Season 4, Episode 46 - What was Senior Property Strategist's lightbulb moment?

In this insightful episode, Michael Beresford interviews Kosta Maltaris, a Senior Property Strategist at OpenCorp, who is known for his exceptional expertise in helping clients start and build their investment portfolios. Kosta shares the most common questions he encounters from first-time investors, such as how to afford and hold an investment property on top of a home mortgage. He explains the financial benefits of investment properties, including rental returns and tax credits, which can significantly offset holding costs.

Kosta also discusses the right timing for investors to purchase their second property, emphasising the importance of having sufficient borrowing capacity and financial buffers. Highlighting the impact of the current tight rental market, he explains how low vacancy rates and rising rents can facilitate the holding of multiple properties.

The episode culminates with Kosta reflecting on his personal investment journey, which began 15 years ago. He shares a poignant lightbulb moment from his early days, inspired by his father’s hard work and the desire for quality family time, which steered him towards property investment.
