The Armchair Guide to Property Investing

Spoiler Alert: we’re practically giving away our new book, folks!

Because today we’re revealing the 7 Steps of managing your money… the exact steps that we reveal in our brand new book (coming out next week), Make Money Simple Again!

And why would we give away the gold hidden in a book that’s not even hit the shelf yet?

Simple. We want every Australian to be a smarter money manager — and with sky-rocketing credit-card debt levels in the country, we don’t think this is currently happening.

So if you want to be a better money manager, or if you want your money to work harder for you, or if you’ve found yourself in a debt cycle you’re struggling to get out of, then today’s episode is exactly what you need!

Before we jump straight in, we also give you the latest news from Property Investors Council of Australia (PICA) — specifically how the recent meeting about the Victorian Residential Tenancy Changes went! If you want to get your hands on PICA’s presentation and deck slides from the evening, join PICA for $5 and you will be eligible to get them for free!

Folks, it’s true — we’re holding a brand new Live Masterclass for you! You’ll learn the 3 Secrets to building a property portfolio and retiring on 2K per week…

• Secret #1 How to Retire on $2,000 per week as a passive investor with 5 properties or less
• Secret #2 How to Grow a multi-million dollar property portfolio without Sacrificing the monthly budget
• Secret #3 Whoever buys the RIGHT property ensures they DON’T have to worry about negative market noise.

PLUS, we’re deep-diving into investing later in life and what this really looks like for people in their fifties, including the ramifications of investing in property can have on pension allowances.

And, of course, Lenders Mortgage Insurance… let’s run the basics, and work out when too much is WAY too much!

Folks, today we’re tackling your questions around some tough topics!

Because chances are, you’ve heard about the amendments that’ve recently been passed on Victoria’s Residential Tenancies Act — laws that allow tenants to keep pets and make ‘minor’ modifications to the property, regardless of the landlord’s wishes.

So we’re going to give our take on this, as well as take a deep dive on “Legoland” and whether or not these properties are worth considering if they’re sitting in a good location. Plus a certain Donald Trump gets a mention, as does the interest rate rise we’ve seen from the big banks right here on our home turf!

And why the tough topics now?

Well, folks, it’s pretty simple… we’ve sweated out our brand new book, Make Money Simple Again (Get 30% off here), and now that it’s off to the printers… we’re ready to take on some of your other challenges!

Before we kick it off, just a shout-out that PICA’S holding a limited-seating event on Tuesday 18th September at 6 pm — to discuss the amendments to the Victorian Residential Tenancy Act…

This is an exclusive event (only 60 seats available) with Yvonne Martin and will take place at Madgwicks Lawyers, Level 6, 140 William Street, Melbourne.

“The People’s podcast” is EXACTLY that today folks! Because here’s the deal… it’s full-on, gold-packed Q & A Day!!

And we’re diving headfirst into…

1. Offset accounts —is it a good idea to have multiple offset accounts? And should you offset your highest loan or the oldest loan?
2. Investing in outer suburbs versus inner suburbs
3. The step-by-step process of buying an investment property
4. Buying a home (PPOR) versus an investment property (IP)
5. Lending — should you pay down the principle of an investment property when interest rates are low?
6. Why should you join PICA?
7. TWO amazing LifeHacks from our community!

Oh, folks, we don’t want to pick favourites but even we’ll admit it these are some solid questions from our listeners!

From start to “Knowledge is empowering, but only if you act on it”… this episode is ALL YOURS!

Before we jump into the questions, click here to download Ben’s Data Dive on Better Price Point, Better Location and Better Returns or fill in the form below and we’ll send it to your email right away.

Questions from Kyrillos:

1. If you’re purchasing more than 1 property, can you get more than one offset account? And if so do you split all the cash between them, or is it wiser to pour in all the cash in the offset against a larger loan?
2. To do with LocationScore — I’ve gone through and created a Spreadsheet of all of the suburbs within 50km of Brisbane’s CBD and found that most of the better-scored suburbs are actually quite far, in terms of the asset selection criteria you guys talk about. I understand that LocationScore is more of a demand versus supply score, so if you’re a Buy and Hold investor, at a suburb level, is buying in a better location still the better option?
3. Would you be able to run through the process of buying a property? Could you run through a quick, step-by-step process of what happens when?
