Cash flow is king. But is it the right strategy?

Investors are being pulled in different directions, from cash flow plays to new builds. But where are the real opportunities in today's market? On The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil Tarrant is joined by Steve Ash, founder of Property Strats, to examine the changing property market and what investors should be considering in the current climate. The pair discuss the flood of property content across social media, why investors need to look beyond the noise, and how understanding previous market downturns can help put current conditions into perspective. They also explore the impact of changing government policies, the growing focus on cash flow, and the competition between investors and first home buyers, including what is happening in markets such as South Yarra. New builds also come under scrutiny, with the pair discussing construction quality, tight developer margins, and the risks investors can face when buying into new developments, while commercial property and self-managed super fund (SMSF) strategies also come under the spotlight.
