In this episode of the Michael Yardney podcast, I discuss the current state of the housing market with Dr. Nicola Powell, Chief of Research and Economics. We explore the impact of federal elections on housing predictions, the effects of political uncertainty, and the concept of Solomon's Paradox in decision-making. Our conversation also delves into the differences in housing policies between political parties, the ongoing supply and demand issues in the market, and the opportunities available in established properties. The episode concludes with insights on market trends and the importance of making property decisions based on personal circumstances rather than external noise. Takeaways: The housing market is influenced by federal elections. Rate cuts can improve buyer sentiment and inquiry. Solomon's Paradox highlights our decision-making flaws. Political uncertainty can delay property transactions. Auction outcomes can be surprisingly positive on election days. Labour governments tend to support first home buyers more. Supply issues are a significant challenge in the housing market. Established properties are often undervalued compared to new builds. Market cycles will continue despite political changes. Personal circumstances should guide property investment decisions.

In this episode of the Michael Yardney podcast, I discuss the intricacies of property investment and finance with expert Hung Chuy. We explore the importance of mindset, the role of brokers, and the complexities of managing a property portfolio. Key topics include understanding interest rates, debt recycling, and the unique challenges of commercial property financing. The conversation emphasizes the need for strategic financial planning and the benefits of using multiple lenders to maximize investment opportunities. Takeaways Property investment is fundamentally a finance game. The first arrow represents unavoidable pain, while the second arrow is our response to it. Choosing the right broker can significantly impact your investment success. Interest rates are important, but flexibility in borrowing is crucial. Debt recycling can help turn non-deductible debt into tax-deductible debt. Managing a property portfolio requires careful planning and strategy. Commercial property financing involves more complexities than residential financing. Self-managed super funds have specific borrowing criteria that differ from personal loans. Using multiple lenders can provide better opportunities for equity and borrowing. Mindset plays a critical role in navigating financial challenges.

It’s very easy to get sucked into property market predictions continuously getting pumped out by the media! Today, I’ve brought Michael Yardney back on the show. With 50 years of investing experience, he’s seen more market cycles than most and knows what to pay attention to. We’ll break down the biggest property myths and predictions that experts will get wrong this year. Investing in property is one of the best ways to build wealth—but only if you do it right. The problem? Most investors get it wrong by following short-term hype instead of long-term strategy. With so many "experts" giving conflicting advice, it's easy to feel lost. If you want to avoid costly mistakes and build real wealth, this episode is a must-listen. Let’s go inside!

It's customary at the end of the year to look back at the year that was and then look forward to making some predictions for our housing markets for the year ahead, and in today's show, Dr Andrew Wilson and I explore the trends that will shape the property markets in 2025. Takeaways The housing market in 2024 has been consolidating after a strong rebound in 2023. 2025 is likely to be a year of 2 halves, and the markets will rebound when interest rates fall. Melbourne's property market is underperforming compared to other capitals but offers significant future opportunities as you can buy well located properties with substantial built in equity. Interest rates will likely remain steady till the middle of 2025, impacting buyer activity and market sentiment. Over 2024, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide property markets grew strongly and attracted investors, often buying secondary properties sight unseen Rental growth has slowed due to affordability barriers, but vacancy rates remain extremely low. Investors are returning to the market, particularly in states with strong capital growth. The economic outlook remains positive, supporting housing market stability in 2025. Local factors will drive price growth in 2025, rather than national trends. Understanding demographic trends is crucial for property investors. A strategic property plan can help investors navigate the current market conditions with more certainty.

