Commercial property is suddenly attracting a great deal more attention from investors.   Following the recent Federal Budget changes, some residential property investors are looking at warehouses, offices and shops and wondering whether commercial property offers a safer tax environment, stronger cash flow and a better way forward.   On the surface, the numbers can look very attractive, but by the end of this show, you're going to understand the real differences between commercial and residential property, the risks that most residential investors never see coming until it's too late, what's actually driving capital growth in commercial and industrial property right now, and most importantly, where commercial property fits, and doesn't fit, in your wealth creation journey.   Today I'm joined by Brett Warren, National Director at Metropole and someone who's helped hundreds of investors work through exactly this decision.   We unpack how recent tax changes are pushing some buyers toward higher-yield assets, but also why yield alone can be misleading.   We explore the key differences between commercial and residential property, especially how leases, tenants, and business conditions shape performance.   We discuss why industrial property is benefiting from e-commerce, logistics demand, and scarce well-located land.   We finish by showing where commercial property fits in a broader wealth strategy, and why timing, structure, and risk management matter most.   Takeaways    • Commercial property can lift cash flow, but higher income usually comes with greater risk. • Residential property generally suits wealth accumulation through long-term capital growth first. • Commercial values depend heavily on rent, lease quality, and tenant strength. • Vacant commercial premises can reduce income and also drag down capital value. • Longer leases can provide certainty, but they also delay rent resets to market. • Many commercial tenants pay outgoings, which improves net income for owners. • Good commercial purchases often need larger deposits and stricter lending terms. • Specialised buildings can be harder to re-lease when a tenant moves out. • Industrial property is gaining momentum because warehousing demand keeps rising. • Strong due diligence matters because the tenant's business becomes part of your investment risk.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.PropertyTrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multimillion-Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time. ·        Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report.   Michael Yardney   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan.

Is now the right time to invest in property… or should you wait?   Everyone wants to buy at the bottom and sell at the top. But what if trying to time the market is actually sabotaging your wealth?   Today I'm joined by Joseph Ballota to discuss whether timing the property market is a good idea.   And by the end of this episode, you'll understand why long-term investors don't try to pick the cycle… they build wealth across multiple cycles.   Joseph and I discuss why trying to time property markets usually backfires, especially when headlines are loud and confidence is shaky.   We unpack how property moves in cycles, and why short-term fear can distract investors from long-term wealth creation.   I share why there's rarely a perfect time to buy, and why being financially ready matters more than waiting for ideal conditions.   We look at how different markets and suburbs behave differently, even when the broader market looks weak.   I also explain why quality assets, strong fundamentals, and patience matter far more than chasing the exact bottom of the cycle.   Takeaways    • Property markets move in cycles, so short-term fear often obscures long-term opportunity. • Waiting for perfect timing usually means missing strong buying opportunities entirely. • Different suburbs perform differently, even during the same broader market downturn. • Owner-occupied, affluent areas usually hold value better than investor-heavy suburbs. • Strong population growth keeps demand high in Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide. • Tight rental markets can lift rents even while property prices temporarily soften. • Borrowing capacity matters, but confidence usually drives the next market recovery. • Quality assets compound over decades, making timing less important than selection. • Counter-cyclical investing sounds smart, but fear stops many investors from acting. • Strategic planning helps investors avoid emotional decisions and build lasting wealth.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.PropertyTrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of Negotiate Influence Persuade. ·        Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report.   Michael Yardney   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan.

O Aos Fatos desta segunda-feira (10) destaca a declaração do senador Jaques Wagner (PT), em entrevista à Rádio Metropole, que afirmou acreditar na vitória do presidente Lula (PT) nas eleições de 2026 e alertou para o impacto internacional do pleito. Esta edição também traz a nova pesquisa BTG/Nexus, que aponta Lula com 47% das intenções de voto contra 44% de Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) em um eventual segundo turno.

Hinter der schlichten Fassade von Microlandia verbirgt sich eine erstaunlich komplexe Aufbausimulation. Wer sich vom ersten Eindruck nicht abschrecken lässt, entdeckt schnell eine erstaunliche Tiefe. Vor allem in den Einstellungen zeigt das Spiel seine wahren Muskeln. Von detaillierten Steuersätzen bis hin zu feingliedrigen Stellschrauben für das Sozialsystem lässt sich fast jeder Aspekt des Stadtlebens individuell anpassen. Auch die wirtschaftliche Komponente fordert uns stets. Jede Entscheidung hat spürbare Konsequenzen für den Haushalt, die Bürger und die allgemeine Zufriedenheit. Ein kleiner Fehler bei den Ausgaben kann die Stadt schnell in Schieflage bringen. Das motiviert und belohnt alle, die gerne tüfteln und planen. Allerdings fordert das Spiel an anderer Stelle einen deutlichen Kompromiss. Die Präsentation fällt äußerst spartanisch aus und wirkt auf Dauer schlichtweg öde. Wuselnde Details, hübsche Animationen oder eine lebendige Atmosphäre sucht man hier vergebens. Das Gameplay fühlt sich dadurch stellenweise eher wie das Verwalten einer komplexen Tabelle an als wie das Erbauen einer blühenden Metropole. Für Simulations-Fans mit Hang zum Mikromanagement ist Microlandia dennoch ein echter Geheimtipp. Wer allerdings viel Wert auf eine ansprechende Optik legt, könnte sich hier schnell langweilen.

Negative gearing on established homes has just been abolished. The capital gains tax discount you've relied on for twenty years has been rewritten.   And somewhere between the government's press conference and the Treasury modelling, a trillion dollars in debt got added to the tab for a generation that hasn't even been asked if they're willing to pay it.   So here's the question I want to answer for you today. If you're a property investor, a business owner, or someone who just wants a comfortable retirement, what do the next three years actually look like for you?   By the end of this episode, you'll know exactly what the man leading the opposition to these changes thinks should happen instead.   You'll know whether a change of government would genuinely wind back negative gearing and CGT reform, or whether that's politically unrealistic once the changes are locked in.    And you'll understand where the real blame sits for the property market slowdown, because it's not as simple as the headlines make out.   My guest today is the Hon Tim Wilson, the Federal Member for Goldstein and Australia's Shadow Treasurer and in this episode I'm speaking with him about what the recent tax and housing changes mean for property, business, and retirement outcomes.   We unpack how government debt, rising taxes, and weaker private investment are reshaping Australia's economic outlook.   Tim explains why policy uncertainty is damaging confidence for property investors, business owners, and overseas capital.   We discuss how changes to negative gearing, capital gains tax, and trusts could lift rents and deter new housing supply.   We also explore why a growth-focused, small-business-led economy is, in Tim's view, the best path forward.   Takeaways    • Government debt today becomes tomorrow's taxes, squeezing household spending and future investment choices. • Inflation erodes living standards by lifting supermarket prices while wages and productivity struggle to keep pace. • Public-sector job growth can crowd out private enterprise, weakening long-term economic resilience and innovation. • Higher taxes on property investment reduce rental supply, pushing rents upward for tenants. • Tax changes that hurt housing feasibility discourage builders, slowing new dwelling construction across the market. • First-home buyer schemes can unintentionally inflate entry-level prices by boosting demand faster than supply. • Retrospective rule changes destroy investor confidence, making long-term capital allocation far riskier. • Trust tax reforms may trigger costly restructures, wasting time and money across the economy. • Prioritising super over home ownership delays deposits, family formation, and wealth-building for younger Australians. • Small businesses drive productivity and hiring, so backing them supports broader economic growth and opportunity.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time. ·        Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report   Michael Yardney – Subscribe to my Property Update newsletter here.   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property plan.

