It can be incredibly difficult to recover from divorce, emotionally and financially. Financial expert Helen Baker talks about how to bounce back. Relationship problems often start with money. According to the finder.com.au survey, 1 in 4 Australians has lied to a partner about money or been lied to about finances. The Finder survey also found that men are twice as likely to lie about their money, with 20% of men saying they have been untruthful to their significant other, compared to 9% of women. While men are impacted, women are hit hardest. Unfortunately, the gender pay gap and maternity leave alongside increasing rates of divorce and separation, mean that one in three women stop work with no retirement savings at all and those that do manage to save, often end up with less than half the retirement funds of males.  So what can hard working Aussie women and those that care about them do about it? This is where today’s special guest Helen Baker and her great book On Your Own Two Feet comes to the rescue. Helen is not your typical financial planner. She’s a qualified, practising and licensed financial adviser and founder of her business that has the same name as her books, an Australia-wide service dedicated to empowering women to gain and retain their financial freedom.  Helen has two Masters degrees, one in Financial Planning and the other in Innovation and Change Management, as well as a Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting) degree. Helen is a regular panellist talking money matters on all major Australian and New Zealand television stations and her expert opinions are regularly sought after by national radio, magazines and newspapers. Along with divorce, Helen talks about life events that can force a rethink – whether they’re experiences that can make you feel like the rug has been pulled from under you or life stages such as preparing to retire.  In this interview, we cover all the big issues including: - Stretching strategies for living single - Managing money as a couple based on your money styles - How to protect against STD or Sexually Transmitted Debt - Saving tips and tricks to set you up for life - Parenting and pets considerations - Mid life gap year adventure travels - Escaping to the country - Personal injury and terminal Illness impacts - Aged Care options - and Widowhood And much more. Achieving all we want to be, inevitably requires some expert support, guidance and advice. In this regard, On Your Own Two Feet celebrates individuality while helping you be the best you can be financially. You can check out the books here.

One of the biggest barriers to growth for property investors is access to cash. So if you’re out of savings, equity or ideas, what can you do? Our guest Godfrey Dinh shares his insights. If you’re an investor who wants to build your portfolio but have hit a cash wall, you could start saving furiously by living on a budget of baked beans and dog food … but this is likely to take years unless you’re getting large lumpy and consistent bonuses. You can wait for your existing properties to go up in value sufficiently to create the equity deposit, but this generally takes years as well. You can roll the dice and investigate the time and headache of refinancing with the possibility that another lender’s valuation will come in higher and give you enough equity for your next deposit. Or there’s risky loans from family or friends, expensive personal loans or selling one of your existing properties, but all of these strategies are fraught with danger. So what do you do? This is where Godfrey Dinh and his disruptive industry innovation of Futurerent comes in. Godfrey’s an experienced property investor on a mission to revolutionise residential rent. He has over 15 years’ experience in property investment and finance professionally and personally, for organisations such as Deutsche Bank and Investec, as well as buying and selling his own investment properties in Australia and the USA, which led him to create Futurerent. So what is Futurerent? Futurerent gives you, as a property investor, your rent in advance - giving you access to up to $100,000 for each rental property you own fast and simply, to help purchase another property. Or you can access up to one year of rent in advance if you’re looking to renovate your home or investment property, invest in a business or buy shares.  Created specifically for property investors, Futurerent is a loan free financing solution with no interest, no hidden fees and no credit impact – and you can access the money in just two business days!  Godfrey and his team have cut out all of the typical drawbacks of traditional finance as they simply provide investors with access to their rent in advance, rather than have to jump through all of the hoops while being a contortionist to lend money.  And the good news is that you still receive ongoing rental income through the term and you have the ability to pause installments if your tenant vacates and stops paying rent. So if you’re a property investor who is looking for quick and easy access to equity funds to secure your next property or for other worthwhile purposes, check out www.futurerent.com.au.

Last year was a truly remarkable year in property, so what lessons did we learn from it that will guide us in the year ahead? To discuss the year that was and then the year that will be, Realty Talk regular Simon Pressley from Propertyology joins us for part one of a 2 part special feature. Most investors tend to focus on how much money they’re likely to make without properly considering the risks and how to protect their investments, so to balance the books, Darren Kingdon from Kingdon Financial Services does a deep dive on property risk management. In the cut and thrust world of property management, the old days of tenants responding to letting ads in the paper have long gone as social media and tech continue to transform the industry. To discuss this tech transformation and close out the show, we’re joined by Adam Hinds from Sorted Services who works closely with property managers and are Australia’s first all-in-one home services marketplace.

What in the world is going on in global and local investment markets? Top analyst Pete Wargent provides his outlook. What is likely to happen in the world this year? What does this mean for global and local equities and property investment markets? How does this affect you as an investor? What do you do, and what don’t you do this year? On the surface these appear like relatively simple questions but the answers are never easy and are increasingly difficult to predict given the complex and growing myriad of interdependent dynamics that are constantly changing at break neck speed, given our global connectedness and ‘always on’ world that we currently live in. Now despite media commentary trying to keep us scared, nervous and anxious, I believe there's a growing air of optimism about 2022 as we climb out of the pandemic. That said, many challenges remain globally. So where does this leave us as investors? We need to turn off the noise of mainstream media and turn to wise investment specialists who have a long and proven track record of investment success. And that’s exactly what I’ve been helping you with during the recent Summer Series which culminates and concludes in today’s chat with Get Invested favourite and regular Pete Wargent, whose credentials across both property and equities in Australia and overseas are second to none. Pete is one of Australia’s brightest financial minds, a six-time published finance author and leading investment analyst on the back of his work as an active investor in equities and property, a buyer’s agent, strategist and mentor, where he uses his tried and tested strategies to assist you in achieving your financial goals across the broad spectrum of property and equities. His national Buyers Agent business Buyers Buyers is harnessing the knowledge of Australia's leading buyer's agents at a price every Aussie homebuyer can afford in order to secure quality properties, and his partnership with Steve Moriarty is helping equities investors with their Next Level Wealth venture. So let’s now turn our attention back to a broader outlook on the year ahead in equities and property investment markets to help you make better investment decisions with Pete Wargent.

Buying a home during the boom continues to be challenging, particularly if your purchase relies on the sale of your current house. No one is interested in the subject to sale conditions. To get around this, emerging lender Techlend is disrupting the bridging loan space with a new solution that can be preapproved in an hour! So to continue our discussion on this lending innovation in the second part of our 2 part feature, the CEO of Techlend Aaron Bassin completes the picture. A lot of property industry commentators slam the idea of investing in new build homes in new fringe suburbs.    Is this criticism well-founded or perhaps misguided?  We discuss that with the CEO of The Property Mentors, Luke Harris. And with so much scare-mongering hitting the news about rising interest rates recently, the show closes with Bushy balancing the books by exploring if and when rates will rise and what it means to you.

As we continue our summer series in partnership with Realty Talk, Australia’s top online property show hosted by Bushy Martin, where we’ve been talking with independent industry leaders about where Australian property is heading in 2022, this episode we share insights from the 2022 Bricks & Mortar Media Property Market Forecasts report.

This is followed by a great chat with Kevin Brogan from national valuers Herron Todd White who makes us aware of VESPAs, so you’ll have to listen in to find out what this is.
