In this episode of the Defence Property Podcast, co-hosts Kane Dury from Discover Buyers Agency and Liam Garman, editor of Smart Property Investment, dive into two of the most overlooked but critical aspects of property investing: opportunity cost and due diligence.
They unpack the hidden cost of waiting too long to invest and how analysis paralysis or emotional decision-making can leave defence personnel behind in rising markets. Dury shares real-world examples of missed opportunities, and why timing the market perfectly can sometimes do more harm than good.
The duo also stress the importance of detailed due diligence, looking beyond the surface appeal of a property. From flood zones and bushfire overlays to public housing density and infrastructure plans, defence investors are walked through the essential checks before signing on the dotted line.
Whether you’re looking to build a portfolio or buying your first investment property, this episode is packed with hard-won insights to help ADF members maximise returns and minimise risk.
