With the country’s interest rate at an 11-year high, what are
the new rules for playing the property investment game?
Data nerd and founder of
InvestorKit, Arjun Paliwal, sits down with Redom Syed, co-director
at Confidence Finance, to provide a combined property research and
housing finance point of view on how the Reserve Bank of
Australia’s rapid rate rise cycle has raised the hurdles faced by
property investors.
Amid increased mortgage repayments and reduced
borrowing capacity, many property investors are skeptical about
buying. However, the experts say it’s all about learning the new
rules investors must play in this high-interest rate environment,
such as adopting a holistic cash flow perspective and prioritising
microeconomic factors over macroeconomics, among others.
Lastly, they remind investors there are always opportunities across
the markets, emphasising that “doing something is better than doing
nothing”.
