It’s not a (property) bubble because it wouldn’t pop. I think it’s more like a balloon.

Ben Kingsley has recently appeared as a guest on ABC News 24 – The Weekend Breakfast show. He has appeared on this show a couple of times but this time the main focus is on the Property Bubble in Sydney and Melbourne. First of all, is there a bubble?

Should You Be A Borderless Investor?
There are many pros and cons in investing in other states across Australia but more often than not, investors find this a bit daunting. Well, to be fair, there are a lot of things to be cautious about such as unfamiliar territory, different state regulations and more. But in this video, Bryce explains why you should consider being a borderless investor. Here’s a snippet of the article:
So I guess the question for property investors are, should you be a borderless investor and what does that actually mean? More than ever, I’m talking to clients who are keen to not invest in their own backyard and actually look into other states for opportunities to buy because one of the biggest question that I’m always asked, in my role in the show (Location Location Location Australia) and my daily role as a buyers agent, is how is the market doing? It’s kind of a strange question because it’s probably a logical one that people want to know about. But the question is, are you buying? Are you selling? Are you investing? Are you researching?
