In this latest episode of Help Me Buy Property Podcast, Me and John Lindeman joined forces to dissect the evolving landscape of the Australian housing market post-election. From the ripple effects of interest rate shifts to the government's ambitious (but questionable) housing promises, we explored what's really shaping the market right now — and what investors need to watch closely. In the latter part of the episode, we delved into recent trends across major cities, with Sydney still leading in median house prices, while Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth dominate in annual growth. However, despite government pledges to build 100,000 new homes, John explains why trade shortages and long lead times may leave those promises largely unfulfilled. Rental pressure continues to mount, and structural issues show no signs of easing. This episode is packed with real-time insights on why apartments in cities like Adelaide are gaining momentum, what's driving buyer behavior, and why acting now — especially in the outer suburbs of Sydney and Melbourne — might be your smartest move in 2025.

Back with another fabulous episode of Help me Buy Property Podcast with John Lindeman. This time, we dive straight into the importance of looking past current market noise to truly understand where real estate is headed. We discussed why a 24-month outlook may seem optimistic, while the 3- to 5-year horizon could tell a different, more complex story.

In this episode of the Help Me Buy Property podcast, Mr. Chuy from Strategic Brokers made a comeback to discuss more intriguing topics revolving around mortgage. During our discussion, we touched topics like loan porting and cross - collateralization and how these strategies can make all the difference for property investors. Mr. Chuy explained how loan porting is an incredibly useful tool that can allow you to transfer your existing loan to a new property when you sell your current one, something that's especially valuable if you locked in a lower interest rate before recent hikes. For investors looking to maintain stability while expanding their portfolios, loan porting can be a game changer. Then there's cross -collateralization - a strategy that may seem convenient but often causes more problems than it solves. During discussion, it was agreed that by using multiple properties as security for a single loan is a risk which means you are tying your hands when it comes to accessing equity or selling individual properties. If the market shifts and the value of one of your properties drops, you could find yourself in negative equity, where the amount you owe is greater than the property's worth. The conversation was wrapped up on this note that how important it is to have a knowledgeable broker by your side. A good broker can not only steer you clear of financial pitfalls but also ensure that the strategies you use - whether it's loan porting or something else - align with your long-term goals, helping you grow your portfolio with confidence.

In the latest episode of the "Help Me Buy Property" podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Graham Whitfield from Red Main Property Coaching, a true expert in renovations and property flipping here in Australia. We tackled nine crucial questions that renovators should consider before diving into a project. One of the key points we discussed was how to accurately price renovations through a thorough feasibility study. This means considering not just the purchase price but also holding and selling costs, while avoiding the trap of emotional overspending on upgrades that may not deliver returns. We also delved into the importance of effective project management to keep renovations on track, as delays can significantly escalate holding costs. Graham shared insights on the typical timeframes for renovations, noting that cosmetic upgrades usually take around six to eight weeks, while structural changes can stretch into several months. He advised against living in the property during renovations to maintain focus and streamline the process, which allows renovators to manage multiple projects more efficiently. Ultimately, our conversation highlighted the need for strategic planning, strong team relationships, and a solid understanding of market conditions to succeed in property flipping.

We explore the importance of financial education, the right mindset, and the value of a supportive network in achieving property investment success. Alina shares her experiences, key takeaways, and advice for young investors, emphasizing the significance of starting early and making informed decisions. We discussed the vital role of financial education and understanding the ins and outs of finance to make informed decisions. Another crucial aspect we explored was the importance of mindset. Alina highlighted how cultivating a positive and growth-oriented mindset helped her overcome obstacles. I resonated with her perspective on viewing challenges as stepping stones rather than roadblocks, and it made me reflect on my own experiences in the industry.Throughout our conversation, we also touched on the significance of having a supportive network. Alina shared how connecting with like-minded individuals provided her with invaluable insights, encouragement, and collaboration opportunities.

