On this episode of the ADF Property Podcast, co-hosts Phil Tarrant and Discover Buyers Agency’s Kane Dury are joined by Major Ben Vitale, whose property investment journey started when he served alongside Kane in the Australian Defence Force.

Ben discusses the keys to success around property investment in the military, highlighting that planning ahead and strategic rentvesting can enable soldiers to build a robust portfolio even when moving from post to post.

The trio also highlight the importance of making use of the grants available to ADF members, and how additional grants and rental assistance can be used all at once to maximise a property portfolio.

Property investors must leverage all the resources at their disposal in order to safeguard their portfolio against unexpected economic shifts.

On this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Phil Tarrant is joined by business owner and property investor Mitchell Burge to talk through the economic outlook of Australia’s property sector.

With the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) recently deciding to once again hold interest rates, the two speculate on the potential of a rate cut occurring early next year, and unpack the strategies property investors can use to best prepare their portfolios for the coming year.

They also discuss the multispeed nature of Australia’s property markets and highlight that conditions are currently favourable for investors in Queensland, while warning that property taxation policies in Victoria have damaged the state’s property investment prospects.
