Note: This episode is a re-run of one of our older episodes. It originally aired on 12th November 2015 😊   In today's episode, we dive deep into why the old adage of 'location, location, location' still rings true for property investment. We explore how 80% of your return is determined by where you buy, and only 20% by what you buy.   One of the three filters in our asset selection criteria is scarcity, and today we take a close look at that concept. What exactly do we mean when we refer to scarcity in property investing? Are there certain elements in particular to look out for that will increase your property’s value? Throughout the episode, we'll also underscore the importance of considering owner occupier appeal in your investments, why developers favour high-density projects, and why smaller investors should hone in on scarcity in top-tier locations. Get comfy because this bonus episode is all about helping you understand the crucial role of scarcity and how it can ensure your next investment decision is a savvy one!  Free Stuff Mentioned FREE PROPERTY REPORT: Learn how your suburb is performing in this comprehensive 39-page report.

We follow Leisa on her jaw-dropping journey as she navigates holding onto her 4 properties, is blasted with a $15,000 levy fee, manages mortgage prison and much more on her journey to passive income retirement.  An inspirational tale for all, we hope Leisa’s story will inspire - particularly the middle-aged folks out there or solo supermums - who fear it’s too late for them to get onto the property ladder.

Folks, today marks the FIRST episode of our much anticipated 2023/24 Summer Series!We’re extraordinarily excited to sit down with some amazing listeners and dig into their money story, explore the steps they took to build their property portfolios and ultimately unpack the intriguing question (which is also the theme of this series...)“What does money mean to YOU?”  As our 6th Summer Series, we’re spending this season digging deep into the psyche of the investor, understanding what motivates us ultimately as humans and understanding how we can use this knowledge to bolster us on our property journeys.  To start us off, we’re welcoming an incredibly hardworking and humble guest who realised at a young age that if he wanted anything in this life, he would have to make it happen himself. Ethan, today’s Summer Series guest, grew up with a younger brother with Down Syndrome and at just 16 years old,  was diagnosed with depression. Knowing that the school teaching system wasn’t working for him, he left school shortly after.  Over the next 14 years, Ethan has completely transformed his circumstances and now owns a 5-property portfolio worth 2.3 million dollars. 🤯🤯🤯  Tune in to discover how he bought his first property at 18 while earning apprentice wages (He was on $6 an hour folks!), why he continues to invest in Wodonga and the benefit of having a strong network and great tenants.  Ethan was also recently diagnosed with Aspergers, adding another layer to his incredible journey!   Thank you for blasting off our 2023/24 Summer Series Ethan, what a truly motivational tale that showcases the importance of hard work and highlights that young people can get onto the property ladder.  LISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >> MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform: https://www.moorr.com.au/ FREE MASTERCLASS:- How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >> FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple Again FIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube

Hey folks, it's that time again for our Monthly Economic and RBA update! This time around, Ben got his sight set on a few key things: RBA's November Board Meeting: We've all been eagerly waiting to see if the RBA is going to hike the cash rate again. This could mark the 13th time they've done it in this upward cycle. Find out more in this episode! Inflation Rant: Hold onto your hats because Ben got a bit of a rant brewing about inflation. Property Market Scoop: Of course, last but not least, the most popular part of Ben’s RBA updates…. the latest data on the property market! But before we dive into all that, we can't ignore the elephant in the room – the heightened geo-political tensions and the Middle East conflict. This isn't just a humanitarian crisis; it's also making waves in the global economy. All this uncertainty and instability is putting a damper on global economic confidence, sentiment, and investment. Plus, it's affecting oil supply, prices, and trade, which is basically throwing a wrench into the works of the world economy. Let's cross our fingers for some speedy resolutions in the Middle East and Ukraine to ease these troubles. But for now, the world is feeling jittery and there's more downside risk ahead if these issues continue to weigh on developed economies.  We know these aren’t uplifting news to share, but it's important to acknowledge the economic consequences tied to these global events.  And folks, if you're feeling the pinch with those rate hikes and worried about your cashflow in the next few months, we've got a couple of handy resources for you: A) MoneySTRETCH Tool on Moorr: This cool tool lets you play around with different scenarios and see how they impact your cashflow and savings right away. Learn more about MoneySTRETCH here >   B) Free Finance Checkup with our Award-Winning Crew: If you're looking to review yuor loans, our sister company, Empower Wealth recently snagged the Australian Brokerage of the Year award from the Australian Mortgage Awards, and they would be thrilled to assist you! Learn more about Empower Wealth's Mortgage Broking services here >   Alright, what are you waiting for?

Because there is something that is absolutely non-negotiable.  So in today’s episode, we’re going to take a deep dive on the four areas — the “Quadrants”  — of our Buyer’s Decision Quadrant so you can sleep well knowing you’ve picked the right investment property with the money you have and the ambitions you seek! Listen now to learn how to pick the right investment property by using our Buyer’s Decision Quadrant to weigh up the “wins” and “loses” of what you compromise on! Don’t forget, get further insights and “play along at home” by picking up a FREE physical copy of our book here: http://www.thearmchairguide.com.au/ Here’s a bit of what we cover in today’s episode…What is “The Buyers Decision Quadrant” and how can you use it to purchase your next investment property?What is The One Thing you should NEVER compromise on?Should you buy “Smaller, Closer In” OR “Bigger, Further Out?”What can you compromise on if you have a smaller budget?How to recognise which investment property will work for your own circumstances…Is a property that “ticks all boxes” – AKA the perfect property – really a myth?Is “Uglier” always better?Land size considerations…What should you quickly overlook?Free ResourcesFree Book – The Armchair Guide To Property Investing: How to Retire on $2,000 A Week (please just pay for postage – we’ll pay for the book and send it anywhere in Australia for you.)  LISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >> MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform: https://www.moorr.com.au/ FREE MASTERCLASS:- How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >> FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple Again FIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube

Not all properties are created equal. And there is a specific reason for this – what we like to call “The Psychology Behind The Price”. And this has EVERYTHING to do with human interest and human behaviour – something that can indeed be measured and, almost always, stays exactly the same… no matter who you are or where you live.Here’s the deal… there are two “types” of properties – Investment Grade and Investment Stock. And most investors are often tricked into thinking – or falsely assume – that what they think is a good investment is going to turn out to be, well, a good investment. And this is NOT the case. In fact, it’s often the complete opposite.This may come as a surprise to you… but the greatest investments – what we call “investment grade” properties – actually target the owner-occupier (that is, the home owner)… NOT the investor!And in today’s episode we’re going to tell you exactly why this is and give you the science behind what makes for an Investment Grade property and how to recognise one using the golden rule that underpins the value of property – Supply and Demand! Listen now to learn how to get a return on your investment property and keep it… simply by identifying high demand in the property market.Remember… Investment Grade = Great. Investment Stock = No good. Don’t forget, get further insights and “play along at home” by picking up a FREE physical copy of our book here: http://www.thearmchairguide.com.au/ Here’s a bit of what we cover in today’s episode…What types of properties almost always outperform others?What do we mean by “Supply and Demand” and how can property investors use this to get a return on investment?Investment Grade vs Investment StockWhat is “Owner-Occupier Appeal”?How To Identify REAL High Demand in The Property Market!Critical Supply Considerations and How to Identify “Scarcity” in the marketThe Three Biggies: Human Behaviour, Human Interest and Economic ActivityWhat Property Indicators should property investors assess?Why does the Demographic of a property market have such an impact on property prices?What areas will grow most in value?What is gentrification?Tips for Investing in Apartments Free ResourcesFree Book – The Armchair Guide To Property Investing: How to Retire on $2,000 A Week(please just pay for postage – we’ll pay for the book and send it anywhere in AustrLISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >> MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform: https://www.moorr.com.au/ FREE MASTERCLASS:- How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >> FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple Again FIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube

This episode took us 4 years (and countless emails) to land, and that’s because today’s super special guest is none other than the famous... CHRIS VOSS, former FBI hostage negotiator and author of the book Never Split the Difference!  He has had a jaw-dropping, movie-worthy career working for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) that spans 24 years. Across this time, he has worked in roles such as the Lead International Kidnapping Negotiator and Hostage Negotiation Representative for the National Security Council’s Hostage Working Group (Yep. We’re also jealous of those titles 😉) But of course, that’s not all! In 2019, he went on to create and narrate The Art of Negotiation Masterclass and is currently the CEO of the Black Swan Group. He also works as adjunct Professor at Harvard Law School, Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business, and as a lecturer at the Marshall School of Business at University of Southern California. Basically, Chris has had a lifetime of experience in resolving crises and high-stake negotiations and today, we get to sit down with him and discover how to use his knowledge to win the property game.   From the #3 tactics Chris uses to gain the upper hand in negotiations to the 3 extremely different and crucial Yes commitments, we’re digging into Chris’s fascinating brain to understand exactly what Tactical Empathy is and why you should NEVER split the difference.  It’s an episode that’s been 4 years in the making and we promise you – it's one that’ll completely enthral you.

The process of building wealth is like operating a bulldozer… What do we mean by that? Well, a bulldozer comes with a few levers that you’ll need to push and pull to make sure that it’s doing what it’s meant to do. Likewise, when it comes to building your property portfolio, there are “Four Foundational Levers” that you’ll need to adjust to achieve your own specific and unique end goal. …And the faster you can adjust each of these levers, the quicker you’ll get to your goal. To put this into perspective… Let’s say you’re building a house. First, you’d start with the number of rooms you need (the floor plan), then its size (the measurements), then the engineering (how it’s going to be built), and, finally, what it’s going to be built from (building materials). Without these things you can’t build the house as you planned to build it, right? Not to mention, if you changed just one of these things you automatically affect the other three. And, yes, the same applies when you’re building wealth. You need ALL four levers and if you adjust one you impact ALL the rest…. So. What are the Four Levers when it comes to building wealth? And why are these so important for a property investor?! Listen now to find out. Don’t forget, you can get further insights and “play along at home” by picking up a FREE physical copy of our book here: http://www.thearmchairguide.com.au/  Here’s a bit of what we cover in today’s episode… The Four Foundational Levers To Financial Peace and How They Work Together How To Use The Four Foundational Levers To Align Your Passive Income Target With Your Current Circumstance How can you PLAN your property portfolio? Why won’t a “Cookie-Cutter” approach cut it? How do you work out how much money you’ll need to retire? When should you start earning that passive income? What’s the difference between discretionary and essential spending? How much do kids cost?! Episodes from The Property Couch to Further Support You… Episode 072 | Dumb things people do with their Money! Episode 295 | How To Reach The Summit: Achieving $2K Per Week in Passive Income – Q&A Episode 200 | Paul Clitheroe – Timeless Wisdom from the Original “Money” Guru  MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP:👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW👉 Web platform:  https://www.moorr.com.au/     FREE MASTERCLASS:- How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >>FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS:- The Armchair Guide to Property Investing- Make Money Simple AgainFIND US HERE:- Website- Instagram- Facebook- Youtube

When it comes to property investment, data is a very valuable tool for making informed decisions. However, looking at single data measures can be dangerous, especially when it comes to something as complex as the housing market. To truly understand affordability and sustainability, we need to consider a range of factors and look at the bigger picture.  Take median house prices, for example. This is a commonly used statistic that can give us a general idea of the state of the housing market. However, by itself, it can be misleading.  Folks, in episode 437, we have the perfect guest to help us unpack all things property data, what to look for and the dangers of looking at single data measures. We sat down with Kent Lardner, one of Australia’s best and most respected property data analysts. Kent has over 30 years' experience in the industry focusing on property data and analytics. We will be diving deep into:  🔣 The Dangers of looking at Single Data Measures  🔣 Looking at Median House Prices as a descriptive statistic 🔣 Affordability – What To Look For 🔣 Are Rent Rises Sustainable? 🔣 Kent’s craft and How it Influences his Decisions  🔣 And of course, unpacking everything going on in the market today  You're in for a massive episode today that’s full of knowledge and insights into what to look for when analysing property data! Tune in now or watch it here >>  LISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >>MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP:👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW👉 Web platform:  https://www.moorr.com.au/     FREE MASTERCLASS:- How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >>FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS:- The Armchair Guide to Property Investing- Make Money Simple AgainFIND US HERE:- Website- Instagram- Facebook- Youtube

Plus, we’re diving into the latest market data which sees the country recording its largest drop in retail spending – ever (outside of COVID).   Zooming out, Ben explores the latest news globally including the big headlines: Global Banks Are Failing Today.

