EP 148 Balancing information and intuition in a crowded market

In this episode of Property Investing Insights with Right Property Group, Victor and Reshmi Kumar sit down with Phil Tarrant to discuss the changing landscape of property and finance. The trio explores the increasing presence of women in finance, with Reshmi highlighting the positive shift towards a more inclusive industry compared to two decades ago. Victor reflects on the challenges today’s investors face, noting that while information is more accessible, the market is also saturated with competing voices and strategies, making it harder to build trust and stand out. The conversation also covers the influx of younger, tech-savvy investors, who are reshaping the industry with fresh perspectives. Both Reshmi and Victor emphasise the importance of having a clear investment strategy and a solid exit plan, highlighting that retiring debt is the ultimate goal, achievable through surplus income, portfolio income, selling assets or, humorously, winning the lottery. The trio says that investors should ensure each property purchase aligns with their long-term financial goals, and that focusing on capital growth is crucial to achieving financial freedom. As the property landscape continues to change, they advise investors to view their journey as a process requiring clear goals, adaptability, and an understanding of how to navigate the market effectively.