Cheryl and I focus on negative gearing, capital gains tax changes, and the current landscape of interest rates. We emphasized the historical trend where interest rates rise quickly but fall much more slowly, a crucial insight for investors to understand. Recent data indicates a significant 35% increase in investor lending, signalling that many are preparing for potential market shifts following any rate cuts. We discussed the importance of acting proactively rather than waiting too long and risking being priced out of the market. Another key point was the risk versus reward dynamic in property investing, particularly under higher interest rates. Many investors face substantial out-of-pocket costs, raising questions about their ability to sustain these expenses while awaiting rate declines. We discussed the strongest market responses to future rate cuts are likely to emerge first in higher-priced segments, eventually affecting lower-priced markets.

Cheryl and I discussed the future of the Australian real estate market, focusing on proposed changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax. The government is considering restricting negative gearing benefits to new properties only, which could lead to a rush among investors to purchase established properties before the changes take effect. This shift aims to reduce tax revenue loss, particularly given the current budget deficit. We also covered the potential reduction of the capital gains tax discount from 50% to 25%, significantly impacting investors' returns. Additionally, we explored how existing building shortages are driving demand for established properties, leading to rising rents and escalating prices. With potential interest rate cuts on the horizon, many investors may feel encouraged to act. We emphasized the importance of decision-making and consulting with property accountants to navigate these changes effectively. If you have questions or need support, don't hesitate to reach out.

Cheryl and I discuss how first home buyers can leverage government schemes to reduce their rent while entering the property market. We explore a unique strategy that allows buyers to purchase an apartment at a lower price point - around $500,000 to $550,000 - while simultaneously investing in another property. With the help of government assistance, buyers can minimize their upfront deposit, which frees up capital for additional investments. We explore real-life scenarios, including how one client successfully turned their apartment into an Airbnb, generating income that helped them buy more property. We also tackle common misconceptions about apartments and discuss the financial benefits of owning versus renting, emphasizing the importance of smart leveraging. If you're a first-time buyer with a solid deposit looking to navigate the market, this episode is packed with valuable insights and actionable strategies.

In this episode, Cheryl and I we dive into the nuances of property ownership and the implications of choosing between trusts and personal ownership. We discussed how high-income earners often approach their property portfolios from a tax perspective, highlighting that losses in trusts can't offset personal income. It's crucial to maintain a neutrally geared property portfolio, especially during growth phases, and we explored the benefits of combining personal and trust ownership for effective long-term tax planning. As we wrapped up, we emphasized that our ultimate goal should be net wealth creation rather than merely minimizing taxes. Whether you're a high earner or just starting out, these strategies can enhance your portfolio. I encourage you to work closely with your accountant to ensure you're maximizing your tax efficiency while focusing on building wealth for the future.Episode Highlights: 00:00 Welcome to Help Me Buy Property Podcast 04:00 Negatively Geared Properties 08:30 Understanding Tax Benefits 10:16 Negatively Geared Properties and Land Banking 13:53 Self-Managed Super Funds (SMSFs) 18:46 Risks and Limitations of SMSFs 19:53 Trust vs. Personal Ownership Click on the link below to buy Australian Bestseller “The Millennial's Guide to Property Investing” now! https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0CRF48GGR Resources: Visit the Investor Partner Group website: https://helpmebuy.com.au/ Join us on our FREE Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/helpmebuyau You can also connect with us on https://www.linkedin.com/company/77080688.

In this podcast episode, Rajan and I dive into the financial management of a large rental property with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms. If you're renting out each room, you could expect a substantial annual income. After accounting for various expenses, such as utilities, cleaning, and property management, you'd see a considerable net income, although this doesn't yet include mortgage payments. We also explore how property management fees affect your overall profitability. These fees can vary significantly, often ranging between 10% and 25% of your total income. For instance, if the management fee is on the higher end, it could substantially lower your net income. This highlights the importance of negotiating property management fees carefully; even a modest reduction can make a big difference to your returns. Effectively managing these costs is essential to maintaining the profitability of your rental property.