Welcome to another Big Picture episode of the Michael Yardney podcast, where I chat with leading financial commentator Pete Wargent. Since our last chat, a lot's happened, including rising inflation causing embarrassment to the Reserve Bank, with some commentators now speculating interest rates will rise again. As usual, there are clues in the news as to what's ahead for our economy and our housing markets and we discuss a raft of macro and microeconomic factors that should give you some clues as to what's ahead for our housing markets. Housing Market Hurdles and Economic Trends in Australia We discuss: ● The May inflation figures and their potential impact on future interest rate hikes ● How government spending, particularly federal and state budgets, is contributing to inflation ● Rising living costs and electricity prices and their effects on spending habits across different demographics ● Challenges faced by the Australian government's target to build 1.2 million homes by 2029 o High cash rates o Reduced investor interest o Soaring construction costs ● Comparing current construction trends to peak periods like 2017 ● The roles of foreign buyers in the market ● Insights from Pete's book, The Buy Right Approach to Property Investing Mastering the Skills to Invest Wisely in Properties. This episode is packed with expert insights from Pete and practical tips, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding and navigating the complexities of Australia's economic and housing market landscape.

The Reserve Bank wants that, but that may slow inflationary pressures down a little bit. But there's still jobs out there if you're wanting them.” – Michael Yardney “The message here is most of the critics actually sit on the sidelines. They're not in the arena, they don't try.” – Michael Yardney PLEASE LEAVE US A REVIEW Reviews are hugely important to me because they help new people discover this podcast.

I founded the company Metropole Properties in 1979, but we've been working with clients for almost 25 years now and I decided to step back and enjoy those things we're talking about.” – Michael Yardney “I'd rather bring people up through education, through better jobs, through more skills, through good incentives from the government to allow them to buy their homes as well.” – Michael Yardney “Usually, I've found that people who have had luck actually need to have the hubris, the ego, kicked out of them by the world doing it.” – Michael Yardney PLEASE LEAVE US A REVIEW Reviews are hugely important to me because they help new people discover this podcast.

Negotiation is a game of strategy, and those who master it can achieve great success in the property market. But how do you know if you're a good negotiator? Do you always aim for a win-win, or do you have a secret fallback position that you rely on? In this episode, we explore the art of negotiation with renowned property expert Michael Yardney, who has developed a range of tactics to influence and persuade others to do what he wants them to do. With his book "Negotiate, Influence, Persuade: How to Persuade Others to Do What You'd Like Them to Do," Michael delves into the psychology of deal making, exploring how to achieve your desired outcomes by understanding the other party's perspective. We also discuss whether commonly used negotiation strategies such as aiming for a win-win or meeting in the middle are still effective in today's market, or whether it's time to ditch them and study the psychology of deal making instead. While we'll be viewing negotiation through a real estate lens, Michael's book emphasises that negotiation is a life skill that can be applied to any situation. Whether you're negotiating a property deal or trying to do something otherwise, understanding the psychology of deal making will certainly help you achieve your desired outcome.

