Hey folks, it's that time again for our Monthly Economic and RBA update! This time around, Ben got his sight set on a few key things: RBA's November Board Meeting: We've all been eagerly waiting to see if the RBA is going to hike the cash rate again. This could mark the 13th time they've done it in this upward cycle. Find out more in this episode! Inflation Rant: Hold onto your hats because Ben got a bit of a rant brewing about inflation. Property Market Scoop: Of course, last but not least, the most popular part of Ben's RBA updates…. the latest data on the property market! But before we dive into all that, we can't ignore the elephant in the room – the heightened geo-political tensions and the Middle East conflict. This isn't just a humanitarian crisis; it's also making waves in the global economy. All this uncertainty and instability is putting a damper on global economic confidence, sentiment, and investment. Plus, it's affecting oil supply, prices, and trade, which is basically throwing a wrench into the works of the world economy. Let's cross our fingers for some speedy resolutions in the Middle East and Ukraine to ease these troubles. But for now, the world is feeling jittery and there's more downside risk ahead if these issues continue to weigh on developed economies.  We know these aren't uplifting news to share, but it's important to acknowledge the economic consequences tied to these global events.  And folks, if you're feeling the pinch with those rate hikes and worried about your cashflow in the next few months, we've got a couple of handy resources for you: A) MoneySTRETCH Tool on Moorr: This cool tool lets you play around with different scenarios and see how they impact your cashflow and savings right away. Learn more about MoneySTRETCH here >   B) Free Finance Checkup with our Award-Winning Crew: If you're looking to review yuor loans, our sister company, Empower Wealth recently snagged the Australian Brokerage of the Year award from the Australian Mortgage Awards, and they would be thrilled to assist you! Learn more about Empower Wealth's Mortgage Broking services here >   Alright, what are you waiting for?

“We know that the State Governments have all but abandoned public and social housing over the last decade in the tens of billions of dollars. And the people who have picked up the slack have been mum and dad property investors.” Ben Kingsley is David’s guest on this episode of Property Insiders. Ben is the host of his own podcast, The Property Couch, as well as being CEO of Empower Wealth and the current Chair of the Property Investors Council of Australia (PICA). Here he chats with David about what PICA is and what its plans for the near future. Ben explains that PICA exists to educate and advocate on behalf of property investors. A relatively recent group, it is not a group set up by business, but rather by other property investors in a response to proposed policy changes which may negatively impact upon the investment market. As opposed to PIPA - which serves the industry professional - PICA serves the consumer. PICA’s key goal is to represent its voter base, something it plans to do through providing members with opportunities to voice their views. PICA also seeks to help people understand property investment better. In addition, PICA wants to protect the rights of property investors through advocacy so investors won’t see a decline in their investment because of poor policy. They wish to find the right balance in regulation to improve the industry and protect member’s investments. Ben sees the biggest issues as being proposed changes to negative gearing and capital gains. These are not just problems for investors, but for everyone involved in housing: renters, homebuyers, and construction. In regards to negative gearing, price fluctuations may not be uniform across the state, meaning price reductions in some outer areas, which will push up prices in the inner city. State governments have fallen by the wayside with respect to investing in public and social housing, and it is small-time investors who have picked up the slack. They continue to drive demand with their investments, and if they were to leave the market, there would be no one to pick up the slack. To become a member of PICA, those interested can simply head to the website (pica.asn.au) and pay the $5 yearly fee (or $20 for 5 years). The funds collected are put towards policy responses and submissions, in particular relating to flagged changes to negative gearing and to tenants’ rights. Members are able to communicated their views to the board through petitions and open channels. PICA regularly updates its members on what is happening in the industry and is seeking independent assessments on the impacts of proposed policies. PICA is open to meaningful and constructive discussions around policy, and seeks a sustainable industry where property is available to everyone who wants to buy or invest.   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.
