Property Investment, Success & Money | The Michael Yardney Podcast

There have been some interesting property headlines recently, haven't there? Things like Australia's house prices are seeing the fastest quarterly decline on record. An Australian property market crash is coming. The chances of a crash in house prices just jumped. A Freedom of Information report revealed internal research by the RBA found property prices could fall by as much as 20% Is a property crash really likely? That's what I was recently asked by Nathan Veccio, Mortgage Coach and Brisbane based Mortgage Broker at Hunter Galloway, in an interview for his YouTube Channel And considering that thousands of people watched the interview and over 90 commented on this interview, I asked Nathan permission to replay the audio version for you as a listener of my podcast. I think you'll find the questions Nathan asked me insightful, and even though you may have already heard some of my views on what's ahead for our property markets, considering all the changes in the few weeks since we recorded this interview, I think my comments are even more relevant. Rather than being overly worried about inflation, rising interest rates, and all economic woes, please take the time to listen to my thoughts, and I hope at the end of today's show, you'll have a bit more clarity of watch ahead.

We're living in challenging, stressful times with a barrage of mixed messages about what's ahead for our economy and our property markets. Everything seems to be stacked against those looking to invest in property, falling values, rising interest rates, and various governments interfering, making it seem like we are losing control of our investments. The bottom line is investing is getting harder. It's easy to see all the risks and problems now, but in five years, it's likely we will look back and see lots of missed opportunities because the rear vision mirror is always clearer than the windscreen. Another prediction I'd like to make for five years' time is that 50% of those who buy an investment property in the next year or two will have sold up. Why do I say this? Because that's what's been happening for the last few decades. And unfortunately, many who will have held onto their investment property won't be owning an investment-grade property. Meaning they won't achieve the financial independence they're looking for. What can you do about this? How can you end up being in that small group of investors who own a substantial property portfolio? That's what I'm going to be asking leading financial advisor Stuart Weymss, in today's show.

Have you noticed how everybody seems more stressed lately? For many, it seems harder to be happier at a time when everyone seems to be more stressed because of the continual changes occurring. It started with the uncertainties of Covid a few years ago, and for most of this year, the media has been scaring us with the bogeyman of inflation, rising interest rates, lower living standards, and possibly even a recession. So, in today's show, our focus is going to be a little bit different - we are not going to be talking about property – we'll be discussing another important part of your wealth because my guest Merv Neal is going to teach you how to cope with stress.

In today's podcast, we talk about property management, but we're going to bring up some things you may not be aware of. Did you know that one state legislation requires you to give your tenant your personal email address or your mobile number? Did you know that in another state, you can't ask potential tenants their age or their occupation? How can you do a thorough tenancy check? Boy, has legislation moved in favour of the tenants rather than the property investors. No wonder more and more investors are wondering if it's all getting too hard. So, what can you do to protect yourself and the significant investment you've made in property? That's what we discuss today with Leanne Jopson, national director of Metropole Property Management.

What's ahead for Australia for the balance of this decade? That's what I discuss today with leading demographer Simon Kuestenmacher. Forecasting is important because it can help us to make better investment and financial decisions. If we have a sense of where the world and our economy are going, we can prepare better. In theory, that's what forecasting should do. In practice, it's much harder as the world keeps throwing surprises at us. But if you've heard my chats with Simon before, you'll know how he shares great insights, so if you are interested in property investment, or just the future of our country and how it will relate to you, your job, and your prosperity I'm sure you'll get benefit from my chat so welcome to this week's show.

Today's podcast initially started as a regular question and answer session with Ken Raiss where we answer your queries, but it ended up being a discussion on the role of property investors based on a comment made by a friend of Ken's who said that "property investors are the scum of the earth feeding off poor tenants." While I'm sure as somebody interested in property, you'll have your view on this, I think you'll enjoy my chat with Ken today as we initially answer Grant's question about whether Australia will fall into recession. Now I know we've discussed this before, but the world has changed since then, and then you hear our opinions on whether property investors are the scum of the earth or how they fulfill a critical role in the Australian housing market.

Property investment has lost its appeal for 45% of Queensland investors, according to the latest Property Investor Sentiment Survey by PIPA. The survey found many investors are selling up, and quite a few feel they are longer in control of their assets. I'm sure you'll still find my chat with Nicola McDougall, Chair of the Property Investment Professionals of Australia interesting, especially as you compare yourself with what other Australian investors are planning to do.

One of the best parts of being involved in the property markets is that I'm continually learning. However, one of the things I've learned from history is that we don't learn from history. How often have you heard people say this time is different when really it isn't? Some things just don't change. In today's podcast, I chat with Brett Warren, national director of Metropole and we discuss some of the lessons I've learned from history and talk about some things that don't change to help give you some clarity and direction in these interesting challenging markets.

Who do you ask for property investment advice? With so many mixed messages and vested interests, who can you really trust? And in today's property markets, there are very few advisers who have the perspective of having lived through and successfully invested in several property cycles and understand how to take advantage of the current stage of the property cycle. Yet there is a new breed of so-called property experts emerging. So, what's the threshold for being able to call yourself an expert? Usually, experts have years of experience in their chosen profession. They're at the top of their industry, and they shape the path of progress. And yet, there's no shortage of so-called "property experts" and buyers' agents whose only real experience seems to me they've done a short course and really love property. The rise of these so-called "advisors" coincided with the practice of personal branding on social media. While social media has undoubtedly created fantastic opportunities for real experts to connect and share their knowledge, it has also opened the floodgates for a tsunami of self-titled "property experts" looking to flog their books, consulting sessions, training programs, or online courses. So, in today's show, Mark Creedon and I are going to share some advice from Warren Buffett. As I said, don't take advice from somebody you wouldn't trade shoes with, and I bet you'd love to be in his position. The bottom line. These are only a few of the thoughts from probably the most quoted investor. I could easily have made the list twice as long but use these as motivation to think differently.

It's been an interesting few weeks full of economic news which has led to a lot of uncertainty about the future of our economy and our property markets. If you're a regular listener you'd know that once a month I catch up with leading economic commentator Pete Wargent for these Big Picture podcasts when we look at the macro factors affecting our economy and our property markets, and we've got a lot to discuss today. Interesting, only a couple of minutes after we recorded this show, the Queensland Government did a backflip and repealed its outrageous Land Tax, so even though we spend a couple of minutes talking about this in today's show, this tax is no longer a concern, however the underlying tendency for Governments to see property investors as an ATM hasn't really gone away. And in other good news Governor Philip Lowe is easing his foot off the economic brake to take time to assess the impact of the most aggressive monetary policy tightening since the early 1990s. The RBA sensibly dropped back to a 0.25% hike this month taking the cash rate to 2.6%. While it's likely we'll have one or two more 0.25% rate hikes, it looks like the peak of interest rate increases is in sight, and in today's show you'll hear Pete Wargent and me give you our thoughts on what that means for our property markets. I also chat with Pete about the latest US inflation figures and interest rate hikes there which spooked the markets as there was no sign that underlying inflation is abating and the probability of a recession in the USA increasing. You may remember that Reserve Bank Governor Philip Lowe warned that a deteriorating global economy would make it hard for Australia to achieve a "soft landing" due to the economic buffeting that is underway. At the same time, he also said he would not be surprised if house prices fall 10 per cent from their peak. But then only a day later Jonathan Kearns Head of Domestic Markets at the RBA suggested the falls could be 15%. But I don't necessarily agree with them, and I explain why in today's show.
