May 16, 2019232 | Are All Tenants the Same?
Have you ever thought about WHO will be living in your investment property

Chances are, you have! Because folks… an investment property is pretty useless without a tenant/s in it!! After all, you need these guys to help pay off your mortgage!

So. Are they all the same??

What TYPES of tenants are out there and what can you expect from each one?

Well, here’s the deal… we think there are FOUR tiers of tenants.

Let’s meet them, shall we?

Oh, and FYI: Ben’s “Did You Know” is off the charts… we don’t think we’ve ever seen him this prepared in our podcast history — so make sure you stick around for that!!!

May 09, 2019231 | Q&A: How Will Changes to Negative Gearing Impact Investors?
Have you ever wanted to know how the changes to negative gearing will affect YOU???

Because folks, let’s face it… Labor’s policy to turn the lights out on negative gearing isn’t just going to affect the property market and potentially the ENTIRE Australian economy… the policy IS going to impact property investors, whether we like it or not.

So we want you to be prepared and know what’s coming our way! And that’s why earlier in the week, we asked our Facebook Tribe, “What’s your #1 Question on Negative Gearing?”

And, as you can imagine, today we’re going to be answering as many of these questions (there were LOTS) as humanly possible (well, without having this episode drag on for a day and a half!)

We’ll also be covering WHAT EXACTLY Labor is proposing to change, when these changes are officially kicking in, how it impacts the losses you can claim etc. etc. etc…

.. And PICA is also throwing a webinar TONIGHT at 7:00PM Thursday 9th May including a Market Update from Tim Lawless, Director of Research at CoreLogic as well as a deep dive into Negative Gearing and Labor’s policy. To watch, you need to be a PICA Member (or become a member for $5) — If you want to watch, you can find out more about the PICA webinar HERE.

May 02, 2019230 | From Residential to Commercial Investing: How this guy quit his Day Job at 28 – Chat with Scott O’Neill
Folks, if you’ve sussed out the title, you’ll know that today we’re visiting a space we don’t normally explore — and that’s investing in COMMERCIAL property!

If you’re a regular listener, you’ve definitely cottoned on to the fact that we obviously have an agenda towards residential investing but our bias doesn’t necessarily mean that you can’t reach success by other means of investing.

And walking proof of this is Scott O’Neill, Founder and Director of Rethink Investing who is an experienced and active investor who was able to RETIRE FROM HIS DAY JOB AT 28! Yep, VERY impressive. And he did it by investing in both residential property AND commercial property — mostly including well-selected unit blocks and small businesses that’ll likely be around for years to come.

With a portfolio of 28 properties, Scott’s passion and commitment have paid off in spades — he and his wife were able to take a 6 month sabbatical from working life and do nothing but travel Europe until, as it so happened, they grew bored of it and decided to teach others how to reach the same success instead!

So today we’re traversing Scott’s journey from residential to commercial property and picking up some pebbles of gold for you along the way:-)

April 25, 2019 229 | How to Release Your Money Fears - Chat with Denise Duffield-Thomas
Folks, did you know that almost all of us have buried “bad feels” about money lurking somewhere inside us?? And this contributes — rather significantly — to how we spend and earn our hard-earned money… whether we’re aware of it or not!

That long-forgotten moment you witnessed when you were five?? … Still remembered it! The way your parents spoke about money?? Basically, your psych has stored all your money stories somewhere… and these little tell-tales resurface at the best and worst of times. Say, when you’re putting yet another thing on credit or refusing to spend a single dollar more than simply surviving.

And if there’s one woman who knows ALL about this, it’s a certain someone who wrote a book called —let’s be honest, you’ve probably heard about it — Get Rich Lucky Bitch.

Joining us today is Money Mindset Mentor Denise Duffield-Thomas of LuckyBitch.com — aka the woman inspiring, mostly but not exclusively, other women on their very real “money blocks” and how to ditch their fears and simply get on with creating true wealth!! She’s a savvy entrepreneur and the well-respected author of, yes, Get Rich Lucky Bitch as well as Lucky Bitch.

