“Investing in real estate isn’t about finding the next hotspot, it’s about playing the long game.” - John Comino, Bridge to Bricks

Episode Takeaways:

✅Sydney remains a solid investment due to infrastructure growth, scarcity, and high demand, but affordability remains a challenge.
✅Investors should prioritise areas with government investment, such as Badgerys Creek and the Sydenham-Bankstown corridor, rather than chasing short-term trends.
✅Strata properties in Sydney can be a great starting point for investors, but due diligence on strata reports is crucial to avoid costly mistakes.
