In a recent blog about property cycles, I explained in depth how there is always an opportunity regardless of what the broader Australian property market may be doing. Right now, there is confusion due to incorrect media reporting about the Australian real estate market. If you ask the average Joe what’s happening in the market right now, you’ll likely receive the answer that property prices are crashing. Yes, there are [...]
Depending on who you ask, the world may be ending as we know it, at least in the property sphere! Property prices in a few cities are declining, and the price growth of 20% for the others has ended. But not all is lost! Last week I wrote in detail about property cycles and what to expect in the future for Australia’s property market, but a conversation with an existing client prompted this [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

She has chosen to work with a number of coaches and mentors within not only the property industry but also the self-development industry to help her achieve a better financial [...]
I will be forever grateful to my Dad for introducing me to the world of property when I was just 18yrs old. I don’t think he quite realised at the time what an extremely powerful opportunity he was presenting which has allowed me to go on and create a much better financial future for myself than he could have imagined at the time. I guess you could say my Dad [...]
https://youtu.be/F4SnaoIg0cw So, understand the simple rules of acquisition. Has anyone seen or read this book? The Richest Man in Babylon. This is a bit of a parable. It tells us how we can create more money, keep our money and grow our money. You might have to move fast for this one. Save 10% at least. Control spending. Necessary expenses will always grow to your income, right? Who's [...]
The year was 1993, I was 18 years old and Dad helped me purchase an investment property with some friends after I’d received an insurance payout from a car accident I was involved in when I was just 11. A few years later, I began a 10 year stint in London and Mum’s worst nightmare come true. I fell in love with an Englishman! After purchasing an old house we [...]
Halloween often involves telling scary stories, kids dressed up in home-made outfits running up and down the street trick or treating and of course the unusual tradition of carving up pumpkins. I was reminded recently of a scary story a client (John) told me about his Mum and Dad who divorced when he was about 27 years old. Mum used her share of the settlement and brought a little three bedroom house [...]
Leonie Fitzgerald, the Voice's Tim McCallum & MC, Peter Fitzgerald Lots of people and lots of businesses too, talk about social responsibility today. Sadly, for many it stops at talking about it. They love the idea of social responsibility, they’re just hoping that somebody else will take care of it for them. I believe that social responsibility is more than just a phrase. The Definition Of Social Responsibility [...]
