Folks … we’ve gone a bit creative on today’s episode!!We want you to think, act and do like …. ants!Yep. We really do mean those teeny tiny insects…. who would have thought ants would come up in a property investing podcast? But before you ask yourself, “Have we left our marbles somewhere?”, we solemnly swear we’ve got a reason!Well, 7 actually.And we reckon you can take something away from today’s crafty, critter-fueled episode … especially if you’re in need of a bit of a pick-me-up in the mindset department!So, before we give you the low down on today’s episode, let’s get to the real talk: The proposed changes to the Residential Tenancies Act.Yep, it’s causing a bit of a stir after a few disgruntled tenants have had their say ….but it’s now time to have ours. Because these reforms WILL have negative impacts on landlords. Some of the proposed changes include:Allowing tenants to make non-structural modifications to rental properties, which may include repainting an entire property, installing hooks for picture frames, concreting the backyard or reconfiguring built-in robesRemoval of the landlord’s rights to consent to, or refuse, petsChanges to notice periods around ending a lease, removing the ability for a landlord to serve a 120 Day Notice to Vacate for ‘No Specified Reason’, and removing the option to serve a 60 or 90 Day Notice to Vacate for ‘End of Fixed-term tenancy’ after the initial first termCapping bonds at one month’s rent where the rent is less than $760 per week. This reform will also apply to rent that is paid in advance.We get that a hook in the wall is one thing... but concreting a backyard, or painting the walls in lime green, is an entirely different thing. These are our assets, and shouldn’t we have a voice to protect them?So, The Real Estate Institute of Victoria (REIV) released an online petition calling on the Andrews Government to change these proposed reforms to Victoria’s rental laws. We want fairness for both sides.So, if you feel passionate about this and want to make sure your landlord rights remain, you can LISTEN 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

We’re sorry to bring you Bad News while you’re on holidays.Unfortunately, we have heard some negative talk out there and, well, we think it’s best you know. So, today’s podcast is a little on the “doom and gloom” side, we’re afraid.We’re talking about the correction in the market. We’ve all seen the property prices in Sydney come down a bit, and we’ve all heard (perhaps too much) about the Bubble…. Is today the day it finally burst?A longtime listener from Singapore, Saxton, left us a rather distressing voicemail message:“I want to ask you about the article that was published by Matt Barrie the CEO of Freelancer in Australia where he painted a very negative and bleak future of Australia’s future prospects and described the Australian property market as a bubble built upon a bubble, built upon a bubble; namely mining and commodities. Anyway, it’s a long article and I would love to hear your negation on some of his gloomy outlooks and why property is still a good bet moving forward.”If you’ve read the article… you’ll know it’s pretty bleak. Also what’s interesting is that Matt Barrie isn’t a property expert — note that his business has nothing to do with property — and on social media channels he is, which makes sense, an “influencer”. And influencers are good at doing just that.But, at the end of the day, everyone is entitled to an opinion.More importantly, who is right?Full disclosure: Here’s the link to the article.
