Property Hub - Investment Insights & Inspiration

The highly acclaimed and respected Dr Shane Oliver is living a life of noble purpose, and he shares how you can too. Shane was attracted to join AMP as an economist way back in the early 1980s on the strength of their stated noble purpose - Amicus certus, which is latin for ‘a sure friend in uncertain times’. And this is exactly what Shane has proved to be over the decades, where he has remained at AMP and risen to the highest ranks as their Head of Investment Strategy and Economics and their Chief Economist. He embodies this noble purpose and his constant enduring loyalty, humility, patience, persistence and reliability underpin the quality of his independent, objective and transparent insights and forecasts on the global economy and its impacts on all investment asset classes. I’ve been listening to Shane’s words of wisdom for decades now and they have always proved to be informative, accurate, and mostly on the money. You will struggle to find an economist and investor who adopts a consistently independent and objective view, so he is always worth listening to and I’m very humbled and honoured to have him on the show.     Shane is one of Australia’s longest running top economic and investment experts. He has extensive experience analysing economic and investment cycles and what current positioning means for the return potential for different asset classes such as shares, bonds, property and infrastructure. Shane is a regular media commentator on economic and investment market issues and engages regularly with investors at public events and forums. Shane is Head of the Investment Strategy and Economics team, responsible for the provision of economic and macro investment analysis which is applied across AMP Capital’s multi-asset funds. Shane has a PhD in economics which focussed on the validity of the Efficient Market Hypothesis and asset price bubbles. So if you’re looking to understand whats happening and what is likely to happen in our uncertain world and how this affects your investments, you are going to love this informative discussion where Shane talks about: How he helps make you a better investor The wall of worry and its impact His definition of economics, including positive versus normative economics, and its importance to your decision making The four types of assets, his view on crypto currencies  and what lies ahead in each asset class across equities and property in our post pandemic world Why downturns are so hard to predict The investment wisdom of Don Stammer, Jack Bogel and other investment greats A great overview of the economic and investment movements over the last 40 years as a context for what is happening now, what is likely to happen, and what you can and need to be doing about it And if, like me, you enjoy Shane’s insights today, make sure you follow him on Twitter at @shaneoliver, where he regularly updates you with Oliver’s Insights along with his weekly reports. And if you want some assistance in defining your noble purpose, grab a copy of my book The Freedom Formula by jumping on https://bushymartin.com.au/books/, where I devote a couple of chapters to giving you a step by step process to imagine and define your why and your life vision. Shane will tell you that there’s still lots of opportunities ahead for property investors in Australia.

Given the massive post covid new build housing stimulus via the Home Builder scheme and a raft of other programs including First Home Buyer grants, house, and land packages can seem very appealing to first home buyers.   But it is not for the faint-hearted.  Bushy kicks the show off this week by asking Julia Newbould from Money Magazine to share some of the tips and traps of homebuilding.  Staying on that subject, there’s been a substantial shift in demand for more affordable new build housing on the outskirts of our cities as a flow-on from the number of new build grants and incentives.   But many traditional suburban housing estates lack the intimate neighborhood experience that makes our inner cities so attractive.  Mike Day, a partner at award-winning national urban planning and design consultancy Hatch Roberts Day 5 key factors that can help transform these new areas by urbanizing the burbs. Despite a pick-up in new listings and a bottoming in fixed mortgage rates, home price gains remain very strong, with rising sales activity matching the increase in new listings. Housing finance commitments are at record highs.  So the question on everyone’s lips is, how long will the RBA allow this to continue and will they intervene?  Dr. Shane Oliver, Head of Investment Strategy and Chief Economist with AMP Capital answers that today. But first up, Bushy catches up with Julia Newbold with some sound advice for first-time buyers with a passion for everything new.

Scott O’Neill and his wife, Mina, are experienced, sophisticated and active property investors who retired from their day jobs at the tender age of 28! That’s a story worth exploring. They did it by investing in both residential property initially and then evolved into commercial property.  With a property portfolio that boasts in the order of 32 properties with a value of $22M releasing just under half a million in passive income every year, Scott’s and Mina’s passion, commitment and hard work has paid off in spades - so much so that they were able to take a six month sabbatical from working life and do nothing but travel Europe on the strength of their property portfolio passive income. They then got bored of the good life without purpose and fulfilment and decided to teach others how to reach the same property success, which is where their business Rethink Investing was born. And not just content with their own success, Scott and the Rethink Investing team have now helped over 1800 clients purchase in excess of $1 billion in real estate since 2015. Rethink Investing has also been recognised as a BRW Fast 100 company and has become Australia’s number one buyer’s agency for commercial property investors. So while there are certainly differences between residential and commercial property investment, the pros far outweigh the cons in the context of adding high cash flow assets into your portfolio mix, especially in the latter stages when you’ve built up significant, accessible equity in your residential portfolio like Scott and Mina did. And Scott and I are also of the same belief that investing now is one of the greatest opportunities we will ever see. With Scott’s commercial properties, they are seeing net yields of seven per cent plus, with commercial lending interest rates under three per cent.  That’s a massive four per cent gap! Historically, we expect to see a gap of two per cent.  This means that right now there’s the opportunity of a lifetime to get the best cash flow returns ever in commercial property.  This, in turn, should result in strong capital growth as the gap between these two metrics narrows. So Scott’s message is simple: Don’t think of commercial property as a risky investment just because we’re in a pandemic.  Scott’s team target the most resilient types of businesses. And as you’ll here during our chat today, Scott’s strategy of buying medical, logistics, and other essential services–type investments with strong tenants has proven to be very resilient.  And In recognition of their outstanding achievements in both residential and commercial property investment, in 2019 Your Investment Property awarded Scott ‘Strategic Property Investor Of The Year’. Scott is also the host of top rating podcast, Inside Commercial Property which you can find at https://www.rethinkinvesting.com.au/podcast/, while Scott and Mina are also the authors of the great book on commercial property investing, Rethink Property Investing. Grab yourself a free introductory chapter at https://www.rethinkinvesting.com.au/book/ by inserting the code (Bushy) in brackets alongside your name along with your email address. So in this episode we’re traversing the full ins and outs of Scott and Mina’s full journey through residential to commercial property and picking up some absolute gems, learnings, tips and tricks for you along the way, including: The impacts of a forever deadline The leverage benefit of property over shares How rentvesting was critical to establishing their property portfolio How to avoid red line stress when investing How to transition from residential to commercial property He dispels the common myths that are held around commercial We talk about how you can access syndicates to secure commercial property Scott outlines the benefits of a two speed portfolio He outlines their transition to retirement strategy He gives you a great run around the country on which areas he thinks are best to invest in And he highlights why now is actually a good time to get rid of and sell any dud properties you have in your portfolio that may be holding you back And much of Scott and Mina’s success is owed to the fact that they’ve always looked beyond their own backyard. Beyond their familiar territory in Sydney, and even beyond the traditional investment focus of residential property to commercial property. They like to do things differently, to challenge the status quo. They like to take calculated risks, and they soon realised that you can invest more successfully outside of where you live.  By looking beyond your own backyard, you can look to different asset classes to get you there, and discover that the local residential market is not the only way.  There is no doubt that today’s conversation will inspire you to go to the next level in your property investment.

