In this special episode of the Smart Property Investment Show, we hear first-hand from Bernard Salt from The Demographics Group on the realities of investing in Australian property, where you should be channelling your dollars, whether there is a bubble (and if it's going to burst) and how our markets will develop in the future.

Bernard also shares his insights on the red flags all investors should be aware of when investing in property as well as the key economic and social change data you should be using to help establish trends and determine whether to invest in a suburb or area.

According to Bernard, job growth, wage growth and infrastructure growth are the essential factors to consider when looking at a new property. Accessibility, as well as transformation to make the way of life “easier”, are also significant factors to consider.
