So the ability to identify future outperforming hotspots by being borderless and adopting a national property approach has and is becoming increasingly important, especially if you want to join the ranks of the sustainably successful 5% - because 80% of the growth of a property comes from its location and a minor difference in the growth rate between one location and another can make hundreds of thousands of dollars of difference to the value of your property nest egg over time.
