Smart property investment decisions are best made by tuning out the news media.   Media is relentlessly negative, often fuelled by pessimistic forecasts from economists whose track records in predicting real estate outcomes is woefully bad.   An online columnist, in reviewing the latest forecasts from one of the major banks, asked the question: "Should we still be listening?" The answer, we believe, is a resounding No!   Those who listened to media forecasts sourced from bank economists in 2020, and decided not to invest, missed out on 20%-plus in annual price growth. Those who listened to the usual suspects at the start of 2023 would have deferred investment decisions because we were told prices would fall 15-20% - but instead they are rising steadily. There's a better way, based around sound advice, genuine research and sensible strategies.   Hotspotting founder Terry Ryder recently hosted investment expert Danny Buxton of Triple Zero to discuss how to tune out the media white noise and make smart investment decisions. The webinar provides answers to these questions:

1. Is 2023 a time of opportunity for property investors?
2. Where are investors getting good results from capital growth and rental returns?
3. Which regions have the best growth indicators?
4. Is this a good time for investors to undertake new builds?
5. Should investors be deterred by politicians tinkering with the market?
6. Where do you go for accurate information and sensible advice?
