Property Hub - Investment Insights & Inspiration

We kick off with leading property manager Jamie Billerwell from the Code Property Group who has found that rental enquiry is declining in Qld despite recent figures recording the fastest national rise in rents & demand in the Sunshine State.  As an investor, how do you make sense of the confusing & conflicting deluge of data to find the best property for you? Mickael Roger from proptech disruptor Prop Hero joins us to show how AI is transforming property search and selection.

Property negotiator Scott Aggett talks about the power of transparency to unlock opportunity in property and life. And as you heard in the previous episode on transparency, Scott has disrupted the property industry by becoming the first dedicated property negotiator to cost effectively help you get the best price for the property you want to buy. Scott and his Hello Haus team are professional property negotiators who have successfully negotiated over 3,000 property purchases and they charge you a comparatively low fee results based fee to do all of the negotiating on a property that you want to purchase. And he continues to achieve great results for property buyers.  Scott and his team save you and other property buyers and sellers money, stress and time with transparent processes that work for you. Leveraging over two decades of real estate agent experience, and having operated on all sides of property transactions as a vendor, purchaser, agent and investor, Scott understands all sides of the property purchase equation. Scott gets you exceptional results – and in the process he’s turning the industry on its head. And it is important to stress from the outset that Scott is not a buyer’s agent, he’s a Professional Property Negotiator. Now during part 1 of our engaging conversation, you get to learn from Scott’s own property journey that has led to the creation of Hello Haus and his unique property negotiation solution. In addition to discussing the need for transparency in the property industry, Scott outlines his personal and professional property journey and the learnings that have come from this. He also shares his biggest property mistakes and biggest wins. He raises the interesting concept of backending your life while also sharing his vision to see others thrive in the market.  He’s an absolute wealth of knowledge about how to strike a deal and what it takes to be successful in property and our great conversation today will get you excited about all of the property buying and negotiating tips, tricks and traps that he shares in detail in the following episode.

In this episode, Bushy Martin talks about the importance of transparency in property dealings, business and life.  The Business Dictionary defines transparency as a “lack of hidden agendas or conditions, accompanied by the availability of full information required of collaboration, cooperation, and collective decision making.” In other words, as Maggie Campbell explained in an article about transparency, you need to ‘say what you mean, mean what you say, and do what you say you’ll do." This sounds simple, but in practice it proves much more difficult. People and organisations often struggle with consistently following through on all three elements of this transparency equation. For me, I would go further to say that transparency is not about providing all of the information, as this would bury people in endless complexity and confusion, but its about providing enough of the right information for another party to make good and fully informed decisions. Hear more about transparency, and how it can transform your world, in this episode ... and stay tuned for the upcoming interview with Scott Aggett.

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. And if you’re looking to get on your own two feet by investing in property, no matter where you’re at, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned investor that is struggling with your portfolio, I’d like to invite you to join me on our unique KnowHow 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 capacity.  To book your free ticket or find out more, just click here https://knowhowproperty.com.au/freedom-fighters.

When it comes to what’s likely to happen with property in the future, given its meteoric rise across the board last year, it seems that everyone’s an expert but none more so than Pete Wargent from Buyers Buyers who shares his thoughts on where the property is heading this year. What’s the cost of ignorance? In hyper-competitive seller's markets, many property buyers end up buying anything they can get their hands on close to home, without having an investment plan and without understanding the risks, so to help you avoid these common property mistakes, Lloyd Edge from Aus Property Professionals concludes Part 2 of our special feature.  Have slippery shoe salespeople selling substandard properties using your super tarnished the benefits of securing properties in an SMSF? To round out the show Super Guru Darren Kingdon of Kingdon Financial Services joins us to discuss the good, bad & ugly of purchasing SMSF properties.

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.