“It was almost considered rude in our family to be talking about how money is generated and how much of it is generated, and where it goes. We were sort of told to mind our own business…” Folks, we’re finishing our 2022 Winter Series on a high with a guest with an amazing tale that shows the undeniable power of changing your mindset to change your life… Today’s special guest – Alex – grew up in a household where discussing money was actually considered….rude :O. And this seed grew into a tree of bad money habits and sadly, fed into his alcoholism.  Expecting to “rent forever” and living cheaply so he could splurge on the weekends, Alex wasn’t thinking about the future, or family, at all...So how has he completely transformed from this state, full of years of traumatic money lessons and spendthrift behaviours, into his new life rich with self-funded travel experiences, financial freedom AND a positive mindset towards money?!Folks this story is so mind-blowingly raw and honest that we just want to give both Alex (and his Mum AND all his pillars of support) a gigantic hug through the soundwaves. Tune in now to learn how planning has allowed Alex to not only change his entire financial story but has helped him to beat his addiction.  So much gold!!!!!  Free Stuff Mentioned… FREE eBook – Make Money Simple Again FREE MyWealth Portal & Start Your Financial Transformation Today!

“I thought investing was for RICH people, and that’s just what it was. It was something a normal person didn’t do, and now our eyes are open – the possibilities are endless really.”  Growing up in a household with a tight budget and parents working double jobs to feed a family of seven, our second Winter Series guest didn’t have a lot of money conversations around the table… In fact, there was none. Born and bred in Dublin, Anthony graduated into a culture where holidays were funded by loans and you spent everything you had, every week….even when he was working 3 jobs.  And he might’ve kept going down this path if not for his significant other – Carly -who thankfully bought him his first investing book, The Barefoot Investor, at age 27.  Over the next decade, Anthony has turned it all around, transforming from a super spendthrift to a seasoned property investor and renovator.  Find out how he made the jump, the practical lessons and behavioural management skills he’s learned along the way and how he’s “paper trading” his way towards investing success. Such an empowering tale folks, listen now for a big dose of motivation.  Free Stuff Mentioned… FREE eBook – Make Money Simple Again FREE MyWealth Portal & Start Your Financial Transformation Today!

As Australia descends into winter, what better way to celebrate the chill than by kicking off our 2022 Winter Series?!  In this special edition series, we’ll be deep-diving into some of our listener’s personal stories, going behind the scenes to share their challenges and triumphs and exploring how they’re successfully investing in property thanks to the power of planning. We’ve got a very special lineup of guests, all with very different money stories but all with 1 thing in common… They’ve each faced and overcome life’s difficulties and “planned to become, what they planned to become”! Basically, we’re uncovering…how folks are creating long-term plans WITH short-term variations! To open our Winter Series, we’ve got a guest with a real “rags to riches” story – beginning as a refugee in the UK… “We were placed in social housing to begin with in a rough neighbourhood with high crime rates. It was not the kind of place you’d say hi to your neighbours. You’d just keep to yourself.”  Ever since she was young, today’s guest was exposed to the importance of money.  Relocating as a refugee from Vietnam, Kim watched her parents start from scratch, working odd jobs to save money, raising a family and eventually buying their own business.  So how did she evolve from her splurging years to owning 2 investment properties with her partner, well on her way to achieving a $180K per year passive income?!  This one’s a must-listen folks – Kim is articulate, funny and relatable as she recounts journeying to Australia with no job lined up, her initial wacky investing ideas and how long-term planning has helped her to find financial success. Thank you for sharing your story with us Kim – we’re honoured to be opening our first Winter Series with you!! Free Stuff Mentioned… Want to find out the #3 biggest secrets for successful property investing?

Let’s face it…  Money is an emotional asset folks. Especially when you realise, you’ll never have “perfect” knowledge before investing… But we think that shouldn’t stop people from investing!  In fact, we think it’s something that everyone should be okay with, especially if you’ve covered your bases! That’s why in today’s episode we’re uncovering:  What these bases are… How to control your emotions around money… Why people fall into an analysis paralysis… And ultimately how you can create the optimal mindset for investing!  But that’s not all – of course – it’s Q&A DAY!!

Queensland has been through A LOT folks.  With the 2022 floods estimated to cost $2.5B in damage and more than 5,000 homes inhabitable, in the words of today’s podcast guest Antonia Mercorella: “We are facing a humanitarian crisis in Queensland”   Together, we’ll be unpacking the housing crisis that Queenslanders are waking up to every day, how this added demand will impact the states ALREADY struggling rental system… AND how REIQ and Q Shelter’s “Help House a Queenslander” campaign can help with the ongoing housing crisis! And if the name Antonia Mercorella sounds familiar to you – we’re proud to say it’s because she’s a returning guest from Episode 280!!  Antonia is not only the Chief Executive Officer at the Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ), but she’s an accomplished CEO and solicitor with more than 20 years of experience across the real estate and property sectors!  But don’t get us wrong – when we say Queensland’s been through a lot, it’s not all bad!  We’ll be unpacking it from the top, starting with the pandemic when Brisbane’s property market was HOT, and exploring what lifestyle drivers push people to move interstate!  And let’s just say that Antonia makes a very convincing case to move to the Sunshine State.

We’re answering the questions above, and more, including debunking the “too old to invest” mentality that many people fall into, why it doesn’t work and how it leads to unfortunate statics, like how 73% of all Aussie property investors stop at one property, and 91% stop at 2!Folks, we need to change this statistic which is why we’re exploring what our question-asker (and you) can do to avoid self-limiting action.  Bryce also lists some great examples of people who’ve only found success later in life; listen in if you need some inspiration.  PLUS, how you can use Capital Gains Tax (CGT) to best benefit you!  Yep.

“You wanna be the janitor”This is probably the first time we’ve ever had a guest over where money conversations were not only discussed at the dinner table but… it was a hot topic any time of the day!For very good reason too!Marina, our special guest today had an awareness towards money and investment at a very early age.In fact, when others were playing Monopoly, Marina was playing Robert Kiyosaki’s cashflow game (Quick tip: It seems… being a janitor in the cashflow game has the highest chance of winning it ).She had a full grasp on the concept of debt – tolerable, horrible and productive – a long time before she discovered The Property Couch and she also started investing in property at the tender age of 19.So…Where did that drive come from?How did she develop a can-do attitude?What are some life lessons she learned along the way?And which of our fundamentals gave her a boost?Folks… We seriously can’t describe how uplifting her story is and there is much to learn from this episode so let’s jump into it now!Free Stuff MentionedFREE eBook – Make Money Simple AgainFree Book – The Armchair Guide to Property InvestingFREE MyWealth Portal & Start Your Financial Transformation Today!

The reason why money is such a taboo subject… is because of fear.When Ricky was a kid, money was an issue.Growing up in a family of 7, our special guest today confessed that there was unhealthy money education very early on. Although it didn’t feel like he missed a thing and his parents made sure him and his four brothers got everything they needed…He was still able to sense some tension in the family.You see, today’s guest grew up where credit cards and personal loans were the norm and he saw the effect of that chipping away on his parents’ relationships.And unfortunately…. those bad habits stuck to him. To the point that the day he turned 18 and was eligible to get a credit card, he got one. (And you wouldn’t believe what he got right away too!)Luckily, he met the love of his life who had great money senses and that managed to counter his bad habits…Life was going great until one fateful night at work initiated a very serious spiral into a mental health crisis – PTSD, acute anxiety and acute depression.All during COVID.Find out how Ricky managed to turn all this around and prove that whatever life throws at you, a passion to get better, perseverance and a hunger to learn will make sure you overcome this. Free Stuff MentionedFREE eBook – Make Money Simple AgainFREE MyWealth Portal & Start Your Financial Transformation Today!

Imagine this…You found your ideal property in the perfect location. You’ve inspected it, you know exactly what the purchase price is going to be AND you’re pre-approved for that budget. You’ve spoken to the selling agent and is crystal clear with the vendor’s motivation. You negotiated some terms and put your best offer forward and BAM!! it got accepted right away. Happy days!Unfortunately, it’s probably NOT going to happen in the current market.When it comes to property prices, getting it exactly right would be perfect for buyers. But in a hot market, it’s very very hard for most buyers to nail it right away. Unless of course you’ve got a lot of spare time in your hand or you’ve engaged a professional to help you out. In today’s episode, we will share the XYZ of property pricing that our own buyer’s agent team are practicing and some of the tips that you can implement right away to get as close to the selling price as possible.But… are you wondering if it’ll work in the current market and with all these new ways of transacting?On top of that, with lockdown restrictions, how are you going to inspect properties and if you can’t, should you buy sight unseen?That’s exactly what we are going to unpack today.PLUS Bryce and Ben will also be addressing the big old Fixed Rate vs Variable Rate question.

In light of last week’s episode, the Queensland Government has reached out to The Real Estate Insitute of Queensland (REIQ) to collaborate on a package that ensures protection for EVERYONE… ie. tenants AND landlords!! Antonia will fill you in on all the amendments to the proposed Rental Relief Package, what this means for landlords and tenants, and exactly HOW the reversal of this initial “Shocker” of a policy came about! You can learn more about QLD Rental Relief Package here: https://www.covid19.qld.gov.au/the-hubThe amendments to the proposed Rental Relief Package include: Rent payments and unpaid rent: Property owners and tenants can now agree on the terms of reduced rent and deferred repayment requirements. Financial hardship requirements: The combined income of tenant/s must have reduced by more than 25% as a direct result of COVID-19 or where the rent amount exceeds 30% of income/s and tenant/s cannot afford to pay the rent. Substantiation of financial hardship: Tenants must provide the same level of proof of income as is required at the start of the tenancy to seek a rent reduction. Entry requirements: The Government will provide clear guidance to ensure access for essential repairs and maintenance, the sale of a property and virtual inspections. Break lease: To qualify for the Government’s break lease provisions, tenant/s must be in severe financial hardship which is defined as a 75% reduction in combined tenant/s income and have less than $5,000 in savings. Extension of a tenancy: A fixed term tenancy will be automatically extended to 30 September 2020 unless agreed otherwise. You can learn more about QLD Rental Relief Package here: https://www.covid19.qld.gov.au/the-hub Free ResourcesSupport REIQ Here (it’ll literally take you 1 minute)Become A PICA MemberLISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >>MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform:  https://www.moorr.com.au/     FREE MASTERCLASS: - How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >>FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple AgainFIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube

Leanne Pilkington is no stranger to real estate. When she first started in the property industry almost four decades ago, things looked a bit different from what they do now…For one, she was literally fired from her job every Friday afternoon! And now? Well, today’s guest is the PRESIDENT of Real Estate Institute of New South Wales (REINSW) — the largest and most influential association of real estate professionals in the country’s biggest property market!Sure, Leanne Pilkinton is one of the most respected and sought-after commentators in real estate and a strong advocate for women in the profession, lobbying for improved education and training across the entire industry… but she’s also the Managing Director of leading NSW boutique real estate group Laing+Simmons.And she knows the market inside and out!Obviously, with everything COVID-19 going on, it’s safe to say that Leanne is VERY MUCH in the trenches, lobbying the government and looking at new ways the real estate industry can adapt to this climate while also being really honest about the fact that quickly formed legislation can have a disastrous impact on real estate agents, property managers and landlords.This is a passionate and knowledge-sponge of an episode, folks!!The Free StuffDOWNLOAD PDF: Claiming Tenancy HardshipJOIN PICA: $5 for 1 Year or $20 for 5 YearsLISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >>MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform:  https://www.moorr.com.au/     FREE MASTERCLASS: - How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >>FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple AgainFIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube 

