Is now a good time to buy property, or the worst time possible?

With inflation rising, interest rates increasing and new lending restrictions, property investors are facing one of the most uncertain markets in years.

We discuss:
📌 Whether property still beats cash or other investments
📌 The hidden costs of owning a home
📌 How rising interest rates impact investors
📌 Why emotional decisions can ruin property investments
📌 The rentvesting strategy many investors use
📌 Alternative markets beyond expensive cities like Melbourne
