Property Hub - Investment Insights & Inspiration

Luke Harris talks about how investors can get 'property fit' and go the distance on their journey to sustainable success. Are you fit? Do you work out daily and have a regular exercise regime that ensures that have the strength and resilience to enjoy a long and healthy life? Or do you start out with good intentions but the pressures and urgencies of life get in the way? And what about your property investment? Are you property fit with a similar dedicated plan and process supported by daily disciplines, or are you more of a slap happy occasional part time investor that fits things in around the demands of your life? Being property fit is a good description of what it takes to be a successful investor and it also happens to be the title of the second book from our guest, Luke Harris.    Luke is an active investor, who like your’s truly, has made a lot of investment mistakes along the way but these have become the greatest source of learning and improvement that has ultimately been documented in books that you can learn from. Part 1 of my great chat with Luke unpacks his own personal property investment journey. As you’re about to hear, with big dreams, persistence and a can-do attitude, Luke now has over two decades of property investing experience and success. He’s built an enviable property portfolio and acquired an extraordinary depth and breadth of experience across business, property and investing along the way. Enjoy, and don't miss Part 2 coming up!

Since the advent of covid, there’s been a lot of talk about the exodus from our cities to lifestyle locations and the rise of the regions. But is this sustainable, will there be a post-pandemic boomerang back to the burbs, and is the rise of the regions all that it’s been cracked up to be? Jane Slack-Smith from Your Property Success joins us to balance the conversation. The recent surge in property values across the country means the runaway train of housing accessibility is getting further beyond reach so to discuss an innovative solution to the growing deposit hurdle, we’re joined by the CEO of Coposit Chris Ferris in part 1 of a 2 part Realty Talk feature.

Accomplished CEO Peter Meek has rebuilt his wealth after losing it all in the Global Financial Crisis. He shares critical investment and life lessons. How much do you focus on your work and how much do you understand & actively manage your investments? Many of us start out thinking that if we just invest everything in our work and careers and become successful in this one single area of our lives, then everything else will just fall into place and fortune and fame will follow. Just work hard, become good at what you do and everything else will take care of itself. Blind faith and disinterested trust is a dangerous combination when it comes to securing your future. As I repeatedly say in my book The Freedom Formula, I can’t emphasise enough how important it is to invest in your investment knowledge so that you understand where you or others are investing your hard earned coin so you understand the risks as well as the rewards, and then you need to actively manage your managers to keep them accountable, because at the end of the day, the buck stops with you. And someone who understands these lessons intimately is today’s special guest Peter Meek. As you're about to hear, Peters a highly accomplished CEO and Company Director who lost all of his wealth during the GFC and has successfully rebuilt it, by becoming an active self accountable international investor across multiple asset classes. Enjoy his incredible story and key lessons learned.   Freedom Formula Flight Program: If you’re fired up about investing in your education and taking your property investment to the next level, no matter where you’re at, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned investor that’s struggling with your portfolio, come and join me on our unique Property Freedom Formula Flight program, where I’ll personally guide you through our proven process for property investment success and/or complete a review of your current portfolio to see how you can improve it, how you can reduce your costs and how you can increase your property purchasing power.    To book your free ticket or to find out more, just go to click here.

As property values have risen between 20-30% across the country over the last 12 months, what impact has this had on the wealth gap between genders? Core Logic’s Head of Research Eliza Owen joins us to discuss this based on her recently released 2022 Women & Property Report. Recent data reveals that 1.62 million Australian households are looking to downsize their homes over the next 5 years, but what type of properties are they looking for and how do they navigate the financial roadblocks to make this transition? Mark Macduffie from Downsizer.com joins us to talk about solutions to this growing challenge. How a property management office is structured has a big impact on your landlord or tenant experience so our host Bushy Martin concludes the show by continuing our special series on property management by revealing the differences between pods and portfolios.  RealtyTalk is your trusted voice in property investment and Australia’s most popular online property show.  RealtyTalk is brought to you by Realty, Australia’s leading search and social property distribution platform that helps investors like you beat the crowd, giving you the earliest access to property opportunities, listings, and insights.

