While investors wait, Matt Sharp is still buying.

Remember when buying a property meant rushing through an inspection, competing against a dozen other buyers and making a decision before the weekend was over?

Our Founder & Director, Matt Sharp remembers it well. And he prefers the market we’re in now.

While negative headlines have plenty of investors second-guessing their next move, we’re still actively buying. Our approach starts with the fundamentals, a clear strategy and understanding what each client wants to achieve.

In this episode, Matt joins Mike to discuss where we’re finding opportunities and how investors can make informed decisions in a more uncertain market.

They explore the $450,000–$800,000 price bracket, the Victorian markets we’re watching and practical ways to improve rental income without taking on an expensive renovation.

For those who already own investment properties, Matt also explains why your next purchase deserves a look at the whole portfolio: what you own, where you’re exposed and what your next property needs to do for you.

In the conversation, you’ll hear:

• Why affordable markets with strong fundamentals deserve a closer look.
• What we prioritise when selecting properties for long-term growth.
• How adding a bedroom could improve rental returns.
• Why villas and smaller complexes may offer opportunities for investors focused on cash flow.
• How to think about diversification and liquidity.
• Why Matt sees advantages in buying in a quieter market.

The market doesn’t need to be booming for a good investment opportunity to exist. But it does pay to know what you’re looking for.
