Property Hub - Investment Insights & Inspiration

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! Get unblocked in 15 minutes If you want to change your life in 15 minutes with a visualisation recording that’s aimed at unblocking parts of your subconscious so that you can fulfil your potential, Dr Simone is giving Get Invested listeners a special opportunity to start the process by emailing her at: info@afreshapproach.com.au Or hopping on her website and sending her a message at: www.afreshapproach.com.au New - join our Facebook group, The Property Hub Collective: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1857513011165686  Join the Property Hub community on Substack!

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. Enjoy the discussion.

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.

There is a lot of talk about AI - Artificial Intelligence.  The way we buy and sell real estate has not changed in almost 40 years - since the internet impacted the process. AI will change that!  Kylie Davis is a leading authority on the Australian proptech landscape and the founder and president of the Proptech Association of Australia.  Property is a massive, fragmented industry overdue for an upgrade.  Make no mistake - the real estate industry will be affected by AI.  So too, will buyers and sellers.  One of our sponsors - Realty.com.au this week launched AI powered Discovery Search which will change how we find the home we are looking for.  We will tell you more about Realty’s Discovery Search next week.

A few weeks ago property investors from around Australia and New Zealand gathered to swap ideas, network, and listen to some very knowledgeable speakers share their experiences at the inaugural PIPA Conference.  One of those keynote speakers was the previous Property Investment Professionals of Australia or PIPA Chair and continuing board member Peter Koulizos - also known as the Property Professor - who took everyone on a property and location masterclass. Our own Bushy Martin was the emcee at the event and was so impressed with the information Peter went through that he invited Peter to join him in a full Realty Talk show and today is the day.  So get your note paper and pen out because you are about to hear some very powerful insights.

Instead of having property loans draining your income for 30 years, imagine paying them off in just a fraction of that time. It's possible, and Serina Bird reveals how.  Serina (who first joined Get Invested back on episode 129) is a finance writer, podcaster and author who is a self-made millionaire who now helps people save money and live more meaningful lives. She is the host of The Joyful Frugalista podcast and author of The Joyful Frugalista and The Joyful Startup Guide. She writes a regular column with Money Magazine that encourages people to spend less and save more (with joy) on the path to financial empowerment. The latest ABS Census confirms that about 35% of Australia's 9.8 million homes are owned with a mortgage, and a recent report indicates that on average, home loaners currently need to spend between 40-45% of their income on mortgage repayments. Now the national average mortgage level has increased by 36% since 2018 to around $600K according to the latest ABS figures, which means that repayments are now about $3,600 dollars each and every month, based on a principle and interest loan at 6% - this is a big chunk of anyone’s income. And most Aussies are stuck with this noose around their necks for 25 - 30 years! But as Serina reveals today, it doesn't have to be that way. She says there are a myriad of ways that you can knock big holes in your home loan and pay it off much sooner, without limiting your lifestyle.