The Michael Yardney Podcast | Property Investment, Success & Money
Are New Year's resolutions powerful? Or are they pointless? Every year more than 50% of people make New Year's resolutions. They plan to lose weight, quit smoking, work out, save money, get a promotion, get a raise, move their business to the next level, buy that investment property, and more. And yet, virtually every study tells us that around 80% of New Year's resolutions will get abandoned by this time of the year. So maybe you didn't keep up that resolution to exercise more or go to the gym, but today in my chat with Mark Creedon, founder and CEO of Business Accelerator Mastermind, we're going to talk about how to make 2022 a great year for you. Have you lapsed on your New Year's Resolutions? Whether it's a small, (seemingly) easily achievable goal or a huge, life-changing goal, people tend to fail at the same rate: Approximately 80 percent of people who make New Year's resolutions have dropped them by the second week of February. Some reasons why your resolutions may have failed. You're treating a marathon like a sprint Small changes stick better because they aren't intimidating. You're in too much of a hurry If it was quick and easy, everybody would do it, so it's in your best interest to exercise your patience muscles. 3. You don't believe in yourself The only way to defeat doubt is to believe in yourself. Who cares if you've failed a time or two? This year, you can try again (but better this time). You don't track your progress Keeping a written record of your progress will help you sustain an “I CAN do this” attitude. You have no social support It can be hard to stay motivated when you feel alone. The good news? You're not alone. You know your what but not your why The biggest reason why most New Year's resolutions fail: you know what you want but not why you want it. So, here are 9 strategies to rescue those resolutions: You can't achieve new goals or make desired changes without allocating time to do so. To make this a better year you will have to do things differently from last year. There are obviously some things you are going to need to keep doing, some new things you will need to do, and a bunch of things you'll have to stop doing to make room for the new, more productive activities. Priorities should govern schedule; schedule shouldn't govern priorities. To have a better year this year you'll have to wrest control away from others' priorities and be governed by your own priorities. Resolutions aren't resolutions without resolve. So, don't bother making resolutions to appease or satisfy others. Be honest with yourself – that's a prerequisite for success. Resolutions require resources. You aren't really serious about a resolution unless you invest in and gather the required resources. Sometimes investment motivates follow-through since you've spent time, effort, and money on it. But don't be held back by limited resource thinking. If you are truly committed, you'll find the resources. Daily Progress Refuse to end any day without doing something that moves you toward the goal, no matter how small! Who motivates the motivator? Any professional sports coach will tell you: measurement automatically improves performance, and measurement monitored by someone else, further improves performance. Build up to change So, say you resolve to get up an hour earlier every morning to work on some projects. You could start with 15 minutes for two weeks, then 20 minutes for two weeks, then 30 minutes for a month, then 45 minutes for two weeks, and then you will find reaching the hour mark a lot more achievable. It's not too late to regroup! You may already have let your resolutions slip away. Doesn't matter. Review the resolution and pick one or two that mean the most and apply the 7 ideas I've just shared with you. Don't try and do it all on your own It's really hard to be successful on your own.

The coronavirus has clearly infected Australia. And it doesn't discriminate rich or poor, young or old. I heard it said that we are all in the same boat. But it's not like that. We are in the same storm, but not in the same boat. Your ship could be shipwrecked and mine might not be or vice versa. For some, quarantine is optimal. A moment of reflection, of re-connection, taking life easy, or having a cocktail or coffee. For others, this is a desperate financial & family crisis. For some that live alone, they're facing endless loneliness. While for others it is peace, rest, and time with their mother, father, sons, and daughters. Some are getting money from the government through JobKeeper and JobSeeker while others are working more hours for less money due to pay cuts or loss in sales. Some want to go back to work because they don't qualify for unemployment and are running out of money. Others want to kill those who break the quarantine. Some are home spending 2-3 hours a day helping their child with online schooling while others are spending 2-3 hours a day to educate their children on top of a 10 to 12-hour workday. So, we are not in the same boat. We are going through a time when our perceptions and needs are completely different. Each of us will emerge, in our own way, from this storm. It is very important to see beyond what is seen at first glance. Not just looking, actually seeing. We are all on different ships during this storm experiencing a very different journey. And in today's podcast, I want to chat about how the coronavirus crisis is going to affect different demographics and generations with leading demographer Simon Kustenmacher. As always you'll find my chat with him educational, informative, and lots of fun, so welcome to today's episode of the Michael Yardney podcast. Topics We Discuss in This Episode: We will see a slowdown of migration intake for at least two or three years Australia will have 0 net migration or negative net migration for 2020 Migration was the main driver for the housing market, so this will have a major impact on property The small towns will be hit first – bad news for regional Australia Temporary visitors like students or short-term workers will be affected as well. This, in turn, affects the short-term rental markets, like student accommodations and Airbnbs. Regional Australia is somewhat reliant on temporary workers, so this is more bad news for them Different generations will be affected differently Baby boomers who are now about to retire will see their super balance shrink by 20% or more Some may have to put off retirement Holidays overseas are also probably canceled for some time to come Local tourism may be on the rise, which may be beneficial for Australia Baby boomers may find themselves supporting adult children who have lost jobs Gen Xers will probably suffer a lot from the coronavirus Xers are at a time in their life when they're most likely to be overextended and spending every penny they earn Millennials are in a better position to ride out the next few years They're reaching family formation stage of the life cycle More likely to have jobs where they can work from home and will want homes that allow for that. Millennials will need larger homes They may look for homes in the suburbs or in satellite cities Gen Z is concerned with global issues They're in a position to ride out the pandemic and recession before kickstarting their career The pandemic may be the kickstart needed for working from home to happen on a large scale Links and Resources: Michael Yardney In these challenging time why not get the team at Metropole to build you a personalised Strategic Property Plan – this will help both beginning and experienced investors.

