Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast

Today I'd like you to come on a journey with me and leading demographer Simon Kuestenmacher.

First, we'll go back to the 1950s, then forward to today, and then forward again to 2054. We'll look at how our cities have changed and will change even more over a century as the Australian nation transitioned from a colonial outpost to a cosmopolitan global community.

We'll delve into Simon's latest research which tells a powerful story about our nation. It reveals the lifestyle preferences of the Australian people and the drivers of demand for residential property, something all property investors need to understand.

How am I preparing for the upcoming property market slowdown?

That was a question posed to me by Jarrad Mahon for his Perth Property Insiders podcast, but we discussed much more than what's happening in Western Australia.

And that's why I asked if I could share the recording of that show with you, which is what you'll be hearing in a moment because we discussed what I believe is ahead for our property markets, what I'm doing personally to protect myself, and what you can do to ensure that you make the most of the current market and don't become a casualty of the economic and property changes ahead.

Last year you could buy almost any property, go away on holidays (even though you really couldn't because of Covid) and when you came back you would have been richer than when you went away. But that was a once-in-a-generation property boom that made almost anyone who bought a property look like a smart investor. If history repeats itself, and most likely will, many investors will come to regret the hasty purchases they made last year.

On the other hand, at Metropole, we were very selective in the type of properties we bought to ensure our clients' investments would outperform the markets in the short-term and the long term.

So in today's podcast, I chat with Brett Warren about the type of property his team of buyer's agents bought for our clients, and hopefully, these case studies will give you some insight into how to choose an investment-grade property.

As we sit here today inflation is the highest it's been for years, interest rates are rising and people are wondering how high they will go, plenty of tech stocks are down by up to 50%, the war in Ukraine continues, and supply chains are broken, the pandemic is lingering, China is in lockdown, we have a new government, and on and on.

Somehow it feels like there's more economic uncertainty than there has been in years. Even though that's probably not the case

But what does all this mean for Australia's economy and our property markets?

Since these don't operate in isolation, each month I take time out to have a look at the big picture, the macroeconomic factors affecting not just Australia, but the world economy in these Big Picture Podcasts with Pete Wargent, in our attempt to give you a little more clarity on what's ahead.

If you're a property investor you probably want to increase your rental returns.

And while you've most likely enjoyed strong capital growth over the last couple of years, moving forward this is likely to be more subdued – meaning getting better rentals is going to be even more important.

So how do you do this without losing tenants?

That's what I'm going to chat about today with Leanne Jopson, national director of Property Management of Metropole so that at the end of today's podcast you'll have some hints about how, when, and how much you can increase your rents.

Are property investors greedy? What right have they got your own so many properties when others don't have shelter? That's one of the questions we answer in today's question-and-answer podcast with Belinda Botzolis, who's been a valuer for over 16 years and now brings her passion and years of experience to her role as one of the property strategists at Metropole.

She also gives a valuer's tip that may just save you some money as well as answering the question about which renovations add value and which don't.

Then, instead of my usual mindset message, I'll have a short conversation with Tom Corley about how much better you need to be to win.

What's ahead for our property markets, not just now but in the medium and long-term future?

Wouldn't you like to know?

Because if you did, that would make you a more successful investor, wouldn't it?

We understand that forecasting just seems to be getting harder and harder.

There are so many conflicting factors out there.

But in today's show, I discuss three megatrends that are going to signal Australia's future with leading demographer Simon Kustenmacher to give you more clarity about what's ahead, and that will help you make better investment and business decisions.

Want to be successful in life?

Whether it's with your property investments, personal life, profession, or business, life will throw you challenges.

Just look at what's happened to us over the last couple of years.

So, allow me to let you in on a little home truth: It takes a special kind of fortitude to be successful and when the going gets tough, the tough don't get going—they reach for a winning prescription called mental toughness.

What's mental toughness all about?

It's been described as the "ability to work hard and respond resiliently to failure and adversity; it's the inner quality that enables individuals to work hard and stick to their long-term passions and goals.

And it's the topic of today's podcast with Mark Creedon founder and CEO of Business Accelerator Mastermind.

With the election result now clear our property markets can resume their normal activities.

And while the ALP fiddled around the edges with some First Home Buyer incentives, the absence of significant macro policy differences between the new Labor Government and the Coalition suggests there will be minimal impact in the short term on our property markets.

However, I can see some unintended and concerning long-term consequences that could have a major effect on our economy and our property markets share this with you today in this episode of my podcast.

Regular listeners will know that I record a weekly Property Insiders video with Dr Andrew Wilson, Australia's leading independent housing economist, and today's podcast is the audio of a recent YouTube video as we discuss our economy, the latest unemployment figures, wages growth, what Reserve Bank feels about interest rates, and what our new government may mean for property.

A common property investing rule-of-thumb is that you should "buy property and never sell".

That's because property prices always trend higher over time which means you benefit from compounding capital growth.

Of course, the rule-of-thumb should be adjusted to include "buy quality property and never sell" to ensure you maximize investment returns.

But the reality is, that sometimes the smartest thing to do is to sell a property, even if it is a quality asset if it helps you move forward towards achieving your goals.

So, in today's show, I chat with independent financial adviser Stuart Wemyss and discuss how to decide if your investment property is a dud and you should sell it, or even if your property is performing well what are the common scenarios where we would recommend you sell your property.
