Ep. 12 | Why Invest in Property? (Property Investing in Australia)




The Property Couch | The Insider's Guide to Property Investing show

Summary: It comes as no surprise that Bryce Holdaway and Ben Kingsley are huge advocates to investing in property. As property investment advisors and buyers agents, they’ve come across many different platforms of investment and have chosen property as their preferred vehicle. But, why invest in property? This is the main topic that Bryce and Ben will be discussing today particularly in terms of investing in residential property. They won’t be debating whether property or shares is a better option because both type of investments can be used depending on the investor’s circumstances and preferences ie: <a href="http://www.thepropertycouch.com.au/episode-003-four-pillars-of-mastery-cash-flow-management/" target="_blank">cash flow position</a>, tolerance to risk, years to retirement and more.
