In this episode of Inside Commercial Property, Scott O’Neill and Phil Tarrant tackle one of the most hotly debated topics in Australian property investment: regional versus capital city property. Investors are often told that regional markets promise higher yields, while capital cities offer long-term growth, but is that really the full story?
Drawing on real client examples and market data, Scott and Phil explore the strengths and pitfalls of both strategies. From the cash flow benefits in regional centres to the capital appreciation trends in metro markets, they unpack the truth behind the headlines and expose the risks investors often overlook.
Key topics covered in this episode include:
Why regional properties appear attractive on yield but can lack long-term growth consistency.
How infrastructure spending and population migration are reshaping regional opportunities.
Why capital city assets remain the cornerstone of many high-performing portfolios.
The investor profiles best suited to regional versus metro strategies.
The overlooked costs and risks that can turn a “bargain” regional property into a poor investment.
Whether you’re weighing up your next purchase or rethinking your portfolio strategy, this episode provides clarity on the regional versus capital city debate. Packed with sharp insights and grounded in real-world investing experience, Scott and Phil cut through the noise to show you how to align your property strategy with your financial goals.