July has delivered the clearest evidence yet that Australia's property market has changed direction, but the headline figures only tell part of the story.   Capital city house prices fell by 1.5 per cent over the month, the sharpest national decline since August 2022, while Sydney recorded a particularly significant fall of 2.7 per cent.   Melbourne house prices are now almost 6 per cent lower since the beginning of the year, and prices also declined across Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Darwin during July.   Yet look beneath those monthly figures and Australia still has several very different property markets moving at different speeds, with units holding up better than houses nationally, despite some substantial monthly falls in individual capitals.   So, are these July figures simply the result of the usual winter slowdown, amplified by higher interest rates and reduced confidence, or are they signalling a more serious downturn?   That's what I'm ask Dr. Andrew Wilson, in today's show as we discuss the latest housing market movements and what they mean for buyers and investors.   We unpack how winter conditions, higher rates, and weaker confidence have slowed activity across the capital cities.   We look at why Sydney and Melbourne are underperforming, while Perth, Brisbane, and Darwin remain remarkably resilient.   We also explore why units are holding up better than houses, especially in markets with stronger underlying demand.   Finally, we discuss rents, inflation, and the Reserve Bank outlook, then finish with a long-term view on opportunity in the downturn.   Takeaways    • Capital city house prices fell 1.5 percent, signalling a broader winter slowdown. • Sydney's sharper decline reflects weaker clearance rates and softer buyer demand. • Melbourne and Sydney are lagging because premium segments are correcting faster. • Perth, Brisbane, and Darwin still show strong annual growth momentum. • Units are outperforming houses because affordability keeps buyers in that market. • Low vacancy rates are keeping rental pressure high across most capitals. • Higher rents increase cash flow pressure for tenants and improve investor yields. • Strong employment is supporting housing demand despite market uncertainty. • Rising electricity costs are adding inflation pressure and influencing Reserve Bank decisions. • Longer term investors can benefit when uncertainty reduces competition and improves negotiation power.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time. ·        Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at: www.PodcastBonus.com.au   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property plan.

O Aos Fatos desta sexta-feira (31) destaca a defesa feita pelo governador Jerônimo Rodrigues às principais obras de infraestrutura do estado. Em entrevista à Rádio Metropole, o petista acusou adversários de espalharem informações falsas sobre projetos como a Ponte Salvador-Itaparica e o VLT. O programa também repercute a participação da primeira-dama Janja Silva no lançamento estadual do Pacto Nacional Brasil contra o Feminicídio, na Bahia, a oficialização da vereadora Aladilce Souza como segunda suplente da chapa de Jaques Wagner ao Senado e a decisão do PP de permanecer neutro na disputa presidencial.

O Aos Fatos desta quinta-feira (30) destaca a entrevista do escritor e cientista político João Cezar de Castro Rocha à Rádio Metropole. Para o pesquisador, a defesa da soberania nacional deve ser o principal tema da disputa presidencial de 2026.

You've probably heard the media, politicians and economists talking about "the inflation rate" as though every Australian is experiencing the same increase in their cost of living.   But the official CPI figure may bear little resemblance to what is happening in your household.   Because here's the uncomfortable truth. That headline number is an average. It's a blend of everything from lettuce to laptops, and if your money goes on housing, health care, insurance and electricity rather than imported gadgets and clothing, your real cost of living has probably been running well above what the news is telling you.   Today we're going to pull that number apart. We're going to look at who actually suffers the highest inflation in this country, why government policy is doing more damage to your cost of living than any war or supply shock, and why understanding your own personal inflation rate matters just as much to your wealth-building strategy as your choice of property.   By the end of this episode you'll know exactly where you sit on what my guest calls the inflation pyramid, which categories of spending are quietly eating your returns, and why housing costs in particular have become one of the clearest examples of government-made inflation in the country.   My guest today is Ashley Owen, Principal of Owen Analytics and one of the most respected independent economists and investment analysts in Australia.   Takeaways   • Official CPI figures hide big differences between household spending patterns and real cost pressures. • Renters face stronger inflation because more of their budget goes to utilities, taxes, and housing costs. • Government-driven costs push housing inflation higher through taxes, regulation, and construction bottlenecks. • Imported goods often offset inflation, but local services keep rising through wage and productivity pressures. • Insurance, healthcare, and education climb faster because they rely heavily on expensive Australian labour. • Personal inflation rates matter more than averages when planning retirement withdrawals and long-term cash flow. • Higher inflation erodes mortgage balances over time, benefiting borrowers who own quality assets. • Delayed rate cuts and political spending can keep interest rates higher for longer. • Land scarcity in concentrated cities pushes up property values and construction costs. • Wealth plans must outperform inflation or purchasing power steadily shrinks over decades.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ •        Win a copy of How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time. •        Every entry receives a copy of a fully updated Michael Yardney Property Report.   Michael Yardney – Subscribe to my Property Update newsletter here.     Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan.

Most investors think the goal is to eventually build a portfolio that throws off enough passive income to live on.   It sounds sensible, doesn't it? Buy assets, collect the rent or dividends, and one day replace your salary.   But what if that idea is not only outdated, but mathematically inefficient?   What if chasing income too early actually leaves you with less wealth, less flexibility, and more risk in retirement?   Today I'm joined by Stuart Wemyss who back in 2018, published Investopoly, built around eight golden rules for building wealth.   Since then, we've had a property boom, COVID, a lending crunch, a rapid rate-rising cycle, and a very different investment environment.   So the obvious question is: which of those rules still hold up? Which ones needed sharpening? And which one did Stuart actually reverse?   In this episode I'm speaking with Stuart Wemyss about how he's refined his thinking on building wealth with intention.   We unpack the core principles that still matter most when choosing quality assets and setting a long-term strategy.   We discuss how cash flow, investment efficiency, and time work together to shape stronger financial outcomes.   We explore why buying the right assets at the right price matters more than chasing short-term market noise.   We finish by looking at how changing market conditions, tax rules, and longevity risk influence smarter property decisions.   Takeaways  • Wealth building works best when strategy, patience, and discipline all align consistently. • Quality assets outperform average ones because scarcity supports stronger long-term demand. • Cash flow strength helps investors stay resilient through interest rate rises and uncertainty. • Investment efficiency improves returns when capital is directed into assets with growth potential. • Time amplifies property wealth by allowing compounding to reward long-term holders. • Buying well matters because entry price strongly shapes eventual capital growth. • Chasing short-term trends can distract investors from fundamentals that actually build wealth. • Changing tax and lending rules can alter the best structure for investing. • Longevity risk means retirees need assets that balance income, growth, and liquidity. • Future-focused investing means choosing assets that tomorrow's buyers will still want.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time. ·        Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report.   Michael Yardney – Subscribe to my Property Update newsletter here   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan.