Yes, we’ve got TWO back-to-back episodes this week! ‘Cos let’s face it… there’s been A LOT that has disturbed the property industry over the week!Case in point: Easter.Oh, Easter. The break that had a lot of us biting our nails, not biting into chocolate eggs… and a lot of folks didn’t even KNOW it almost ended in disaster for property owners!Thankfully, common sense prevailed – and today’s guest had a great deal to do with bringing that levelheadedness back to the table.Joining us today is none other than Leah Calnan, President of the Real Estate Institute of Victoria (REIV), the peak body of real estate down here in VIC.And she has a wealth of experience to bring to the discussion – not only has she got over 24 years’ experience in property management… and is the Director of Metro Property Management & Metro Property Sales… but also, she’s recently taken over as President of REIV (back in October last year) after being on their Board of Directors since 2014.So, when some crazy policy was announced regarding Victoria’s COVID-19 Rent Relief Package… well, let’s just say Leah spent her Easter break fighting hard for all of us….Free Resources MentionedBecome a REIV Member hereJoin PICA HEREEpisode 280 | QLD Govt Shocker: New “Renter Protection Package” Not So Protective…Chat with Antonia MercorellaLISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >>MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform:  https://www.moorr.com.au/     FREE MASTERCLASS: - How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >>FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple AgainFIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube

There’s no doubt governments are “regulating on the run” with the current crisis on our hands. Coronavirus demands quick action… but, wow, the Queensland Government’s new “Renter Protection Package” is a SHOCKER.What’s being proposed is, ahh, let’s just say, out of step with the rest of the country and, quite frankly, seems to ignore the COVID-19 stimulus package already on offer… and leaves us landlords particularly vulnerable, especially if we have a property up in the sunny state. And we CAN’T HAVE this shocking, poorly formed policy to seep across the borders and infiltrate into other states… because it would end badly.Here to talk about these proposed amendments to the tenancy legislation (and why they’re slanted very much in favour of the tenant and can potentially damage the property industry… aka, a complete shocker!) is Antonia Mercorella, CEO of the Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ).To give you an idea folks – REIQ is Queensland’s peak body in real estate, and Antonia, as well as being a solicitor, has over 16 years’ experience in the real estate and property sectors! And once you hear her passion and unshakable knowledge about her craft, you’ll quickly know why she’s been identified as one of the 20 most influential people in Queensland real estate!And, of course, you’ll hear EXACTLY what the QLD Government has proposed in their new “Renter Protection Package” and why it’s a total doozy!!Be Heard Before 22 April 2020 — EVERYONE MATTERSCLICK HERE To Support REIQ BEFORE These Proposed Changes Are In (it literally takes 1-minute folks!)Free ResourcesSupport REIQ Here (it’ll literally take you 1 minute)Become A PICA MemberLISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >>MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform:  https://www.moorr.com.au/     FREE MASTERCLASS: - How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >>FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple AgainFIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube

Just a quick update folks! There’s been some changes since we released today’s episode. The Queensland government had set up a grant program that offers an emergency rental assistance payment of up to $500 a week, for up to four weeks, for Queenslanders who cannot make rent.

“Landlords vs Tenants.” Has this become the Unspoken Virus as the current pandemic escalates and more folks lose their jobs, fall into financial distress and struggle to pay rent? Well, to answer this question, let’s talk about the myths and misinformation out there. Because we want to set the record straight in order to help BOTH landlords and tenants navigate what is a difficult time for all of us. Because, YES, there are a whole lot of folks out there who are doing it really tough right now… and we by no means want to understate this. We understand the severity of the situation. And we understand that there is NO “landlord vs. tenant” argument — because, realistically, there are no winners in this. Equally, we also know that the majority of investors only have ONE investment property and only the minority out there are super cash-flushed. Most of us are everyday Australians simply trying to self-fund…  So, in this episode, we want to share some ideas of what we think both the Federal AND State and Territory Governments need to do in order to step up and help all of us who are affected here. Again, WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER… and it’s wise we take a look at both sides of the equation… for Landlords AND Tenants.

If you’ve seen the headlines recently, you would notice these:ASX finishes worst week in more than 11 yearsDow drops more than 900 points, ending worst week since 2008And then yesterday night, for those who’re active with the share market news, you’d probably notice this:Dow future surge 900 points — hit ‘limit up’ — on optimism a coronavirus rescue bill is closeJapan stocks jump 7% as Fed ramps up stimulus measuresIt’s not a surprise to anyone how volatile the share market is and especially so in uncertain times like this.Shares are a fascinating investment class and people asked us about it all the time. Usually, the questions are always around Property vs. Shares and we would say, it depends on your risk appetite. There’s no right or wrong and you don’t have to choose either one. Your portfolio can be a combination of both property and share.But this time, people asked us a slightly different question…COVID-19 and Share Market.We totally get it.

There’s no doubt that every one of us is impacted by COVID-19 — the coronavirus pandemic — that’s practically everywhere right now.So, today’s episode is all about navigating the uncertainty of COVID-19 and lifting our eyes so we can see the bigger picture BEYOND the short-term contagion — and the social contagion — that’s currently going on.Our message remains the same as our first episode on the coronavirus — to spread calm and connection right now. If you’re cashflows allow and your job security is there… NOW just might be one of the best times to act!Now, we’re by no means belittling what’s going on here…. However, it’s our job to turn to the data and face the facts so we can give you a realistic look at the property market.Because here’s the deal… the anxiety and panic we’re seeing in our supermarkets are NOT what we’re seeing on the grounds in the property market!To highlight this, we’re doing something we’ve never done on the show before… we’re giving you a behind-the-scenes look into our “Inner Sanctum” — that is, the most recent meeting with our team of Buyers Agents who are currently out there buying investment properties. So you get to be a “fly on the wall” as they explain what they’re witnessing in the property market… and WHY.Because, yes… there IS a lot of outside contagion going on. The economy IS being affected at this time. There IS uncertainty and fear going on. And we’ve never really seen something like what we’re witnessing right now. But there’s a VERY positive news story here for a handful of folk who are planned, informed and ready to act… an opportunity that, well, doesn’t come around too often…Free Resources MentionedMake Money Simple Again – Free eBookEpisode 275 | 7 Grades of Financial Wellbeing – Which one are you?“Story State Strategy” – Jaemin FrazerLISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >>MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform:  https://www.moorr.com.au/     FREE MASTERCLASS: - How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >>FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple AgainFIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube

Where do you sit on the ladder of financial success?In this episode, we’re unpacking a brand-new framework that outlines the seven grades of financial well-being… so you can self-assess your financial health in a way you’ve never been able to do before!Here’s the deal, folks... There’s actually nothing out there like this. ‘Cos what we’re about to discuss is the overarching framework of ALL the frameworks we’ve ever gone through over the last five years.It goes something like this…There’s a GRADING SYSTEM where you can work out exactly where you are on the ladder of financial success… and each grade – or level – has ACTION STEPS, including a “milestone move”, that will move you either up or down this ladder. Obviously, the idea is to move UP a grade and you do this through incremental habits and mindset shifts that will lift you up through each grade… all the way to the “wow” Pinnacle! Need an image to grasp this concept? Think of the Karate belts – you start with a white belt and the “best of the best” is the black belt, right? But from white to black there’s a whole bunch of colours in between that show what grade you’re in. And so, just like these karate belts, financial success has a very similar way to reveal where you’re REALLY at. White, Yellow, Orange, Green, etc, etc… Pretty cool, right?So, essentially, this epic framework is the Yellow Brick Road that paves the way to get to Oz. Or climb out of its opposite if you happen to be stuck in undesirable grades.So… where do you reckon you sit? What colour’s your karate belt on financial well-being?Let’s find, out shall we?Free Resources Mentioned:FCA – financialcounsellingaustralia.org.auBeyond Blue – beyondblue.org.auMoney FIT – thepropertycouch.com.au/financialpeaceMake Money Simple Again (Free eBook)– makemoneysimpleagain.com.au7 Grades of Financial Wellbeing – Take this free Quiz to get the free report!LISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >>MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform:  https://www.moorr.com.au/     FREE MASTERCLASS: - How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >>FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple AgainFIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube

With the Coronavirus outbreak spreading across the globe and impacting the economy, it begs the question… Is buying property right now still a good idea?Because when widespread contagions like the Coronavirus break out, they snowball into something else that’s also highly contagious… irrational human behaviour. So, our intention with this special episode is to separate facts from fiction so we stay informed about what’s really going on here without exasperating the issue until we have a crisis of confidence on our hands.While we’re 100% NOT health experts, we’ve taken some very useful snippets from a recent ABC’s 7.30pm program, so you can hear from those who are experts on infectious diseases. They will give you a clear look at the Coronavirus, explaining in detail how it’s spread, who’s most at risk, what you can do to protect yourself and – perhaps most importantly – give you a realistic look at the numbers.We have a few tidbits to add on the property side, incl. the Coronavirus’s potential impact on property prices and who should be mindful of taking out a home loan during this time.Basically, for the majority of folk, it will be this… go full steam ahead. Don’t stop what you’re doing. Don’t be irrational. Just keep calm and carry on…Psst… in case you’re wondering, we’re talking about our epic New Framework NEXT WEEK!!! Free Resources Mentioned7.30 Report: Coronavirus SpecialFACEBOOK LIVE with Nerida Conisbee: This Fast Food Chain Impacts Property Prices… PLUS The Coronavirus’s Impact On The EconomyBEN’S RBA Announcement: RBA March 2020 – The Coronavirus Spreads Right Across The EconomyEpisode 273 | Calling out the Bad Guys – How we Found our Voice & Our Top 5 Frameworks to Defend Against Bad AdviceFACEBOOK LIVE: The Top Frameworks & How They Work TogetherFREE REPORT: Our Top 5 Frameworks for Property InvestorsLISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >>MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform:  https://www.moorr.com.au/     FREE MASTERCLASS: - How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >>FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple AgainFIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube

It’s the first Tuesday of the month which means the RBA Board has met and announced the official cash rate! And to no surprise, they’ve decided to cut it by 25 basis points to 0.5%. Now, this commentary features Ben’s update on the cash rate as well as the biggest impact on the data this month…“COVID-19”, aka… The Coronavirus!As you’re probably aware, the coronavirus has NOT slowed… in fact, it’s definitely leaving its mark on the economy… globally, as well as here in Australia. To give you an idea… last week alone, six trillion dollars was wiped off the world’s stock markets! Six trillion.

The property industry is unregulated. What this means is that there are more than a few Bad Guys – and not just the sharks in white shoes – out there who slither under the radar and sell dodgy advice that, quite frankly, moves their wealth position and not yours.This is what keeps us showing up every Thursday. This is what started this podcast in the first place. And if you’ve been with us for a while, you’ll already know that The Property Couch is “the people’s podcast” – we’re on a crusade to even the playing field between sly property spruikers and everyday folks who simply want to move the dial on their financial position and create a better life for themselves.So today – to mark our FIFTH BIRTHDAY! – we’re going out on a limb and doing something a bit different…So in this episode, we’re going to give you a look into what life was like for us BEFORE we started The Property Couch and what pushed us over the edge to start educating folks about how this industry really operates. You’ll get the backstory into how we found our voice, what we did to make sure people heard us and why we care so much about all this property, finance and money management stuff in the first place!And because our folks have kindly given us the airtime and a reason to show up for the last five years — a quick shout out to ALL of you and a HUGE thank you for your titan-strength support over the years – we’re going to unpack what we’ve learnt from doing the podcast itself, the topics we cover and, most importantly, the FRAMEWORKS we share with you!

How many times have you heard something along these lines…?“This suburb’s a growth corridor…”“There’s heaps of development happening here… it’s the next growth corridor.”“With all the new public transport networks, job opportunities and shops coming in, this place is absolutely a growth corridor… full of investment potential.”With all this buzzword talk, it’s would appear that all us property investors need to do is hunt down the next “growth corridor”, invest in it before it really kicks off, and then sit pretty for the rest of our lives …BUT. Folks, there is a massive problem with this! An unspoken truth about growth corridors that trips up a lot of investors out there.

