In this episode of Property Investing Insights with Right Property Group, Victor and Reshmi Kumar join Phil Tarrant to unpack what “value” really means in property – and why it’s much more than just the purchase price.

In this episode of Property Investing Insights with Right Property Group, Victor and Reshmi Kumar sit down with Phil Tarrant to unpack property investment strategies, highlighting the power of long-term thinking and personalised approaches. The trio unpacks various strategies suited to different investor stages, from the foundational “buy and hold” to the more advanced “build and balance” and generational investing. Victor illustrates the build and balance strategy through a real example in Dapto, where adding a granny flat and studio significantly boosts rental yield and asset value. The team stresses that true wealth in property is rarely achieved quickly, advocating instead for strategic patience and informed decision-making. As investors mature, they may graduate to generational investing, though Victor warns against entering the commercial property space prematurely without a strong equity base. The hosts also discuss the importance of aligning investment strategies with individual circumstances such as age, goals, and financial capacity. While artificial intelligence offers useful insights, Victor argues it can’t replace human judgement in understanding local markets and deal-making.
