Property Investing Insights with Right Property Group

Welcome to Investing Insights with Right Property Group! In this episode, hosts Steve Waters and Victor Kumar discuss the confusion and conflicting opinions that arise in the property market during a market shift. They acknowledge that during a boom market, opinions are mostly the same, but in a bear market, they can be quite opposite. However, they believe that the current phase is just a market shift, and data and ground truth should be considered before making any decisions. Key takeaways: -In a market shift, it's important to consider data and ground truth before making any investment decisions. -The property market is like a game of chess, where players need to anticipate their opponents' moves and make strategic decisions. -Investing in property should be done with a three to five-year approach, and each area has a different cycle in terms of the timeframe. -Diversification is important not only in different asset classes but also in various types of assets within an asset class. -One needs to be realistic about affordability and not rely solely on what the bank says. Steve and Victor also discuss the current state of the property market in Australia and how people are hesitant to invest due to the difficulty of getting funding, rather than a lack of information. They stress the importance of assessing one's portfolio and making sure it is built on a strong foundation, as well as being counter-cyclical. They argue that education and information are more readily available now than in the past, which means people are more aware of what they should do, but are still held back by their ability to get funding.

Is the property market poised for a rebound? While there’s no foolproof way to determine whether the market has bottomed out, these experts help investors filter out the data that will help investors chart a strategic path out of the downturn. In this episode of Investing Insights with Right Property Group, Phil Tarrant, Steve Waters and Victor Kumar unpack the three telltale signs that the market is on its way to restarting the property cycle. While the negative narrative surrounding the Reserve Bank’s rate rise cycle has not dissipated and with other economic trends clouding the market outlook in the coming months, the trio gave their realistic takes on why they believe there are still investment opportunities across the market. The experts also explained why investors should not solely rely on data or headlines before taking the jump to enter the market.

In this episode of the Investing Insights podcast, Steve Waters and Victor Kumar from Right Property Group share their insights on navigating the Australian property market during times of economic uncertainty. 

 Here are the key takeaways: 1. Take assertive action during times of market uncertainty and avoid reacting out of fear. 2. Manage debt, cash flow, and maintain buffers to weather challenging periods in the market. 3. Property tax reform is needed to provide stability in the market and reduce reliance on stamp duty revenue. 4. Good cash flow management is essential in property investment, and focus on buying good properties that can be offloaded if necessary. 5. The government needs to provide incentives to encourage first-time owners and investors to enter the property market. 
Steve and Victor believe that investors should be proactive during uncertain times, rather than reacting out of fear. They caution against knee-jerk reactions and poor information that often lead to significant losses. They discussed the effects of free flowing credit, which led to a booming economy, and the need for an extended-term property tax to replace upfront costs. They also expressed concerns about the end of fixed interest rates on 800,000 loans, which could increase the amount of repayments. 
They also emphasised the importance of managing cash flow and remaining liquid in terms of mortgages. They suggested that investors focus on buying good properties for offloading to homeowners or investors in case things do not go as planned. They also highlighted the need for government intervention and incentivisation to address the construction industry struggle.
 Navigating the uncertainty in the Australian property market requires a planned approach, worst-case scenario planning, and taking a defensive approach when accumulating debt. As the property market cycles through its growth patterns, it is crucial to remain liquid, have buffers in place, and always be in a situation where you can sleep at night. Investors should focus on buying good properties and be part of the wealth transfer process during times of negative sentiment and economic hardship. By setting the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle together for the future, people can reap the benefits of what they do during this period in the following years as the cycle turns. Watch the full episode now to gain the knowledge you need to make informed investment decisions and succeed in the ever-changing property market.
