By |2022-08-02T06:20:10+00:00July 7th, 2022|Categories: Investment, Marketing, News, Positive Change, Uncategorized|Comments Off on The Property Market is Crashing – So How are Investors Still Cashing In?

The Property Market is Crashing – So How are Investors Still Cashing In? Did the headline grab your attention? I thought as much. The headline really should have said, “There is Currently a Minor Correction Occurring in Melbourne, and Sydney Property Prices whilst other Capital Cities Continue to grow”.  Not nearly as well constructed to gain your attention but hey as the saying goes, “don’t let the truth get in the way of [...]

Confidence is surging amongst real estate investors in Australia despite the narrative being played out by the mass media. The media currently reports that real estate prices are falling, and investors have pulled out of the market. This could not be further from the truth. Property investors are undeterred about the recent interest rate rise, with current data reporting that new investment loans have doubled in the past twelve months ending [...]

Interest Rates and Inflation, What This Means For Property Investors?

There’s certainly a lot of commentary currently about the property market. The recent move from the Reserve Bank Of Australia to lift interest rates by 0.5% has created quite a stir; the question is how much of it is actually factual and how much is designed to sell newspapers?There’s no denying that interest rates are on the rise but after the longest continuous period of downward spiralling rates, does this really [...]

Are Australians Financially Illiterate?

With Australia’s most significant student assessment now behind us, it got me thinking… are we teaching our kids enough about money management and, as a whole, are Australians lacking financial education? I started investing in property in 1993 when I was only 18. At that time, I had no idea what I was doing, and I’m not ashamed to say I got lucky. But more importantly, during the process of buying my [...]

Is it really that time again? Yes, it is.We’ll head to the polling booths in under a month to vote on who should lead Australia moving forward.In recent weeks I’ve been asked, “will the looming federal election impact the Australian housing market?” Regardless of whether you are left, right or somewhere between, unfortunately, politics generally finds its way into the conversation of the property market. But for good or bad?I’ll make [...]

Is Cashflow Really King?

For as long as people have been investing in property there has been a common question. Should you buy a property for its capital growth potential, or should you buy a property for cash flow? With an interest rate rise potentially on the horizon many investors are revisiting this age-old debate, to gear negatively or positively.   I want to address a glaring issue immediately that may be prudent for some of you and [...]

Prospective property owners in Sydney have gone from fearing they’ll miss out to fearing they’ll overpay. Sydney house prices could drop dramatically There’s certainly no doubt that over the past two years Sydney property owners have been on one hell of a ride with property prices rising over 30% in the twelve months leading up to December 2021. Certainly, a great result but for those who were hoping that the [...]

Australia wide we are seeing record low levels of rental properties and sale listings putting upward pressure on both the rental and sales market. I’ve been digging into the numbers and nationally, the total number of properties advertised for sale over the last four weeks was 13.3% lower than the same period a year ago, demonstrating an ongoing shortage of available housing to purchase. Property is a tangible asset and [...]
