Property Hub - Investment Insights & Inspiration

Just about everyone in Australia is an ‘expert’ on property. It doesn’t matter whether you’re at the pub, a BBQ on the weekend, the hairdressers or at work, someone is always happy to share their opinion. The funniest thing about all of this is that those with the strongest opinions and who talk loudest about property investments often don’t own any (or not for long).  As a wise person once said, ‘talk is cheap because it’s the only thing broke people can afford’.  The legitimacy litmus test on investment for me has always been about what you have actually done, not how much you talk about it. Unless your family and friends are active investors, don’t ask them. Even Jesus’ early friends didn’t believe he was the Messiah.  You need to seek out other like-minded, successful investors who have done what you are looking to do and learn from them. And if there is one person in the country that best fits the bill for independent objective and quality advice that you can trust it is Kevin Turner. Kevin is a regular here on Get Invested for the very reason that his humble insights are always worth listening to and he is just a great bloke who is always generous with his time – if you want to learn more about Kevin, have a listen to the indepth chat I enjoyed with him here on Episode 7. As the host of the most popular property shows and podcasts in the country, including Real Estate Talk, RE Uncut and Property TV, Kevin gets to see and hear from everyone in the industry, and as an active property investor himself, his broad spectrum of exposure at the crossroads of all things property and finance means that his thoughts are always well informed and as an industry facilitator, he has no barrow to push. So if you are looking for current educated advice on what is likely to happen in property in Australia this year and what you should be doing about it, then enjoy Kevin’s annual outlook on the influences and the impacts.

We’re going to do something a bit different and share an interview I did with Paul Averill on his ManBits podcast. The ManBits podcast is a straight up chat about men's health. But it isn't just bits for guys. It's bits for everyone! Listeners enjoy chats with proven performers across self, health and wealth, where they openly share their journeys of resilience, personal growth and fulfilment.  ManBits has had the rare privilege of being featured on the podcast service for inflight listening on major airlines. The ultimate goal of ManBits is to reduce suicide among men globally. And Paul finishes each episode with actionable tips and tactics to make positive change in your life and help you to learn how to positively impact the lives of those around you.  Paul and his wife Pascale operate on the motto - love the life you have and live the life you want, which is right up my alley. So If you enjoy today’s chat, Check out other episodes of the ManBits podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or go to www.themanbits.com.

I want to open your eyes to the importance of managing risk and uncertainty when you’re a property investor. Specialised landlord insurance is one of the best ways to do that, and there is no better person to talk you through this than our guest Sharon Fox-Slater. Sharon has worked in the industry for more than 30 years and is well equipped and passionate about delivering insurance solutions and outstanding service that better protects your investments and income. Sharon joined EBM back in 1993 and was part of the core team that helped launch one of Australia’s first specialised landlord insurance policies into the market. Since then, she has worked tirelessly to transform EBM RentCover from a small start-up into a national operation of more than 100 employees who work hard to educate property professionals and protect more than 150,000 property owners. We can say from personal experience that at the heart of Sharon’s business is a team of amazing specialists who operate with integrity and honesty – values you don’t typically associate with insurers. In this episode you’ll learn what investors and landlords should look for with landlord insurance policies, the risks that landlord insurance mitigates and what is and isn’t covered along with a host of other very interesting insurance considerations. You’ll then be able to assess whether you have the right landlord insurance to cover your risks. If you haven’t got a landlord insurance policy through a specialist provider like EBM and you’re not aware of the financial risks you are exposed to with a generalist policy, then email us here at hello@khgroup.com.au and we’ll help point you in the right direction.

Angie and Shane Saunders are world leaders in the scientific art of transformative breathing techniques and will teach you how to use them to start enjoying success in all areas of your life. Angie and Shane are co-owners of the life-changing business Breathe Me, authors of award-winning book, Three Lessons on How to Lower Stress Naturally and co-hosts of The Breathing Edge Podcast. You can check them out on http://breatheme.com/ You see, after spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on life and business education all with the aim of creating a life worth living, along with studying with leading breath experts such as Wim Hof, Dr. Belisa Vranich and Dan Brulé, they’ve adopted and refined daily breathing techniques to allow them to master their own personal energy. They credit daily breathing techniques for helping them build up a health and wellness business that yielded a six-figure income within the first year. From there they moved onto residential real estate investing, commercial real estate projects, business investments, mindset consulting and writing their award-winning book.   They’ve since set their business life up to give them the freedom to work from home and be present for their children.  And while they don’t have to create a business around teaching others to use advanced breathing techniques, it’s something they feel compelled to do. Now that they are enjoying the fruits of their success their lives are now dedicated to helping others achieve peak performance. Because what they’ve discovered is nothing short of a phenomenon. They’ve realised it’s possible to unleash energy trapped by tension and it all comes down to one thing - BREATHING.  It’s simply a matter of having the head, heart and the gut working together in harmony. And breathing is the tool that makes all of this happen. The Saunders’ breathing techniques will help you in everyday life to: - Release tension - Energise your body - Activate the unused ‘brains’ in the heart and the gut And give you an energised body that is both powerful and intelligent. This episode is jam packed full of gold across the full spectrum of self-development, health development and wealth development – great wisdom combined with immediately actionable takeaways.

