29 | Common Mistakes when Investing in Property in Australia

29 | Common Mistakes when Investing in Property in Australia

We’ve all made mistakes in life. Some are relatively harmless but when it comes to high-value transactions such as investing in property, the stakes are higher. So this time on The Property Couch podcast, Bryce Holdaway and Ben Kingsley list out a few common mistakes that they’ve seen people make in their investment journey.The first mistake is underestimating the importance of having a good lending strategy and structure. One investment property will not be sufficient to provide you with a self-funded retirement so in time, you will need to buy another one and if you messed up your lending structure from the start, you might not be able to achieve your full potential in your portfolio. One of the common regrets that Bryce and Ben have heard before is the investor’s drive to look for lenders that offer them the least interest payable has clouded their decision for better borrowing power and eventually, a better asset.Listen to this podcast to find out the other four mistakes that a property investor often makes.Free Resources mentioned in this podcast:Ben’s short presentation: Fear/Procrastination vs. Greed – The Balancing ActMoney Magazine article: Earn $55k a year in rental incomeIf you like this podcast: “Common Mistakes When Investing in Property”, don’t forget to rate us on our iTunes channel (The Property Couch Podcast) and our Facebook page.

28 | Is the Property Market Oversupplied & What's Happening in the Lending Sector?

With dwelling approvals remaining close to record high levels and the latest housing credit data suggesting a slowing investment credit growth, will this lead to an oversupply in the Australian property market? On top of that, how is the lending sector affected by the recent changes put in place by Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA)? All these factors are a cause for concern for most property investors especially when there is a lack of awareness in this industry.So in this episode, Bryce Holdaway and Ben Kingsley will be discussing if our property market is oversupplied and which areas will be affected by this market movement. They will also be discussing the recent changes made by APRA, how will it impact property investors and what can investors do to ensure their property plan remains on track.Other episodes mentioned in this podcast:Four Pillars of Mastery seriesEp. 016 – 5 Essential Steps to Property Investing in AustraliaEp. 017 – Who’s your Personal Banker?If you like this podcast: “Is the Property Market Oversupplied & What’s Happening in the Lending Sector?”, don’t forget to rate us on our iTunes channel (The Property Couch Podcast) and our Facebook page.

In their everyday role as Buyers' Agent and Property Investment Advisors, Bryce Holdaway and Ben Kingsley have seen many buyers who are either too afraid of the auction campaign or unsure of what to do in the process. Well, as Bryce mentioned in this podcast, an auction is a necessary evil. It favours the seller and the agent. But ultimately, as a buyer, you shouldn’t be afraid of it. Do your due diligence and embrace it with confidence but never turn down an investment-grade property simply because it’s going to auction.So to help you guys out there who are currently searching for properties or are going for an auction this weekend, here are some tips for buying at auction from the property experts that can help you prepare for what is to come.Free Resources mentioned in this podcast:Value Series: Auction Tips (Part 1)Value Series: Auction Tips (Part 2)Value Series: Auction Tips (Part 3)Value Series: Auction Tips (Part 4)If you like this podcast: “Tips for Buying at Auction in Australia”, don’t forget to rate us on our iTunes channel (The Property Couch Podcast) and our Facebook page.

26 | Q&A - Property through Trust, Renovating stablished properties, Gentrification and Investing in Regional Centre

We have been receiving a lot of great suggestions and questions from our listeners! If you have submitted a question on property investing in Australia and have yet to hear a response from us, don’t worry. We will get to you as soon as we can. In this week’s podcast, Bryce Holdaway and Ben Kingsley will be addressing some topics:Property in Trust from Christ: Can you address investing in trusts? In particular, purchasing property through trust and transferring currently owned investment properties into a family trustTax benefits in renovating established properties from Christian: One of the topics that got me interested was Tax Depreciation. I already have a depreciation schedule, but the one thing that plays on my mind – is whether it is worth renovating an established property? Is there a rule of thumb that I should use to determine whether my investment property needs to undergo renovation? Is there a golden rule to this on when is the best time?Gentrification questions from Andy: What are gentrification and its signs? Does this take a long time to happen? What are the positives and negatives of buying in a suburb that hasn’t had it or is in the process of having a face lift/demographic change? Investing in Regional Centre from Lewis: Can you offer any advice regarding property investment in a regional centre? Often there are a lot of stones unturned in these markets. I am based 30km from the coast in Central Queensland and medium/high-density development is a relatively new concept to most buyers in this area. However, recently completed projects have shown a real interest in this type of offering versus detached dwellings and I am wondering how to interpret this.For access to The Property Couch’s media kit, please email us here: [email protected] you like this Q&A episode, don’t forget to rate us on our iTunes channel (The Property Couch Podcast) and our LISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >> MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform: https://www.moorr.com.au/ FREE MASTERCLASS:- How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >> FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple Again FIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube

25 | Q&A - High LVR, Capital Gains Tax, Cross Colaterisation and SMSF Property

It's Questions and Answers time! Thanks for all the suggestions on new topics to cover in this podcast. For today’s episode, Bryce Holdaway and Ben Kingsley will be addressing questions from:High Loan to Value Ratio (LVR) question from Andy: As a relatively new investor, would you recommend gearing as many of my initial purchases at 90-95% LVR as possible to help get ahead early on and do you foresee a lot of the banks starting to restrict this type of lending going forward with the interest rates currently so low. If you do recommend it, how do we best manage the risk for the first few years until the properties grow and loans come down to the 80% mark? Capital Gain Tax (CGT) question from Paul: It would be great if an episode could cover “capital gain tax“. I have recently had to sell an investment property due to lifestyle decisions but didn’t incur any charges as it was my first place. In future, if I have to sell to upgrade to a bigger investment It would be great to know the CGT laws in each state.Cross Collateralization from Andrew: In recent Episode 20 you touched on cross collateralisation and while it is not the best option, I  was wondering if you could expand on where you might need to use it, why you would use it, what extent would you use it and how would you un-cross collateralise your portfolio?SMSF and Property from Billy: I’m interested in using a Self Managed Super Fund to invest my super in property. I’d like to hear your opinions on this subject. Would you recommend SMSF Property or not? For access to The Property Couch’s media kit, please email us here: [email protected] you like this Q&A episode, don’t forget to rate us on our iTunes channel (The Property Couch Podcast) and our Facebook page.

24 | Seven Habits of Highly Effective Property Investors

24 | Seven Habits of Highly Effective Property Investors

Drawing from Stephen Covey’s book and as promised in the previous episode (Exit Strategy in Property Investment), this week our hosts talk about the Seven Habits of Highly Effective Property Investors. Some of our listeners have asked us before about having the right mindset when investing in property and this episode sort of ties in with that. Bryce and Ben list out the seven habits that Dr. Covey talks about and explain how we can use them in property investment.The first habit is to be proactive. As Bryce mentioned in the podcast, you won’t achieve Financial Freedom unless you take a step forward to make it happen. It is not going to happen by osmosis or by default. You need to get off your chair, overcome some conditioning and take action. Bryce and Ben will also be sharing some of the stories from their own personal journey as an investor and an advisor.

23 | Exit Strategy in Property Investment

23 | Exit Strategy in Property Investment

This week on The Property Couch podcast, Bryce and Ben talk about planning ahead and having an Exit Strategy when investing in property. As Stephen Covey once said, “Begin with the End in Mind”. We think this concept can be applied to property investors as well. Now, there are a few exit strategies out there and as we’ve always emphasized, each household is unique and hence each investor’s exit strategy would be different. But generally, there are two main categories; either you buy and sell or you buy and hold. Under these categories, there are sub-categories and different scenarios where it’ll suit you better. Bryce and Ben will be discussing these exit strategies today so make sure you tune in!Also, the Money Magazine Cover Story that we have been talking about is out. Grab one off the Newsstand today and let us know what you think!If you like this podcast: “Exit Strategy in Property Investment”, don’t forget to rate us on our iTunes channel (The Property Couch Podcast) and our Facebook page.

22 | Q&A - Building & Pest Inspection, Rentvesting and Next Wage Growth Hotspot

It's Questions and Answers time! Thanks for all the suggestions on new topics to cover in this podcast. For today’s episode, Bryce Holdaway and Ben Kingsley will be addressing questions from:Building and Pest Inspection question from Mark: How do I find a good quality building and pest inspector with the property market being so hot with auctions at the moment, how do I ensure I don’t burn through my deposit money when constantly missing out on auctions?  I could end up wasting thousands on inspections until I actually win at auction! Should I try doing it myself and find a friend or family member with some building knowledge or use one of the smartphone apps?Rentvesting question from Ryan: What are your thoughts on the property investor or herself buying and living in their own PPR or renting? Obviously, both have advantages, a place to call home or the ability to keep investing without losing potential borrowing capacity.Next Wage Growth Hotspot from David: As mentioned on previous podcasts, investors will want to avoid “glass ceilings” in terms of capped wage growth in certain areas.  Given the changing Australian economy (more knowledge-based), are there particular areas of Australia in which you expect to see wage growth occurring?If you would like to access The Property Couch’s media kit, please email us here: [email protected] mentioned in this podcast:When should you Conduct A Building and Pest Inspection?What is Rentvesting and Is It For You?If you like this Q&A episode, don’t forget to rate us on our iTunes channel (The Property Couch Podcast) and our Facebook page.

The debate on negative gearing and how it impacts the Australian Property Market is ongoing but when the RBA suggested that negative gearing might be up for a review last week, the debate got hotter.

17 | Who's Your Personal Banker?

