Off-market properties: Hidden gems or investor traps?

On a recent episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Phil Tarrant and Steve Ash, founder of Property Strats, explore the opportunities and pitfalls of off-market properties, unpacking myths and opportunities for savvy investors.

They note that off-market properties, often seen as hidden gems, are not inherently cheaper and can sometimes represent struggling listings rather than bargains.

The conversation highlights the importance of discerning judgment, as even numerous opportunities require careful evaluation to avoid poor investments.

The duo emphasise constructing a resilient, “bulletproof” portfolio capable of withstanding market fluctuations and avoiding speculative traps, particularly in remote or volatile areas.

Both experts stress the value of combining data-driven analysis with market intuition, encouraging investors to focus on areas with strong growth potential and real-time supply-demand insights.

Ash advocates a contrarian approach, looking beyond conventional trends to uncover undervalued opportunities, while Tarrant urges reliance on credible resources and continuous learning.

The discussion reinforces that successful investing relies on informed, strategic decision-making rather than chasing quick gains.
