In today’s show we cover: · The negative effects of the 2017 lending restrictions. · The impact of rising property holding costs, including increased taxes and levies. · Investor sentiment as reported in the PIPA survey, and strategies for navigating the current challenges for investors. · How the government's policies on building more homes and increasing density in established suburbs might affect new and existing investors.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
