Most of us have visions of sharing a home with the person we love. However, in Australia and many other countries real estate owes a large part of its success to divorce! Approximately 50% of marriages end up down the drain, leaving many to look for new shelter. In 2019 113,000 marriages and 49,000 divorces were granted in Australia, whilst the ABS has the median duration of a marriage at 12.2 years.
Married or divorced, single or loved up, this episode cracks the code of winning in love and money.
Righto, I’m off to get married!

Wanting to start a reno but not sure where to begin?
It’s so enticing to renovate as soon as you buy an investment property - but if you choose well and think wisely, you’re better off waiting ten years and renovating with equity instead of cash.
Most people want to do a structural renovation on their home or IP, but often all that’s required is a cosmetic renovation. Unless you’re a professional renovator, structural renovation can be a major time and money blowout, not to mention the emotional investment!
On this episode I discuss the variety of renovating options available to you.
Also, I reference design logic - which has an episode all to itself on Episode 17 - The Secret Language of Real Estate.
Enjoy!
3:26 - Why Renovating Is So Popular
7:02 - Renovation traps
10:08 - Become a 10 Year Renovator

Understanding today’s market has a marker all of us have never had before: COVID. From open homes being shut down during outbreaks to wild price rises in certain locations, understanding the market in 2021 is nuanced compared to other rising markets.
Where is Australia’s most undersupplied location? The answer may surprise. What’s up with the real estate FOMO? And how do we fix this supply issue? Oh and one more thing, I’m fundraising for love - yep, my friend Elle is looking for love and I’m going to play cupid and raise money for Room to Read at the same time!

I had to battle some big money shame demons growing up. I’ve since learnt that I wasn’t alone! Did you know most people feel ashamed about money and their financial status! Remember, no one is born knowing anything about money. Most of us get to our adult life with no comprehension about money. And that’s OK. Warren Buffet wasn’t extremely wealthy until his late 50s. If you’re hard on yourself around money and not recognising that it is a continuous learning process, your money muscles will remain small. This is a big conversation; I hope you enjoy.
Highlights include -
2:51 - Mental health and money shame
7:24 - The Australian and NZ financial classes
10:48 - I Am Sydney’s Chernobyl Boy

How do you win in the green economy? When investing in real estate, climate change and the environment are more important to factor in than ever. You don’t want to buy property that will be uninsurable in the future. And that’s becoming more common by the day. More than 700,000 dwellings will be uninsurable in the future due to risk of natural disaster.
What is the star rating of the suburb you live in? Some are terrible, and it’s little wonder why. The higher the star rating, the likelihood of that area appreciating in value and being highly sought after.
Property investors can embrace the idea that if you invest in an area centred around wellness, you can almost bet on that it will rise in value.
All this and more in the latest episode of the Urban Property Investor.

Happy New Year!
I love this time of the year for our desire to look ahead! With 2020 behind us, what does the coming year look like in the world of real estate, especially for investors? I have my views, and I must say they are largely optimistic. Of course, whilst some uncertainty still remains, these cannot be set in stone, but with the government supporting almost every element of real estate, you can be more confident than not that 2021 will be a strong year for investors.
On this episode I discuss -
4:57 - Quantitive easing - what it is and why it’s pivotal right now
