Building Wealth with Property: Leah Finch’s Inspiring 109% ROIC Story | #274

Does it feel like the property market is moving faster than ever?

These days, it seems like the strategies that worked 10, even 5 years ago seem less effective.

It makes you wonder:

What’s really happening in the Australian property market right now?

In this latest episode of Dashdot Insider, we’re answering this question just for you.

Traditional tactics might not be your best bet anymore. We talk about how tech, data, and a mix of solid fundamentals are changing the game, giving investors a clearer picture of where the opportunities are. 

Our guest, Sean Simpson has been in the trenches, investigating more properties than anyone else in Australia. So, when he says the market is fundamentally shifting, it's time to pay attention.

How Fundamental Analysis Tells You When And Where To Buy | #273

With property prices going crazy, it’s easy to feel like you’re being left behind.

But there’s still a way in.

In the latest episode of the Dashdot Insider Podcast, we’re sitting down with Sean Simpson, Head of Property at Dashdot.

He’s looked at thousands of properties and studied every corner of the market. And what’s he buying for himself?

Units.

If you’re one of those thinking that houses are where the money’s at… it might be time to shake off those old-school biases.

See, the price gap between houses and units is the largest it’s ever been, and units are starting to outpace houses in growth in major cities.

But why? 

Let Sean tell you the details in this episode.
