info_outlineRegional vs Capital Debate
Is it better to invest in regional markets or stick with the tried-and-true capital cities?
In this episode, Todd Sloan moderates a fiery debate between two heavyweight investors: Arjun Paliwal (with a $17M portfolio) and Steve Ash (with $10M in property). The big question is on the table—and both sides come out swinging.
Arjun makes a strong case for regional markets, pointing to affordability, yields, and population share. Meanwhile, Steve champions capital cities, backed by long-term performance data and greater stability.
Tune in as Todd puts forward four key statements—two for each side—and lets the sparks fly. From liquidity and market cycles to investor trends and economic fundamentals, this episode is packed with sharp insights and real-world experience.
Whether you’re team regional or team capital city, you’ll walk away better informed for your next property move.