Rajan and I delved into the fascinating world of property valuations, especially for those quirky rooming houses that break the mold. We tackled the tricky topic of cash requirements and loan-to-value ratios (LVRs), uncovering why some financiers demand hefty deposits while others offer up to 90% LVRs. Rajan's insights help demystify this balancing act between risk and reward, potentially giving you that extra edge in your property dealings. We also explored how commercial valuations work for co-living spaces, which focus on rental income and capitalization rates rather than traditional methods. Rajan shared how this approach often results in favourable valuations, particularly once the property starts generating income. He even revealed how some clients have seen property values soar by 20-30%! Additionally, we discussed the exit strategy for these unique properties, with Rajan providing eye-opening stories about properties selling for significant premiums over their build costs. For anyone curious about navigating the valuation maze or seeking savvy investment tips, this episode is a treasure trove of insights on how property valuation works!

In this episode, Rajan Sharma and I dive into the financials and management of co-living properties, focusing on six-bedroom and nine-bedroom homes. Rajan explains that a six-bedroom, six-bathroom property can generate around $93,000 annually in gross income, with net earnings between $25,000 and $30,000 after expenses.For a larger nine-bedroom, nine-bathroom property, the gross income can reach $140,000, with net returns ranging from $45,000 to $50,000, assuming we maintain high occupancy rates of 95% to 98%. He emphasizes that achieving these returns depends heavily on factors like the property's location, management quality, and architectural design. Good design can significantly impact the property's rental potential, with well-planned layouts and appealing aesthetics attracting more tenants.We also discuss potential pitfalls, such as the risk of not achieving full occupancy and the complexities of securing council approvals. Rajan underscores the importance of thorough planning and having an experienced team to navigate these challenges effectively. He contrasts his team's approach with others in the market, who might face higher risks of delays and complications. This episode offers a detailed look at the opportunities and challenges in co-living property investments, highlighting the necessity of strategic planning, expert support, and thoughtful architectural design to maximize returns and ensure a successful venture.Episode Highlights:0:00 Welcome to Help Me Buy Property Podcast2:58 Pros of Six Bedroom & Six Bathroom Investment8:38 Typical return on nine-bedroom, nine bathrooms14:15 Legal Aspects of Co-living Investment16:56 Architects - Costs and Durations18:50: In-house Architects and Masterplans20:10 Approval from Councils on Masterplans25:50 Working Relationships With BuildersClick on the link below to download Australian Bestseller “A Millennial's Guide to Property Investing” now!https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0CRF48GGR Resources: Visit the Investor Partner Group website: https://helpmebuy.com.au/ Join us on our FREE Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/helpmebuyau You can also connect with us on https://www.linkedin.com/company/77080688.

Listen to our latest podcast as we dive deep into the world of rooming houses and co-living properties. I'm joined by Rajan Sharma, who breaks down what exactly a co-living property is, comparing it to traditional rental homes. We explore the financial benefits of co-living setups, like a six-bedroom, six-bathroom house generating up to $93,000 in gross rent annually versus a traditional four-bedroom, two-bathroom house. The discussion reveals that while co-living properties can offer higher cash flow, they also come with increased risks and responsibilities, especially when it comes to managing multiple tenants. We then tackle the realities of converting traditional homes into rooming houses. Rajan shares insights on the costs and challenges associated with these conversions. For instance, a typical conversion can cost between $100,000 to $200,000, and often results in higher maintenance and operational costs. Converting a four-bedroom, two-bathroom house into a rooming house might seem financially appealing at first glance, but the hidden costs and potential legal issues, including council approvals, can erode the anticipated profits. We discuss the high-end options: six-bedroom, six-bathroom homes and larger co-living setups. Rajan highlights the pros of these larger properties, including substantial cash flow potential and higher gross rental incomes. However, we also consider the practical implications, such as increased management complexity and maintenance. With all the details laid out, it's clear that while rooming houses and high-cash-flow properties can be lucrative, they require careful consideration and strategic planning to truly succeed.

Another exclusive episode where I and Alex Fedoseev discuss three hot property picks for the month. This time around the suburbs were covered according to cash flow, growth, and balanced strategies for properties in the price range of $450,000 to $650,000. The three hot picks of this month are carefully picked up from a data of hundreds of suburbs. The first hot pick is in Iron Pole, Victoria, which shows potential for long-term growth based on supply and demand indicators. The second pick is in Annandale, Townsville, offering high rental yields for cash flow-focused investors. While the third pick is in Mount Louisa, Townsville, which provides a balanced approach with potential for both short-term and mid-term growth. Alex Fedoseev actually emphasized on the importance of considering the story behind the data when making investment decisions. While it is important to go for due diligence when considering suburbs with high rental yields, it is equally important to make a wise decision by checking out the market trends as well as the demand and supply indicators.

