The corona virus is having worldwide impacts and slowing trade and commerce across much of the globe that may tip some economies into temporary recession. Shakespeare’s famous line in Romeo and Juliet "A plague on both your houses!" seems very apt at this time, however this is not a time to panic or worry that the sky is falling.

In this webinar we will examine the impact of the corona virus on the property market and look at:

* What effect does a tanking share market have on the property market?
* Will the Governments proposed stimulus package be enough? How does it compare to GFC times?
* The Aussie dollar is dropping – how is this an opportunity?
* Interest rates at record lows – but for how long and what does this mean for the market?
* Are there hidden opportunities to buy in this market?
These are just a sample of the questions we will be discussing on the webinar – PLUS we give you the opportunity to ask LIVE questions in real time.

Most investors make one big mistake - and all other mistakes flow from this one fundamental error - not spending the time and money to do the necessary research.

Property investment has been described as a "mugs game" in a recent media article, because so many small investors fail to achieve the outcomes they had hoped for. But you will get a poor result if you don't do your preliminary research - spending sufficient time yourself and getting quality information from a range of experts in property and finance.
If you fail to do this research you will end up buying the wrong property, for the wrong price in the wrong location.

Join us for a live panel discussion moderated by Terry Ryder of Hotspotting.
Joining him are Rich Harvey of Propertybuyer, Mark Shorrock of Bluestone Property Management & Sales, Peter Foldes of Washington Brown Depreciation and James Dawson of the Commercial Investing Academy. The panel will be discussing the importance of treating property investment as a business not a hobby - and what you need to do to be successful and join the 1% of investors with multiple investment properties.
