In today’s show, Brett Warren and I dissect Warren Buffett’s investing principles, especially as they could apply to the Melbourne property market.
We explore the value of long-term strategies, the importance of quality assets, and the need for solid cash flow.
We also discuss market cycles, how interest rates affect investments, and why it’s essential to have a safety margin.
Overall, we emphasise taking a strategic approach to property investment, aiming to build wealth steadily over time rather than chasing quick gains, discussing things like…
· Long-term wealth building requires patience and strategic planning.
· Market cycles are inevitable; timing the market is less important than “time in” the market.
· Quality assets are essential for long-term capital growth.
· Cash flow is crucial for sustaining investments during downturns.
· Investing in desirable locations can mitigate risks.
· A margin of safety protects investments from market fluctuations.
· Understanding demographics and trends is key to successful investing.
· Building a solid foundation takes time but pays off in the long run.
· Having a strategic plan is vital for navigating the property market.

Our housing markets have been remarkably resilient over the last year, despite high interest rates and even though the RBA didn’t drop interest rates this year, like many expected.
With inflation falling faster than expected, there is now the anticipation of rate drops early next year and it seems that the gloom that descended on Australian consumers 2 ½ years ago is finally showing signs of lifting.
What does this mean for our economy and housing markets?
That’s exactly what Pete Wargent and I discussed in today’s show.
We explore also the impact of government policies on property investment and analyze demographic trends affecting housing demand.
The conversation also touches on the challenges within the construction sector and the outlook for property investment in Australia, particularly in light of immigration and economic predictions for 2025.

Today, we're talking about property data.
We’ve all heard the saying, “The numbers don’t lie,” but what if I told you that relying too much on property data could actually lead you astray?
That’s exactly what my guest, Stuart Wemyss and I talk about today.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the endless stream of property market data or found yourself second-guessing your investment decisions because of some 'hot' new trend, then this episode is for you.
Stuart will break down which numbers you can trust, how to spot the indicators that matter, and why sometimes, the data can lead even the smartest investors down the wrong path.

Today we're going to talk about why medium prices may not be the best gauge for housing costs.
Now, if you're like most property investors or people interested in property, apart from auction results, medium prices are probably the most quoted statistic, but maybe they're not the right way for you to judge how our housing market's going. Maybe it's not the best benchmark, and my discussion today with leading demographer Simon Kuestenmacher may challenge some of your perspectives.

Today, we're diving into some timeless wisdom that has guided investors for decades, but with a twist—how these principles apply to property investment.
Ken Raiss and I will explore Benjamin Graham's teachings from his seminal book, The Intelligent Investor, a classic in the world of investing, often revered as the ultimate guide to building wealth.
Now, you might wonder, "What does a book written in 1949 about stock market investing have to do with property?"
Well, Graham's principles transcend asset classes, offering powerful insights into the psychology of investing, that are just as relevant to property investors as to those in the stock market.
So, Ken Raiss and I will translate Graham’s insights into actionable strategies for you for today’s property market. We’ll discuss how to apply these principles to build a resilient and prosperous property portfolio, one that can withstand market fluctuations and help you achieve long-term financial security.

In today’s show we discuss why the rich seem to have fewer problems and how, while money doesn't necessarily buy happiness, it certainly can create less unhappiness.
Together with Tom Corley, the co-author of my best-selling book Rich Habits Poor Habits, we challenge some common misconceptions and dig deep into why financial stability can alleviate many of life's stresses.
Of course, money doesn’t automatically equate to happiness; the rich have their problems and challenges as well.
Still, I’m sure you’ll find my conversation with Tom enlightening as he explains how his study shows that money can alleviate 58% of all the problems we experience.
So, let’s unpack these ideas and provide you with insights that can help you on your own journey to success and fulfillment.
