Episode 302: What Types of Properties Pose the Highest Risk? | Pain & Gain Report Analysis

"How can you protect your real estate assets in this ever-changing market?"

Property investment can be quite a rollercoaster ride, and CoreLogic's quarterly Pain & Gain Report serves as a stark reminder of that fact. In each report, we witness a substantial segment of Australian property vendors navigating the volatile waters of real estate, sometimes ending up with losses.

Our mission today is to uncover what makes certain property investments riskier than others and to pinpoint the riskiest locations for real estate ventures with the help of the author of the Pain & Gain Report herself — Eliza Owen.

Join us as we take a closer look at the factors that make certain property investments riskier than others and identify the types of properties that pose the highest risk.

Together, let's analyse these statistics and decode the trends so you can chart your course towards successful property investments. Tune in!
