Folks, we’ve been sharing what we believe will make you a successful investor, but today, we’re turning the microphone over to you.  

We’re answering one of the FIRST questions we’ve ever received on our podcast from Matt:  

And what a great question it is! 🏠 

With the rise in apartments in CBDs around Australia, this is a common question we’ve been hearing, and we’re excited to get into the meat of it today!  

We’re breaking it down into HOW these two accommodations differ, the different types of asset classes you can invest in, and the regulations around them… 

PLUS, we investigate density and spacing (more importantly, how it can create pesky glass ceilings for you)… 

Whether holiday homes are a better investment (curveball, right?!)  

And how lifestyle factors and the fading Great Australian Dream impact our response!  

But before we let you jump into today’s episode, we’ve got a huge announcement!

We’re almost at 1,000 downloads!!
