2022 is turning out different than what experts expected, as the emergence of Omicron throws a spanner in the property market's works. In a market riddled with uncertainty, having a little “strategic patience” can go a long way. In this episode of Investing Insights with Right Property Group, Steve Waters, Victor Kumar and Phil Tarrant remind investors to keep their heads on their shoulders when navigating the market by being flexible to changes in micro and macroeconomic policies and advise against “buying for the sake of buying”.  The trio enumerates the factors and events that could shake up trends this year – including the upcoming federal elections, continued tightening of supply, a potential RBA rate hike, and further lending restrictions – before zeroing in on the ones that will truly shape the market conditions.  They also touch on how investors can tweak their investment strategies to keep up with the ever-changing real estate market landscape.

As we usher in 2022, The Smart Property Investment Show marks the start of the year with another portfolio market update and talks about the nuts and bolts of refinancing investment properties. In this episode, Right Property Group's Steve Waters joins host Phil Tarrant to take stock of how the portfolio performed in 2021 and devise a game plan to achieve further growth in the coming year. With the portfolio now valued around $8.5 to $9 million in valuation and going on a decade strong, Phil is looking to take things to the next level by releasing the equity locked up in properties for refinancing purposes. Steve gives his professional insight into the complex process of refinancing while highlighting the benefits the process can offer to property investors.
