How to make the most of your property investment.

Historically, investing in the Australian real estate market has delivered consistent above-inflation returns to investors. As a medium-risk, medium- to long-term asset class, property offers a ‘bricks and mortar’ investment for which banks are prepared to lend up to 80 per cent of the value. This level of security, combined with the fact our capital cities have experienced sustained house price increases over the last 20 years, makes building a property portfolio a sound financial strategy.
