Education is a top priority for newly elected Australian Direct Property Investment Association (ADPIA) president Linden Toll.
Real Estate Capital Partners (RECP) head of distribution Toll will organise seminars for both advisers and public investors, and also information guides.
He said he wanted to reiterate the fundamentals of investment, teaching investors and advisers what to look for and how not to get into trouble.
"Property suffers from muddy waters, if you like. What you find is from one end of the spectrum to the other - bricks and mortar to high risk profile - if one area looks a bit shaky, then the whole sector suffers," Toll said.
"We're keen to get out there and show people that property is a good solid investment."
Toll has more than 15 years' industry experience in both domestic and international financial markets and funds management.
Prior to joining RECP in 2006, Toll has worked for Macquarie Bank, HSBC, Sanwa Bank and Multiplex Capital.
ADPIA is the peak industry body representing the $20 billion direct property investment sector, with more than 250,000 investors.
RECP has two retail funds - the Real Estate Capital Partners Enhanced Income Fund (REIF) and Hi Q.
