How A CEO Accountant Picks Investment Properties
Welcome back to The CEO Breakdown with John Saade.
Is property investing still worth it in Australia, or have the rules changed too much?
In this episode, John breaks down how he personally looks at investment properties as an accountant, business owner and property investor.
John explains why he still believes property can be one of Australia’s strongest long term investment classes, but only when the numbers make sense.
He walks through the difference between an investor and a speculator, why cash flow matters, why land matters, and why he keeps coming back to the granny flat strategy.
John also shows how he researches potential investment properties, including land size, zoning, rental yield, council rules, social housing data, construction risk, borrowing costs, cash flow shortfalls, planning certificates and how AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude can help narrow down the research before speaking to professionals.
The episode also covers Australia’s property market, tax changes, CGT, falling living standards, productivity, sick leave reform, construction costs, housing supply, wages and why property still needs to be looked at with clear thinking, not fear or hype.
This is not a hype video about buying any property at any price.
It is a practical breakdown of how an accountant thinks through risk, yield, debt, land and the numbers before even making an offer.