O Aos Fatos desta segunda-feira (27) destaca as mudanças na programação da Rádio Metropole anunciadas por Mário Kertész após um período de afastamento por questões de saúde.

Sechs Jahre schon haucht Johannes Hendrik Langer der mit Ecken und Kanten versehenen Figur des Kriminalkommissar Moritz Brenner Leben ein, den eine Strafversetzung ins Ermittlerteam der "SOKO Leipzig" gespült hat. Vergangenes Jahr wurde die 500. Folge der ZDF-Erfolgsserie gefeiert. Die Verbundenheit mit der sächsischen Metropole geht bei Langer offenbar weit über den beruflichen Bezug hinaus, denn er hat sich dort auch privat niedergelassen. In der Kinderserie "Die Pfefferkörner" hatte er sein Fernsehdebüt, machte in Hamburg eine Schauspiel-Ausbildung und spielte danach viel Theater.

Eine Metropole auf zwei Kontinenten, getrennt durch Wasser. Fünfzehn Millionen Menschen, die größte Stadt Europas, Hügel so steil, dass deine Schritte-App durchdreht, und abends wartet eine kleine orange Katze darauf, dass du nach Hause kommst.Camilla war in Istanbul. Jochen träumt schon lange davon, kommt als Journalist aber gerade nicht so leicht hin. Also hat die Chefin übernommen und alles mitgebracht, was diese Stadt ausmacht.Istanbul ist laut, riesig, fordernd. Aber das Geheimnis liegt in den Pausen. Du steigst auf eine Fähre, trinkst Tee aus dem Glas, und plötzlich wird diese riesige Stadt zwischen zwei Kontinenten für zwanzig Minuten ganz still. Du setzt dich auf eine Bank, und schon streicht dir eine Katze ums Bein. Du stehst in der blauen Stunde vor der Blauen Moschee und bekommst eine Gänsehaut, die du nicht bestellt hast.Dazwischen isst du dich durch eine Metropole, die weder die saure Gurke noch den süßen Cheesecake auslässt. Fermentierte Säfte to go, ein Maiskolben vom Wagen auf dem Weg zur Fähre und immer, wenn der Trubel zu groß wird, hilft derselbe Tipp: geh einmal mehr um die Ecke. Hinter der nächsten Straße, hinter einer unscheinbaren braunen Holztür, wartet manchmal eine ganze Oase. Oder ein kleines neues Abenteuer.—Unsere Werbepartner findet ihr hier.

Die Provence im Rücken, das Mittelmeer vor der Nase, bezahlbare Hotels und fantastische Restaurants: Alle lieben Marseille! Auch Merian-Autorin Anja Schauberger. Sie ist in dieser Folge bei den Podcasterinnen Tinka Dippel und Silvia Tyburski zu Gast und erzählt den beiden, warum Marseille längst sein Image als raues Pflaster abgelegt und sich zur coolen Alternative zu Paris entwickelt hat. Und natürlich gibt es jede Menge Tipps zum Einkehren, Einkaufen und Übernachten.

Right now, thousands of Australian property investors are being drawn to off-the-plan properties like moths to a flame. And I understand why.   After the 2026 Federal Budget changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax, new properties are suddenly looking very attractive. The marketing is glossy, the tax benefits sound compelling, and the salespeople are convincing.   But here's what those salespeople won't tell you. Signing that contract is the easy part. What happens over the next two years - and at settlement - can financially ruin you.   Today, I'm chatting with Dorian Traill, Senior Wealth Strategist at Metropole, who walks us through exactly how the finance side of these deals works, and more importantly, all the ways it can go catastrophically wrong.   If you or someone you know is being tempted by an off-the-plan purchase right now, you need to hear this episode before you sign anything. And even if you're not interested in buying off the plan at present, there's going to be some great tips from Dorian to help you as a property investor.   In this episode, we discuss the hidden risks of buying off the plan in today's changing market.   We unpack why glossy marketing, tax incentives, and pre-sales can make these projects look safer than they really are.   We discuss how long settlement timelines expose buyers to finance changes, income shocks, and valuation gaps.   We explore why lender caution, oversupply, and shrinking loan ratios can derail a deal at settlement.   We also look at how contract clauses, design changes, and delayed builds can leave investors trapped in risky commitments.   Takeaways   • Off-the-plan sales help developers secure bank funding by proving enough pre-sales. • Buyers often commit years before completion, increasing exposure to changing circumstances. • Conditional finance approvals usually expire long before settlement arrives. • Lenders may reject loans in oversupplied postcodes or high-rise buildings. • A lower valuation at settlement can force buyers to find extra cash. • Oversupply can push rents down after temporary rental guarantees end. • Small apartments often attract fewer buyers and weaker resale competition. • Contract variation clauses can reduce apartment size or alter finishes materially. • If a developer fails, buyers may remain trapped in limbo. • Tax benefits cannot rescue a poorly chosen property or weak location.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ •        Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time. •        Every entry receives a copy of a fully updated Michael Yardney Property Report.   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan.

Today, I want to share 25, let's call them commandments, for financial wealth and success.   And to get the message across best to you, I decided to do something a little different. Normally, I have a guest, but this time it will be just you and me as I share these ideas with you.   These aren't property rules, and most of them aren't even investment rules in the traditional sense.   They're the broader truths about money and behaviour I've collected over the years, the ones that apply whether you're buying property, building a business, or simply trying to retire with options rather than regrets.   In this episode, I discuss that real wealth comes from mindset, patience, and discipline more than from chasing shortcuts or trying to predict the market.   I also emphasize that progress should be measured against your own starting point, not against other people's highlight reels.   I also remind you that ultimately, the person you become matters just as much as the assets you build.   Takeaways    • Wealth is built through patience, consistency, and discipline • Market volatility is the price of long-term growth • Measure your progress against your own starting point • Focus on process, not market predictions • Quiet accumulation creates real wealth • Character matters as much as money • Emotional steadiness helps during uncertainty • Luck favours those who prepare well • Reinvest consistently over time and allow compounding to work its magic. • Avoid chasing shortcuts and quick wins   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time? ·        Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report – What's ahead for property for 2026 and beyond.   Michael Yardney – Subscribe to my Property Update newsletter here     Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property plan.

