The Armchair Guide to Property Investing

Folks, just a heads up: ripper episode coming your way!

To give you roughly an idea of what we mean: we even flew up to Sydney to check out an epically-renovated property, and to have a sit-down chat with three wonderful women.

Why three? Well, folks, today we’re interviewing Lana, Bonnie and Erin of Three Birds Renovations! And if you’re not familiar with them, we’d urge you to check them out! Here’s why… these three best friends left their jobs to renovate properties, film the whole thing, and show Australians how to flip houses for a profit! AND they’re nailing it. In a really big way.

They’ve done flips, forever homes; the works. Not to mention, they’re also finishing up on house number 9… so, let’s just say, they’ve got some hot renovation tips coming your way!

Oh, and did we mention… these women’s energy is seriously contagious… this is probably our funniest episode yet!!!

Here’s what you’re in for…

• Why did they quit their job, and start flipping properties?
• How do their personalities drive their renovation business?
• How do you find, and keep a good tradie?
• Do Three Birds Renovations divide every cost between three?
• How did they manage their first flip?
• What are the legal requirements of property “flipping”
• How much should you spend on a renovation?
• How long did their first renovation take? And how much did they make on that renovation?
• What percentage spend should you spend on a cosmetic renovation?
• What renovation tips can earn you the most money?
• Can you make a renovation “magazine worthy?” on a budget?
• What was the most financially successful property?
• At what stage of a renovation should you focus on the landscaping?
• When should you start preparation plans?
• Do you always make a profit on renovations?

No one wants their most expensive decision to be fumbled, delayed or up in the air come D-day… so today, folks, we’re giving you the settlement solutions BEFORE you need them!

And it’s a little bit like taking a peek into a future that’s just around the corner.

How do we know? Well, joining us today is Lisa Dowie, Chief Customer Officer at Property Exchange Australia Ltd (PEXA), Australia’s online settlement platform. No, she didn’t arrive by a hovercraft or drop in via teleportation, BUT, yes, she’s talking about the digital future in settlements that’s here (and in use) right now and WILL take over the simple A4 paper and pen in less time than you think.

So we’ve got Lisa on to tell you the latest and greatest in property — like what specifics you need to know for a smoother settlement process, why buyers and sellers need to welcome the digital shift and, let’s be honest folks WHEN all this is seriously going to rock the boat.

If you’re reading this, you’re probably keen on property investing — regardless of whether or not you’re a beginner or a multimillion-dollar property portfolio owner… or somewhere in between.

And chances are you also like to have a life too, right? Because folks, at the end of the day, while hard work’s rewarding and a passive income’s exciting, there are also other factors competing for your time and attention, and — let’s face it — other things you’d prefer to do, like put your feet up (and watch the Pies and the Dockers if you’re us), or simply relax with your loved ones doing what YOU love most.

Realistically folks — if you invest in property the right way from the get-go, you shouldn’t have to sacrifice your life. It’s that simple. But it’s not always easy to get this balance right.

So, that’s where today’s VERY SPECIAL episode comes in. Yep, it’s very special because…

1. It’s OUR LIVE SHOW IN SYDNEY where we answer our Property Couch Tribe’s questions… which just might be very similar to the ones YOU have!
2. It’s a LIVE GUIDE to help you prioritise your property investment journey AND still have a life!!

 Yep. Reclaim market confidence, get through the “messy middle”, cut the noise and let’s get some good ol’ honest advice!

*** Oh, and folks — make sure you tune in till the end for a special announcement from Ben! ***

And, folks — PICA NEEDS YOUR VOICE

PICA has started a petition to campaign against Labor’s poorly thought-through Negative Gearing and Capital Gains policy positions. Although Labor is not in Government at the Federal level, they plan to take this policy to the next election.

PICA has serious concerns about what this would mean for the economy, jobs and property prices across Australia.

We are calling on all Australians who don’t want to see the value of their property fall, or who don’t want to see our economy potentially falling into recession, to put your name to this petition.

PICA’s goal is to reach 100,000 signatures before the next election to help Labor understand that this policy is dangerous to the property market and the economy as a whole.

Please
