"Some other problem": Property manager says rental wait times not just a market issue

New builds and townhouses alike have become the best option for first home buyers looking to get into the market. 

Townhouses offer a lower-cost alternative to standalone homes without having to fully commit to apartment living, and new builds often mean low-deposit loans and easier access for first home buyers. 

Problem is, the boom of new build townhouses is quickly slowing down - they're no longer classed as new builds, thus no longer as easy of a first option. 

It's not just a problem for potential buyers - it also means that those looking to sell the townhouses they purchased new a few years back, are waiting much longer for them to sell for not much more than what they were purchased for.

Mum and dad investors are pulling out of the property market. 

The housing market is shifting to focus on the needs of your everyday owner-occupier, but the demand for rentals as still as high as ever and it doesn't look like that will change any time soon. 

The problem is that, among other reasons, the cost of running a rental is at an all time high, debt-to-income and loan-to-value ratio rules have blocked a lot of access to funding, and long-term capital gains aren't what they once were - all leading to more professional property investors.
