Tasmanian Times does not necessarily agree with everything we publish. We feel it is useful to understand various issues by platforming different voices. Here we present a ‘property investor’ view of Hobart and Launceston. Reproduced below is the blurb from the Ripehouse Advisory channel on YouTube.
