The first, as you probably remember, was the Mexican stand-off between buyers and sellers; this latest stand-off is between 'boffins' (the number-crunching academics) and the buyers/investors, over the question is now the time to buy?
Our September issue looks at just that: Is this stage of the downturn actually hiding the next big boom? We talk to some property experts and also a few investors about on their take on the current situation.
In the second article of our new series, A day in the life, we spend the day with a property valuer and learn how they come up with their numbers.
Investing 101 looks at the number-crunching business side of property investing. We look at how to budget, calculate rates of returns, identify risks and tools to use.
