Every month, we ask our audience to send in a suburb that they'd like analysed. InvestorKit's senior research analyst Junge Ma dives deep into the numbers to help you make smarter buying decisions in today’s market.

We break down what’s really happening in the local market—from population growth and housing demand to rental yields and vacancy rates—while also highlighting some of the challenges that investors need to keep in mind. Junge shares valuable insights into who’s actually renting in the area and why that matters when choosing the right type of property.
Tune in because by the end of this episode, you’ll have a clearer picture of whether Craigieburn townhouses are a good fit for your strategy, or if your money could work harder in other parts of Victoria.
