Property Hub - Investment Insights & Inspiration

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.

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.

Building on our previous episode on property management, expert Deniz Yusuf joins us to talk about how investors can get control of, and optimise, their property management.  If you tuned in last week you’ll already appreciate how critical property management is to your success as a property investor. But I don’t want you to just take my word for it – it’s more important that you hear it from an industry leading professional. So this week we commence with Part 1 of a 2 part interview with Deniz Yusuf, a proven industry professional who has achieved great things himself and is now an inspirational property management trainer and coach through his Inspired Growth Training and BDM Coaching programs. Deniz is an internationally recognised consultant who now coaches, trains, mentors and presents to property managers and agents across Australia, New Zealand and the United States. And unlike many “experts” with a long academic pedigree, Deniz earned his stripes on the ground - his property management expertise was gained over years getting his hands dirty in the trenches of rental properties where he successfully listed 925 new property managements from an astonishing 1077 presentations in under four years, which is a staggering 86% strike rate, based on his advanced skills and unique approach. Deniz now strives at assessing property management teams and finding the ‘blockage’ in an office that may be stopping them from achieving their goals. After it’s fixed, it’s then about continued consulting and mentoring so they can become the best in their field. The impressive line-up of clients that Deniz has consulted with and presented to include the largest conferences in Australasia, including realestate.com.au, The McGrath Group, First National, LJ Hooker, Harcourts, the Real Estate Institutes of Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia, as well as keynote presentations to leading property management forums in the United States and many more. Deniz and his partners in crime, train well over 200 real estate offices globally through their Inspired Growth Training Inner Circle Membership platform. His focus is now helping property management offices to grow their businesses by creating superior client experiences, and mentoring property managers to become market leaders in their area. As you can hear, Deniz has a wealth of expertise and a proven track record in the challenging world of property management. So in part 1 of our great discussion today, you’ll get to enjoy Deniz’s journey that has led him to become Australia’s pre-eminent property management trainer, including: How his early days as a fruito and vacuum cleaner salesmen along with his love of music has shaped his unique property management approach, so listen out for what he means when he says there are no emails in fruit. He unpacks his astonishing ability to break records listing rentals and how he did it. And he takes us through the trials and tribulations of his own property investment journey, including renovations, commercial property, SMSFs which you’ll gain a heap of lessons from. He also shares his best and worst investments and biggest mistakes along the way. Enjoy part 1, and stay tuned for part 2.

Property management is essential for success as a property investor, yet it is much harder than most expect. Bushy Martin shares his key insights, traps to watch out for and top tips. If you’re a long term property investor who is focused on securing high capital growth properties that are cash flow positive, where will most of the time, energy and cost be spent on holding and maintaining your property?  If you spend between 3 and 12 months securing your investment property and then rent it out, maintain it and hold it for 15 years plus to enjoy maximum capital growth, what key skill is required for the majority of the time to ensure you last the distance? What property expertise is most needed but least considered and appreciated? Now, the answer to all of these three questions is the same: property management.  In this episode, I share my property management insights from 30 years in property, in the lead up to my interview with property management guru Deniz Yusuf.

The conversation with property negotiator Scott Aggett continues, focusing on how negotiation can help you navigate a hot property market. Given the limited supply of properties compared to the massive current demand, finding good quality properties and then being able to outsmart the competing hordes to get the property, many of whom are still prepared to pay way beyond expectations, is proving to be slow painstaking, stressful and very frustrating hard work. So how do you separate yourself from the FOMO buying pack? How do you successfully outsmart your competition and level the playing field with sellers agents to find, negotiate and secure a property in hyper competitive conditions? How can you position yourself to ensure that your offer is more appealing to the selling agent and property seller than anyone else? What should and shouldn’t you be doing to best position yourself in these highly contested conditions? If you’ve already listened to part 1 of Scott Aggett’s conversation on last week’s episode along with his inspiration for my separate deep dives on transparency and the power of silence in negotiation as part of the new and improved Get Invested format, then I know you’ll be bursting at the seams to enjoy today’s concluding segment that will help you answer these vexing questions. So during our ear opening chat, Scott reveals the strategies, tactics and tricks that selling agents use to put buyers at a disadvantage as well as how you can notice and avoid them. He shows you how you can build rapport with selling agents in order to glean as much info as possible. Along with what questions you do and don’t ask a selling agent. We talk about what information you shouldn’t be telling selling agents. Scott covers the other negotiation points a buyer can use to get their offer to stand out and be more appealing to both the agent and the selling vendor. He also covers the best negotiation approach for the different methods of sale, including private treaty, auction strategies and the popular best offer buy approach, together with a stack of other negotiation gold.

Powerful people impress by saying less. Bushy Martin talks about why silence should be one of your most important strategic attributes.  As the old saying goes, even a fool can appear wise if they keep their mouth shut. Silence is a powerful negotiation tool, it encourages active listening skills and helps you absorb what you're hearing, and there are many other benefits of strategic silence. How can you successfully apply the silent treatment?
