About this episode

On this episode of The Australian Finance Podcast, we’re hosting our first Property Q&A with Owen Rask and Chris Bates, founder of Blusk.

Chris Bates was recently voted the #1 mortgage broker in Australia by The Adviser! You might know Chris from The Australian Property Podcast, which he co-hosts with Pete Wargent, Amy Lunardi and Owen.

Topics covered in today’s property Q&A include:

1. What does a ‘good asset’ in property actually mean?

2. If I can’t afford a nice house, should I buy something that’s cheap?

3. Fixed or variable rate – what should I do now?

4. Upgrading: should I buy or sell first? How do I lower my risk?

5. ETFs or property deposit… or both!?