The dynamic duo of Moxin Reza & Alex Fedoseev are back to discuss the hot picks for this month. In this episode, the main focus is on three types of properties: growth, cash flow, and balanced properties in the suburbs across Australia. As the market dynamics undergo a constant change, the criteria of picks also changes. This month the three hot suburb picks are: For growth, they highlight the suburb of Hillside in Victoria, which has a high potential for long-term capital growth. For cash flow, they recommend the suburb of Brinsmead in Queensland, which offers a good rental yield. And for a balanced strategy, they suggest the suburb of Greenwood in Perth, which offers a combination of growth and cash flow. It is very important to understand that these are mere recommendations, you need to do your own research when considering a potential suburb to invest.

Property investment is always considered a safe haven for investors and people who want to secure their wealth. This is not something out of the box, but should business owners invest in the property market? Is it a good decision in the long run and most importantly is this step beneficial for their business also? All these above-mentioned questions and a lot more are answered in this exclusive episode of our podcast where I and co-host Cheryl dive deep into this topic. Property investment offers business owners a strategic avenue to diversify their income streams and build long-term wealth. Unlike other investments, property can provide a steady cash flow through rental income, appreciate in value over time, and offer significant tax advantages. By investing in property, business owners can create a reliable financial buffer, leverage equity for future business expansions, and secure their financial future against market volatility. Not to forget, property investment can serve as a tangible asset that not only enhances the overall investment portfolio but also provides stability and security. We discuss in grave detail why business owners should invest in property and the strategies they can use to maximize their ability to invest outside of their business.

Granny Flats & Rooming Houses – heard these names before? I'm sure you would've if you are a keen observer and part of the property market. The question is, in the given scenario of the market – are granny flats and converted rooming houses a bad idea? In this episode, me and Cheryl discuss the pros and cons of granny flats and converted rooming houses as investment properties. There is nothing wrong in having granny flats as they can provide high rental yields, but simultaneously; the upfront costs and limited financing options can make them less profitable than they seem. Similarly, converted rooming houses can offer increased rental income, but the high operational costs and potential for low occupancy rates can eat into profits. It is advised to consider alternative strategies, such as building a second house on a splitter block or converting existing properties with existing equity.

Are you familiar with the concept of PPOR (Principal Place Of Residence)? This topic is not new but it always requires considerations and strategies to be implemented. In this episode, our hosts discuss PPOR in details while explaining what are the considerations and strategies that are mandatory. They emphasized on the importance of tax planning and consulting with an accountant to understand the tax implications of developing a PPOR. So, there are strategies like the develop and hold strategy, where homeowners add value to their property and rent out additional units. Then, another one is the develop and sell strategy, which involves selling the property after development. These strategies require margin scheme and capital gains while tax implications are imposed. We cannot deny the benefits of joint venture partnerships when PPOR is in the picture but one of the tough part is the taxation, so it is advised that without wasting time or experimenting, one should opt for professional advice from tax expert along with a thorough and deep feasibility analysis.

Learning the lending world from a perspective of a mortgage broker. Expert mortgage broker was invited ponce again to our podcast to discuss and explore trust lending but this time the details came from a mortgage broker. Our experts discussed the pros and cons of trust lending as well as the paperwork and cost attached to it. Banks are major institutions that can influence the lending environment through their limitations and restrictions, therefore, it is immensely important to understand the structures of trust in terms of asset protection, lending advantages and management of land tax. Banks are narrowing the gap between rates for owner-occupied and investment lending, making it a good time for investors to review their rates. There are signs that banks are easing their credit policies, such as offering higher loan-to-value ratios and shorter financial history requirements for self-employed borrowers. The second part of this episode comprises of the differences between standalone loans and cross-collateralized loans. Standalone loans are generally preferred over cross-collateralized loans due to the risks and limitations of the latter. Yet, both are equally important in the world of lending trusts.
