In this episode, Jarrod applies a SWOT analysis to the Activity Centres program to cut through the politics and assess what it really means on the ground.

Historically, while common to express interest, such transactions rarely materialised. Now, we're observing a shift where these intentions are frequently turning into successful property purchases.
Jarrod is joined by Wakelin's property management expert and buyers' agent, Jordan Telfer, to explore this trend.
