| 06 Apr 2023 | 437 | The Biggest Danger people face when looking at property data | 01:34:25 | |
When it comes to property investment, data is a very valuable tool for making informed decisions. However, looking at single data measures can be dangerous, especially when it comes to something as complex as the housing market. To truly understand affordability and sustainability, we need to consider a range of factors and look at the bigger picture. Take median house prices, for example. This is a commonly used statistic that can give us a general idea of the state of the housing market. However, by itself, it can be misleading. Folks, in episode 437, we have the perfect guest to help us unpack all things property data, what to look for and the dangers of looking at single data measures. We sat down with Kent Lardner, one of Australia’s best and most respected property data analysts. Kent has over 30 years' experience in the industry focusing on property data and analytics. We will be diving deep into: 🔣 The Dangers of looking at Single Data Measures 🔣 Looking at Median House Prices as a descriptive statistic 🔣 Affordability – What To Look For 🔣 Are Rent Rises Sustainable? 🔣 Kent’s craft and How it Influences his Decisions 🔣 And of course, unpacking everything going on in the market today You're in for a massive episode today that’s full of knowledge and insights into what to look for when analysing property data!

We kickstart this incredible series with our first guest, Adam. Join us on this transformative journey as we uncover the importance of prioritizing the "big rocks" in the jar of life. We'll flip the pages and delve into strategies for building resilience, even when confidence takes a hit.
We navigate the complexities of finances with insights on the "sleep at night tax" and the power of compromise and sacrifice. We'll confront the venomous obstacles that can hinder progress and emphasize the crucial role of honesty and openness.
Prepare to wade through murky waters, armed with the tools and knowledge to come out stronger on the other side. Reflecting on our experiences takes courage, however, Adam reminds us that amidst the challenges, it's essential to enjoy yourself and reward your efforts when times are good.
Join us as we unlock the potential of sonic tools and discover why a poor man pays twice. And of course, we'll sprinkle in some light-heartedness with a mention of Spaghetti Bolognese. LISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >> | |||

| 22 Aug 2023 | Bonus Episode: Don't Invest in Property Without These Four Foundational Levers… | 00:21:58 | |
The process of building wealth is like operating a bulldozer… What do we mean by that? Well, a bulldozer comes with a few levers that you’ll need to push and pull to make sure that it’s doing what it’s meant to do. Likewise, when it comes to building your property portfolio, there are “Four Foundational Levers” that you’ll need to adjust to achieve your own specific and unique end goal. …And the faster you can adjust each of these levers, the quicker you’ll get to your goal. To put this into perspective… Let’s say you’re building a house. First, you’d start with the number of rooms you need (the floor plan), then its size (the measurements), then the engineering (how it’s going to be built), and, finally, what it’s going to be built from (building materials). Without these things you can’t build the house as you planned to build it, right? Not to mention, if you changed just one of these things you automatically affect the other three. And, yes, the same applies when you’re building wealth. You need ALL four levers and if you adjust one you impact ALL the rest…. So. What are the Four Levers when it comes to building wealth? And why are these so important for a property investor?! Listen now to find out.

| 19 Sep 2023 | The #1 Reason Why These Properties Soar In Value… While Others DON’T! | 00:23:56 | |
Not all properties are created equal. And there is a specific reason for this – what we like to call “The Psychology Behind The Price”. And this has EVERYTHING to do with human interest and human behaviour – something that can indeed be measured and, almost always, stays exactly the same… no matter who you are or where you live. Here’s the deal… there are two “types” of properties – Investment Grade and Investment Stock. And most investors are often tricked into thinking – or falsely assume – that what they think is a good investment is going to turn out to be, well, a good investment. And this is NOT the case. In fact, it’s often the complete opposite. This may come as a surprise to you… but the greatest investments – what we call “investment grade” properties – actually target the owner-occupier (that is, the home owner)… NOT the investor! And in today’s episode we’re going to tell you exactly why this is and give you the science behind what makes for an Investment Grade property and how to recognise one using the golden rule that underpins the value of property – Supply and Demand! Listen now to learn how to get a return on your investment property and keep it… simply by identifying high demand in the property market. Remember… Investment Grade = Great.

So, what makes for the RIGHT investment property… and how do you pick it? Well, let’s be honest… most of us can’t tick all the boxes on our property wish-list. We’d like to, sure, but often this isn’t an accurate depiction of reality. We can’t all afford the best house in the best street in a blue-chip, capital-growth-centric location every time we invest in property! So, chances are you’ve had, or will have, a conversation about what you might have to compromise in the buying process. … And this is where our “Buyer’s Decision Quadrant” comes in! This is a framework that can help you with the asset selection process and help you make an informed decision so you are NOT compromising where it matters most. Because there is something that is absolutely non-negotiable. So in today’s episode, we’re going to take a deep dive on the four areas — the “Quadrants” — of our Buyer’s Decision Quadrant so you can sleep well knowing you’ve picked the right investment property with the money you have and the ambitions you seek!

But before we dive into all that, we can't ignore the elephant in the room – the heightened geo-political tensions and the Middle East conflict. This isn't just a humanitarian crisis; it's also making waves in the global economy. All this uncertainty and instability is putting a damper on global economic confidence, sentiment, and investment. Plus, it's affecting oil supply, prices, and trade, which is basically throwing a wrench into the works of the world economy. Let's cross our fingers for some speedy resolutions in the Middle East and Ukraine to ease these troubles. But for now, the world is feeling jittery and there's more downside risk ahead if these issues continue to weigh on developed economies. We know these aren’t uplifting news to share, but it's important to acknowledge the economic consequences tied to these global events.
