Is residential property investing really dead, or have the rules simply changed?
In this Q&A episode of Future Proof Property, Dawn tackles one of the biggest claims circulating in the property world and explains why today's market isn't the end of residential investing, it's the end of buying without a strategy.
Covering 15 listener questions, Dawn dives into everything from negative gearing changes and market sentiment to apartments, buyers' agents, granny flats, timing the market, and knowing when to sell. She also shares where she's personally investing, why Melbourne remains one of her favourite markets, and why waiting for certainty could be the most expensive decision investors make.
If you're feeling overwhelmed by conflicting headlines or wondering what the recent policy changes mean for your next move, this episode will help you cut through the noise and focus on what really drives long-term wealth creation.