Put your hand up if you want to fast-track to the day when you can choose whether to go to work or not? Okay. Hands down. Most folks — probably early morning on a Monday when the alarm goes off — have thought it’d be nice to have the option to roll back over… or simply get out of bed and have the whole day to do whatever you want, without worrying about where the money’s going to come from.So that’s why today’s guest is gamifying the race to retirement — that is: she’s turning money management into a game… a fun competition where she and her partner are trying to beat how much surplus they can trap… and how fast they can race to retirement!BUT, as all “real life” stories go, this one’s a bit more layered than that. In fact, it’s WAY more layered….Because, for one thing, Athena Anca — the FINAL “everyday investor” who has put their knowledge into action and is tying up our 2019-2018 Summer Series — wasn’t always like this.What’s most interesting is Athena actually used to SELL House & Land Packages! … And she and her partner Jason BOUGHT one as their first property!! Sure, now they’re investing in granny flats and planning for their dream home with a garage full of supercars, BUT…….Guess what??? This actually isn’t the first time Athena’s been on The Property Couch!

When James McLellan was a kid, money was an issue. To the point that it ultimately resulted in his parent’s separation.You see, today’s guest grew up in a small country town of about 1,200 people — and ever since he can remember, money was a stressor. To make matters worse, his mum tried her hand at investing, choosing to self-manage her property, which unfortunately was tenanted by folks who had money problems of their own. The result? Even more pressure on the family finances. So not only was money tough, but also James was left believing that property investing was something to fear…But wanting to overcome his money back story, James made it his mission to work hard — committing to his first job at just 13 years old where he cleaned out the diesel pits at a mechanic for $5 an hour every Saturday morning.And even though he was scared of investing, he knew that if he wanted to move the dial on his own wealth, he’d have to take the plunge. So he kept working worked hard, and at 22, while still at uni, he saved enough for his first property…. A 2 bedroom unit in Albury-Wodonga for $170,000…And now? Well, as well as having THREE properties to his name and overcoming his fear of property investing, as you’re about to hear, he’s walking proof that just because you come from a background where money was tough… it doesn’t mean you’re stuck for life! And James was able to show once and for all that this can be accomplished…  even at 29 years old!Free Resources:FREE BOOK!

“I needed to set something up so it’s essentially on autopilot and I’m protected from myself.”Brendan Gale and his partner Marrissa have an unusual way of running our Money SMARTS system that we think is pretty cool. At first, this unorthodox twist made us go “Woah, what?!” and we kinda struggled to wrap our heads around it (we’re old school, folks)! But as you’re about to hear…. this surprise twist to the Money SMARTS system STILL works… and they’re trapping more surplus than ever before (just like they would if they were running it our ol’ simple way.)Even better? Since running their “version” of Money SMARTS, they were able to….Afford their dream wedding in the Greek Islands (yep! Not a cheap affair folks — and there’s a bit of story about an unexpected cost that came up here, eek!)Invest in propertyAnd still have their own cash to spend!!And the craziest thing is of all??

“Your eyes are over every cent.” Before we switched on the microphones, TPC listener Keren White wasn’t sure if she’d have anything ‘worthwhile’ to share. But just like every other guest in our Summer Series, her real-life experience with the fundamentals we’ve been teaching is nothing short of extraordinary! So when we hit go on record, she absolutely kicked into second gear and held nothing back… which means you’re about to be in for a ‘Wow, really?!’ ride…Here’s her story in nutshell…  Keren is the coal face of someone who has adopted our Money SMARTS system… but unlike most folk, what instigated the need to switch from a typical budget to our rules-based system was a bit different.You see, prior to the change, Keren and her husband Terence’s life — and indeed their money habits — took more of a ‘go with the flow approach. So, while they were able to get some savings together when they wanted to and never ventured into credit card debt territory, they almost always struggled to stick to their budget. Lifestyle and perhaps ‘living just for now’’ took precedence. For example, if they wanted a holiday… they took a holiday. If there was emergency cash sitting in their ‘car’ account — just one of the many open — but say the car was running fine… well, then that was extra play money for the holiday, right?!They weren’t stretched. They were doing kinda fine, really. Sure, there wasn’t much put aside for tomorrow, but their money situation wasn’t too bad in the scheme of things…But then something happened. The Wake-Up Call. It was a hard blow that finally demanded Keren and Terence start prioritising their future….Free Resources MentionedYour FREE Book (free for a limited-time): http://makemoneysimpleagain.com.auBonusisode – Are You Money Fit?Episode 191 | Seven Steps to Make Money Simple AgainFacebook Group for Money SMARTS UserLISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >>MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform:  https://www.moorr.com.au/     FREE MASTERCLASS: - How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >>FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple AgainFIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube

It was mid-2017 when David List and his wife, Lisa, decided to purchase their first investment property. But a few days into the settlement, and feeling a bit of buyer’s remorse, David did a quick Google stalk to see what else he should probably know about investing… and that’s when he stumbled upon these two middle-aged larrikins riffing about property, finance and money management!!From there, we’d like to think it became an immediate love story with The Property Couch… but, truth be told, that day we completely overwhelmed him, making David feel like there’s way more to “all this” than he first realised.Thankfully, somewhere along the line, we must’ve said something that made sense because he quickly got all in gold in the first twenty episodes, which got him up to speed on the fundamentals we’re all about. And one of those fundamentals — one of our Four Pillars of Mastery — was, of course, Cash Flow Management.This set fire to a whole new David and has transformed him into one of the BEST money managers we’ve ever seen!Free Resources Mentioned:Episode 117 | Everything You Need To Know About Depreciation Changes – Chat with Bradley Beer, CEO of BMT Tax Depreciation: https://thepropertycouch.com.au/ep117-depreciation-changes-bradley-beer/Episode 257 | The Exception To The Rule When It Comes To Off The Plan Properties & House And Land Packages: https://thepropertycouch.com.au/ep257-off-the-plan-properties/Episode 258 | WARNING: The Unconscious Mental Triggers Property Spruikers Use To Trick You: https://thepropertycouch.com.au/ep258-property-spruikers/MMMSA (FREE Book): www.MakeMoneySimpleAgain.com.auLISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >>MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform:  https://www.moorr.com.au/     FREE MASTERCLASS: - How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >>FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple AgainFIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube

When he bought his first investment property, Joey D’Agata was too nervous to do his own bidding. But, flash forward four years, and he’s now self-built a high-income producing portfolio consisting of SIX properties. And, even more impressive… he’s only 26!!So folks… how on earth did Joey make this happen for himself? Especially considering the fact that when he first started saving, he was earning less than $50,000 a year and was seriously concerned that someone in their twenties wouldn’t be able to afford to buy a SINGLE property, let alone go ahead and invest in six of them.So, the multi-million dollar question is… how’d he do it?Well, this is where the $4,000 comes in…..… Keep in mind, there’s a bit more of a back story here, which we’re unpacking in this episode, but here’s the quick overview: Joey “embraced” Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI).Now, when it comes to Lenders Mortgage Insurance, we always say… “Avoid it when you can, but embrace it when you have to.”Why??? … well, that $4,000 cost went on to put Joey in a position where he could buy another FIVE properties. Your Free ResourcesFREE BOOK (Physical copy) – The Armchair Guide to Property InvestingFREE BOOK (PDF version) – Make Money Simple AgainEpisode 242 | Proof That You Can Get on the Property Ladder AND Invest in Property in Your 20s – Chat with Courtney Te’rayEpisode 097 | Q&A – Mechanics of LMI, Purchasing Foreclosed Property, Stretching Your Investing Budget and moreTPC Binge Guide – The Best Bits From The First Twenty EpisodesLISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >>MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform:  https://www.moorr.com.au/     FREE MASTERCLASS: - How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >>FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple AgainFIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube

“80% of winning is beginning”When Gabby first invested in property, she lost her nerve and pulled the pin early … she sold everything.

The cash rate in Australia has never been lower and most mortgage holders are paying a lot less on their loans than they were a year ago.

Property investors who get seduced into Off the Plan and house and land packages are often seduced through a marketing process that targets universal, emotionally-driven mental triggers.And after heaps of folks wrote in about last week’s episode where we spoke of the perils of investing in these types of properties, we’ve decided that today we’re going to lift the lid on what exactly these mental triggers are. So people can spot the spruiker from miles away! Because there’s a VERY big difference between marketing for marketing’s sake… and simply being sold into buying dodgy advice & dud properties.Full disclosure: you will notice that some of these we actually do ourselves… and, yes, we’re being very explicit in this. The reason why we use them is simple… these tactics get people to take action. But getting people to take action on something that will ultimately help them… versus taking advantage of human psychology so people buy an asset or invest in bad advice that only the Spruiker will profit from…... well…… it’s about time we even the playing field here, don’t you think?And folks… Property Spruikers do NOT want you to know this stuff.

If building a multi-million dollar property portfolio really only takes three or four properties …then why do most folk FAIL to buy one?If only three or four properties — maybe five, if you’ve got a shorter time frame — is all it takes to achieve a passive income for life, why aren’t most investors achieving their dream lifestyle and financial goals then?Why haven’t they got a successful multi-million dollar property portfolio???Well, Ben and I nutted out these SEVEN reasons why this is so.

Recently, ABC’s podcast The Money ran a very poignant episode on the financial risks of unregulated property investment advice (which we highly recommend you check out – details below folks)… which revealed the pitfalls of buying Off The Plan properties and getting snagged on the end of “one-stop-shop” spruiker seminars.As well as interviewing two unlucky folks who learnt about investing in Off The Plan in the worst way possible, the episode also features a property ” salesperson” … and the look from the other side… is… well… let’s just say we’ve got something to say about it!‘Cos as you know folks, we hold a VERY strong view on these types of investments — and we’ve been very vocal about this since we first started croaking out this podcast — so why then … would we have an “an exception to the rule”???Well… that’s where today’s episode comes in! ‘cos if you’re going to go there…..

Some investors learn things the hard way. And today’s guest Rick Hockey — property investor AND real estate agent specialising in The Pilbara region in far north Western Australia — is, unfortunately, one of these folks.In this episode, you’re about to get a completely raw look at what it was like to be INSIDE the mining boom that hung a lot of property investors out to dry. And you’re going to hear it from someone who was right in the thick of it, and did TWO things during this time…(1) INVESTED in the WA property boom, and(2) SOLD REAL ESTATE before, during and after the boom!Back in 1980, Rick Hockey and his wife Bev made Port Hedland, a dusty but dynamic little town exporting some seriously big volumes of minerals all over the world… their home. And things were good especially when Rick made the shift to working in real estate and then the mining scene boomed to deliver some of the highest rental returns we’ve ever seen — and people from all walks of life were practically climbing over each other to call a basic 4 bedroom house in regional Western Australia theirs. And why was everyone keen to jump in? Well, that simple property in the middle of not-a-whole-lot would put $3,000 PER WEEK in their bank and everyone thought the mining boom and these crazy returns would never end.But then the huge orange trucks stopped turning up. And almost overnight, it seemed all of the tradies with their fat wallets did too. The price of iron ore plummeted.

We all love questioning what the future holds and speculating on what’s in store for us. And, of course, investing in property is no different. But the thing is… is it helpful to put all that emphasis on the things we can’t control?See, today’s episode is all about looking through the lens of this quote by Amazon Founder and one of the richest men in the world, Jeff Bezos…“I very frequently get the question, ‘What’s going to change in the next 10 years?’ And that is a very interesting question; it’s a very common one. I almost never get the question: ‘What’s not going to change in the next 10 years?’ And I submit to you that that second question is actually the more important of the two — because you can build a business strategy around the things that are stable in time.” Jeff Bezos, Amazon Founder Folks, when we ask ourselves “What’s NOT Going to Change in Property Investing?” we are actually asking ourselves a higher-quality question. And this higher quality question not only helps us to see things more clearly and make smart chess moves but also, empowers us to remain the ones in charge despite what future changes occur.So… what’s always gonna be the same in property a decade from now? Or 20 years from now? Or 40? What are the things that’ll always influence property prices?Well, tune in folks… and we’ll tell you exactly what’s NOT going to change in property investing!Free Stuff Mentioned…WATCH VIDEO: The #1 Mistake Homeowners Make Turning Their Home Into An Investment PropertyGET YOUR FREE BOOK: Make Money Simple AgainInside Bill’s Brain: Decoding Bill GatesGame of Property InvestingLISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >>MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform:  https://www.moorr.com.au/     FREE MASTERCLASS: - How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >>FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple AgainFIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube

There are ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-EIGHT CHANGES to Victoria’s rental laws coming into effect next year… and we think these are about to set the precedence for legislation across the entire country.This means… landlords need to be clued in on their rights and what’s going to be expected moving forward — and frankly folks… we think the pendulum has swung slightly too far, and is now quite in favour of tenants. So, what do “Residential Rental Providers” — which, by the way, is what Landlords are about to be called — need to know BEFORE these changes kick in??Here to fill us in on everything in this pretty epic episode, is Hayley Mitchell, Director of Geelong Property Managers and Director and Trainer of Mitchell PT, which provides training and consulting in the property management industry. Plus, she’s also a fully licensed Real Estate Agent and has worked in property management since 1999.And here’s where it gets super important…Hayley has actually gone through the ENTIRE 500-page Residential Tenancies Amendment Bill with a fine-tooth comb.And not only is this impressive… but also, it’s actually incredibly helpful for us landlords — or wanna-be landlords, or even the tenants amongst us!Let’s find out what on earth is going on and how exactly these changes to legislation affect us!And just a bit of a disclaimer folks: this is Hayley’s interpretation of how these changes will impact landlords and as such should not be taken to represent advice in any way.

