Let’s face it…  Money is an emotional asset folks. Especially when you realise, you’ll never have “perfect” knowledge before investing… But we think that shouldn’t stop people from investing!  In fact, we think it’s something that everyone should be okay with, especially if you’ve covered your bases! That’s why in today’s episode we’re uncovering:  What these bases are… How to control your emotions around money… Why people fall into an analysis paralysis… And ultimately how you can create the optimal mindset for investing!  But that’s not all – of course – it’s Q&A DAY!! (Woohooo!)   We’re talking all things Buyers Agents: When and why you should stick with your current agent, the difference between specialist and regular Buyers Agents.PLUS, we’re unpacking the upcoming generational wealth transfer that will flow from Baby Boomers and explaining key factors you should understand, or have in place, BEFORE deciding to upgrade houses.     These questions provide some great case studies, with one proving why buying properties from other family members may not actually be the best solution for everyone!   Questions are listed further below.

Queensland has been through A LOT folks.  With the 2022 floods estimated to cost $2.5B in damage and more than 5,000 homes inhabitable, in the words of today’s podcast guest Antonia Mercorella: “We are facing a humanitarian crisis in Queensland”   Together, we’ll be unpacking the housing crisis that Queenslanders are waking up to every day, how this added demand will impact the states ALREADY struggling rental system… AND how REIQ and Q Shelter’s “Help House a Queenslander” campaign can help with the ongoing housing crisis! And if the name Antonia Mercorella sounds familiar to you – we’re proud to say it’s because she’s a returning guest from Episode 280!!  Antonia is not only the Chief Executive Officer at the Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ), but she’s an accomplished CEO and solicitor with more than 20 years of experience across the real estate and property sectors!  But don’t get us wrong – when we say Queensland’s been through a lot, it’s not all bad!  We’ll be unpacking it from the top, starting with the pandemic when Brisbane’s property market was HOT, and exploring what lifestyle drivers push people to move interstate!  And let’s just say that Antonia makes a very convincing case to move to the Sunshine State. We’ll also be looking at the State Government’s announcement to potentially introduce land taxes and why it’s a terrible idea!!!  So if you’re interested in what this all means for the future of Queensland’s property market (and the wider Australian market), tune in now!!  Free Stuff MentionedLearn more about REIQ and Q Shelter’s “Help House a Queenslander” campaignThe 2021/22 Queensland Budget UpdateQueensland’s Residential Tenancy Authority Annual ReportLISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >> MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform: https://www.moorr.com.au/ FREE MASTERCLASS:- How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >> FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple Again FIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube

Do you know how to make your invisible finances….visible? Or what we mean by “the big rocks in the jar”?!  It’s been a while since we’ve done a Q&A Day folks, and boy we’re covering a lot of ground! We’re answering the questions above, and more, including debunking the “too old to invest” mentality that many people fall into, why it doesn’t work and how it leads to unfortunate statics, like how 73% of all Aussie property investors stop at one property, and 91% stop at 2!Folks, we need to change this statistic which is why we’re exploring what our question-asker (and you) can do to avoid self-limiting action.  Bryce also lists some great examples of people who’ve only found success later in life; listen in if you need some inspiration.  PLUS, how you can use Capital Gains Tax (CGT) to best benefit you!  Yep. We’ve got 2 listeners interested in CGT in 2 VERY different ways… We’re explaining what CGT is, clarifying whether it affects borrowed money and asset appreciation AND if it’s possible to dodge THE 6-year rule!!! (Don’t know what that is? Tune in to find out )  We’re also hitting a huge pain point of Ben’s, related to why banks treat investors (over owner-occupiers) like second class citizens, and why it doesn’t make a lick of sense to us!  PLUS we discuss the floods on Australia’s east coast and its impacts on the property market. Our thoughts go out to all the people affected by this disaster. Of course, since it’s a Q&A day there are tons more good stuff crammed in as well.  All questions are listed below folks – so tune in and enjoy!  p.s Remember to send us your tax questions BEFORE the season starts through the Speak Pipe widget found on The Property Couch website.

With Australia’s housing boom slowing and interest rates on the horizon, folks it’s finally time to ask Is the property market past its peak?! To help us answer this question we’re doing a deep data dive into CoreLogic’s Hedonic Home Value Index February report!We’ll be unpacking the cycle just passed, its monthly and annual data, and what it means for our future…But remember folks: We’re talking about the peak rate of growth!While this means we probably won’t see the same level of growth in 2021, it does NOT mean you shouldn’t invest for the rest of the year!!We’re also making some projections into 2022’s capital growth, breaking it down to the positives and negatives we expect to see in demand and supply.You can expect us to cover everything from population movement to immigration, commuting to climate change and more!! But before you go check out the podcast, we’ve got a special announcement…It’s OUR 7th BIRTHDAY!
