Episode 230: Debunking Australia's Property Investing Myths | Evan Thornley, LongView

Property advice is unregulated and plenty of myths surround what makes a good investment. Many of these myths are just sales talk, but people still seem to be enticed across the nation. 

In this episode, we’re challenging property investing myths a lot of Australians believe – Is there such a thing as ‘the right timing’ in buying? Should you trust bank property predictions? Should you worry about rising interest rates?

Evan Thornley of LongView Property Managers & Advisors joins us in providing evidence that most of these property investing myths are… rubbish!
