That’s right guys. Duncan McPherson, Director at Nelson Alexander (also a successful property consultant, auctioneer, founder of Nelson Alexander Charitable Foundation and a property investor himself) started his roots in a small country town as, well, a butcher. Yep—his story is absolutely a white-butcher’s-coat to wealth-building-creation!Duncan is a family man, centred on honest and committed customer service, who has built his riches on sharing what he knows and paying it forward, giving almost $2.5 million dollars to local charities in the process.On the couch to share his wisdom, humbleness and good humour with the boys, Duncan explains:How he came to Melbourne as a butcher and ended up as a highly-successful real estate figureWhy one man in a black BMW, a shiny suit and a bad attitude was likely the catalysis for his career changeHow Nelson Alexander, since 1971, has transformed the face of real estate services, especially in the Northern suburbsHow he approaches property investment with 20+ years of experienceWhat are his criteria for a successful asset selection?Which one is a “better” investment: a house or a townhouse?What does “buying land and airspace” means and how you can value from itWhat is “The Beef Wellington” to add value to your property?What to look for in a quality real estate agent and how to outsmart themHow many off-market properties exist without you even knowing they’re For Sale? The inevitability of housing affordability—has it always been tough breaking into the market?When will he consider buying a property with someone else?What he looks for in an investment property and what always impresses himWe really, really think you’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’ve been building this one up a bit, haven’t we? But TODAY is the day we’ve got Jeremy Sheppard on the couch! Jeremy—himself an investor with 16 properties in his own portfolio—explains his years of passion in data collection, analysis and research into the levels of supply and demand (across every market and 15,000 suburbs in Australia). This passion pioneered the DSR Formula and the inception of DSRData.com.au.How it works (nutshell): Supply and demand are the only things that affect the future price of any good. If you know the exact level of supply and demand in a market, you can roughly predict its capital growth direction—up or down/making you money, or not.But how do you identify the level, and how can specific variables influence the market’s movement?There are 8 proven indicators that measures EXACTLY WHERE demand exceeds supply, honing in on where the capital growth lives.And in PART ONE, 5 of the 8 key indicators will be explained by the boys. They are:Stock on MarketAuction Clearance RatesOnline Search InterestDays on MarketVacancy Rate (and how to calculate your own vacancy rate)Just listen.
