Why real estate is a good investment
Planning for investment success
AI summary
Real estate investment can build wealth through rental income and capital growth. Expert Josh Phegan recommends a long-term 'buy and hold' strategy to ride out market cycles, noting houses often gain more value than units.
Current conditions are favourable for buyers, with peaked interest rates, easing LVR restrictions, and high property supply. When choosing an investment, look for:
- Proximity to transport and population growth
- Potential to add value through renovations
- Future redevelopment potential
Always budget for ongoing expenses like maintenance and management fees.
