Fewer women report owning an investment property

While investing in property may seem very prevalent in Australia, only 12.7% of respondents reported having ownership of at least one residential investment property, or about 2.5 million adult Australians in a recent Women & Property survey conducted by CoreLogic, Inc in 2025.

Overall, residential property investment was reported as higher across males (14.2%) than females (11.4%) and owning one investment property was most common.

Very few respondents had more than one investment property, just 2.4% of women and 3.2% of men.

Breaking down data by age, the greatest discrepancy in ownership of residential investment properties was among Gen Z respondents (18-29 year olds). Based on the survey results, 13.8% of young men had at least one investment property compared to 6.4% of young women. The smallest discrepancy was among Baby Boomers, where roughly 10.0% of men and 11.3% of women-owned at least one investment property.

Affordability was identified as a bigger challenge for women

When asked about challenges related to buying property, the most common response among those surveyed was “too expensive/rising prices”.

Fractional Property Investing in Bali solves this issue. 

With lower entry points starting at $105,000 AUD and innovative ways to pay, such as with a Self Managed Super Fund or Equity Release from an Australian property mortgage, fractionally investing in cash flow positive property in Bali is a breath of fresh air.

Respondents who did not own property were asked the main reasons they had not purchased. 

More than half the respondents expressed that they did not have enough saved for upfront costs, such as a deposit and stamp duty. This was the case for 52.0% of total respondents, 54.7% of females and 48.3% of males. 

At least half of all female respondents across Gen Z, Millennials and Gen X nominated that this was a barrier to buying property. Following the hurdle of upfront purchase costs, the next-highest barrier identified was that ongoing costs were too high – such as mortgage payments, council costs and building insurance. Interestingly, there was a more notable gap between women (29.0%) and men (16.0%) who identified this as a barrier to buying.

Fractional property investing in Bali solves this issue, too. 

With no additional purchase expenses such as stamp duty payable and a net return environment, meaning all expenses have been taken care of before investor returns are paid, cash-flow positive investments in Bali make so much sense.

What is fractional property investing?

Fractional property investing in Bali is a form of real estate investment where multiple investors share ownership of a property. This allows investors to divide the cost and benefits, such as rental income and capital appreciation, among themselves.

Here are some key points about fractional property investing in Bali:

Accessibility: It makes premium real estate accessible to a broader range of investors by pooling resources.

Flexibility: Investors can choose the extent of their investment, allowing them to manage their investment according to their financial capacity and goals.

Passive Income: Properties managed under fractional ownership schemes are usually high-quality assets in sought-after locations, offering robust rental yields.

Simplicity: Professional management companies handle the hassles of maintenance, management, and dealing with tenants, offering a hassle-free investment experience.

Bali's thriving tourism industry and lower property prices compared to Australia make it an attractive option for investors looking to diversify their portfolios and generate substantial cash-flow positive income.
