- What do you think about fractional property investing - companies like BrickX and Bricklet?  - I've got some cash and wondering whether I should use it to buy an investment or pay down my home debt. What do you think is best?  – We just bought a new house and have the luxury of being able to turn our old house into an investment property. What would be the reasons for and against doing that? 

In this episode of the Investing for Life podcast, host Douglas Isles interviews a guest with infectious enthusiasm, entrepreneurial drive and vision. Anthony (‘Ant') Millet is Global Partner and co-lead of Global Capital at Antler, providing institutional grade access to Global Venture Capital from the earliest of stages, through heavily curated, diversified, unique and proprietary portfolios.  But it wasn't always smooth sailing. Ant made an incredibly difficult, emotional decision to leave an illustrious investment banking career in 2008 to join the family business, quickly running out of cash. The challenge of transforming ActivInstinct from one High Street store into a leading global online sports retailer and multi-channel operator unlocked his deep passion for problem solving and innovation. A passion he ultimately took to FinTech BrickX as CEO, scaling the business to over 12,000 investors, before joining Antler. "When I joined there was a website that was barely functional, completing three to five orders a day. We ultimately grew it over five years into a business doing about a million orders a year, launched into nine countries." One of Ant's greatest personal discoveries during those five years was how to operate in a mode where failure was “not an option”. This conversation explores his leap of faith and a key pivot in his career, how he overcame early setbacks, and how he applied those hard lessons learned to shape his future career pathway.   Tune in to hear more about: His family business turnaround story, the decisions made, and challenges faced along the way; Ant's views on whether one is born with – or learns – entrepreneurial grit, based on his own childhood experiences; His less-than-linear career path from investment banking to family sports shop to global e-commerce success story to scaling BrickX to his role with Antler today;  His reflections on the "golden age of innovation" from his time working in the US; and How Ant perceives and approaches risk, and how he deals with ‘failure'.     Investing for Life is hosted by Douglas Isles, Platinum Asset Management.Disclaimer: Issued by Platinum Investment Management Limited ABN 25 063 565 006, AFSL 221935.

Episode 83 | BrickX? What is it and are there better options? by Dave Stockbridge

Noises will be teleported from whatever device you may be listening to this with and will go into your ears! It's magic! (podcast magic) This week, our guest is Famed Country star, Brickx Mainstream! 

Anthony Millet, director of BrickX, which offers a new model of getting onto the property ladder “one brick at a time”. This is NOT a sales pitch, rather an exploration of what it means when a “lumpy asset” is broken down into “bricks” that can be sold one at a time. Here's what we cover: What is fractional property investment? What's been the best performing investment over the past 20 years. The benefits of liquidity and the power of cash. Why property can't be measured like your share portfolio. Issues with diversification. The philosophy underpinning blue chip investment property. Why venture capitalists are liking this model. How much gearing is required to make a blue chip property positive geared. Why you should not use your credit card to buy investments. Short term versus long term property investment. A potential market adjustment resulting from changes to negative gearing. What drives the flight to safety in times of crisis. The affordability problem and what's really caused it. Fundamentally any investor MUST remember that quality beats quantity, so listen and let us know what you think about this as an option.

It’s no secret that property is expensive in Australia – it can be pretty disheartening for those trying to get into the property market especially if you’re trying to buy your first home. So, in today’s episode we’ll be covering off how to buy property using what’s called a fractal investment. It’s about getting into the property market in small increments rather than the traditional way. Getting into the property market can be risky, costly, time consuming. Rather than buying a full property yourself, you buy a portion (fraction) of a property – “Fractal property investments” There has been an increase in fractal investing over the past few years as people have been having trouble getting into the property market by buying property outright. People struggle to Build deposit – most cases $60k to $100k in cash savings Getting a loan – banks are tightening requirements Have time to find property (want to make sure it returns) or manage it Option of Buyers agents Property managers All of these together go in the too hard basket What are the alternatives? Online property investment platforms Allow for the investment into property for around $100 at a minimum, rather than buying the property outright Two companies doing this - Brickx, CoVesta How do they work? Unit Trust Structure Trust is created with 10,000 Units - Trust buys the property Gearing – Generally levels don’t exceed 50% Select a property you like Buy your Bricks/Blocks Transaction fees: 1.75% Earn rental income - Distribution payment calculation Gross Rental Income – (strata levies + water rates + council rates + maintenance + management fees + annual audit and valuation fees + property taxes + debt interest + principal repayments + other costs) = Net Rental income Capital returns Valuations Independent external property valuations are performed semi-annually Serves as a price guide – Not what the units are sold for Valuations go up – Guides for what bricks should sell for does as well Shares example – Almost like valuations vs price Price of the units – Based on supply and demand Sell the Bricks at a later date If you want to sell – list your units for sale Members have to then buy this off you What you sell for – Brick Price is determined by Member Supply and Demand Selling Brickx – List the Brickx sell price and number you want to see Average sale time is about 22h 1m. Whilst these investments are quite liquid, it can be a double-edged sword; The Pros Start building a property investment portfolio Diversification – Buy units in a range of properties No hassle – Easy to purchase and takes care of management Structure – Unit trusts are transparent No risk to you if other owners going default The Risks: Run on property – If lots of people list and no buyers, then values go down Someone has to be willing to buy you units (brickx/blocks) Unit trusts can be frozen if too many people try and sell Gearing – Capped at 50% in most cases Good for protection against declines Bad against Interest only loans You don’t get any of the tax offsets Trust structures don’t allow the losses to flow through Summary Good way to get a toe (or toe nail) into the property market Easy way to start the property investments Not without risks though – Likely to be more volatile if everyone tries to sell Thanks for listening!