Most of us spend years trying to figure out money - what to do with it, how to invest it, how to make it work harder. But imagine if someone had taught you the fundamentals when you were a child.   Because here's what I've seen over the years - the families who build lasting generational wealth don't just accumulate assets. They pass on the mindset, the habits, and the financial literacy that lets the next generation take it even further.   So what if we could give our kids that advantage? What if we could raise children who grow up genuinely confident about money, investing, and building wealth - instead of spending their adult years trying to unlearn bad money habits?   And don't worry if you don't have children yet or are not planning to have children. There'll be lots in today's show to help you with your money habits.   My guest today - Sarah Megginson is one of Australia's most recognised personal finance experts, with over 20 years of experience in property, finance and investment journalism.  Her new book is called "How to Raise Rich Kids: Build Lasting Wealth for Your Children" - and it's a genuinely practical guide for any parent who wants to get this right, whether they feel totally on top of their own finances or are still working it out themselves.   In this episode I'm speaking with Sarah Megginson about raising financially confident kids and why money habits start earlier than most parents realise.   We unpack how children absorb money attitudes from home, and why your own behaviour shapes their financial future.   We discuss practical ways to teach budgeting, saving, and decision-making through everyday moments like shopping and family conversations.   We also look at how digital money, credit, and buy now, pay later can confuse young people without proper guidance.   Finally, we explore why the real legacy is not just wealth, but financial intelligence, confidence, and family values.   Takeaways   • Early money lessons at home shape children's habits long before adulthood. • Open conversations about money reduce fear and build financial confidence. • Children learn budgeting faster when they help compare real prices. • Digital spending removes friction, making impulse purchases easier to justify. • Buy now, pay later can hide debt from young people's awareness. • Parental stress around money often becomes children's emotional money blueprint. • Passing on financial intelligence matters more than handing over assets. • Involving kids in decisions builds responsibility and long-term confidence. • Reframing "we can't afford that" teaches values, not scarcity. • Regular family money talks help prevent silence, shame, and poor financial choices.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ •        Win a hard copy of Negotiate Influence Persuade. •        Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report – What's ahead for property for 2026 and beyond.   Michael Yardney – Subscribe to my Property Update newsletter here     Sarah Megginson's Book How to Raise Rich Kids -  https://www.amazon.com.au/How-Raise-Rich-Kids-Children/dp/1923390244   Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at: www.PodcastBonus.com.au      Get the team at Metropole to create a Strategic Property plan for your needs.

Přes deset let poukazuje na nástrahy, které mohou v Praze potkat turisty. Kromě podvodníků však Janek Rubeš se svým kolegou Honzou Mikulkou odhaluje i méně známá zákoutí metropole či zajímavé podniky. Sem tam se proto setkává s kritikou ze strany obyvatel, kteří mu za propálení „tajných“ míst, turisty spíše ignorovaných, nadávají. Sám ale považuje za úspěch, že zahraniční návštěvníci uvidí z Prahy i něco víc než jen Hrad a Karlův most. O tom, jak to dnes v českém hlavním městě vypadá, hovoří Rubeš v podcastu Slepá mapa.

Here's a question that makes almost every Australian a bit uncomfortable if they're honest with themselves.   Do you actually want housing to become more affordable, or do you just want it to become more affordable for your kids while your own home keeps growing in value?   That tension sits underneath almost every conversation about housing affordability in this country, and it's rarely spoken about directly.   By the end of this episode, you'll understand why affordability isn't really one problem but several problems wearing the same name, why a property crash wouldn't actually solve anything, and why the real path forward for Australia is a much slower and more deliberate one than most people expect.   In this episode I'm speaking with Simon Kuestenmacher, and we unpack why housing affordability is more complex than the headlines suggest.   We explore why affordability isn't one problem, but several issues hiding under the same label.   We discuss how a property crash would not fix the structural pressures driving Australia's housing debate.   We look at the tension between wanting cheaper homes for the next generation and preserving wealth in existing property.   We also examine why slower, more deliberate change is the only realistic path forward for Australia's housing future.   Takeaways   • Housing affordability includes income, supply, migration, and policy pressures all at once. • Rising property values can create wealth for owners while worsening access for first-home buyers. • A property crash would damage confidence, savings, and household balance sheets broadly. • Slow housing reform helps avoid panic while still improving long-term market stability. • Population growth continues to pressure demand even when new supply is expanding. • Affordability debates often mix emotional arguments with very different economic realities. • Existing homeowners may support change for others while resisting value declines themselves. • Demographic shifts strongly influence where demand grows across cities and regions. • Short-term headlines can distract investors from structural trends shaping future property performance. • Better decisions come from understanding trade-offs rather than chasing simplistic housing slogans.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ •        Win a hard copy of How To Grow a Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio in your Spare Time? •        Every entry receives a copy of a fully updated Michael Yardney Property Report.   Michael Yardney – Subscribe to my Property Update newsletter her     Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan.

What if someone handed you the answers before you sat the exam?   That's essentially what today's guest is doing.   After decades of personal property investing and working alongside hundreds of investors at Metropole, Adam Hubbard has distilled everything he's learned - the wins, the near-misses, and the lessons that only time and experience can teach - into 10 principles that could genuinely reshape how you approach building wealth through property.   These aren't theories. They're hard-won truths from someone who has lived through multiple market cycles, seen investors make the same costly mistakes over and over, and quietly built significant wealth by staying the course when others panicked.   By the end of this conversation, you'll know exactly what separates investors who achieve real financial independence from those who stay stuck, why the most successful investors often look boring compared to everyone else, and what Adam would do differently if he were starting out today.   Takeaways    • Mindset shifts are crucial for evolving as a successful property investor. • A clear investment plan is essential for navigating property markets effectively. • Long-term perspectives help investors outperform short-term market fluctuations. • Research is key to identifying high-growth property locations. • Effective debt management is both an art and a science. • Contrarian thinking helps investors ignore media hype and focus on fundamentals. • Building a professional team treats property investment as a business. • Market cycles and economic uncertainty require strategic navigation. • Inflation supports long-term property wealth creation. • Avoiding analysis paralysis is crucial for taking decisive investment steps.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.PropertyTrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of Negotiate Influence Persuade. ·        Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report.   Michael Yardney   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan.

