  • Today’s episode will not be a property episode, but it will definitely relate to property and building your wealth over time.

    Becoming financially fluent would be the best gift you can give yourself.

    The challenge is who do you listen to? Who do you get advice from?

    That's why, in my daily Property Update we deliver property information from a range of leading experts and I discuss a lot about how to become financially fluent, and that's why we have these sorts of episodes on the podcast.

    I’ve found that getting sound, impartial financial advice along your journey to wealth is not a cost. It's an investment.

    Interestingly all the wealthy people I know have advisors and are happy to pay for them. At the same time, the average Australian gets financial advice from Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and even podcasts like this.

    So, despite that disclaimer, today I want to share seven money tips to supercharge your finances.

  • I’ve often said that property investment is a game of finance with some houses thrown in the middle.

    But currently, more and more investors and homeowners are having difficulty getting finance, so what should you do?

    What type of finance strategy should you have to make yourself more attractive to the banks and why can some investors get loans when others can’t?

    These are only some of the questions I’m going to ask today of finance strategist Hung Chuy, director of Strategic Mortgage Brokers and I asked him to help you understand what’s going on and how to get the banks to say yes more often to you.

  • If you’re a property investor, the most common question you will likely ask is, "Where should I buy my next investment property?”

    In fact, who wouldn’t give their second garage to know which city will outperform over the next decade?

    Well, that’s the question I’m going to ask my guest today - independent financial adviser Stuart Wemyss, Director of Prosolution Private clients, who is going to give us an evidence-based approach, and looking at his track record, I think he’s worth listening to.

  • Today I'd like to explain to you why our housing crisis is going to expose some of the flaws in the quick-fix solutions our major political parties are telling us is going to solve the housing crisis.

    I was writing a blog about this, and thought I've got to discuss it with you now. As a regular listener, you'd know I normally have guests on the show, but it's just me and you every now and then. And that's what this show is today, as I want to get out some thoughts about why our housing crisis will become a fierce political battle, and that could have major implications leading right up to the next election.

    Both parties the major parties have come up with some ideas and they just don't cut it. So, if you're interested in property, as an investor, or as a home buyer, I hope I'm going to give you some insights into what's ahead and what not to believe when the media tells you.

  • There are 106 suburbs across Australia that are cheaper today than they were five years ago, new analysis shows, despite house and unit prices doubling at the same time.

    That’s one of the reports from Domain that I’m going to chat about today with Dr. Nicola Powell, Domain’s Chief of Research and Economics, and we will also discuss Domain’s latest reports covering the latest developments in our housing and rental markets and much more

    These are also some of the questions I’m going to be asking Nicola today.

  • Only a few months ago, there was talk about the hope of interest rates starting to fall by the middle of this year. Australia’s biggest bank in CBA suggested there could be six cuts in interest rates over the next two years.

    And then things changed, inflation remained more stubborn and the economy grew strongly and suddenly there was talk of potential interest rate rises.

    What’s ahead for interest rates and our property markets?

    There are clues in the news as to what’s ahead, which I will discuss in this month’s podcast with leading financial commentator Pete Wargent, who brings decades of perspective to his views.

    As always, we will discuss a raft of macro and micro economic factors that should give you clues as to what’s ahead for our housing markets.

  • Over the past few years we've witnessed a whirlwind of changes, particularly in the mortgage market.

    Mortgage rates have skyrocketed, soaring from 2.9% in April 2022 to a staggering 6.4% today.

    And if that wasn't enough, the rental crisis has reached new heights, with vacancy rates plummeting to record lows nationwide, causing rents to skyrocket.

    In the face of these mounting pressures, purchasing an apartment has become a viable solution for some.

    However, this seemingly attractive option comes with its challenges with a severe shortage of apartments nationwide.

    It’s a topic at the forefront of discussions among investors, developers, and policymakers alike.

    To unpack this further, I'm joined by Richard Temlett, the National Executive Director of Research at property consultants and valuers Charter Keck Cramer.

    We'll explore the dynamics of the current apartment market, understand the factors driving the shortage, and dissect the trends in both the build-to-rent and build-to-sell sectors.

    Whether you are a property investor, apartment owner, or Real Estate enthusiast, I’m sure you will get some benefit out of our chat today.

  • Have you ever wondered why some locations that could be labelled as 'secondary’ outperform the established blue-chip suburbs?

    What drives this unexpected surge in property value, and more importantly, is this a trend that savvy investors should be paying attention to?