APRA has recently made changes that affect a lender’s borrowing power — what does this mean for property investors and homeowners… and their interest rates?Well, folks… we’re deep diving on this today (and getting a little bit technical), because, in July 2019, the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) came out with their revisions to the “buffer” and “floor rates” of their Prudential Practice Guide APG 223.And why are we telling you this? In a nutshell: this results in a change, potentially an increase, in a lender’s borrowing power… which means YOU can potentially borrow more money!!! (Not sure why this is a good thing. Listen to this episode on the basics of borrowing power first).Now, if you’re wondering what on earth we mean by “buffer, “floor rates” and “potentially”… take it easy… we’ve totally got you covered here — we explain all this, incl. examples of a single person AND a couple, so you can get a “real life” angle on all this.

Let’s face it. There are a lot of millennials and first-home buyers among us who are frustrated and struggling to get onto the property ladder. And we don’t blame them!It’s hard work hauling yourself up on that first rung… and it can seriously knock you around, especially if your friends are out “brunching” and you’re choosing to stay home again and… save more money.Are we right? Believe us… we feel ya, folks! If you’re just starting out, oftentimes it can seem like you’re making snail-pace progress, so much so that it becomes all-too-easy to believe there’s zero point to your efforts at all. So, guess what?? We’ve got your back… ‘cos you’re actually NOT alone and, as a matter of fact, it pays to check in with someone you can relate to who has been exactly where you are, has seen success and can help you get over the line.That’s why we’ve got Courtney Te’ray on The Couch today!!And at 28, it would be easy to confuse Courtney as a stereotypical millennial — you know, “smashed avo”… “living in the now”… and “delayed gratification” a WORLD away — BUT in actual fact… Courtney is ANYTHING BUT this….She and her partner Aaron have been slowly chipping at their own property portfolio and putting it into practice“If it’s meant to be… it’s up to be”. And the thing you might find a lot of comfort in, is they’ve invested in property on ordinary incomes — to give you an idea, Courtney has NEVER earned more than $60K while building up this Property Portfolio… Impressive, right?!

75% of economists predicted another rate drop… Are they right?… or wrong?As mentioned previously, unemployment and wage growth is a priority for the RBA and despite last month’s cut, there wasn’t a lot of movement found in these two economic indicators.So the RBA Board has decided to drop another 25 basis points bringing the cash rate to 1%.

Folks, you’ve heard us say it before and we’ll say it again… “The State of Your Wallet affects the State of Your Mind”…… and this isn’t just a telling quote we throw around willy-nilly… it’s very real and is, in fact, evidence-backed. The truth is this… money worries and mental health are DEEPLY entwined. If you’ve got financial stress then, chances are, you probably feel like your whole life is out of whack… and this can seriously interfere with your mood, mindset and overall health!So today we’ve managed to rope in a very special expert who’s dedicated his professional life to mental health matters and suicide prevention — John Mendoza Director of ConNetica.As well as shining a light on the connection between financial problems and mental health issues, John’s career has included several senior executive positions, such as the inaugural Chair of the Australian Government’s National Advisory Council on Mental Health, the CEO of the Mental Health Council of Australia and CEO of The Commonwealth Statutory Authority, the Australian Sports Drug Agency.Folks, if you’re wondering, “Why the switch to mental health?” or “Where does property investing fit in here?” or “Why so serious?”We’ll be completely honest… while not related at a tactical level to property, finance and money management… this IS related at a strategic level — ‘cos no matter if you’re building wealth, or just trying to stay afloat and living paycheck to paycheck, or drowning in debt… or anywhere else on the financial spectrum… you’re NOT immune to this reality.Here are the Free Resources mentioned in today’s episode…Ben’s video on rats behaviour: Watch hereAct-Belong-Commit: https://www.actbelongcommit.org.au/“Chats for Life” App: https://au.reachout.com/tools-and-apps/chats-for-lifeP.S.

Folks, we’re up and about today!Because not only is our dear friend Effie Zahos… aka the Money Queen… finally back on the Couch with us (It was WAAAY back in Episode 105 that we last checked in with her)… there’s also been a bit of a rate movement this week… the first in nearly 3 years! (Well, that, and our footy teams’ played each other on the weekend and Bryce came out on top of ol’ mate Kingsley!!)What this rate movement means is a little more money in the bank for mortgage owners, which, especially when coupled with today’s episode that’s jam-packed full of Money Hacks, means that there’s a bit of extra money on the table that you can put to work for you. Of course, it does also mean that the Australian economy isn’t performing as well as the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) had hoped, and ultimately there’s a LOT to be said about this decision. So, Ben has created a video on the June RBA Cash Rate Drop, which goes into detail about all this. You can check out the new rate announcement here.But back to the wonderful, wise and VERY money-savvy guest who’s joined us today…!It’ll probably come as no surprise to you who the Money Queen is… but we’ll take no chances… and remove all doubt as to who Effie Zahos is!!! She is indeed the “Money” Queen… as in Money Magazine‘s finance editor for over 22 years! Well, we should say WAS the editor cos up until very recently, Effie decided to hang up her Money boots and walk in her own shoes instead… and she’s JUST released a brand new book, A Real Girl’s Guide to Money: From Converse to Louboutins!!And today she’s sharing her best Money Hacks and financial tips so that you can stay on track of your hard-earned cash and make sure you have enough in retirement!And, yep, if you hadn’t put two and two together yet… Effie’s personally worked alongside the likes of the Original Money Guru, Paul Clitheroe — our 200th episode’s very special guest — for a couple of, ahh, DECADES.So you’re in VERY safe hands!LISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >>MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform:  https://www.moorr.com.au/     FREE MASTERCLASS: - How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >>FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple AgainFIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube

So… no surprises here folks. We’ve got a rate cut!Phillip Lowe already indicated RBA’s decision to cut the cash rate two weeks ago in his Address to the Economic Society of Australia.Nonetheless, we are still excited to share that the cash rate is now at 1.25%.AND there are heaps to unpack today folks and is probably the longest RBA Commentary that Ben has ever done.

Well, well, well…. Have we hit the bottom of the market folks???In the shadows of the election — aka the Coalition’s surprise victory — it appears that confidence has returned to the property market!And now the crystal ball question — “When’s the bottom of the property market happening?” may not be as cryptic (or as distant from us!!) as we first thought!So.

Have you ever wanted to know how the changes to negative gearing will affect YOU???Because folks, let’s face it… Labor’s policy to turn the lights out on negative gearing isn’t just going to affect the property market and potentially the ENTIRE Australian economy… the policy IS going to impact property investors, whether we like it or not.So we want you to be prepared and know what’s coming our way! And that’s why earlier in the week, we asked our Facebook Tribe, “What’s your #1 Question on Negative Gearing?”And, as you can imagine, today we’re going to be answering as many of these questions (there were LOTS) as humanly possible (well, without having this episode drag on for a day and a half!)We’ll also be covering WHAT EXACTLY Labor is proposing to change, when these changes are officially kicking in, how it impacts the losses you can claim etc. etc. etc…..

Folks, if you’ve sussed out the title, you’ll know that today we’re visiting a space we don’t normally explore — and that’s investing in COMMERCIAL property!If you’re a regular listener, you’ve definitely cottoned on to the fact that we obviously have an agenda towards residential investing but our bias doesn’t necessarily mean that you can’t reach success by other means of investing.And walking proof of this is Scott O’Neill, Founder and Director of Rethink Investing who is an experienced and active investor who was able to RETIRE FROM HIS DAY JOB AT 28! Yep, VERY impressive. And he did it by investing in both residential property AND commercial property — mostly including well-selected unit blocks and small businesses that’ll likely be around for years to come.With a portfolio of 28 properties, Scott’s passion and commitment have paid off in spades — he and his wife were able to take a 6 month sabbatical from working life and do nothing but travel Europe until, as it so happened, they grew bored of it and decided to teach others how to reach the same success instead!So today we’re traversing Scott’s journey from residential to commercial property and picking up some pebbles of gold for you along the way:-)Free Resources Mentioned: FREE BOOK COMPETITION: If you want a chance to win Denise’s book, Get Rich Lucky Bitch, Tell us Your #1 Money Block HERE.

Folks, did you know that almost all of us have buried “bad feels” about money lurking somewhere inside us?? And this contributes — rather significantly — to how we spend and earn our hard-earned money… whether we’re aware of it or not!That long-forgotten moment you witnessed when you were five?? … Still remembered it! The way your parents spoke about money?? Basically, your psych has stored all your money stories somewhere… and these little tell-tales resurface at the best and worst of times. Say, when you’re putting yet another thing on credit or refusing to spend a single dollar more than simply surviving.And if there’s one woman who knows ALL about this, it’s a certain someone who wrote a book called —let’s be honest, you’ve probably heard about it — Get Rich Lucky Bitch.Joining us today is Money Mindset Mentor Denise Duffield-Thomas of LuckyBitch.com — aka the woman inspiring, mostly but not exclusively, other women on their very real “money blocks” and how to ditch their fears and simply get on with creating true wealth!! She’s a savvy entrepreneur and the well-respected author of, yes, Get Rich Lucky Bitch as well as Lucky Bitch.Now… as two middle-aged fellas who are quick to admit we don’t have all the answers, we’ve gotta hand it to Denise — she, quite literally, is on the money here!! Obviously, we see A LOT of bad money managers and, sure, we’ve got our Money SMARTS Platform to solve this….. but today’s episode is a real eye-opener into WHY people are bad managers and how we can reach our absolute potential without lingering on the jitter-bugs from our past!And folks … you can’t beat an expert in their field who’s “smoking what they’re selling”!!! So, let’s just say… Denise is CLEAR proof of this! Soon you’ll hear just how well her money story’s working out for her … and how you can steal her secrets to success!Before we crack open the gold, if you’re looking for Julia Hartman’s “Property Tax Pack” that we released last week, you can DOWNLOAD the full Property Tax Q & A from Ep 226 and Ep 228 HERELISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >>MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform:  https://www.moorr.com.au/     FREE MASTERCLASS: - How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >>FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple AgainFIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube

Folks, if you haven’t noticed the level of activities that had been happening on our show recently, there were heaps of things going on regarding Labor’s Proposed Negative Gearing policies.Long story short.. Two weeks ago, Ben as the Chair of Property Investors Council of Australia (PICA), discovered that Labor and the Parliamentary Budgeting Office (PBO) had been using incorrect data in their costing for the proposed Negative Gearing Policy.Since then, Ben had been speaking to researchers, aggregators, politicians, lenders and real estate agents to find out what’s the actual rate of investors that are buying brand new properties vs existing ones. So far, it’s been found that the proposed Negative gearing savings could be overstated by up to $8 billion. This again highlights the importance of having the right data.So last week, Ben was on the Money News Show with Ross Greenwood to discuss further about this discovery and he was also invited to the Housing Industry Forum to share his point of view as Chair of PICA.And it looks like, he’s finally made an impact because now, you couldn’t find much information on the policy on ALP’s website!We’re very excited that Labor and the PBO are updating their costing with good data now but the work’s not done. It’s important to include subject matter experts like the Master Builders Australia, Housing Industry Association, Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA), Property Council, Property Investment Professionals of Australia (PIPA), PICA and others to craft this policy together.Again, as we mentioned before, we’re NOT against Labor.We are NOT saying that we should leave Negative Gearing unchanged.We are against the ill-prepared policy here. And if you agree with us, please share this with your network and hopefully, common sense would prevail.LISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >>MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform:  https://www.moorr.com.au/     FREE MASTERCLASS: - How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >>FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple AgainFIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube

Folks, let’s just say… it’s been a week!!!You know that exclusive story we shared with you in last week episode?? Well, it’s, ahh, hit the headlines… BIG TIME!Don’t know what we’re talking about? Here’s a Quick Recap…Ben was listening to Chris Bowen (Shadow Treasurer of the Labor Party) on ABC’s Insiders: The Interview. Bold Statement made. Rather bold in fact (Listen to ABC’s audio here). Chris Bowen quotes that 96% of properties negatively geared are Established Properties. Ben nearly “loses his cornflakes”. Where had Labor got their data from???Fast forward to today and not only do we know that the ABS data Labor used to model their negative gearing policy is, in fact, WRONG… but also Ben’s done a bit of behind-the-scenes leg work to expose the real data.The result? You’ll find out EVERYTHING in today’s episode! But we WILL say this… our world exclusive has made front page news on the Financial Review and Chris Bowen himself has mentioned a certain “mortgage broker” (aka ol’ mate Kingsley) in an address yesterday.Watch the National Press Club clip here on ABC iview here.Hence, we’ve decided to push Julia’s “Part 2” property tax episode back a week because we think this breaking news is SERIOUSLY IMPORTANT for you folks!Before we get into it, we do want to add that we are NOT questioning the methodology of the PBO and other expert economists responsible for the modelling work here — far from it. What we’re saying is the data they had access to was simply wrong. And without Labor approaching any of our industry experts prior to pushing the pedal on their modelling, the figures they’ve been telling the general public are and have always been, misinformed. And this, to be frank, can have quite dangerous consequences for the property market.LISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >>MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform:  https://www.moorr.com.au/     FREE MASTERCLASS: - How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >>FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple AgainFIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube

Property Tax… let’s have a real conversation about it folks!Because if we’re being honest— even with 40-odd years of industry know-how between us — there’s still a bit of property tax knowledge we could use too.And if you’ve listened to us for a while now, you’ll also know that, when it comes to tax, we’re only allowed to talk about “Statements of Fact” — as we’re not qualified to give advice in this area.So it’s GREAT NEWS that today’s guest is absolutely, well and truly, qualified to dish out the Capital Gains Tax, Depreciation Benefits, Trusts, Ownership Structures and ALL of the property tax perks & pitfalls!! In fact, she’s SO qualified and willing to share what she knows, that we stole a couple of hours of her time to deliver you TWO EPISODES – today, clearing being Part One.   Who’s our epic guest?Oh, “just” The #1 Property Tax Expert in Australia… Julia Hartman!!!To give you an idea of the calibre of skill set we’re working with here — Julia is the Founder of BAN TACS, a co-operative of Accountants, which has been helping thousands of Australian’s navigate the world of tax since 1992!! She has a Bachelor of Business and is a Chartered Accountant (CA), Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and a Registered Tax Agent.PLUS, because we knew she was coming, we threw it out there for our listeners to ask us their most pressing Tax Q’s they have — and Julie’s going to answer plenty of these today and next week.Free Resources Mentioned: For the ATO table comparison in the Did You Know segment today, head to our Facebook page!Also, don’t forget, if you’re in #Radelaide… The PICA meet up in Adelaide – 7:00PM, Tues 9th April 2019The Capital Gains Tax Calculator – Buy it hereJulia’s article on AirBnB – Click here to readLISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >>MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform:  https://www.moorr.com.au/     FREE MASTERCLASS: - How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >>FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple AgainFIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube

It’s the first Tuesday of the month folks… which means the RBA Board has met and announced the official cash rate for March 2019!As widely anticipated, the Cash Rate has remained at 1.5%.Now if you tuned in to last week’s episode with Dr Andrew Wilson, you would notice that he forecasted the next rate cut to be as early as April!Bill Evans, Chief Economist at Westpac on the other hand, is anticipating not one, but two rate cuts in the second half of the year.What has triggered this and what do we think is going to happen? Why is it that most economists are forecasting a rate cut instead of a rate hike? Ben explains all this and more in this episode.If you’d like to check out his previous commentaries, click here.DISCLAIMER: This podcast is general information only and is an opinion comment by Ben Kingsley.

“Housing markets shouldn’t be leading monetary policy; they’re a response to monetary policy.” — Dr Andrew Wilson.Folks, our guest for this week is Dr Andrew Wilson, Chief Economist at My Housing Market, who is sounding more bullish than bearish when it comes to Australia’s property market and overall economic outlook!To give you an idea, Dr Wilson provides comprehensive property market insights and is a highly-regarded and prolific housing market speaker, as well as a keynote presenter for the Committee for Economic Development of Australia (CEDA) and an appointed housing market expert and adviser to the Federal Government funded Australian Urban Research Infrastructure Network.

Just sayin’.So if the uncertainty of the property market is sending your confidence out of whack, let’s go up 30ft around the country and see what’s coming up over that hill. You’ll get a sneak peek at some of the regions that might be worth your attention this year, as well as when the interest rate will potentially drop this year, according to the Chief Economist himself.Spoiler… the Scare Campaign just might lose its edgeWhile we don’t want to take the limelight from today’s guest… we should probably let you know here too….

Folks, “the $64 million dollar question” — and the decision that comes with it — has the potential to either CRIPPLE or COMPLETE an investor’s property portfolio!And the expensive and decisive question is this…“Should I sell or hold onto my property?”Who knows, maybe YOU are currently mulling over this exact question right now? Or maybe you’ve invested in a not-too-great property, but you don’t know if you should keep it.

Wow-wee does this episode contain ALL the gold… and then some!!!Unlike a “rags to riches” story, today’s very special guest — Julie Ann Cairns — shares her personal experience of living RICHES to RAGS… and how she finally managed to overcome the money pattern that kept resurfacing in her life.Of course, today Julie’s life’s mission is to empower people to live an abundant life free from false beliefs — and in this spirit, she wrote The Abundance Code – How to Bust the 7 Money Myths for a Rich Life Now (we’ve got two copies up for grabs, see further down for more  ) And as an economist and statistician, with over 25 years of experience in the fields of wealth creation, financial market education, and financial advice… this book makes sense…… BUT that’s NOT where her story started!Julie’s rollercoaster ride with money dug its roots right in when she was too young to question it — her father was a successful surgeon, her parents were property investors in a position to send their kids to prestigious schools, they lived in their dream home on a lake in Canada… in fact, they were so wealthy they could even to afford to own a “couple of aeroplanes”!!! (Crazy, huh?)But then her parents lost everything. And what happened next triggered a chain of events that made Julie swear she’d NEVER end up bankrupt… except that, years later, she was in an almost-identical situation herself.So… how on earth did she end up in the same predicament? And, most importantly, WHAT did Julie discover that explained why this was likely the case???Folks, to give you a bit of a teaser… what Julie discovered about “subconscious barriers” is a GAME CHANGER for your own financial (and personal) well-being!(So much so, you’ll barely hear Ben in this podcast — **speechless**).Before we get into the guts of today’s episode, CLICK HERE to Get Julie’s “Scare City vs The Abundant Forest” Diagram Mentioned in Today’s Show.Oh, and interested in getting your hands on a copy of Julie’s book for free?For your chance to win, head to our Facebook Page and under the photograph of The Abundance Code, tell us in 25 words or less why YOU need a copy of Julie’s book.The offer ends at 11:59 PM, Monday, 25/02/19. LISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >>MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform:  https://www.moorr.com.au/     FREE MASTERCLASS: - How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >>FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple AgainFIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube

Today’s RBA announcement is more important than all of last year’s “business as usual” announcements… which is why Ben has dedicated more time to explaining it this time around.Yes, the Cash Rate has remained at 1.5%.But that’s more to this episode than just the cash rate. Why?Because there are now more data flowing in, suggesting that over the last quarter of last year, the economy appears to be in sharp decline.In this episode, Ben explains to you why he thinks this is happening, what’s going to happen to interest rates now and where there might be a great opportunity for some.Of course, given recent news with the Banking Royal Commission’s Final Report, he also highlights the significance of some of the 76 recommendations, and how this impacts the finance sector.If you’d like to check out his previous commentaries, click here.DISCLAIMER: This video is general information only and is an opinion comment by Ben Kingsley.

Folks, if there’s one thing we love… it’s a good TRANSFORMATION story!! And today’s guest had a transformation that seriously shocked us!Here’s why this radical change was so impressive…Today’s guest and #TPC listener Jordan Bill USED TO think, “He who dies with the most money wins”… AND he knows that being dragged to his dad’s worksite as a kid, and being asked to move all those bricks and straighten those nails taught him a valuable life lesson…… Working hard pays off.BUT how??Jordan has grown to realise that a paycheck (even that $3 bucks he’d get from his dad as a kid to buy some mixed lollies) didn’t always end up with a bigger bank balance. PLUS he now gets that a bigger bank balance, especially when you’re in the ground, is NOT what property investing’s about. And neither is it about blowing your cash on… ah…nothing.The crux of the story?The backbone of Jordan’s transformation came from Money S.M.A.R.T.S. This system proved to him that elite money management wasn’t just about “land banking” all of your cash, OR letting it slip from your fingers in one live-for-the-moment swoop… elite money management was putting it to work so it could take care of his family and give him more of what he REALLY wanted.It transformed his life, his family’s life and those little neurons in his brain…LISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >>MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform:  https://www.moorr.com.au/     FREE MASTERCLASS: - How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >>FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple AgainFIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube

Folks, there are some stories that are just meant to be told… and listener Fiona Bengtsson DEFINITELY lives one of these stories!Here’s the plot line…Fiona, a teacher by trade, and her husband Andreas, a tradie, had three kids and a small business when things started to go pear-shaped. With their company growing faster than it could fund itself, Fiona and Andrea began feeding their OWN money into the company, hoping the return would pay off. Instead, what happened was this...They borrowed money to pay off borrowed money. They dug into the gut of their personal finances and entered a debt spiral so out of control that Fiona actually stopped sleeping at night. The stress and the embarrassment entered their family home, took up the space in the pantry where the groceries (which they could no longer afford) sat… and the pressure of it all silenced the real conversations between family, friends and, even worse… each other.Rock bottom was their reality.But — as Fiona is bravely about to share with us — in several years they ended up flipping this debt spiral on its head, revamped their financial situation and are now ON TOP.The question is… how on earth did they recover from very-near bankruptcy???LISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >>MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform:  https://www.moorr.com.au/     FREE MASTERCLASS: - How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >>FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple AgainFIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube

Folks, our Summer Series continues with ANOTHER ripper guest! And not only is today’s guest a very special TPC listener (!!) but also…. he is a REAL LIFE INVESTOR!But there’s a problem…John Hartill has learnt a lot of things the hard way. Unfortunately, he made mistakes along the way that, if we’re being completely honest, have cost him a small fortune. Over his property investment journey (expanding a couple of decades now) John has been spruiked to, sold to and, sadly, bought really bad properties.The fact is… He’s tried every property investment strategy under the sun — buying house and land packages, developing property, renovating, investing in positively geared property — you name it folks!And as a result, John’s had to learn the true cost of holding property and what’s at stake if you get your advice for free, buy Off the Plan or jump in without the correct education to support you.And he’s here to share his personal story so that YOU can avoid making the same mistakes.Here’s the gold…How did John get into property in the first place?What was the first mistake he made?And how much is that property worth now?What interest was John paying on his loan for his first property?How was his cash flow management affected?Could he continue investing while also being self-employed?Why is location so important in investing in property?What were the costs of selling a property?What were to costs of holding onto poor-performing property?What Spruiker tactics were used on John?What would John do differently?How is his portfolio performing now?Is he using the Money SMARTS system?When does he want to retire?In all likelihood, was John’s profit a real one or a “paper profit”? Why?What were the other property investment mistakes John made?How can you fix bad property investment decisions?Why isn’t free advice a good idea??LISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >>MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform:  https://www.moorr.com.au/     FREE MASTERCLASS: - How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >>FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple AgainFIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube

Property Market — put simply: she’s an ace Buyers Agent on the grounds in the Sydney market!! Which makes total sense as the Founder and Principal of Good Deeds Property Buyers, a Buyers Agency specialising in the Sydney market! Plus, Veronica’s also a QPIA, a clever property investor and keynote speaker and industry writer!Oh, and a little birdie told us she has her OWN property podcast, The Elephant in the Room, which she co-hosts with Chris Bates!So if someone knows the Sydney market, it’s Veronica!LISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >>MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform:  https://www.moorr.com.au/     FREE MASTERCLASS: - How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >>FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple AgainFIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube

Folks if there’s one thing a property investor wants… it’s to make sure that their asset is taken care of!And an invaluable way to do this is to make sure you have quality tenants who will respect your property and obviously pay their rent on time. But you also need the assurance that (touch wood) if the worst-case scenario were to play out, you’d have someone on your side to protect you and your asset and, importantly, hold the right person accountable.…. This is where having the right property manager can make all the difference!!So how do you spot the right property manager? And what are the traits that separate the good from the great??Joining us today — for her debut on The Property Couch — is Lauren Robinson, Founder of RentalResults, a specialist property management business based in Brisbane, author of Rented and a successful property investor (commercial and residential) in her own right. With over 15 years of experience in the property management industry, having won Property Manager of the Year in 2017, and buying her first property way back when she was 22, Lauren is quite the guest to cover today’s topic!Before we crack open the lid and dive into the gold, just a quick shout out that our Summer Series starts THIS COMING TUESDAY (18th of December).

Over 2 ½ years ago, waaay back in Episode 66, we warned you that Winter Was Coming…The question is folks… did you prepare?We really hope you did. Because if you caught ABC’s three-part 7:30 Report this week or you read the OECD Housing Report that came out on Monday, then you’ll know that the Australian housing market isn’t the flavour of the month at the moment.We’ve all seen that the property market come off its peak, and this, combined with the credit crunch following APRA’s lending restrictions and the Banking Royal Commission, as well as the proposed changes to Negative Gearing and Capital Gains Tax has spread a ripple right across market sentiment.In other words, you could say… Winter is here.So, today we’re diving into what’s unfolding with housing prices and what we’re likely to see happen in the property market from here. To help with this, we’re revisiting what we discussed 2 ½ years ago — Episode 066 | Winter is coming and the air will be colder up high.And folks, the similarities between what we said then to what we’re seeing now just might shock you! Those who acted early and pulled out the umbrella won’t be surprised.BUT the real question is: what does all this mean for you and the future of investing in property?Or do you simply want a straight answer to “What the heck is going on in the property market right now?”We’ve got you covered.LISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >>MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform:  https://www.moorr.com.au/     FREE MASTERCLASS: - How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >>FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple AgainFIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube

It’s the first Tuesday of the month Ben… which means the RBA Board has met and announced the official cash rate!Ben’s update today focuses on not only the cash rate but on the biggest story of the last six weeks as well… the stock market corrections!Plus, Ben explains why Scott Morrison’s latest announcement signals the timing of the upcoming election, and how this will impact the economy moving forward.So… for the last Cash Rate announcement of 2018, what will be RBA’s decision on the cash rate?Most namely the biggest story of the last six weeks, and certainly into November, has been the stock market corrections that we’ve seen around the globe on the fears of a slowing global economy. You can also factor in the spike that the US economy and the US share market had through the lower tax rates introduced by Donald Trump. So we’ve got that as a backdrop, but also the share market has also lost confidence because of the trade wars that are going on.Interestingly, over the weekend China and the US met and they’ve put a truce in place — well, it’s short term so it might be a false dawn, but we have a truce in place — which means the US isn’t going to increase their tariff percentages and China has promised to buy a significant amount of US goods.What has that meant? Well, we’ve definitely seen the stock market have a very, very good couple of days and that’s potentially put some confidence back into the broader stock market, and hopefully the broader economies around the world. But it is short term; we need to get through this Christmas period, which is going to see some significant changes.LISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >>MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform:  https://www.moorr.com.au/     FREE MASTERCLASS: - How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >>FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple AgainFIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube

Folks, it’s finally here…… our 200TH EPISODE!!!!!!!!!!Pheeeeeeeeeeuuuuuuuuppppp!!!!(This is as close as we can get to a Party Horn sound.)And, boy, do we have a legendary episode for you!!! To give you an idea folks — when we locked in today’s guest, Ben was cartwheeling and high-fiving all over the joint. And for good reason… because joining us today is none other than THE “Money” man himself, Mr Paul Clitheroe!!!Look, we probably don’t need to tell you that from 1993 – 2002, Paul Clitheroe was indeed a household name — appearing in people’s lounge rooms as he hosted the wildly successful show Money on the Nine Network. Yep. Almost one in two households were watching his show, so if you’re like us, and you’ve got a bit of “salt and pepper” in your hair, chances are you were one of the folks watching!For those Gen Y-ers who might not know Paul, he (along with his uni mates) founded the leading investment research and advisory company ipac, back in 1983. He’s got more than a handful of books to his name — Money, Marriage and Divorce, Making Money, The Road to Wealth, Free Yourself from Debt, Make your Fortune by 40… and this isn’t even all of them! You can stalk all of his books here.To put the cherry on his very successful career, Paul’s gone on to dedicate his professional life to serving others, having been an active advocate of financial literacy for DECADES and championing ASIC’s MoneySmart Schools. To give you an idea, he’s Chairman of the Australian Government Financial Literacy Board and Financial Literacy Australia, as well as the Chairman of InvestSMART. Oh, and he’s also Chairman and chief commentator of Money magazine.Yep. Doesn’t get much better folks!!Well, maybe it does… because we’ve got him for over 1.5 hours of rock-solid gold (Yep. You might need to listen to both ways on your commute!!)The even better bit?… Paul comes with real-life money hacks AND he’s also a ripper storyteller!LISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >>MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform:  https://www.moorr.com.au/     FREE MASTERCLASS: - How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >>FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple AgainFIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube

Normally personal stories about money stay secret…  up until this episode!The truth is folks — it’s not really the “done” thing to have a conversation about money, is it?

We’re going to get real and vulnerable and we’re going to share with you OUR OWN that has shaped our relationship and habits with money.In other words: we’re going to reveal what’s really happened in our life up until now (yep, this includes revealing some childhood influences), which might explain why we’re so obsessed with finance and on a two-man-and-a-couch crusade to help others excel in managing their own money!So, yep.

“Labor risks $12bn housing hit over ending negative gearing” — if you’re like us folks… this headline has us all concerned!!And the concern didn’t stop at the headline.As we read on, the full news article, published by The Australian on the weekend, highlighted that the $32 billion plan to end negative gearing would — quote — lead to a fall in new housing construction of up to 42,000 dwellings over five years and 32,000 fewer jobs across the country, according to independent modelling — end quote.Yep… that’s a drop in a whole lot of new housing construction (ie. supply) AND just a-bit-more-than-a-few losses (up to 32,000) in jobs!!Folks… this is crazy stuff.And those stats aren’t the only ones coming out of recent independent research digging into the numbers of what’s likely to happen if negative gearing’s ditched.So, today we’re looking at a few of the worst-case scenarios from two different reports (the links to both of these are further down in the show notes) and unpacking — with both a short-term and long-term view — how this change to negative gearing might affect the property market and those investing in it.But negative gearing changes — and the possible consequences on housing prices and for first-home buyers — isn’t the only question we’re answering today!

Folks … we’ve gone a bit creative on today’s episode!!We want you to think, act and do like …. ants!Yep. We really do mean those teeny tiny insects…. who would have thought ants would come up in a property investing podcast? But before you ask yourself, “Have we left our marbles somewhere?”, we solemnly swear we’ve got a reason!Well, 7 actually.And we reckon you can take something away from today’s crafty, critter-fueled episode … especially if you’re in need of a bit of a pick-me-up in the mindset department!So, before we give you the low down on today’s episode, let’s get to the real talk: The proposed changes to the Residential Tenancies Act.Yep, it’s causing a bit of a stir after a few disgruntled tenants have had their say ….but it’s now time to have ours. Because these reforms WILL have negative impacts on landlords. Some of the proposed changes include:Allowing tenants to make non-structural modifications to rental properties, which may include repainting an entire property, installing hooks for picture frames, concreting the backyard or reconfiguring built-in robesRemoval of the landlord’s rights to consent to, or refuse, petsChanges to notice periods around ending a lease, removing the ability for a landlord to serve a 120 Day Notice to Vacate for ‘No Specified Reason’, and removing the option to serve a 60 or 90 Day Notice to Vacate for ‘End of Fixed-term tenancy’ after the initial first termCapping bonds at one month’s rent where the rent is less than $760 per week. This reform will also apply to rent that is paid in advance.We get that a hook in the wall is one thing... but concreting a backyard, or painting the walls in lime green, is an entirely different thing. These are our assets, and shouldn’t we have a voice to protect them?So, The Real Estate Institute of Victoria (REIV) released an online petition calling on the Andrews Government to change these proposed reforms to Victoria’s rental laws. We want fairness for both sides.So, if you feel passionate about this and want to make sure your landlord rights remain, you can sign the petition here.LISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >>MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform:  https://www.moorr.com.au/     FREE MASTERCLASS: - How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >>FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple AgainFIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube

We promised you a market outlook last week….. so, folks, we had to deliver!Yep!

Back in Episode 90, he joined us to chat about the impact of Donald Trump on the Australian Property Market. So what’s in store this year for each state and capital in Australia?Tune in…… you’re about to find out!!Before we jump in and tell you the property outlook 2018, Bryce wants to remind you to send in your Android Life Hack (please and thank you) so we can even the playfield with the iPhone users! Just email it to [email protected]!Okay, so today’s big questions are:What’s in store for the Australian property market?Is there going to be a significant shock?What’s up with the economy?

We’re sorry to bring you Bad News while you’re on holidays.Unfortunately, we have heard some negative talk out there and, well, we think it’s best you know. So, today’s podcast is a little on the “doom and gloom” side, we’re afraid.We’re talking about the correction in the market. We’ve all seen the property prices in Sydney come down a bit, and we’ve all heard (perhaps too much) about the Bubble…. Is today the day it finally burst?A longtime listener from Singapore, Saxton, left us a rather distressing voicemail message:“I want to ask you about the article that was published by Matt Barrie the CEO of Freelancer in Australia where he painted a very negative and bleak future of Australia’s future prospects and described the Australian property market as a bubble built upon a bubble, built upon a bubble; namely mining and commodities. Anyway, it’s a long article and I would love to hear your negation on some of his gloomy outlooks and why property is still a good bet moving forward.”If you’ve read the article… you’ll know it’s pretty bleak. Also what’s interesting is that Matt Barrie isn’t a property expert — note that his business has nothing to do with property — and on social media channels he is, which makes sense, an “influencer”. And influencers are good at doing just that.But, at the end of the day, everyone is entitled to an opinion.More importantly, who is right?Full disclosure: Here’s the link to the article.