Hace diez años que la francesa Pauline Croze publicó 'Bossa nova' con canciones como 'La rua Madureira', 'Tu verras', 'Você abusou' o 'Jardin d´hiver', canción que también escuchamos cantada por Simone en el disco 'Henri Salvador do Brasil' junto a 'Chambre avec vue', en las voces de Moreno Veloso y Flore Benguigui, y 'Uma canção doce' en la de Bebel Gilberto. La Metropole Orkest celebra 80 años de existencia, dirigida por Miho Hazama en el disco 'Arakatak', con obras de Mark Guiliana ('The most important question') o Donny McCaslin ('Luminosity'). Y la Metropole, bajo la dirección de Jules Buckley y arreglos de Darcy James Argue, acompaña a la cantante Cécile McLorin en el disco 'With every breath I take': 'Lush life', de Billy Strayhorn, 'Being alive' de Stephen Sondheim y 'Les parapluies de Cherbourg' de Michel Legrand y Jaques Demy.Escuchar audio

Vom Bülacher Sekundarlehrer zum Brückenbauer zwischen Kulturen. Pascal Affolter gründete in Kolumbien eine heilpädagogische Schule für Kinder mit Behinderungen und leitet heute die traditionsreiche Schweizerschule in Barcelona. Mitten in einer der vielseitigsten Städte Europas. Eigentlich wollte Pascal Affolter Diplomat werden. Stattdessen wurde der Bülacher Lehrer und zu einem Botschafter für Bildung. 1996 zog es ihn für ein Sozialprojekt nach Kolumbien. Dort erkannte er, dass Kinder und Jugendliche mit Behinderungen kaum Zugang zu Bildung hatten. Mit viel Engagement gründete er in Cartagena de Indias die heilpädagogische Institution «ALUNA» und baute sie mit viel Herzblut auf. Pascal Affolter lebte achtzehn Jahre in Kolumbien. 2007 übernahm er die Leitung der Schweizer Schule in Bogotá. Heute lebt er mit seiner Familie in Barcelona und steht als Direktor an der Spitze der renommierten Schweizer Schule «Escuela Suiza de Barcelona». Die Schule blickt auf eine über hundertjährige Geschichte zurück und verbindet Schweizer Bildungsqualität mit internationaler Offenheit. Sie steht nicht nur Schweizer Familien offen, sondern fördert auch den Austausch mit der lokalen Bevölkerung. «Hier treffen viele Kulturen aufeinander», sagt Pascal Affolter: «Das macht unsere Schule zu einem besonderen Lern- und Begegnungsort.» Barcelona als Lebensgefühl Mit seiner Familie lebt Pascal Affolter in der Nähe der Schule. An Barcelona schätzt er die kulturelle Vielfalt, die Nähe zum Meer, die ausgezeichnete Gastronomie und das mediterrane Klima: «Barcelona ist wie ein lebendiges Freilichtmuseum, in dem sich Menschen aus aller Welt begegnen.» Für ihn ist die katalanische Metropole der ideale Ort, um internationale Bildung und kulturellen Austausch zu leben.

Con 'Arakatak', la holandesa Metropole Orkest celebra 80 años de existencia: dirigida por Miho Hazama para obras encargadas a Morris Kliphuis ('Arakatak'), Vince Mendoza ('Bright lights and jubilation') o Donny McCaslin ('Luminosity'). También con la Metropole, en este caso bajo la dirección de Jules Buckley y con arreglos de Darcy James Argue, la cantante Cécile McLorin publica 'With every breath I take' que contiene clásicos como 'Sophisticated lady' de Duke Ellington, 'Send in the clowns' de Stephen Sondheim, 'Les parapluies de Cherbourg' de Michel Legrand y Jaques Demy, 'I´ll see you again' de Noël Coward o el que da título al disco. Y con otra orquesta, la NDR Big Band alemana, el brasileño João Bosco ha grabado 'Horda' con canciones suyas como 'Abricó-de-macaco' o 'Incompatibilidade de gênios'. Escuchar audio

House prices are falling across most of our capital cities right now, and the rate of decline is actually picking up speed.   Now, I know what the headlines are going to say about that. They'll call it a crash, a correction, a crisis — and frankly, most of those headlines will be written to scare you, not inform you.   So what's really going on? Is this the beginning of something serious, or is this just a market catching its breath after three extraordinary years of growth?   Today, I cut through the noise as I am joined by Dr. Andrew Wilson Chief Economist at My Housing Market, who's been tracking Australian property cycles for decades. He's the person I turn to every month for the numbers that actually matter.   In this episode we discuss the latest shifts in Australia's property markets and what they mean for investors.   We unpack why capital city house prices are easing after a strong run, with higher rates, affordability pressure, and weaker confidence all playing a role.   We look at how Australia's property market remains highly fragmented, with some cities softening faster while others are still holding up well.   And we discuss why tight rental vacancies continue to push rents higher, even as buyers and sellers become more cautious.   We also explore why units are outperforming houses in many locations, and why that matters for investors navigating a winter market.   Takeaways    • Australia's market is pausing after strong gains, not entering a collapse. • Higher interest rates have reduced borrowing power and cooled buyer demand. • Affordability pressures are pushing many buyers out of expensive house markets. • Melbourne's top end has weakened, dragging broader median results lower. • Perth still shows strong annual growth despite a recent easing in momentum. • Units are outperforming houses in many capital city markets right now. • Low vacancy rates are continuing to put upward pressure on rents. • Chronic housing undersupply is the key long-term support for prices. • Strong migration is adding fresh demand to already tight housing markets. • Confidence usually returns before the spring selling season begins.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time. ·        Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report – What's ahead for property for 2026 and beyond.   Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at: www.PodcastBonus.com.au   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property plan.

You can be wealthy on paper and still feel poor in retirement. That's the challenge for many property investors: they're asset-rich, but their cash flow doesn't support the lifestyle they want.   That's why many investors think retirement means selling down the portfolio, paying off the debt, and living on what's left. But what if that's not the smartest strategy? What if the better outcome is keeping your best assets and restructuring around them?   That's what I discuss today with Dorian Traill, Wealth Planner at Metropole, who has been involved in property and finance since the late 1990s.   Dorian brings a rare combination of practical lending experience, strategic property thinking, and a deep understanding of how investors can move from the accumulation stage into retirement without making panic decisions.   Today we're going to discuss how investors approaching retirement can retain as many quality properties as possible by restructuring finance, improving cash flow, and making strategic asset decisions.   And even if you're nowhere near the retirement phase of your journey yet, today's show should be of interest to you to help you how to plan the path ahead.   Join us as we uncover strategies to preserve wealth and enhance your property portfolio.   Takeaways   • Retaining properties can lead to long-term capital growth and inheritance benefits. • Positive cash flow management is more crucial than eliminating debt entirely. • Early planning helps transition smoothly from growth to retirement phases. • Refinancing can turn negative cash flow properties into positive assets. • Interest-only loans can provide flexibility during financial transitions. • Selling underperforming assets can boost overall portfolio performance. • Self-managed super funds offer tax advantages for property investments. • Reverse mortgages can be a tool for accessing home equity in retirement. • Debt recycling can enhance cash flow and investment potential. • Strategic planning aligns financial goals with personal retirement aspirations.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ •          Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time. •          Every entry receives a copy of a fully updated Michael Yardney Property Report.   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan.

