War. Inflation. Rate Hikes. Why Property Still Works Right Now

In this episode, Lachlan breaks down why property investment still works—even in uncertain economic conditions. With interest rate movements, inflation pressures, and global instability dominating headlines, many investors are sitting on the sidelines. But are they missing the bigger picture? This episode focuses on separating emotion from fundamentals, highlighting why supply shortages, population growth, and strong rental demand continue to underpin the Australian property market.