There are so many things to be excited about in this week’s episode!!!First of all, PICA IS FINALLY UP! Remember a few weeks back (Sydney expo) when Ben gave you a sneak peek at setting up a not-for-profit association for property investors by property investors? Well, it’s official now … and it’s time to unite and make our voices heard. It’s time we take action to ensure our property investments are protected, now and into the future. So make sure you check it out! www.pica.asn.au.(Membership is only $5 a year or $20 for 5 years! Find out more about PICA’s Membership here.)Following on from this … the most drastic change impacting property investors significantly is the recent depreciation changes. On this year’s Budget Night, 7:30 pm AEST on the 9th of May 2017, the Government proposed quite some changes to the tax depreciation schedule. We’ve talked about these changes before with Bradley Beer, CEO of BMT Tax Depreciation back in Episode 117.Since then, the Government has finalised some of these changes and has decided that some of the proposed changes will not go ahead after all. But what are the finalised depreciation changes? That’s why we’ve invited Brad back into the studio today for a quick update!And finally… Bitcoin.It’s the No.1 trending search word at the moment.So, are we for or against it???Let’s talk.So, what are you in for?What depreciation changes did the Government finally decide on?Who will be affected and who WILL NOT be affected?What happens if you purchase an existing property after the 9th of May?Don’t forget the Free Resources mentioned:Brad’s previous appearance on the Couch — Episode 117Ben’s Did You Know Tips can be found here.Access to PICA (Property Investors Council of Australia) — Subscribe hereBMT Tax Depreciation Application Form – Fill in the form below to download or click here.LISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >>MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform:  https://www.moorr.com.au/     FREE MASTERCLASS: - How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >>FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple AgainFIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube

Happy Podcast Day folks!

When is the suitcase of cash finally going to land at your feet? Is it something you might be doing/not doing?Yep, this one just might make you have a long, hard look at yourself.  Because there are TEN reasons — a few of which you might be doing now — that are blocking your shot at financial freedom.How do you do it?Go to our Mo’s Team Page here and donate $25 or more.Once you’ve done it, let us know by commenting on this Facebook Post here.We’ll send you the book. Easy!AND if we hit our target of raising $5,000 for Movember, Ben has promised to create a FREE WEBINAR on Working Out Your Retirement Gap!

Now… it’s Framework Time!! The last framework that we unpacked was Episode 137 on Tips for Buying in Spring so we think we are a little overdue for another one.The topic that we’ll be chatting about today doesn’t happen all the time, of course, but it does happen: Vendors sell BEFORE they go to auction.Have you ever wondered why??Today, we’re exploring some of the main reasons explaining an early sell in this situation. Because if you’re selling (side note: hopefully you’ve received professional advice about this), it pays to know which tactics could be lurking around the corner for you. Of course, if you’re interested in buying property, it saves to know how to negotiate a win before the bidding has had a chance to begin!So, is selling before auction as clear-cut as we might think?Yep, today we’re digging into the heart of it:Firstly, who really wants an auction in the first place?What are the ‘bigger picture’ reasons to explain this exit strategy?Could the real estate agent be outsmarting you?What happens when you have limited buyer interest?Can you take an ‘ugly’ property to auction?Is a premium offer enough to make a vendor sell?What is the rare thing that happens more than you think?How does age influence an early sale?What do you need to look out for?Do you have confidence in the Australian residential property market?What does it take to persuade a vendor to sell to you?P.S.

We’ve spent the week in America, folks — so we thought we’d better bring you back a bit of gold!Sitting by a pool in Dallas (yep), we scored some local intel on the American Property Market —like what’s making Texas a HOT place for investing — with today’s guest, Jeff Goins.So who’s Jeff? A full-time investor of “Tax Deeds” in Texas which includes house “flipping”, he has a builder’s license and a sponge of property knowledge. What’s most eye-opening though, is his local insight into how Americans invest in residential property, including their lending rules and regulations, and their penalties for unpaid property taxes, which is VASTLY different from the way we Aussies do it!Oh, and a couple of Texan “translations” before we start:“Inventory” = Supply and Demand“Rehab” = RenovateSo, what are we discussing?What’s the appeal of investing in the American market; particularly Texas?The US Government's involvement in their lending and how it triggered the global financial crisis?Aftermaths of the GFC and how they recover their confidence in the real estate market?The differences in Australia’s and America’s lending regulationWhat are the interest rates like?Understanding the geo-economic difference between both countries and how will it impact investors’ decisionsWhy is the average property price in America SO much cheaper?Are there offset accounts and are they able to leverage off equity?What happens if you don’t pay tax on your property?What do “Tax Liens” and Tax Deeds” mean?How can investors benefit from Tax Liens and Tax Deeds?Is there such a thing as residential property advice in America?Where are the auctions held in Texas? ALSO, we’re doing Movember this month! We’ve been supporting this cause for years but this time, we plan to expand the awareness on men’s health and help support the cause in our community. Our target is $5,000.

We’ve been building this one up a bit, haven’t we? But TODAY is the day we’ve got Jeremy Sheppard on the couch! Jeremy—himself an investor with 16 properties in his own portfolio—explains his years of passion in data collection, analysis and research into the levels of supply and demand (across every market and 15,000 suburbs in Australia). This passion pioneered the DSR Formula and the inception of DSRData.com.au.How it works (nutshell): Supply and demand are the only things that affect the future price of any good. If you know the exact level of supply and demand in a market, you can roughly predict its capital growth direction—up or down/making you money, or not.But how do you identify the level, and how can specific variables influence the market’s movement?There are 8 proven indicators that measures EXACTLY WHERE demand exceeds supply, honing in on where the capital growth lives.And in PART ONE, 5 of the 8 key indicators will be explained by the boys. They are:Stock on MarketAuction Clearance RatesOnline Search InterestDays on MarketVacancy Rate (and how to calculate your own vacancy rate)Just listen.

What a week! Apologies for the podcast’s downtown earlier this week and thank you to those of you who wrote in to us. We had a system update and things didn’t quite work out as we wanted them to be. That aside, the 2017 Federal Budget has been released just a couple of days ago. So let’s talk about that.There were a few proposals relating to the affordability issue and a couple more that aims at the property investors pool. But overall, this was not an overly exciting budget. It was a conservative one. Nonetheless, what impact will if have on property owners and the Australian Property Market in general. Some of the issues that Bryce and Ben discussed in today’s episode are:The proposed changes to depreciation deductions for plant and equipmentCapital Gains Tax exemption for foreign and temporary tax residentsInvestors’ travel expenses claimsThe implementation of First Home Super Saver Scheme and is it a good ideaThe expanded audit on overseas investorsIf you would like to understand more about the 2017 Federal Budget, please check out this link.If you like this episode (What Does The 2017 Federal Budget Mean To The Property Market?), don’t forget to rate us on our iTunes channel (The Property Couch Podcast) and our Facebook page.

Housing Affordability. APRA. Investor’s Lending. Super Property Deposit Debate.These are headline news for the last few weeks which have been monopolising the business section of most press for some time now. So, we don’t think we can wait any longer either!Now, what did they chat about today?

It does not take into account the particular investment objectives or financial situation of any potential listeners, and you should always consult a qualified professional advisor before making any investment decisions.Some of the references made in this podcast are:CoreLogic’s Housing Market Update (March 2017) – Download hereEp 57 | The Headwinds Are Coming – Listen here If you like this podcast, don’t forget to rate us on our iTunes channel (The Property Couch Podcast) and our Facebook page.

Back in Episode 102, Bryce and Ben discussed if we are facing an affordability issue and when Jan Somers appeared on our show last month, she mentioned that her aunt was also concerned about housing affordability back in the 1950s. Now, with the Federal Budget just a couple of months away, this topic appears yet again, and it seems to be the favourite amongst our politicians.This time, the debate is about improving affordability for first-home buyers. Now, don’t get us wrong. The Property Couch believes in the Great Australian Dream and owning your home. But as mentioned before, your first home will not be luxurious nor will it tick all the criteria of your dream home. This is about setting the right expectation because you would get to your dream home, and you would be able to get that quarter-acre house eventually. But it will not happen overnight. You need to work for it, and you need to be smart with your decisions especially when it comes to money and planning for the future. Your first home, may not be your dream home but this does not mean that your second or third home wouldn’t be.That is why education about property and awareness of the risk of investing in property is so important. This is one of the suggestions that Bryce and Ben chat about to improve affordability in the Australian Property Market. Tune in to find out the rest.And the other stuff mentioned in this episode are:Has the Way We Look at Financial Stability Changed Since the Global Financial Crisis? – Speech by Michelle Bullock, Assistant Governor (Financial System) of RBA: Listen/Read HereCore Logic’s Pain and Gain Quarterly Report: Download HereFact Sheet on Guarantor Loan: Download HereBryce’s video on the four players in the industry is part of the Property Formula video series.

After last week’s much-anticipated talk with Jan Somers who is an example of someone who has made many successful choices when building her 40-plus-year-old portfolio, today’s episode features Bryce and Ben discussing seven of the most common ways many of us lose money when investing in property. With key advice and some examples of how and why the choices we make as property investors can have a negative impact on our portfolios, the guys make sure to warn us and help us understand why these ways can cost you money rather than make you more.The first way to lose money on property is by choosing the wrong location. As they have mentioned in countless episodes, location does 80% of the heavy lifting when purchasing property so making sure you have the right location is one of the key things to look for. It covers many areas such as amenities, human interest and practicality; so getting it right means a lot to your portfolio.

With a fresh start this week for The Property Couch after our much-anticipated 100th episode last week, the energy definitely hasn’t dwindled as Episode 101 has Bryce and Ben discussing the six critical foundations to building your wealth plan. From the comfort of Ben’s home instead of the studio this week, (as not even an operation can delay an episode of TPC), the guys discuss foundations such as strategy, getting a mentor and building your tribe to name a few. Similar to a skyscraper or a mega-size bridge, the foundations on which you build your property portfolio or even, your financial wealth plan is crucial. However, it’s not an exciting process and can be mundane for some but do not underestimate how much difference it can make to the long-term performance of your wealth plan. Time is a commodity that you can’t afford to lose and if you find out later in life that your wealth plan isn’t going to work, it can potentially be too late.Of course, the jokes and banter still continue in this podcast, and with that in mind, we hope you enjoy this next instalment and the next step that The Property Couch is taking. To another 100 episodes!P.S.

Have you heard about the myth that all property double in value every 7 – 10 years? If this is true, it is certainly an irresistible offer! But if it is true, why isn’t everybody investing in property? Unfortunately, based on the report recently released by Core Logic (download link below), this is simply not true. In fact, only three capital cities in Australia had doubled their median house prices in the last ten years and so, for today’s episode, Bryce and Ben will be doing a bit of myth-busting.They will also be answering a question from Stacey:Hi Ben & Bryce,I have a question about the suburb of Cranbourne in Melbourne…I recently went to a property seminar in Melbourne and the presenter was telling us that Cranbourne will be a big growth area in the future, along with Pakenham, Officer and another suburb I cannot recall. Do you think this is true? Only because my partner has a house in Cranbourne he has invested in and is renting out at the moment, and we are not sure whether to hold onto it or not.Many thanks guys and I am loving your podcasts.Free resources mentioned in this podcast:How many suburbs have seen median prices double over the past decade?

Yes, we know it can sound a bit contradictory. This is a property podcast with two of Australia’s top property experts and we even did an episode on why invest in property! So why would we talk about not investing in property?Well, the fact is, investing in property is not the perfect type of investment for everyone. There are certain times in an investor’s journey when it is simply a bad time to start investing. There are also times when investors need to first reflect on their mindset before they start. Property investing is a high-value investment, and you’ve heard us repeatedly saying that it is for the long term. It’s like following a recipe. If you don’t have all the essential ingredients in place, it’s best if you don’t cook the dish.

One of the negotiation tips mentioned in previous episodes is to understand the vendor’s motivation to sell. Once you understood that, you would have a better idea of what to negotiate on and increase your chances of securing that property. But as always, this is easier said than done because how would you know if the real estate agent is clouding the truth? Hence why you need to make sure you are asking the right questions, in the right way and are capable of assessing the agent’s reaction to your questions.In some cases, some vendors are extra motivated to sell and you can take advantage of this to help you boost your chances. So in today’s episode, Bryce and Ben will be discussing the four ‘D’ words that would indicate a very motivated seller. They will also be sharing some of the questions you need to ask to spot these situations, answers from real estate agents that you should look out for and negotiation tricks that you can use if the vendor’s motivation falls into these 4 categories. Start listening to find out more.If you like this podcast: “The Four ‘D’ words that Equal a motivated seller!”, don’t forget to rate us on our iTunes channel (The Property Couch Podcast) and our Facebook page.
