Don’t Buy Just Because It’s Cheap | Ep. 24

You get what you pay for. This is a common proverb that is thrown around a lot in reference to low-priced goods and services. But, this is absolutely true for higher priced goods such as property too. When it comes to investing in property, cheap isn't always good. In fact, if it's too good to be true, it probably is.

Avoid Missing Out On The Deal | Ep. 23

Once the initial research is done, it's time to get the property off the market.

First-time investors can often find this part of the process quite daunting because it is the first real step toward purchasing the property.

However, investors should take a lot of confidence that this step is safe and will not lock them into any agreements.

 When Can I See My New Property? | Ep. 22

It can be hard for first-time purchasers of off-the-plan property to grasp the concept of buying a property that doesn't exist yet.

The reality is, when you buy something off the plans, you're essentially just buying a concept.

For this reason, people want to know exactly when they can expect to see the property they purchased.

Cost To Own - What Else Could I Do With That Money | Ep. 21

It's no secret that investment properties can often cost you money each week to own.

This is due to the costs (mortgage payments, rates, insurance, etc.) outweighing the rental income you receive every year. Finding cashflow-positive properties can be few and far between, and a lot of investors think this is the end of the road for investing.

But, does a negative cashflow property mean property investment isn't worth it? No.

Let's see why.

 Why Would I Use a Mortgage Broker? | Ep. 17

Getting lending is one of the biggest obstacles investors faces when purchasing an investment property, so finding the right person to help you get the lending is essential. 

A lot of investors are unsure whether they should use a broker or go directly to the bank, so what’s the difference? 

At the end of the day, both the bank and the broker are trying to get you lending because they are incentivised to do so – that’s how they get paid. But there are more factors to think about than that...

Waiting to Buy Could be Killing Your Buying Power

Waiting to find "the perfect deal" could be losing you money and you just don't know it yet.

In theory, waiting until we reach the bottom of the market, or waiting until you find the best deal makes a lot of sense but is this achievable?

It's important to remember, we never know where the bottom of the market is until we've passed it. No one has a crystal ball and picking a winner is impossible, so picking the perfect time in the market just isn't feasible. Time in the market always beats timing the market.

Therefore, the best time to invest in property is when you're in a financial position to do so.

How Risky is Too Risky? | Ep. 15

Risk is everywhere.

You are susceptible to risk when you drive to work, walk to lunch, and everything in between; some of it you can control, and some of it you can't.

When it comes to investment risk, there are certain elements you can control and some you cannot. Once your money is invested in the property market, you are in some ways at the mercy of that market and your returns will be dictated by the performance of that market.
