Property Hub - Investment Insights & Inspiration

Understanding access versus ownership as well as opportunity cost is key for investors. You have the option to pay less of your hard earned cash now to get access and control over an asset, while your remaining monies are invested elsewhere. By putting on a pair of investment glasses you can start to make your financial decisions differently, by asking yourself: How can I control and enjoy access to this asset now at minimal cost, while freeing up my funds to invest in other high growth opportunities? To talk about this and more is our guest, Michael Johnston.  Michael is the Director of National Direct Finance and a top asset finance broker. In an environment that is getting increasingly more complex and overwhelming, Michael and his team combine decades of experience across multiple lenders and loan solutions, helping you source, structure, negotiate and deliver the best available result to suit your specific needs. This week we unpack Michael's personal journey before we deep dive into the detail of asset finance in next week’s episode.

Could that special thing you're super passionate about also be your big investment opportunity? This is the case for Sarah and Matt Packwood-Hollings. Sarah and Matt are the founders of Alchymia Distillery, producing beautiful small batch handcrafted gin and single malt whisky on the rugged north-west coast of Tasmania.  The duo are the ultimate example of the power of two in action, merging their unique skills together to become a force in business and life.  And as you'll hear, property investment has been an enabler that has helped them fuel and invest in their life passion.  15 years ago Sarah and Matt moved to Australia from the UK and lived in the McLaren Vale region of South Australia, working in corporate roles until they decided to jump off the corporate bus and look for a business they could run together. As lovers of good produce, they found their way to whisky and gin.  The journey to find the 'right spot' to launch their distillery took four years, but they eventually landed at Table Cape in Tasmania with a 150 year old shed.  You're going to love their story.

The use of drugs - and in particular methamphetamine - is a growing concern generally, but particularly in the property investment area.  Unless you have a good property manager or you are testing yourself, chances are you won’t know until it's too late.  Being too late can cost thousands and might even mean total demolition of the property.   So would you be covered - how can you tell and what about the extended liability risks.  Bushy gets some expert opinion in the show.  He also seeks to find out from regular guest and a member of our experts panel Rasti, from Get RARE Property, what diversification looks like and the benefits.

Many property investors feel 'stuck' - knowing what to do, but unable to get off the merry-go-round. Dr Simone Boer reveals why, and how to unlock your full potential. As we continue to say, it is mindset that separates the successful from the rest. If it sounds a bit woo woo to you, it is all backed by neuroscience. And our guest, Simone, is living proof of transformational change in action through her impressive property investments that enable her life changing coaching work. As you’re about to hear, Simone’s career path has been anything but a straight line; think of it more like a thrilling rollercoaster through the worlds of neuroscience, business strategy, and now, life-changing coaching. Alongside her 9-to-5 adventures, Simone’s been a savvy player in the property game for over 15 years. She's juggled an investment portfolio across Australia's varied landscapes, finessed three subdivisions, and rolled up her sleeves for four renovations. Her latest move? Stepping into the commercial property arena. With an investment portfolio worth over $6 million and a relatively low level of debt, she's not just playing the game; she's acing it. Yet, the true spirit of Simone comes alive in her coaching. Imagine combining the braininess of a neuroscientist with the vision of a business strategist, all channeled into coaching that turns lives around. That's where her signature brain hacks come into play, giving people the tools to live their best lives. Simone’s property investments have given her the financial runway to focus on her passion: using brain science to help you unlock your fullest potential. Over the next two episodes, Simone talks about: Starting with belief, and then finding the way The importance of strategy and team Lasting transformational change only occurs when we do the work, and continue to do the work, to reprogram the subconscious And much more!

We continue the conversation on business succession with expert Bill Heestand. If the goal of investing your time, energy and money is ultimately to create an ongoing regular cash flow income that will continue to fuel your lifestyle long term, as a small business owner or employee, why wouldn’t you consider investing in your business to return for all the hard work and dedication? In Part 2 of our interview, Bill talks about how you can maximise that unrealized investment opportunity, your business, that you have more control overthan any other. During his 32 years in business, Bill has successfully bought and sold a small business not just once but four times that has grown wealth for the participants and created ongoing regular retirement income.

A savvy business succession strategy can set you up for retirement AND set up your key employees. Bill Heestand joins us to explain how. It is our 300th episode of Get Invested - wow, what an incredible milestone! Thank you for joining us on the journey.  And this episode is a special one.  While we talk about property investing for retirement, there's also saving for retirement and CREATING for retirement. Creating and selling a business can supercharge your investments and set you up for life after work.  Personally, I (Bushy) and my wife Sonya have been wresting with the question of how to bring our key employees on the journey with our company KnowHow Property - so we started working on a unique perpetual custodian business model (which I explain in this episode). That led us to Bill Heestand in the US.  He had written a great book called ‘The Ownership Ladder’ that has been rebadged as ‘The Ultimate Career Path - How A Smart Employee Can Buy Out The Boss’. And I’m excited that Bill has joined us on the show. Because if this perpetual custodian approach will work for our small boutique lifestyle business, then why not the business you’re involved in? If you’re one of the 2.5 million small business owners in Australia, or one of the 8 million small business employees, why not create a wealth building income for life by investing in your livelihood? If this is of interest to you as a small business owner or a small business employee looking to grow your wealth and lifestyle income opportunity in return for your years of hard work and dedication, then you are going to love our conversation today.   During his 32 years in business, Bill has successfully bought and sold a small business not just once but four times that has grown wealth for the participants and created ongoing regular retirement income, so I’m excited to deep dive on his own business investment journey and his book, which we’ll spread over the next two episodes.