What does freedom mean to you? How much freedom do you have and enjoy? Freedom, fulfilment and happiness seem to be what we are all chasing – but what does freedom really mean? Freedom for me is having the choice to do what I like, when I like, where I like with who I like. It is about choice. On one hand, we have never had so much freedom of choice. But at the same time, our level of perceived happiness seems to be decreasing and there has never been a higher growth in the incidence of anxiety and depression. So today I want to explore this conundrum in some detail, drawing on Barry Schwartz’s excellent observations and insights from his book ‘The Paradox of Choice – Why More is Less’, and share some strategies on how you can fully enjoy your freedoms without suffering some of the apparent side effects. Get Invested is the podcast dedicated to time poor professionals who want to work less and live more.

We continue our mini-series on property investment learnings and insights.  Did you know that over 555,000 of residential properties are bought in Australia each year and between 25- 35% of these being investment properties? Now I know first hand how good property investment can be to help you enjoy a great lifestyle, yet sadly only 5% or 1 in 20 investors achieve sustainable success. And unfortunately property investing is the second most common reason that Australians lose money. Why is this? Many private property investors and home buyers want to invest in property and ‘live the dream’, but are often not informed enough about the risks that come with it due to: - The sheer volume of investment information providing conflicting advice - Interested parties such as real estate agents and developers providing biased advice - Reliance on existing property reports that only focus on current or past market values, data or conditions So one of the key secrets for success in property is to access current, high quality independent and objective forward looking research based on the key investment criteria integrated with economic forecast algorithms – and the only place you are going to find this in Australia is with Riskwise Property Research - check them out at www.riskwiseproperty.com.au. So to help you tackle the future and invest with confidence, this episode is part 2 of our special chat with Doron Peleg. Last episode we looked at the past, summarised the learnings and reinforced the benefits of adopting Riskwise’s unique macro to micro research approach. If you haven’t listened to part 1, go back and have a listen to this first as it forms the basis of today’s forward-looking discussion. Now we take last episode's learnings and look to the future. We glean Doron’s well informed and intelligent insights into what is likely to happen that will influence property nationally and conclude with a detailed run down on where are the best areas to invest across the country moving forward if you’re looking for sustainable growth. So if you want to know what is likely to happen with your property in the future or you want to know what to invest in - and where - then you can't afford to miss today’s informative insights. Go back and listen to Part 1 of this discussion here. Get Invested is the podcast dedicated to time poor professionals who want to work less and live more.

As we start a new year and a new decade, it is a great time to reflect on the past, learn from it and plan what we’ll do to optimise our opportunities in the future.   So that’s exactly what we’re going to do in this two-part special on the Get Invested podcast.  In part one, we focus on what has happened in property nationally over the last couple of years and what lessons we gleaned from it.  In the next episode we will focus on the future – what’s in store in the year ahead from the macro to the micro level, what impact will this have on property in Australia and where should you invest if you’re looking for sustainable success.  And to help shed some light on this there’s no-one better qualified or better positioned than special guest Doron Peleg.   For those of you who have been listening to Get Invested for some time, you will remember Doron from episode 24 where he opened our eyes to successful property investment principles and the benefits of his unique forward projecting research from his company Riskwise – if you haven’t had a listen to this episode then it is a great listen so check it out.    As the CEO and Founder of RiskWise Property Research - Australia's most innovative independent research house - Doron has more than 20 years experience in risk management including time as an Executive Manager at Westpac.  If you’re looking for true independent objective and most importantly forward projecting research on every state, suburb and property in the country, check it out at www.riskwiseproperty.com.au.    So if you’re an existing property owner, a potential property purchaser or an existing or aspiring property investor wanting to know what to expect, what to do and where to do it, you can’t afford to miss this very insightful series.  In addition to reviewing what has happened in the world of property and finance over the last few years and the lessons that this teaches us, today we learn about the benefits of Riskwise’s unique macro to micro property research approach, how you can acquire what he classifies as a ‘triple A rated property’ and what information you can and need to access so you can make better informed property decisions based on the future, not just the past.  Get Invested is the podcast dedicated to time poor professionals who want to work less and live more.