Would you like Lifetime Wealth? Well…today we'll explain what that means and how you could achieve it as I replay a chat I had with my good friends Louise Bedford and Chris Tate from The Trading Game as we discuss the concept of true wealth. How to Obtain Lifetime Wealth Michael shares how he bought his first investment property over 40 years ago. He's made plenty of mistakes, but has still built a substantial property portfolio. He also gives back. To be truly wealthy you need much more than just money. You need money plus family, friends, health, spirituality, growth, and contribution. Chris shares his background. It is similar to Michael's but replace the word property with shares. How children absorb things without being taught directly. Legacy and leaving a ripple or something outside of you that carries on when you are gone. We learned about money, wealth, and riches from our parents and culture. What is your financial thermostat set for? You'll be surprised – it's set for what you have already got. Your thermostat won't change until you change and throw away the blame. The imposter syndrome or undeserved success. Not feeling worthy and self-sabotaging. Self-awareness deserving your success. How people believe the tool has something to do with their success, when it is actually the software that makes a success. How people who's views are mismatched may not be a match as a couple. The disconnect can produce tension and tear relationships apart. Couple's need to talk about their views about money. Partners need to be compatible on a whole host of issues. In the old day's people passed their trades on. Now property or shares can be passed to your kids, but it is not what you leave your kids it is what you leave in your kids. How we learn about money from our parents whether it is spoken or unspoken. Replacing non-productive beliefs with empowering beliefs. Teaching kids about training by loaning them money to trade and letting them keep half of the profits. How IQ and socioeconomic status can be linked. The importance of mentorship and getting together with other entrepreneurs. Find like minded people and the isolation disappears. How attending Wealth Retreat can help change your mindset and money habits.

Should you worry about the upcoming recession? If you believe the media, then, of course, you should. But it's important to get both sides of the story. Today, in my discussion with Pete Wargent, you'll hear about some of the negatives affecting our economy as well as the many positives that the media tends to forget. We'll give you a balanced assessment of what's likely to be ahead. This show is going to be valuable for property investors, future homeowners, and businesspeople as well. Then, in my mindset moment, I'll explain to you that you've won the lottery. Listen in to find out what I mean. Some of the topics I discuss with Pete Wargent: Reported GDP is really historical information – it tells us what's gone on before Credit is the lifeblood of the economy, so if you limit people's ability to borrow, you slow the economy, as happened in the recent credit squeeze Nobody knows for sure if we'll get a recession, but if you look at the probabilities and what markets are saying, it's pretty unlikely Australia's currency and low debt tends to help rebalance the economy quickly Construction is a big hole in the economy that needs to be filled International uncertainties may constrain growth, but there are always uncertainties to consider Interest rates have been cut and tax rates have also been cut. So far these incentives have not had a big effect on the economy, but they may with time Population growth fuels new construction and adds to demand in the economy. Immigration also helps as it slows the aging of the population and reduces the dependency ratio Business investment is improving Recession can often be a confidence issue, enhanced by scaremongering in the media Why not allow Metropole to help you secure your financial future – here's 3 ways we can help Strategic property advice. - Allow us to build a Strategic Property Plan for you and your family.

