Have you ever wondered whether it's time to sell your unit and trade up to a house, or how strata fees might affect your long-term returns? You're in the right place.

Today, I’m tackling the hottest questions coming through our Perth Property Investment Facebook group — and these aren’t just casual curiosities, they’re real scenarios from property owners making big decisions.

We’ll cover smart strategies for selling tenanted properties, when buying a unit still makes sense, and what to know before switching to a house. Plus, I’ll take you on a deep dive into Cockburn Central to examine its performance and growth potential, which will also give you a lot of insight into what we look for in a suburb. 

Whether you're just starting or refining your portfolio, this episode will give you insights you can use.

Let’s go inside.

Thrilled With the Sale Experience!

Living in the Melbourne, we had to fully rely on the agency handling the sale of the property. We are thrilled with Investors Edge Real Estate in the way they handled: the marketing, negotiating with the tenant, the time on market and of course the sale! We are looking forward to using their services again.