Most people think building wealth through property is about being smart enough to pick the right suburb, time the market perfectly, or analyse the data better than everyone else.   What if the most important lessons weren't about property at all?   Albert Einstein never bought a house as an investment. He never negotiated with a bank or agonised over a depreciation schedule. But buried in the things he said across his lifetime are some of the clearest, sharpest principles I've ever come across for thinking like a long-term investor.   In this episode, I speak with Joseph Ballota,  senior wealth strategist at Metropole and discuss why having too much information can be just as dangerous for property investors as having none at all, why the best investors are often the ones who know what they don't know, and why every downturn in property history has quietly created the next generation of wealthy Australians.   Joseph shares insights on the common mistakes investors make, such as emotional decision-making and analysis paralysis.   Join us as we delve into how changing your mindset can transform your investment outcomes.   Takeaways    • Understanding property investment as a process is crucial for long-term success. • Emotional decisions often lead to poor investment outcomes. • Building a knowledgeable investment team can prevent costly mistakes. • A clear strategy helps navigate market uncertainties effectively. • Acting counter-cyclically requires courage but can yield significant rewards. • Changing your mindset can lead to better investment decisions. • Analysis paralysis can hinder investment progress. • A strategic approach is essential for successful property investment. • The right team can help you see blind spots in your investment strategy. • Investing with a framework keeps errors manageable.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.PropertyTrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of Negotiate Influence Persuade. ·        Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report.   Michael Yardney   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan.

Das Wort zum Sonntag von Jörg Thadeusz

In Hongkong machte Claude Scheidegger aus Burgdorf (BE) eine steile Karriere in der internationalen Hotellerie. Heute lebt er mit Partner Steve und der gemeinsamen Tochter Zoe in Singapur und reist für seine Arbeit regelmässig nach China. Claude Scheidegger legte den Grundstein für seine Karriere an der renommierten Hotelfachschule in Lausanne. Dort wurde er früh von einer internationalen Hotelgruppe entdeckt: «Viele grosse Hotelketten rekrutieren direkt in Lausanne. So konnte ich die Chance nutzen und beim Mandarin Oriental in Hongkong einsteigen.» Fünf Jahre lang blieb die pulsierende Metropole sein Zuhause und wurde auch privat zum Wendepunkt: «In dieser Zeit lernte ich meinen Lebenspartner Steve kennen.» Heute lebt das Paar mit Tochter Zoe in Singapur: «Steve führt ein Family Office für ein angesehenes chinesisches Familienunternehmen», erzählt Claude Scheidegger. Beruflich ist er der Region treu geblieben: «Alle drei Wochen reise ich nach Hongkong, wo ich im Marketing- und Branding-Bereich für eine bekannte Hotelkette tätig bin.» So oft es geht, begleitet ihn seine Familie auf diesen Reisen und verbindet Beruf mit gemeinsamen Erlebnissen zwischen den Metropolen Asiens. «Singapur ist unglaublich familienfreundlich» Claude Scheidegger lebt mit seiner Familie in einem kleinen Wohnblock direkt beim botanischen Garten. Singapur sei äusserst sicher und besonders familienfreundlich, sagt der 30 Jährige: «Es gibt kostenlose Wasserparks, und der Zoo ist weltbekannt, vor allem für seine Nacht-Safaris, bei denen man wilde Tiere aus nächster Nähe beobachten kann.»

Most investors say they're long-term investors.   But then they check auction clearance rates every weekend, worry about the next interest rate decision, chase the latest hotspot, and get distracted by whatever the media says is working right now.   And that's a problem, because real wealth rarely comes from the investment that looks exciting today.   It comes from owning the right assets for long enough to let compounding do the heavy lifting.   In today's show, I'm going to chat with independent financial adviser Stuart Wemyss about what he calls "The Forever Test" - a simple but powerful filter for making better investment decisions.   We discuss how short-term media distractions can hinder true wealth creation.   And we highlight the significance of focusing on assets with strong fundamentals and staying power.   Join us as we delve into the power of compounding capital growth over decades.   Takeaways  • Long-term investment strategies reduce emotional decision-making and enhance wealth growth. • The "Forever Test" helps identify investments with enduring value and potential. • Compounding capital growth significantly increases asset value over extended periods. • Short-term market reactions often undermine long-term financial stability. • Strategic investors prioritise fundamentals over fleeting market trends. • Location and structural demand are crucial in property investment success. • Patience and discipline are key to navigating market volatility. • Quality assets in prime locations offer better long-term returns. • Emotional decision-making can lead to costly investment mistakes. • Understanding demographics aids in selecting investment-grade locations.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·         Win a hard copy of Negotiate Influence, Persuade. ·         Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report.   Michael Yardney   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan.

Na nároží dnešního Rašínova nábřeží a Resslovy ulice stával secesní činžovní dům, který byl zničen při náletu v únoru 1945. Dalších 50 let byla na jeho místě jen nevzhledná proluka a k zástavbě se nikdo neměl. Počátkem 90. let přišel architekt Vlado Milunič s projektem, pro který se vžil název Tančící dům, protože jeho dvě dominantní věže připomínají slavný herecký a taneční pár Ginger Rogersovou a Freda Astaira. Provoz budovy byl zahájen 20. června 1996.

Nordisches Design, einzigartige Natur, eine Fahrradhauptstadt, die zeigt, wie Metropole wirklich für Menschen funktioniert, und ein Kunstmuseum direkt am Meer, das Michi zu einem der schönsten auf dem ganzen Planeten erklärt. Dänemark hat nur sechs Millionen Einwohner und soooo viel zu bieten.Tamina ist in eine Wachablösung gestolpert und hat festgestellt, dass Monarchie und Augenhöhe kein Widerspruch sein müssen. Michi will ein Smørrebrød essen (ein wahres Kunstwerk auf Brot), und das ganze Ding fällt ihm entgegen. Während Jochen alle nach Nordjütland schickt, an einsame Strände, wilde Küsten und Dünen, die größer sind als auf den deutschen Nordseeinseln.Dazwischen: eine Bahnfahrt, die am Meer entlangführt und schon die halbe Reise wert ist. Die idyllische Insel Lolland, von der die meisten noch nie gehört haben.

Most people have strong opinions about rich people.   They think the wealthy are lucky. Or greedy. Or born into privilege. Or somehow wired differently.   But here's the problem… if you believe any of that, there's a good chance you'll never build real wealth yourself.   Because those stories aren't just wrong – they're dangerous.   Today, Tom Corley and I discuss the common myths surrounding wealth and the psychology of successful individuals.   We discuss the importance of mindset, the role of luck, and the common misconceptions about intelligence and income.   We explain that wealth is not solely determined by high income or intelligence, but rather by behaviour, discipline, and the ability to learn from failure.   Our conversation also highlights the lifestyle choices of wealthy individuals and the significance of self-education in achieving financial success.   Takeaways   Wealth is primarily about behavior and time. Many believe rich people are just lucky, but luck is often created through persistence. It's not how much you make, but how much you keep that matters. Rich people do not necessarily live flashy lifestyles; they often prioritize experiences over material possessions. Failure is a common part of the journey to success; wealthy individuals often fail multiple times before succeeding. It's never too late to pursue wealth; taking action is crucial. Self-education is a key habit for building wealth. Many wealthy individuals are more ethical and philanthropic than the average person. Intelligence is not the sole determinant of wealth; emotional intelligence and resilience are equally important. Financial discipline and the ability to delay gratification are essential for wealth accumulation.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·        Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's How to Grow a Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio in Your Spare Time. ·        Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report – What's ahead for property for 2026 and beyond.   Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at: www.PodcastBonus.com.au      Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan.

