Speaking to Smart Property Investment, Mr Kusher said this year property values would grow at a slower rate than inflation while rents will continue to rise.
“I think investors need to have a greater focus on rental returns rather than capital gains,” Mr Kusher said.

Over the three months to February 29, Darwin recorded the highest gross rental yield for houses at 5.8 per cent while Canberra claimed the highest yields for units at 5.8 per cent, significantly higher than the national average for capital city houses and units at 4.1 per cent and 4.9 per cent respectively, according to the RP Data February Hedonic Daily Home Value Index.
