Before you engage a buyers agent, here’s what the Dashdot collapse reveals about how this industry actually works, and how to protect yourself whether you use one or not.
Most investors think they’re doing property research. They’re browsing listings in suburbs they already know. Australia has over 15,000 suburbs, each at a different point in its cycle, each with different yield and growth fundamentals. Here’s how serious investors actually look at the full picture.