If you've been following the headlines, you'd be forgiven for thinking property markets rise and fall on the back of interest rates, government policy, or the latest migration numbers.   But when you step back and look at what really drives long-term property performance, a different story starts to emerge.   In fact, the biggest driver of property values isn't what most commentators focus on at all.   In today's show I speak with leading demographer Simon Kuestenmacher about the real drivers of property markets.   We explore why employment, not just population growth, is crucial for property value growth.   Simon and I discuss how job quality and security influence housing demand and investment.   We analyse the impact of demographic trends and local economies on property strategies.   Join us as we provide insights to help you make informed investment decisions.   Takeaways   • Employment growth drives property values more than population increases. • Local economies and job security boost housing demand and confidence. • Dual-income households significantly impact property prices and market dynamics. • Infrastructure linked to jobs supports sustainable economic growth. • Industry diversity strengthens local economies and property markets. • High-income jobs in city centres attract property investment. • AI and hybrid work models reshape property location preferences. • Defense spending boosts property markets in specific regions. • Long-term planning is crucial for understanding job quality and local economies. • Skilled, high-income households drive property market growth.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ •        Win a hard copy of Negotiate, Influence, Persuade. •        Every entry receives a copy of a fully updated Michael Yardney Property Report.   Michael Yardney – Subscribe to my Property Update newsletter here   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan.

The property market has just taken an interesting turn.   After a strong run, we're now seeing signs that higher interest rates, affordability pressures and buyer uncertainty are starting to bite.   But as always, the headline numbers don't tell the full story.   Some markets are slowing, some are still showing resilience, and underneath it all we still have the same big issue: Australia simply isn't building enough homes for the people who need them.   So today, Dr Andrew Wilson and I unpack what's really happening in our housing markets, what the latest end-of-month figures are telling us, and what this means for homeowners, investors and buyers as we move through the rest of the year.   Because the real question isn't just whether prices have risen or fallen this month.   It's whether this is a temporary pause, the start of a broader slowdown, or another example of Australia's property markets moving at different speeds.   Join us as we delve into the data to help you navigate the complexities of the property market.   Takeaways    • Recent interest rate hikes have led to a temporary decline in property prices. • Australia's property market remains fragmented, with some regions showing resilience. • Media narratives can significantly influence consumer sentiment and market behavior. • Strategic investment decisions are crucial in navigating market cycles. • The cyclical nature of the market presents opportunities for savvy investors. • Understanding regional differences is key to making informed property decisions. • The current market conditions may favor buyers looking for less competition. • Long-term growth prospects remain strong despite short-term fluctuations. • Changes in property taxes could dampen market activity temporarily. • The spring selling season may bring renewed activity in the housing market.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time.

It doesn't matter whether you own an investment property, whether you're renting, or whether you're desperately trying to buy your first home. This Federal Budget has just made your situation harder.   If you're a tenant, rents are already punishing. Vacancy rates are near record lows, and there simply aren't enough rentals to go around. The tax changes will lightly push rents even higher. If you're trying to buy your first home, you're already fighting a market that has taken the average deposit savings time out to over 11 years. The budget does nothing to fix the supply shortage that is keeping prices out of reach.   And if you're a property investor, the rules you planned around have just been rewritten mid-game.   What connects all three groups is this: Australia has a housing crisis that is fundamentally a supply problem, and the government is responding with a tax policy that does nothing to build a single new home.   In today's show, I speak with Senator Andrew Bragg, the Shadow Minister for Housing and Homelessness, who has been one of the most outspoken voices in Parliament on exactly this point.   By the time you finish this episode, you'll understand why these negative gearing and capital gains tax changes are going to hurt renters, first-home buyers, and investors alike, and what a genuine housing solution actually needs to look like. Join us as we uncover strategies for navigating the current property market landscape.   Takeaways  • Australia's housing crisis is primarily due to a shortage of supply. • Recent budget changes may increase financial pressure on renters and buyers. • Negative gearing reforms could discourage small investors from entering the market. • Capital gains tax changes might affect long-term investment strategies. • Migration policies need to align with housing supply to stabilise prices. • Superfunds becoming landlords could reshape the rental market landscape. • Strategic planning is crucial to avoid reactionary investment decisions. • Building more homes is essential to address affordability issues. • Government policies should focus on both demand and supply sides. • Understanding market fundamentals helps in making informed investment choices.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of Negotiate Influence Persuade. ·        Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report.   Michael Yardney   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan.

There's a strange thing that happens to many property investors.   They'll spend hours worrying about tax, negative gearing, capital gains tax, trusts, land tax, and what the next government might change - yet they'll give far less thought to the quality of the asset they're buying, the level of debt they're taking on, or whether their portfolio is actually going to deliver the long-term returns they need.   And that's dangerous, because saving tax on a poor investment is still a poor investment.   In today's show I chat with independent financial adviser Stuart Wemyss about why investors who obsess over tax often miss the bigger picture.   Now, let me be clear…tax matters. Structures matters. Getting advice matters.   But tax is only one input into your investment system, and for many investors it's not the most important one. In fact, the drive to minimise tax can sometimes lead to decisions that cost far more than the tax they were trying to save.   Stuart Wemyss and I  discuss why focusing solely on tax savings can detract from the bigger picture of wealth creation.   We discuss the importance of selecting quality assets and the long-term benefits of strategic property management.   We delve into how proposed tax changes might impact investment strategies and how to adapt effectively.   Additionally, we highlight the significance of understanding internal rates of return and proactive asset management.   Join us as we provide insights to help you make informed investment decisions amidst changing policies and market conditions.   Takeaways  • Obsessing over tax can lead to poor investment choices. • Asset quality is more important than tax savings. • Long-term growth should be prioritised over short-term tax benefits. • Proposed tax reforms could impact property investment strategies. • Proactive management is key to maximising returns. • The five wealth levers are crucial for investment success. • Complex structures may not always be beneficial. • Balancing asset selection with debt management is essential. • Long-term thinking leads to better wealth creation. • Strategic property investment remains effective despite tax changes.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time. ·        Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report.   Michael Yardney   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan.

