Why REA could be a better way to invest in property
Roger Montgomery
August 16, 2021
According to a recent rent report by Domain, gross rental yields have dived to around 4 per cent on the back of soaring property prices. This makes direct investment in property less appealing than it once was. But there are other ways to profit from Australia’s obsession with property.

Why landlords are feeling the pinch
Andreas Lundberg
September 22, 2020
The COVID-19 restrictions have certainly altered the balance of power in the housing rental market – particularly in Sydney and Melbourne. New data shows that increased supply and decreased demand have shifted power to the renters, who are finding it far easier to negotiate a new lease on better terms. continue…