The content of today's show has been designed by you, because we're going to answer your finance questions. Today's conversation with Dan Gold will be helpful for both beginning and experienced property investors. I've also thrown in my own question, and I think you'll enjoy hearing the answer: - Is it really true that you can get a finance approval in as little as two days? You'll find out today. Some of the questions we discuss today: Will buying higher-yielding properties in regional Australia increase borrowing capacity? And will that allow the buyer to purchase more properties? In the current lending environment, high-yielding residential properties do not have a material impact on borrowing capacity. What factors are important to look at other than interest rates when looking for a loan for an investment property? Focus on finding a lender that can actually meet your requirements and objectives and be selective with the person or bank that's going to be taking you through the process. Are interest-only loans back? For the right borrower, interest-only loans never really went away. How do you release the equity from your property portfolio? Do a review of your property portfolio to get a sense of how much equity you have. The banks will allow you to borrow up to 80% against any one asset, so if you're only leveraged up to 50%, you may be able to release that remaining 30% to fund deposit and purchase costs on your next property. Can you get a loan approved in a couple of days? There are lenders in the current marketplace that can turn loan applications around quickly. To get a loan approved quickly, you need to: Deal with a bank that's capable of doing fast loans Make sure that you have 100% of your required documentation upfront Discuss any areas of complexity up front before starting your application Links and Resources: Michael Yardney Why not speak with the team at Metropole Property Strategists and get their independent property advice -click here Get more details about Michael Yardney's Property Renovations and Development workshop Dan Gold – Long Property Read the full show notes at our web page: All your finance questions answered Podcast Some of our favourite quotes from the show: “In my mind, residential real estate's a high growth, relatively lower-yield investment.” – Michael Yardney “While interest rates are interesting, they're probably not the most important factor at all.” – Michael Yardney “People sort of forget that that's their asset that they can borrow against, so yes, see what your loan-to-value ratios are, also see are your current loans appropriate for today's marketplace and can you maybe save a little bit in interest by just asking.”— Michael Yardney PLEASE LEAVE US A REVIEW Reviews are hugely important to me because they help new people discover this podcast.