My Millennial Money host, author and retired financial adviser Glen James reveals ‘no BS’ insights for getting your finances back on track. Do you have your money sorted out? Are you invested? I don't mean this roughly or vaguely, I'm talking about having a spending plan, dealing with consumer debt, key insurances in place, estate planning set up and a rainy day fund in case of emergencies.  If this is a wake up call, you're like most Aussies ... and you've got some work to do! If you don’t have your sound financial house built on strong unshakeable foundations, there’s no point in putting the cart before the horse and investing in property or shares or crypto, because like two out of the three little pigs who built their houses out of straw and sticks, your financial house will blow over and crumble before your very eyes as soon as the winds of adversity blow and the wolf huffs and puffs. So, if like most, your financial house isn’t in order, and your gold encrusted investments are resting on a fragile house of cards, where do you turn, to build and/or rebuild your financial foundations? This is where our very special guest Glen James comes to your rescue. Now for most of you who love money and investment podcasts, Glen needs no introduction.  At the ripe old age of just thirty something, Glen James is a retired financial adviser with experience helping countless people get on top of their finances and is host of the top-rating my millennial money podcast along with a family of other related millennial podcasts, that don’t just talk to millennials but anyone who is keen to get on top of their money and investments.  With his own personal financial success behind him, Glen shares my passion to help you, your friends, family and others to achieve financial freedom.  As you’ll hear, his informative approach is light-hearted, dry, tinged with a touch of sarcasm and fun, while still managing to cover sensitive and important topics in an engaging way.  Glen is the author of Sort Your Money Out and Get Invested - far from a dry, boring finance book, it’s a cracking, entertaining and super practical guide that outlines everything you need to do to secure your financial future. And to really whet your appetite for this book, Glen talks today about many of his approaches including: Setting up your spending plan as opposed to budgets that suck The problems with what he calls ‘budget baggage’ Creating a sound financial house His simple 3 step financial plan The importance of automated systems for anything and everything alongside the criticality of habits and behaviours And we enjoy a fun chat about what he calls LOOT - or Living On Own Terms, which is his version of FIRE or the Financial Independence Retire Early movement plus a bunch more. Enjoy the chat and go ahead and grab his book now. ‘Sort Your Money Out and Get Invested’ book: If you enjoyed our conversation today and you want to learn more from Glen, you can grab a copy of his book ‘Sort Your Money Out and Get Invested’ on Amazon and all good book stores, or you can get it directly from Glen on his website www.sortyourmoneyout.com.

What do we have for you this week?   Is it too early to call a halt to the property boom? Who really knows? Everyone has an opinion and at the end of the day, only time will tell.  There are so many unknowns and this week we added a new big unknown – a federal election.  There is no doubt in my mind we are seeing a shift in market conditions as we move from a seller-controlled market to one dictated by buyers.  Buyside’s Josh Masters monthly review of market conditions gives some interesting insights and clues on what to look for. If you think the downsizing trend has been staggering up to now then brace yourself.  It is estimated that a staggering 1.6 million Aussies aged between 58 and 76 will downsize in the next 5 years. Bushy Martin catches up with Mark Macduffie, author of a report from downsizing.com, as he reveals a solution to a problem facing many of them.  Find out what that problem is in a moment and hear the solution.

Business leader Kerry Swan joins the podcast to talk about why leading from the heart helps you lead yourself, and others. Are you a leader? If you said no, then I’m going to challenge you because we are all leaders, whether we recognise it or not. Our entire lives are about personal leadership, whether we’re leading others or ourselves. In any and all of these situations you need to invest in your head and your heart, to make the big decisions, to make the right decisions and then invest in action. But many traditional top down command and control approaches to leadership fall short – and this is where Kerry Swan and her unique approach to investing in heartfelt leadership comes to your rescue. Kerry is built for business and leadership. Having survived two business start-ups and the volatility of business in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, she understands, personally, the realities and frustrations of business and leading a team through change. Kerry’s a born and bred project manager from the bush, whose entrepreneurial spirit, coaching skills and love of property now sees her leading four diverse family businesses across real estate, earthmoving and agribusiness with a team of more than thirty five people. And among all of this, Kerry’s managed to write and publish her new book on investing in heartfelt leadership, which teaches you how to lead yourself by getting clear about what you want in your life, as well as leading others in the way they want to be led. Enjoy the discussion! Get Heartfelt Leadership: Visit www.kerryswan.com to order Kerry's book.

With a federal election in the air and much talk of interest rate hikes, what is happening with property around Australia? Core Logic’s Head of Research Eliza Owen joins us to unpack the latest Home Value Index.  As devasting floods & extreme weather continue to dog the East Coast of Australia, Mickael Roger from PropHero joins us for a timely discussion on the increasing impacts of climate change on property markets and what it means to you.

Continuing the focus on property management for investors, Bushy Martin talks about how to find the right property manager. Last week the focus was on the pros and cons of self managing versus professionally managing your investment property. This is inspired by the Get Invested interview with Deniz Yusuf of Inspired Growth Training - you’ll really enjoy the second half of his great conversation in the upcoming episode where he deep dives into the details of property management. So to further set the scene, how do you go about finding a great property manager as opposed to an average one? Or knowing whether your current property manager is good, great or otherwise? The unfortunate reality is that the average life of a property manager in many real estate offices is just six months, in many states across Australia – having someone new manage your property twice a year is a real headache.  Tune in to find out everything you need to know about selecting the right property manager. Need property management help? If property management selection all sounds too hard and too time consuming, reach out to Sonya Martin at hello@knowhowproperty.com.au and for a small fee for service investment, Sonya and her team can do it all for you, to ensure your most expensive asset is protected and maintained by engaging a great property manager – it will be the best thing that you do for yourself over and above securing your property.
