We break down why some expensive inner city and middle market properties can underperform, and why regional markets, lower price points, job growth, internal migration, vacancy rates and rental demand can sometimes create stronger opportunities for regular Australian investors.We also look at the difference between true blue chip property and what most people think blue chip means, plus why buying one expensive property may not always beat a more diversified portfolio strategy.This episode is for anyone researching where to buy an investment property in Australia and wanting to make smarter, data backed decisions instead of following the usual “location, location, location” advice.