Did you know, to be a great Property Investor… you need to be great in Finance!This means you need to understand how to access money, and most importantly, understand how to use Leverage.Yep, that’s right! And to better understand this concept, we’re drilling down into the Borrowing Power pillar, found in our Four Pillars of Mastery framework.In theory, investors are supposed to be thinking of 2 properties or loans in advance, whilst setting up their current property.Of course, the reason we said this, in theory, is because most investors simply don’t know how to achieve this as they lack the knowledge and experience.So, what happens next? Well, unfortunately, they go to the bank hoping that the bank or lender will sort it out for them, but what folks forget is…the banker works for the bank!Bankers typically don’t have the capacity to conduct a thorough analysis of all investors’ loan strategies and structures. It’s kinda like going to the GP and asking them to perform knee surgery (not safe or practical!)That’s why in today’s episode we’re discussing how to maximise your leverage, the difference between cross-securitisation to stand-alone lending (Hint: you should definitely avoid 1 of them)…AND why you should choose a specialist over a generalist EVERY TIME.We’re also looking at the strategy and structure behind good lending and who your personal banker should be!   Tune in now folks    Free Stuff Mentioned:  Just starting your property investing journey?

15 | Real Life Property Investing in Australia - Case Study

While we’ve been sharing tons of wisdom with you over the past few weeks…Today we’re putting knowledge into practice with the podcast’s first case study from Aaron, a valued listener of The Property Couch!Aaron asks:  “Why do some apartments that seem to tick all the boxes just don’t appreciate in price over time? This block at Brunswick is close to public transport, schools, cafes and lifestyle but based on the comparable sales, the apartments have only achieved very little, if any, price gain since 2010.Your podcast has been saying “Location First, Property Next”, but I’m confused with this property. Why is this place so cheap? If it’s because of the property itself, does it mean the location is not always the biggest factor? And finally, should investors seriously consider properties like this or stay clear?”We’re unpacking each question and running through the 3 crucial filters you need to be applying to every property.This includes explaining how this property might appear to tick all the boxes, but why it’s actually scoring none!  If you are interested in investing in apartments, check out Episode 7 as well where we talked about investing in One Bedroom and Studio Apartments.We’ll also be sharing who the #1 person you must impress as a property investor is, and what shining oversize means!So strap in folks, we’re doing a deep dive into this multi-layered question!   Free Stuff Mentioned:  Just starting your property investing journey?

9 | Buying Counter Cyclical

Buying in a heated market is kinda like jumping off a cliff because everyone else is jumping……many investors start buying any old investor stock (Call it a classic case of the FOMO), but the problem is, how do you know that a heated market hasn’t already reached its peak before you even jump in? The answer is: Sometimes to get ahead, you’ve got to take the road (or cliff) less travelled! (We might be going overboard with this analogy).In this case, it’s using a counter-cyclical strategy.Today we’ll be exploring what this is, the benefits it can bring, and how becoming a borderless investor could be best for you!But remember folks: Each state has its own cycle, and it’s not always easy to tell WHERE the market currently is!To help you determine this, we’re sharing a fantastic resource called CoreLogic Monthly Housing & Economic Chart Pack. This pack allows you to see how each state’s property market has performed over the past 30 years! (Just click on the image to download the report now!).The message today folks is it’s all about market timing and avoiding making rash decisions.

6 | Four Pillars of Mastery – Defence

Folks, it’s scary to watch investors pour bucketloads of time and money into budgeting and buying a property, to then not invest in any protection! This is exactly why we’re homing in on the fourth and final part of our ABCD Property Investment Formula series: Defence!Previously, we’ve spoken about Cash Flow Management, Borrowing Power and Asset Selection. If Asset Selection is the favourite of the Four Pillars, then Defence is definitely the least favourite. Most investors are always on the lookout for new investments or new ventures to go into, but the most important asset is actually the investor themselves.That’s why we’re looking at…HOW to minimise risk across Asset Selection, Borrowing Power and Cash Flow Management… WHO you shouldn’t be taking advice from…. (Hint: Ben and Bryce have declared enemies of these types of advisors )WHY you should be investing in certain policies and mortgage brokers…And why mining towns aren’t the ideal investment – especially if it’s your first property!So don’t end up like some of the people that Ben references in today’s podcast, or spend years investing to be blindsided by weak defence…Tune in and get smart with our final pillar in the Property Investment Formula!  Free Stuff Mentioned:  Just starting your property investing journey?

3 | Four Pillars of Mastery – Cash Flow Management

Do you know the ABCD’s of property investing?? Yep, we’ve spent years defining this Property Investment Formula (which we like to call the ABCDs) that every property investor should master!!That’s right, there’s a science behind investing; property investment is not just a transaction.So get excited folks because over the next four episodes we’ll be deep-diving into the four pillars which make up this Property Investment Formula:  A – Asset Selection (what property to buy) B – Borrowing Power (how to set up your loan strategy and structure) C – Cashflow Management (how to trap more surplus) D – Defence (how to protect yourself and your portfolio) BUT REMEMBER, while this acronym makes it easy to remember each “ABCD” Pillar, this is NOT the order in it should be implemented in.Most people tend to start with “A” – the property itself… aka Asset Selection – this is NOT where you should start!
