A focus on build quality in light of the Opal Tower structural integrity concerns

10 JAN 2019 By Todd Stevens 8 min read Investor Strategy

In this episode of the Smart Property Investment Show, host Russell Stephenson is joined by Katarina Taurian, who shares how her investment journey has been since her first property purchase in 2016.

In light of the recent coverage surrounding the structural concerns of the Opal Tower in Sydney, Katarina shares why structural integrity was top of her list when purchasing her first property, even revealing that she would take a tool kit with her to property inspections.

Katrina explains what build quality means to her, the surprising belief that she regularly encountered when dealing with conveyancers and reveals where she sought the information that helped her to make an educated property purchase.

She also reveals her plans for her portfolio going forward, why even as a property owner she is glad that property prices are softening, and why she believes pricing rental in your investments shouldn’t necessarily meet what the market value suggests.
