Property Hub - Investment Insights & Inspiration

Top investment analyst and property expert Pete Wargent is back on Get Invested to talk about how to handle Australia’s investment boom. Will the boom continue? Are we in a bubble? Will it burst and if so when? Who do you turn to in order to find out? Certainly not the mainstream media unless you want to continue to scare yourself sick, because their only remaining currency to stall their pending demise and attract and engage your ears and eyeballs is to peddle you a continuous diet of sensationalist fear and greed – a nutritionless fast food diet that will leave you overburdened but undernourished, leaving you burnt out, broken and broke. So where do you turn? Who can you talk to that has a deep understanding and almost intuitive knowledge of the full spectrum of global and local economics and their relationship and impact on current and future shares and property markets?  Someone who doesn’t have a conflict of interest, a bias or a vested interest but can give you real independent and objective views to help you make better informed investment decisions?  For my money, the best person to avoid the fear factory fiction and give you the unadulterated facts and meaningful insights is our Get Invested regular, Pete Wargent. As well as being one of Australia’s brightest financial minds, Pete’s well known to us here on Get Invested as a six-time published finance author and leading investment analyst on the back of his work as an active investor, property 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. Like yours truly, he is on a mission to wake up and shake up hard working Australians to get invested beyond super in order to attain and maintain your ideal lifestyle long term, and to educate you with quality information so that you can make fully informed investment decisions. His recent book, Low Rates High Returns, written with Stephen Moriarty, gives you a timeless investment strategy to navigate and outperform in the decade ahead. The broad goal of the book is to have you develop a rigorous systematic approach to investing. Pete is confident that combining a philosophy of investing with both the thought and action principles will enhance your investment success.  I talk through the key learnings from this book in more detail throughout this episode.  If you want to find out how to apply his eight timeless principles in practice, grab yourself a copy of Low Rates High Returns and then you can use this together with the insights that Pete shares with us in our great conversation today to de-risk and boost your investment results and grow your wealth.  So in today’s very informative conversation we move from the macro to the micro across equities and property markets to give you all the information to make better informed decisions, as we discuss: The major macro economic trends globally and locally What international macroeconomic issues are likely to have the most impact on Australia moving forward What ongoing impact, if any, will China’s policy changes have on our economy? Will the current strength in the economy last?  What are the biggest economic risks that need to be considered that are likely to impact on investment markets? What impact if any is the ongoing Covid challenge having? What are the current drivers of our investment and property market cycles? Where are the opportunities in property and equities markets?   We get Pete’s read on asset bubbles and pending busts We gauge Pete’s thoughts on the impacts, if any, of immigration policy, employment rates, inflation and interest rate policy, and rises in employment, and their impact on investment markets Pete shares his views on government and central bank approaches to asset prices and potential interventions moving forward We get his outlook for property in the short, medium and long term We discuss potential macroprudential policy interventions and interest rates moving forward and its impact on property markets And with interest rates at all time lows and likely to remain there for most of the next decade, Pete reveals what impact this will have on investment and property strategies On the property front, he outlines locations where clients are buying and seeing value He discusses the merits and drawbacks of buying property interstate and becoming a Borderless Investor He outlines what negotiation strategies can buyers use to secure properties in a hot sellers market And we conclude with a discussion on why don't more property buyers using a Buyers Agent And to help property buyer’s level the playing field, Pete has recently launched a new national buyers agent business ‘Buyers Buyers’ that is harnessing the knowledge of Australia's leading buyers agents at a price every Aussie home buyer can afford. We chat about how you can take advantage of this today, because in the current sellers market, there has never been a greater need to have a good buyers agent on your side.

Paul Roos is an AFL legend, regarded as one of the game's all time great leaders and mentors.  He famously led Sydney to their first premiership in 72 years (including the club's South Melbourne era), which came just three years after the Swans finished bottom of the ladder. How did the Sydney Swans achieve this? What did Paul, as a newly appointed coach, think and do that separated him from everyone else at the time? How did he do it? But before Paul was anointed as the Swan’s coach for his first full season in 2002, he was a decorated player and captain with a very impressive record of peak performance over a long period of time. He played 356 AFL games over 17 seasons kicking 289 goals and collecting an impressive array of accolades along the way, including 5 best and fairest club awards, the league’s most valuable player award, he represented Victoria on 14 occasions in State of Origin, he achieved 7 All Australian selections, he won the 1986 Leigh Matthews Medal and was runner up in the coveted Brownlow Medal the same year, which is the leagues best player for the season.  Paul had enjoyed a stellar ride as a high performing player and captain, but he was still well and truly a rookie coach when he won the Senior Coach mantel with the Swan’s in 2002. So, as a relative newcomer to leadership in the intensely pressured AFL environment where you live under a microscope for everyone to see from the 24/7 media exposure, how did he manage to take a long suffering club to the pinnacle of success in just three seasons? We discuss Paul's principles for success, covering peak performance, sustainable success, leadership, mindfulness and mental health. Just some of the talking points include: Roosy’s definition of sustainable success The criticality of developing systems The leadership scapegoating epidemic The need for role modelling The absence of and the importance of accountability The importance of personal health to your success in all aspects of your life The impact of meditation on performance And much much more. Enjoy this incredible conversation! Paul's book recommendation: Way Of The Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman More resources: Performance by Design: And if you or your organisation is looking to improve your peak performance by design then reach out to Paul and his team at Performance By Design at www.performancebydesign.co Nuture Change: If you’re looking to strengthen the self and health aspects of your success and incorporate well being into your behaviours, then reach out to Paul and his wife Tami’s Nurture Group at www.nurturechange.com which also includes www.nurture360.com.au and www.nurtureher.com Freedom Flight Series: And if your peak performance and living by design includes investing in property to grow your wealth and replace your income so you can live more and work less, whether you’re just starting out or an existing investor looking to better optimise your portfolio, come and join me for our live interactive KnowHow Freedom Flight Information Sessions where I’ll personally guide you through my proven process for property investment success.  To book your ticket or to find out more, just jump onclick here https://knowhowproperty.com.au/freedom-fighters The Freedom Formula: If you’re a reader looking for a GPS roadmap on how to achieve long term sustainable success, grab a copy of my award winning book The Freedom Formula at bushymartin.com.au/books, where you can also get a free copy of the prequel Get Invested.

We start this week off by answering the question, how much will this property sell above the quoted price? To help us answer this question we are joined by leading buyers agent, Cate Bakos. There are clear signs of FOMO and lots of speculation carrying across the country with the property at the moment. To avoid buyers making bad decisions, best to adopt the military approach. To discuss how you can do this, Lachlan Vidler from ATLAS Property Group Buyers Agency. Many sophisticated medium-scale Australian and overseas investors are struggling to access good property funds, but that has just changed. Nick Browne of Jameson Capital joins us to discuss how we can take advantage of this great opportunity. To close off the show, Bushy answers the question, whether you're better off to pay off your home loan or to invest.