In this episode, Founder and Publisher of The Urban Developer Adam Di Marco will speak with Anthony Millet, CEO of the disruptive Australian property platform, BrickX. So, what exactly is BrickX, I hear you ask? Well, it is a fractional investment platform that has democratised the property investment platform for all Australians. By allowing people to invest in a ‘brick’ - that is, one 10,000th of the value of a typical investment property - investors can now enter the highly competitive Australian market for a fraction of the price… in some cases, less than $100. Founded in 2014, the platform has since grown at a tremendous pace. Now, it should be worth noting that since we’ve recorded this podcast, BrickX has received an investment from Westpac’s Reinventure Group and was recently awarded the a suite of awards from Canstar, AREA and Fintech business. We sat down with Anthony in the middle of 2017. Over the course of 20 minutes, we’ll be talking about: How Anthony’s personal journey has taken him from turning a struggling family business around in his native UK to the CEO of one of Australia’s hottest startups; We look at how a intense affordability pressure, a property boom, new technology and the ‘power of the crowd’ created the perfect conditions for Brick to flourish; And finally, we’ll explore Anthony’s thoughts on what the future of home ownership is in Australia and how BrickX will likely play out in the future.

"Dans le langage il y a une banalisation de la violence. Les mots peuvent faire mal. On serait bien inspirés d'inverser les scénarios." La troisième édition du Festival Creart'Up, lancé par la Ville de Paris, se tiendra les 24-25-26 à la Tour des Dames et au Point Éphémère. Son objectif est d'accompagner des projets culturels audacieux sur la voie de la professionnalisation et présenter la contribution des étudiants au dynamisme et à la vie culturelle du territoire parisien. Pour en parler, nous recevons Tina Biard et Anahïd Zahouri, accompagnés Camille Teyssier et Florian Plamont lauréats d'une précédente édition avec l'application Brickx disponible sur Android. "On crée une forme de chasse au trésor dans le 11e arrondissement pour découvrir la ville autrement."

“There is no other financial product out there, that gives you exposure to the housing market without buying a house itself.” This month on Property Insiders, David sits down with Anthony Millet, entrepreneur and CEO of BRICKX, a unique and exciting new opportunity in the property investment market. BRICKX is an online platform that allows people to invest in property on a fractional basis. Practically, this means that BRICKX will purchase a property, which is then divided into 10,000 units - or Bricks - which are made available to investors for purchase.  Currently, each Brick costs between $58 and $154, and investors are able to own up to a 5% share in each property. Investors benefit from their share of the monthly rental income, and every six months BRICKX properties are revalued so Brick investors can watch their investments grow.  BRICKX can be used by anyone, but investors include those who have never invested before or entered the property market, as well as seasoned property investors seeking greater diversification.  BRICKX will also soon be able to offer a Rent-to-Buy scheme, where future home-owners will pay a 5% deposit on a property, and then be given a 5 year lease to live there. The occupiers then keep on buying bricks until they’ve amassed at 20% share, at which point they are able to buy the property with a regular commercial mortgage. BRICKX is focused on Blue Chip suburbs, including some of the best suburbs in Australia with long-term high growth profiles. In Sydney, BRICKX offers properties in Double Bay, Bondi Beach, Mosman, Manly, Potts Point, Surry Hills, Annandale, Enmore, and Balmain. In Melbourne, investors can buy Bricks in Port Melbourne, Prahran, and Brunswick West. And their newest accusation opens the Adelaide market up to Brick investors with a property in St Peters. When investors decide to sell their Bricks, they will find it an easy process. To date, they have had over 150,000 transactions and Bricks are currently being sold within 14 hours. Such a situation gives investors, and particularly deposit-savers, greater freedom in managing their investment, allowing them to easily sell their position should their circumstances change. One of the positives of BRICKX is that being an investor will not impact on a person’s ability to access the first home buyer’s grant or stamp duty exemptions. Anthony comments that they are seeing people get to home ownership through using BRICKX. Any capital gains on Bricks are still eligible for the reduction if held for more than 12 months. Additionally, investors still get the benefits of depreciation as BRICKX is a widely-held trust with more than 300 investors. However, as a financial product investors do have to pay tax on the income they receive as part of the rental yield. Performance Property Advisory acts as a buyer for BRICKX and is proud to do so.   About your host, David McMillan During his 16 years in the property industry David has worked as a property valuer and property adviser to private clients, financial planners, accountants, finance brokers, major banks and governments. He has been involved in more than $500M worth of transactions across Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia & Queensland. Since 2009, David has been specifically focused on helping medical professionals, expats, business owners and busy executives build effective property portfolios. David is a fully licensed real estate agent in Victoria, South Australia and Queensland (CEA), Certified Practicing property Valuer (CPV), Qualified Property Investment Advisor (QPIA) and most importantly is an active property investor. David joined the Australian Property Institute in 2001 and is now an Associate (AAPI) and in 2009 became a member of the Real Estate Institute. David currently sits on the board of Property Investment Professionals of Australia (PIPA) to promote ethics in the property investment industry. About David’s guest, Anthony Millet With a passion for property and technology, Anthony’s mission is to make property ownership and investing affordable and accessible to all Australians.

Prior to joining BRICKX, Anthony was responsible for building one of Europe’s largest e-Commerce businesses in the Sports and Outdoors sector.