Eine versunkene Metropole, jahrhundertelang dem Vergessen überlassen - und heute ein spiritueller Sehnsuchtsort: In der neuen Folge begeben wir uns auf eine faszinierende Reise nach Hampi, eine der beeindruckendsten historischen Stätten Indiens.Einst war Hampi das glanzvolle Zentrum eines mächtigen Hindu-Reiches. Nach seinem Niedergang lag die Stadt rund 300 Jahre verlassen in der Landschaft, bis sie Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts wiederentdeckt wurde. Heute ist Hampi ein Ort, der gleichzeitig mystisch, spirituell und irgendwie surreal wirkt. Zwischen riesigen Felsen, alten Tempeln und Palästen treffen sich Backpacker, Reisende und gläubige Hindus aus aller Welt.Vor genau 40 Jahren wurde Hampi in die Liste des UNESCO-Weltkulturerbes aufgenommen – eine Auszeichnung, die die außergewöhnliche kulturelle und architektonische Bedeutung der Tempelanlagen unterstreicht. Auch literarisch lebt die Geschichte weiter: Der britisch-indische Autor Salman Rushdie widmete dem untergegangenen Reich vor wenigen Jahren mit Victory City eins seiner Werke.In dieser Folge nimmt Reisejournalistin Charlotte Horn uns mit auf eine Entdeckungstour durch die mystischen Ruinen, erzählt von der bewegten Vergangenheit Hampis und schildert, warum dieser Ort bis heute eine so starke Anziehungskraft ausübt.Eine Folge über Lost Places, alte Reiche und die Frage: Was bleibt eigentlich, wenn eine ganze Stadt verschwindet?Lesetipp: „Victory City“, Roman von Salman Rushdie, erschienen im Penguin-Verlag, 2023:https://www.penguin.de/buecher/salman-rushdie-victory-city/buch/9783328602941Historischer Roman von Tirumala Devaraya:In the Empire of the God King by Tirumala Devaraya | Goodreadshttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/237384871-in-the-empire-of-the-god-kingKurze Video-Dokumentation über Hampi (auf Englisch): What Made Hampi One of the Greatest Cities of Its Time?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMjVqBzSnGs Reise-Tipps Hampi – inklusive Hinweise für die Anreise:Hampi – Travel guide at Wikivoyagehttps://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/HampiCrosspromotion: Young Adventurers: INDIEN - Floßfahrt ins Unbekanntehttps://www.ardmediathek.de/video/young-adventurers-indien-flossfahrt-ins-unbekannte/young-adventurers-indien-flossfahrt-ins-unbekannte/ndr/Y3JpZDovL25kci5kZS9hYTM3ZDk1Yi0yZGNiLTQyZjUtODdhYS0yMzQxYjY2MWM3MzJfZ2FuemVTZW5kdW5n

For decades we've celebrated rising house prices in Australia. If your home was worth more this year than last, life felt a bit easier.   Politicians were happy, banks were happy, homeowners were happy.    But after 50 years of almost uninterrupted price growth, we need to ask a harder question: Is it actually good for us if housing just keeps getting more expensive?    The answer, of course, depends on who you are.    Because rising prices have created a lot of winners in Australia: homeowners, investors, banks, governments, tradies, and retailers.    But they've also created a growing group of losers – renters, younger Australians, essential workers, small businesses, and even the future middle class.   So today leading demographer Simon Kuestenmacher and I discuss the question question almost no one in property likes to touch – not "will housing prices keep rising?" but "how expensive do we actually want housing to be?"    Takeaways   House prices double every decade. Homeowners and banks benefit from rising values. First home buyers face hidden costs. Government policies sustain high prices. Demographics reshape housing market. Property prices are political choices. Sustainable growth beats boom cycles. Baby boomer exits affect prices. Wealth disparity impacts society. Strategic planning ensures property wealth.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ •         Win a hard copy of How to grow a multi-million dollar property portfolio in your space on. •         Every entry receives a copy of a fully updated Michael Yardney Property Report.   Michael Yardney – Subscribe to my Property Update newsletter here   Join Michael Yardney, plus a team of experts, at Wealth Retreat 2026 on the Gold Coast in May.

Australia's property markets are still rising, but the cracks are starting to show.   Not the type of cracks that suggest a collapse, but the type that tell us the next stage of the cycle will reward careful, strategic investors and punish those chasing yesterday's hot spots.   According to Domain's latest House Price Report, most capital cities reached new highs in the March quarter, but the pace of growth has slowed sharply since late last year.   At the same time, Domain's Rental Report shows vacancy rates have fallen to a record low nationally, yet many renters simply can't afford to keep paying more.   So we have a fascinating contradiction. There's still not enough housing and there are still plenty of buyers and tenants.   But borrowing capacity and rental affordability are now acting like speed limits on the market.   Today I'm joined by Dr Nicola Powell, Domain's Chief of Research and Economics, to help us understand what's really going on beneath the headlines, what this means for buyers, sellers, tenants and investors, and where the opportunities and risks are likely to be in the next stage of the cycle.   We explore how interest rate changes and government policies are influencing market trends and affordability.   We discuss the regional variations in property performance and the implications for investors.   And we analyse the impact of supply constraints and population growth on housing demand.   Join us as we provide strategies for navigating the evolving property landscape in Australia.   Takeaways  Interest rates are reshaping property market dynamics. Government policies impact housing affordability. Regional property performance varies significantly. Supply constraints drive housing demand. Population growth influences market trends. Strategic investing requires understanding local conditions. Long-term fundamentals support market resilience. Auction clearance rates reflect buyer sentiment. Rental markets face affordability challenges. Informed decisions require continuous market education.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time.

Most investors spend their time waiting for the market to do the heavy lifting.   But the more sophisticated investors don't wait. They create their own capital growth.   And in the current stage of the property cycle, that shift in thinking is becoming essential.   If you've been following the property markets lately, you'll know we're in a very different phase of the cycle.   The easy gains of the past are behind us, finance is tighter, and many investors are sitting on the sidelines, unsure what to do next.   But here's the thing… this is exactly the type of environment where experienced investors lean in, not step back.   Because rather than relying on market-driven growth, they focus on something far more powerful - manufacturing capital growth.   In this episode, I speak with Greg Hankinson about how strategic investors can manufacture capital growth in today's market.   We discuss the importance of creating value through renovations and strategic developments rather than waiting for market-driven growth.   Greg shares insights on avoiding common renovation mistakes and the significance of understanding area-specific demographics.   We explore how small-scale developments can be a powerful tool for wealth creation in uncertain times.   Join us as we provide strategies to navigate the current property cycle and make informed investment decisions.   Takeaways   Strategic investors "manufacture" growth, not wait for market changes. Renovations and developments add value beyond market appreciation. Avoid overcapitalization by understanding area-specific demographics. Small-scale developments offer wealth-building opportunities. Manufacturing growth is key in uncertain property cycles. Engage finance strategists for tailored project financing. Demographic shifts dictate future property market trends. High achievers focus on progress, not perfection. Strategic planning ensures long-term investment success. Understanding market fundamentals is crucial for property investors.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ •        Win a hard copy of How to grow a multi-million dollar property portfolio in your space on. •        Every entry receives a copy of a fully updated Michael Yardney Property Report.   Join Michael Yardney, plus a team of experts, at Wealth Retreat 2026 on the Gold Coast in May.
