It’s not uncommon to hear of a passion for property transforming into a professional endeavour. But how do you make the leap? Smart Property Investment’s Phil Tarrant sits down with the founders of Rethink Investing, Scott O’Neill and Mina O’Neill, to hear how their investing interest paved the way to a successful business. The couple share their experience of starting from scratch, sleeping on a mattress in a family home, to today having helped thousands of Australians build commercial property portfolios. As a husband and wife team, they provide insight into how they’ve crafted a work/life balance, and discuss the importance of identifying each other’s strengths and staying in their own lane.   Mina talks about how they transformed their “chaotic” portfolio into a well-structured and organised entity, while Scott discusses the importance of education and building lifelong relationships with clients.

While pursuing an aggressive strategy of building wealth, it’s important not to lose sight of the important things in life, and to take time out to enjoy what you’ve built.  On this episode of The Property Nerds, host Arjun Paliwal shares some personal news and reflects on the importance of getting your priorities in order. He reminds listeners that health is a crucial part of building and protecting wealth.  With this in mind, the investment expert delves into InvestorKit’s strategy for scaling portfolios, which follows the simple cycle of: acquire, optimise, consolidate. He explains what this looks like from a practical perspective, and also explains how investors might find the space in this aggressive approach to ensure that they’re able to enjoy the important things without sacrificing financial goals.  Arjun gives a snapshot into what the next few episodes will look like, and some of the exciting data that the InvestorKit team will be bringing to listeners.

Deals aren’t just sitting there on the shelf, and a good buyer’s agent will set expectations from the outset. On this episode, host Phil Tarrant talks with Sam Gordon from Australian Property Scout about what buyer’s agents are able to deliver for their clients and how clear communication is foundational for that relationship. Sam shares some insight into what he tells new clients who come expecting his business to be able to uncover an immediate deal, and why he has to keep a careful eye on his customer capacity. The duo also discuss how buyer education is changing, and why the investors looking to purchase today are arguably more clued in to the market than they were 10-plus years ago. Interestingly, this has made them even more likely to use a buyer’s agent, and the pair share their thoughts on why this might be the case.

Many commercial investors don’t realise the unused potential of their rooftops.  For the 49th episode of Inside Commercial Property, hosts Scott O’Neill and Phil Tarrant are joined by commercial property expert Paul Harmsworth, director of Rethink Renewables, to discuss how rooftop solar can be a tool for monetising commercial buildings.  The discussion covers everything investors need to know about power purchasing agreements, which can allow a landlord to sell solar energy to a tenant at a discounted price. The trio also unpack all of the government goals and incentives that can be taken advantage of to increase a property’s value and revenue-generating potential.
