INVESTOR SPECIAL SERIES 1/4: Over the past 10 years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with the best, 1000s of property investors, etc.  This has framed my property investing strategy, the ‘alpha-beta’ strategy.

Property markets work in cycles.  If the average growth rate is 6%, then that is made up of years of 20%+ growth and years of no growth.

As property investors, we want to buying in areas that are going to do very well soon. We want to minimise the amount of time before the next BOOM comes around.

But we also want to be buying BEFORE that BOOM is in place. The earlier you buy here, the more risk it comes with.  Things change.  Its all a lot more uncertain.

 In this episode, we cover 5 factors that help manage that uncertainty by increasing the likelihood an area is going to do well. Its all about the ECONOMY.  A state, a capital, an area where the economy is going to perform really well and much better than it usually does, is going to do well.

Should i invest in an apartment? Many property investing experts say NO. Indeed, so many of the best buyers agents in Australia simply DO NOT buy apartments.

But Sydney apartments are now growing at DOUBLE the rate of houses.

Are they overlooking the data?  

We unpack WHY apartments may be set for short term growth, including:

1. Value - apartments are showing strong value signals, being significantly underpinned relative to houses vs history.  A typical 20% spread in median dwelling values has DOUBLED in recent years.

2. Affordability - lower price points are the name of the high interest rate game! Apartments are more affordable, and that means more demand in a money-strapped environment.

3. Supply - we are NOT building enough, don't have enough & aren't even approving enough.  The supply pipeline is horrible, with around HALF of the total apartment supply required actually being delivered over the 3 year period ahead.

4. Population - new entrants & students often prefer apartment living.  With the population boom underway, does that add to more demand for apartments?

Inflation came in at 1% for Q1 2024 in a big economic release. This was above market expectations, coming in way too high and is a cause for concern. Inflation is the number one data item that the RBA look at, and with this high number, rate cut talks for the foreseeable future are over.
The RBA removed its stance on 'increasing interest rates' at its last meeting, but is likely to reinclude it next week and warn Australian's that further rate rises may be required to quell the inflation beast.

We deep dive into the Australian economy, jobs market, and rate cycle.  We also unpack how Australia compares to the US and why they are doing so well, while we are barely growing at all.

We discuss the slowly moving rate cycle, and why we're now in PHASE 2 of this transition from raising rates to cutting.  

1.  Stop increasing rates, but posture that more rate rises are coming.
2.  Removing the 'posturing' of further rate rises.
3.  Begin communicating that we expect to cut rates later in the year.
4. Actually cutting rates

In the latest meeting, the RBA have moved from step 1 to step 2.

How are so many Aussies getting on with their day to day life?

This question is absolutely key to the short term direction of housing values, the risks to the aussie economy, our jobs market and everything central to our economy.

Its why the RBA put a spotlight on Aussie households and how they're coping to high rates.  There's 3 reasons how Aussie's are getting through:

1. A great jobs market - near the best on record.
2. We're adjusting our spending to get through - the Aussie resilience shining through!
3. We came into this position with big savings buffers