Over the years, I've worked with thousands of investors and I've found that most fall into one of three categories. I'm going to explain what those categories are and let you work out which one you fall into. I'll also explain why one of those categories tends to be more successful than the other two. I'm also going to have a chat with Leanne Jopson, the national director of Metropole Property Management, about what you can do when a tenant doesn't pay rent. Then, in my mindset moment, I'm going to share an uncomfortable truth. What type of investor are you? There are three main types of property investor. Which category do you fall into? Passive Investor: Tend to spend little time looking for a property. Not really interested in understanding all of the ins and outs that go along with creating a property portfolio such as finance, tax laws, compounding and so forth. Rather than conducting any due diligence or consulting industry professionals for advice, they're more likely to buy one of the first properties they come across Active Investor: Puts in some degree of work in order to find a good investment prospect. Gains a basic understanding of the principles involved in property, finance, and taxation. Tend to seek professional advice with regards to the structuring of their portfolio and conduct some due diligence in the hope that they can increase the likelihood of making a viable investment purchase. Analytical Investor: Tends to run around for months, sometimes even years, examining every nook and cranny of our property markets, endlessly comparing values and sales, reading reams of material regarding real estate do's and don'ts and seeking advice from as many experts as possible before committing to anything. They like to conduct as much due diligence as possible and look for the ‘ultimate' investment property. So which is better? If property investment was like many other things in life, then the more effort and energy you sink into property investing, the greater your rewards are likely to be. In other words, the passive investor would enjoy smaller gains than the active investor, while the analytical investor would come out on top as they were willing to do the hard yards. Yet, in relation to property investing this is only partially true! Many passive investors purchase their investment properties the way they would buy their home – emotionally. They tend to buy their investments near where they live, or near to where they work or close to where they want to retire or holiday – all emotional reasons. Some live to regret their investment decisions and have difficulty holding on to their investments. The active investor usually does well if he seeks advice from a team of consultants. What about the analytical investor? Let me share a story with you… I remember years ago when I was still presenting at Property Expos (they seem to be a thing of the past now) and I ran into Leonard – a successful IT Engineer. He has subscribed to my newsletter for over 5 years and when I first met him about 3 years earlier he said he was going to invest in property. When I asked him how his investments were going, he explained that he had still not made a move. Instead, he continued to research the market. Leonard was very intelligent and has a tendency to over-analyze things, hence he is still waiting for the perfect property, the perfect time or the perfect set of circumstances in which to buy. What he doesn't realize is that this will never happen. On the other hand, let's look at an example of a passive investor… Let's call him Mark – who was so naïve that he bought the first property that he could get his hands on twenty years ago for $200,000. At the time, his friends and family told Mark he was “crazy.” He paid way too much for the house, it was a bad time to buy and it was a foolish thing to do. Although he may not have done all of his homework, Mark still bought in a popular inner Melbourne suburb and guess what? The value of that home is now in the order of $800,000, and if he was half as smart, Mark would have borrowed against its increasing equity to allow him to buy more properties. The lesson from all this is...It really doesn't matter too much if you're a passive, active or analytical investor. As long as you are taking action and are in the market. It doesn't really matter if you're not into running around examining every aspect of the property market. Or maybe you are and that's not such a bad thing – as long as you don't get so absorbed by the process of learning about property that you forget to actually use that knowledge and buy something! In other words, if you have been thinking about investing in property, now may be the right time for you to act! It's the best counter-cyclical opportunity in a decade. You may not have another opportunity like this for another decade or two. But you can't just buy any property as Mark did. To ensure I buy a property that will outperform the market averages I use a 6 Stranded Strategic Approach. I would buy a property that would appeal to owner-occupiers. Not that I plan to sell my property, but because owner-occupiers will buy similar properties pushing up local real estate values. This will be particularly important in the years ahead when the percentage of investors in the market is likely to diminish I would buy a property below its intrinsic value – that's why I avoid new and off the plan properties which come at a premium price. In an area that has a long history of strong capital growth and that will continue to outperform the averages because of the demographics in the area. This will be an area where more owner-occupiers will want to live because of lifestyle choices and one where the locals will be prepared to, and can afford to, pay a premium price to live because they have higher disposable incomes. In general, these are the more affluent inner and middle-ring suburbs of our big capital cities I buy properties with a high Land to Asset ratio – this doesn't necessarily mean a lot of land – just that the land is valuable I would look for a property with a twist – something unique, or special, different or scarce about the property, and finally I would buy a property where I can manufacture capital growth through refurbishment, renovations or redevelopment rather than waiting for the market to deliver me capital growth. By following my 6 Stranded Strategic Approach, I minimise my risks and maximise my upside. Each strand represents a way of making money from property and combining all four is a powerful way of putting the odds in my favour. If one strand lets me down, I have two or three others supporting my property's performance. And I definitely do not look for the next speculative “hot spot” – I'm an investor not a speculator. But I do look for suburbs going through gentrification (improving in value as young people and developers move in and replace the old houses with refurbished homes or new developments.) So…what type of investor are you? What if my tenant doesn't pay their rent? When a tenant doesn't pay their rent on time, having a management process in place that starts before you reach the point of evicting them for not paying rent is very important. Within 3 days of late missed rent payment, a property manager should be following up. Within 5 days, it's important to be on the phone advising your landlords. 10 days past the due date is indicative of a serious problem, but you still can't take formal action yet. You can't file a notice giving the tenant 14 days to pay or leave until they are 14 days behind in the rent. However, staying on top of the dates and filing the appropriate paperwork on time is important, because your landlord's insurance may not pay for losses for days when you could have filed but didn't. If a good tenant is experiencing an unusual or one-time dilemma, you may be able to work with them to get the problem resolved without going to eviction. But it's still key to find out what's going on early and have a process in place for communicating with that tenant. Having a property manager who has a relationship with the tenants can help.