Now this time of the year is a great time for reflection and a chance to recharge your batteries, so I’m going to challenge you to make the time to read and listen to podcasts as a way of filling your tank with inspiration and motivation. Just trade some time that you spend watching or listening to the news or scrolling through social media and replace it with some good book or podcast listening time – you will be amazed at how you start thinking and seeing things differently. As a constant reader I have a library of books, both in hard copy and on my kindle reader that goes everywhere with me. Because to me, to stop learning is to die on the inside. I’ve always got at least three to four books on the go at the same time, so I read to suit my mood. I generally start the day with self-development books and podcasts when I’m at the gym. I listen to something inspirational and motivational when I am in the shower, and I finish the day with fiction books so I can relax into sleep. And yes, I love to read in the ultimate man cave, which is code for the toilet. So to get you started and whet your appetite, in this episode is a quick list of my favourite books and podcasts. I’ve broken them into sections around the three cornerstones of success - being self, health and wealth - along with some specific property books and podcasts. Hopefully this episode has given you some good reading and listening material to get your grey matter working. But I’d also love to hear your favourite books and podcasts, so email me on bushy@khgroup.com.au if you have others that would be worth sharing.

If you’re researching property, there’s more information available than we can handle. How do we make sense of it all? We tackle this challenge with Nerida Conisbee, Chief Economist with the REA Group who is changing the way the world views property — REA is the parent company of realestate.com.au, realcommercial.com.au and a host of other digital property businesses globally. Nerida is recognised as one of Australia’s leading property experts. She provides regular market commentary to a wide range of Australian media outlets across digital, print, television and radio. She has more than 20 years of property research experience throughout Asia Pacific and has held senior positions within commercial agencies and major consulting firms over this time. Her expertise covers residential and commercial property from both an investor and occupier’s perspective. Nerida also holds a Bachelor of Commerce with Honours and a Masters of Commerce, majoring in Econometrics. With nearly seven million searches a day and over five million Australians using the realestate.com.au website every month (that’s one in four of us), Nerida has a very fine tuned sense of what’s happening in property nationally. With a wealth of data at her fingertips, Nerida marries the fundamental market drivers of real estate with the way we behave online to extract unparalleled insights. Now you’ve probably all heard the old joke about Why astrology was invented? So economics would seem like an accurate science! For me the quality of economic projections has been about the quality of the data, the quality of the modelling and most importantly the quality of the person interpreting the data – in this regard Nerida has no equal. Nerida doesn’t have a magic crystal ball but she has the next best thing – current buyer and seller behaviour patterns that bridges the gulf between logical and emotional driven decision-making around property. In today’s very interesting discussion, Nerida shares her insights on where property is heading around the country and which locations show good long term growth potential … so listen closely!

To inspire and motivate you to become the best version of you, today’s guest Luke Richmond is a living breathing example of how to live and enjoy your life to the fullest when you keep this question top of mind: what if I die in five years time? Luke is an extreme adventurer. He now calls himself a full-time author, speaker, climber and ocean rower and part-time base jumper - but he’s much more than that. After hitting rock bottom in his early twenties from drug addiction he managed to set himself straight after finding a sweaty salvation in the Muay Thai training camps of Thailand. Since those demon days he’s gone on to climb the highest mountains on six continents, brave -60 degree temperatures in Antarctica and has been held captive in the jungles of West Papua – you are going to love his pulse racing, breath taking stories. He has witnessed death before his very eyes on the highest mountain peaks and he’s healed his mind with an ocean row across the Atlantic, setting a new world record. In one of his recent expeditions he dragged a cart containing all of his food and water across 1800 km of the Gobi Desert in Mongolia becoming the first Australian male to do so. In a strange way, Luke has repeatedly found comfort in suffering while on adventures and he feels as if he has lived ten lifetimes - yet he is only just getting started. Luke lives by the motto ‘one life one chance’, which is the name of his first book - a really inspirational read - it’s a story of adrenaline and adventure in the most unforgiving places on earth so grab yourself a copy at www.olocadventures.com/shop. His next book ‘Vodka and Sandstorms’ is due for release in March 2020. So after enjoying today’s spine tingling chat with Luke, I’m going to challenge you to get invested in your future. I want you to email me on bushy@khgroup.com.au with the subject heading: ‘What will I do if I only have five years left?’ And then answer it in the email by telling me the top three things that you would do with your life if you only had five years left. For everyone who emails me we will donate a day of live saving water to families in need in Ethiopia as part of our Know How Property Finance B1G1 Business for Good, Give 1 Million Days campaign. The most inspiring answer will win a copy of my book The Freedom Formula – I’ll even see if Luke is happy to give a copy of his book ‘One Life One Chance’ to the winner – so I look forward to reading your emails on bushy@khgroup.com.au.