If you decide to move into an investment property and it becomes your primary place of residence, you’ll need to declare this for tax purposes.  There are certain scenarios where an investor can end up living in an investment property, but it is important to be wary of the rules and regulations before doing so.   That is what Bushy discusses with Brad Beer from BMT.     The Australian housing market is booming with predictions that prices will rise by as much as 20% in total across this year and next. but one of Australia’s leading economists Dr. Shane Oliver, Head of Investment Strategy and Chief Economist AMP Capital believes the bull market may be getting close to the end, and when someone like Shane says that we listen.  Bushy talks to him about that.  According to the most recent Australian Taxation Office statistics, just 8.8% of Australians have an investment property.  That is just over 2 million investors ….. impressive. But dig deeper and we discover that the number of people who have scaled their portfolio is a small minority within a small minority.  The numbers Bushy discusses with Arjun Paliwal are very revealing.  And we round the show out with a piece of wisdom from Bushy that deals with allowable claims.  What costs can you recover from the taxman.

The annual growth rate of combined regional dwelling values at … 13%, was more than twice that of the capital cities in the 12 months to April according to CoreLogic.  Remarkably, rent values across the combined regional markets have outpaced capital city rents even more. Bushy Martin catches up with CoreLogic’s Eliza Owen to dig a bit deeper into the findings.     When the COVID pandemic struck and the country was locked down in March last year, everyone was predicting gloom, doom, and the potential collapse of property markets. Everyone that is except Simon Pressley.  He tells Bushy today why he was so bullish.    It’s a generally accepted investment principle that diversification can reduce your risk and improve your investment returns.  But are there times when property investors shouldn’t diversify?  Stuart Weymms tells Bushy it could be called ‘diwersefication’.  That’s a new word and Stuart explains what it means.    But first up – Bushy talks to Eliza Owen about some amazing findings emerging from CoreLogic’s Quarterly Regional Property Report.

Bushy is from Know How Property Finance and the host of his very popular podcast “Get Invested’.  His guest this week are Bryce Holdaway, Rob Newman and Jason Back.  First up Bushy talks to TV Property Show host and property buyers advocate Bryce Holdaway about a popular money myth about paying rent.  Given the massive stimulus incentives being offered by Federal and State governments to build new homes, there has been a big increase in the number of first home buyers looking to go down this road.  It is best to know the risks before making that decision ad you will hear them today from Rob Newman, a Buyers Agent, and Builder Broker.  Delays in arranging approved finance for the purchase of a property can now run out to 8 to 12 weeks resulting in many property sales falling over with everyone involved suffering high anxiety, stress, and frustration.   It does not have to be that way according to mortgage broking industry veteran Jason Back.  He talks to us about that.  Finally to wrap up this week's show Bushy’s Last Word is about how so many borrowers focus on rate when borrowing.  He says there are more important aspects of the loan you should be considering.

This week Bushy’s guests include Stuart Weymms, Eliza Owen and Simon Pressley and Bushy’s Last Word or as he refers to it his Bush Bite – he questions if converting from long term to short term rental investment is short sighted.  We would love to get your feedback on that as well.  You can do that in the comments section under todays show.   Well just when you thought the threat of changes to negative gearing were over when Labor lost the last Federal election it is under pressure again.  With 60% of Australia’s 2.2 million property investors being negatively geared, I would have thought that the ALP might have learnt a lesson.  But that is politics, I guess.  More on that today in the show.  Simon Pressley makes a return, and he brings some of those enlightening graphics with him. This time it is demonstrate that despite growth of 5 and a half percent in property prices in the last 3 months, Melbourne’s fundamentals are still quite fragile.   But first up today, CoreLogic’s Eliza Owen tells Bushy that Australia’s housing boom is rolling on with national home values lifting another 2.2% in May.  The improvement was almost universal being recorded in 97% of subregions across the nation.  Eliza lists the reasons driving the continued improvement and if it is likely to continue.
