Pros and cons of property and shares

Super is massive in Australia too

Buy a home and then what?

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.

Prof Scott Galloway. Credentialled – degree - stock options. Equity. Bonuses.