    Should you be looking for these suburbs, or should you stick to blue-chip locations?

    I’d like to know if this is a mere market fluctuation, or are we witnessing a fundamental shift in what defines a 'smart investment' in our property markets?

    That’s what I ask my guest today, leading independent financial advisor, Stuart Wemyss, director of Prosolution private client.

    The Australian Taxation Office is implementing some innovative strategies and forming new alliances to recoup billions of dollars of revenue deficit.

    This means Australian property investors should be on high alert and make sure they have completed all their obligations correctly.

    To discuss how to avoid getting trapped by the tax man today I'm joined today by Rob Thompson, Assistant Tax Commissioner at the ATO. We are going to discuss some things that will help you understand what your obligations are and how not to get yourself in trouble, particularly some aspects that relate to property investors.

  • What will life be like in 10 years?

    Strategic property investors think in 10-year time frames, they don’t worry about what’s going to happen to interest rates or the economy in the next six weeks or the next six months.

    In my mind, 10 years is a short term and the successful investors I know ponder about what the housing markets will be like in 20 to 30 years.

    We are living through times of rapid change, but most of us don’t like change. It makes us feel uncomfortable.

    We like a level of certainty about our future, health, and jobs, as well as about the worlds of finance and property that most of us are interested in.

    But there are history lessons that can provide us with valuable insights.

    In today’s episode, I’d like to talk about some of the things that never change in a world that never stops changing.

    Successful investors and businesspeople need to be prepared for change but also understand the things that don’t change.

    Hopefully, by the end of today’s show, you’ll come out with some ideas about how to get some more certainty in these uncertain times.

  • Today's show tackles a hot-button issue in Australia: housing affordability.

    With skyrocketing prices and rents, and a shortage of available homes, many are pointing the finger at immigration.

    Is stopping immigration really the answer?

    Ken Raiss, Director of Metropole Wealth Advisory, joins me today to discuss this complex topic.

    Mike's team has recently released a report titled 'Rising Tide of Unit Rents Closes Gap with Houses in Major Capitals' that sheds light on some transformative trends and provides an understanding of the shifts in housing affordability and renter preferences.

  • To help you understand what's ahead and if our property markets are going to keep rising or going to slow down or even go backward, as some property pessimists are still suggesting, in today's episode I want to outline the dynamics and the economics of Australia's property markets and what causes property values to increase and what makes them fall.

    I want to do this to help ensure that your investments outperform the market averages over the long term.

    Today this topic is so important it's just going to be you and me as I share with you what causes property markets to boom and bust.

    From the current state of supply and demand to the potential disruptions from AI and robotics on the workforce, this episode offers a comprehensive guide for anyone interested in the complexities of real estate investment and the economic forces at play in Australia's property landscape.

  • Today, we're diving into a topic that's making waves in the property market.

    I’m joined by Julie Toth, Chief Economist at PEXA, to discuss the findings of their 2023 Cash Purchases Report, which sheds light on a startling trend: over a quarter of residential properties in Australia's eastern states were bought with cash in 2023.

    These cash buyers were immune to interest-rate heights and in a market typically swayed by mortgage rates and lending criteria, so together with Julie, we'll explore the implications of this trend, the profile of these cash buyers, and what it all means for the future of the Australian property landscape.

    From potential impacts on housing affordability to the ripple effects on the broader economy, we're set to uncover some truly eye-opening insights.

  • I’ve often said that demographic changes will be more important in shaping our property markets in the medium to long term than the ups and downs of interest rates or the vagaries of our economy, so I’m pleased to have leading demographer Simon Kuestenmacher back on the show.

    Simon is a co-founder of The Demographics Group and a master in interpreting data and trends to forecast how societies evolve, and his insights are pivotal for anyone interested in property, lifestyle changes, and investment strategies.

    Recently Simon wrote a series of articles in The New Daily outlining the changes he sees ahead for us in the next decade and what these shifts mean for our future.

    We shift our focus today to Australia's economic future, considering our ties with China and how the evolving global Chinese middle class will interact with our exports amidst demographic challenges. We then dissect the educational landscape, discussing the potential impact of an over-saturated university graduate market.

    As society changes, we also discuss shifts in media consumption habits and concerns over AI's influence on news quality. If you’re a property investor or a business owner, you’ll want to understand what these trends mean for you, and like all my regular chats with Simon, this conversation promises to be thought-provoking.