Now… as two middle-aged fellas who are quick to admit we don’t have all the answers, we’ve gotta hand it to Denise — she, quite literally, is on the money here!! Obviously, we see A LOT of bad money managers and, sure, we’ve got our Money SMARTS Platform to solve this….. but today’s episode is a real eye-opener into WHY people are bad managers and how we can reach our absolute potential without lingering on the jitter-bugs from our past!

And folks … you can’t beat an expert in their field who’s “smoking what they’re selling”!!! So, let’s just say… Denise is CLEAR proof of this! Soon you’ll hear just how well her money story’s working out for her … and how you can steal her secrets to success!

Before we crack open the gold, if you’re looking for Julia Hartman’s “Property Tax Pack” that we released last week, you can DOWNLOAD the full Property Tax Q & A from Ep 226 and Ep 228 HERE

April 18, 2019 Bonusisode - Negative Gearing Policy removed from Labor's Homepage
Folks, if you haven’t noticed the level of activities that had been happening on our show recently, there were heaps of things going on regarding Labor’s Proposed Negative Gearing policies.
Long story short.. Two weeks ago, Ben as the Chair of Property Investors Council of Australia (PICA), discovered that Labor and the Parliamentary Budgeting Office (PBO) had been using incorrect data in their costing for the proposed Negative Gearing Policy.

Since then, Ben had been speaking to researchers, aggregators, politicians, lenders and real estate agents to find out what’s the actual rate of investors that are buying brand new properties vs existing ones. So far, it’s been found that the proposed Negative gearing savings could be overstated by up to $8 billion. This again highlights the importance of having the right data.

So last week, Ben was on the Money News Show with Ross Greenwood to discuss further about this discovery and he was also invited to the Housing Industry Forum to share his point of view as Chair of PICA.

And it looks like, he’s finally made an impact because now, you couldn’t find much information on the policy on ALP’s website!

We’re very excited that Labor and the PBO are updating their costing with good data now but the work’s not done. It’s important to include subject matter experts like the Master Builders Australia, Housing Industry Association, Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA), Property Council, Property Investment Professionals of Australia (PIPA), PICA and others to craft this policy together.

Again, as we mentioned before, we’re NOT against Labor.

We are NOT saying that we should leave Negative Gearing unchanged.

We are against the ill-prepared policy here. And if you agree with us, please share this with your network and hopefully, common sense would prevail.

April 11, 2019 227 | Exposed: “Dodgy Data” Driving Labor’s Negative Gearing Policy
Folks, let’s just say… it’s been a week!!!

You know that exclusive story we shared with you in last week episode?? Well, it’s, ahh, hit the headlines… BIG TIME!

Don’t know what we’re talking about? Here’s a Quick Recap…
Ben was listening to Chris Bowen (Shadow Treasurer of the Labor Party) on ABC’s Insiders: The Interview. Bold Statement made. Rather bold in fact (Listen to ABC’s audio here). Chris Bowen quotes that 96% of properties negatively geared are Established Properties. Ben nearly “loses his cornflakes”. Where had Labor got their data from???

Fast forward to today and not only do we know that the ABS data Labor used to model their negative gearing policy is, in fact, WRONG… but also Ben’s done a bit of behind-the-scenes leg work to expose the real data.

The result? You’ll find out EVERYTHING in today’s episode! But we WILL say this… our world exclusive has made front page news on the Financial Review and Chris Bowen himself has mentioned a certain “mortgage broker” (aka ol’ mate Kingsley) in an address yesterday.

Watch the National Press Club clip here on ABC iview here.

Hence, we’ve decided to push Julia’s “Part 2” property tax episode back a week because we think this breaking news is SERIOUSLY IMPORTANT for you folks!

Before we get into it, we do want to add that we are NOT questioning the methodology of the PBO and other expert economists responsible for the modelling work here — far from it. What we’re saying is the data they had access to was simply wrong. And without Labor approaching any of our industry experts prior to pushing the pedal on their modelling, the figures they’ve been telling the general public are and have always been, misinformed. And this, to be frank, can have quite dangerous consequences for the property market.
