                              Maybe best to have a balance of all of the above?

                              ---

                              Let’s look at a few case studies

                              1 Accountant – maybe risk averse, sensitive to cashflow, often owns a home and would like to add one rental, and contribute to super, $1m budget typical for a professional buying a house as an investment

                              Different personality types

                              Analytical/thinker – good saver – risk averse - suited to shares

                               

                              2 Doctor – often earn higher incomes, tolerance for some risk, they want high growth assets. Some healthcare professionals need trusts for asset protection e.g. surgeon, anaesthetist. Can scale a portfolio quickly, and can tolerate some negative cashflow

                              High income earner – achiever, goals focussed - tolerance for risk – may want to use leverage to build a property portfolio

                               

                              3 Tradie – often have good skills and are decisive. Have skills to add value to properties and have a good eye for a deal. Some of the best investors are tradies. Good incomes very often and an entrepreneurial spirit

                               

                              4 Entrepreneurs – difficulties with borrowing capacity, feast and famine. Hard to know whether to invest in self, business, or property and shares. Property is good for people who find it hard to save and invest regularly, after the initial up-front costs. Shares require some savings discipline. Borrowing capacity tends to come and go so need to be strategic and invest when you can

                              Entrepreneur – freedom focussed - with lumpy income? It depends. Property debt can be a noose, but can also be forced discipline. Shares are more liquid and could be sold quickly in a crisis.

                                    In this Australian Property Podcast episode, your hosts Amy Lunardi is joined by Zara McGuffie from the Australian Business Podcast. They discuss 5 common situations where property buyers face regret (both before buying and after), and how to avoid them.


                                    If you like this Australian Property Podcast episode on avoiding regret, you'll love the series. Don't forget to subscribe for weekly shows on Apple, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.


                                    Why avoid regret?

                                    Buying a home is a major decision—costly, time-consuming, and with big financial stakes.

                                    Before You Buy

                                    1. Hindsight Regret – “Should’ve bought X”

                                    - Many wait for the "perfect" market time, often influenced by media or others.

                                    - Identifying the market bottom is nearly impossible—by the time it rises, it’s too late.


                                    2. Missing ‘The One’

                                    - Regret is worse when it’s due to avoidable mistakes.

                                    - Be proactive: understand the process, act fast, get expert help.

                                    - Be financially and emotionally prepared—sometimes the right place comes early.


                                    After You Buy

                                    3. Buyer’s Remorse

                                    - Wrong purchase for your goals:

                                    - Home: May not suit your lifestyle, partner, or needs.

                                    - Investment: Cashflow issues, poor rental return, or hard to resell.

                                    - Avoid by having a clear strategy and doing proper research.

                                    - If it’s the wrong buy, selling and moving on may be best.


                                    Property issues:

                                    - Missed inspections, contract surprises, poor location factors.

                                    - Do due diligence and accept some things are outside your control.


                                    4. Overpaying or Underbidding

                                    - Appraisals are tough; overpaying can hurt resale if needed soon.

                                    - Value is subjective—comps vs personal worth.

                                    - Many regret not offering more in hindsight.

                                    - Do thorough market analysis and budget smartly.


                                    5. Renovation Regrets

                                    - Underestimate time, cost, and effort.

                                    - DIY plans often fall short—may lead to discomfort and unmet goals.

                                    In this Australian Property Podcast episode, your hosts Amy Lunardi and Pete Wargent answer your most pressing property questions.


                                    Questions Answered:

                                    1. Angus Young I’m looking at buying a townhouse and a lot of them I’ve been inspecting are brand new – should I bother with a building inspection? Doesn’t insurance cover any defects anyway?


                                    2. Kate Bush I almost feel like giving up. I’ve been trying to buy a home for the last 11 months and feel like I’m getting nowhere. I have a decent budget but now I’m feeling even more disheartened as I’ve noticed the market has gone up recently and there’s even more competition.


                                    3. Igor I wanted to ask why Pete blocked me on Twitter. (Igordownunder username). I don't believe I offended him but apologies if any comment was poorly perceived


                                    4. Marge Simpson What’s the risk of my real estate agent acting as a dual agent for me as a seller & then acting for my buyer also?


                                    5. Ben Hi Guys,

                                    I am now in a position where I am wanting to get an investment property to start my portfolio, I am wanting to do this to create equity to help buy our forever home as well as creating a future for our family.

                                    I am looking at 5-10 year strategy for creating compound growth. I would need to get a mortgage if we were to do this as a buy to let.

                                    I also have the opportunity to co invest with my partners mum who wants to do something with her cash. This would mean the ability not to have to get a mortgage. My concern is that I would be losing out on the compound growth in the years to come as she would obviously need a return too.
