Mindset excerpt Eric Lofholm shares ideas on how to maintain a positive mindset

In this episode of the Real Estate Unscripted Podcast, host Marjorie Adam engages in a discussion with Dr. Joey Faucette about the importance of maintaining a positive mindset in the face of uncertainty and change within the real estate industry. The conversation kicks off with a focus on the timely release of Dr. Joey's book, "Work Positive in a Negative World," which emphasizes the power of positivity and the opportunities that can arise from adversity. The conversation delves into the concept of expecting and engaging with adversity, with Dr. Joey stressing the importance of learning and enduring through challenging times. The idea of surrounding oneself with positive influences and avoiding "energy vampires" is highlighted as essential for maintaining a positive mindset. The hosts also touch upon the significance of setting intentional actions and focusing on small wins to achieve success.  Throughout the discussion, there is an emphasis on the need for intention and action in the face of change, with a focus on practical steps like gratitude journals, morning routines, and the importance of providing value to clients. Dr. Joey underlines the significance of taking control of one's response to external factors and stresses the importance of setting intentional actions to overcome fear and pursue success. The main takeaway from this insightful conversation is the idea that amidst challenging times and industry shifts, there lies the potential for growth and opportunity. The messages shared by the hosts serve as a timely reminder for professionals in the real estate industry to embrace change, remain resilient, and maintain a positive and proactive mindset. This discussion resonates well in the context of the current real estate landscape, where professionals are navigating through industry shifts, changing client needs, and external uncertainties. The emphasis on intention, action, and positivity is crucial in ensuring success and adaptability in such dynamic environments.

In this episode, we discuss the top problems with property investment companies. We talk about what these companies get wrong, and what you need to look out for as someone thinking about using one of these businesses. This includes companies like Opes Partners, Propellor Property Investments, Momentum Realty, enable.me, Positive Real Estate and others. It also applies to any company who recommends New Builds as an investment option.

#232 People have their own concepts and opinions about money, riches and wealth. Early perceptions come from observations of parents' relationships to money. In school years, folks learn to mentally separate the “rich kids” from the “not-so-rich,” all while measuring where they fit into the picture. The media continues to feed our concepts of wealth and money by endlessly focusing on that which divides our society, whether in terms of politics or economics. Being too wealthy equates to being out of touch; being too poor equates to wanting a free handout. Both camps are missing the point. The terms money and wealth may appear to mean the same thing. But while many people emphasize the importance of having an abundance of money, few understand the meaning of true wealth. Wealth is a state of mind. Wealthy people always have enough. In this episode, Jason Whitton, the CEO of Positive Real Estate Group, will help us understand that true wealth is having a sense of abundance, one that we experience rather than possess. Obviously, having enough money to provide a roof over our heads, secure sufficient food and clothing and other basic essentials, and raise healthy and happy families frees us from a lot of anxiety.  What Jason considers as wealth has nothing to do with money. He says seeking true wealth may mean seeking deeper relationships, more personal growth, or ways to create more meaning in life. A list of true wealth assets would likely include family, friends, education, talents, experience, connection to community, self-esteem, the ability to help others, and good health (with some luck and good sense). All of these wealth assets contribute to an overall personal sense of well-being. It also includes the ability to earn more money and use some of that money to positively impact the world. Enjoy the conversation. About Jason: From a small town boy growing up in the remote outback of rural Queensland, to becoming the founder of Australasia's most powerful property wealth creation engine – Positive Real Estate Group CEO Jason Whitton is on a mission to change the way we look at wealth. With over 20 years' experience in the real estate industry, in which his company has closed over 10,000 property deals, coached 7500 clients, and generated a combined property clientele equity of over 5.1 billion dollars – Jason has never been more dedicated to sharing his knowledge and wisdom to help people on their path to wealth creation. However, the father-of-three, and husband to beautiful wife Shay Whitton, never set out to achieve real estate dominance or teach wealth strategy. In fact, it wasn't until Jason had been in the Australian Airforce and then pursued his dream of becoming a teacher, that he stumbled upon real estate as a potent formula for financial growth after he read Robert Kiyosaki's book Rich Dad Poor Dad. Jason became fascinated with its powerful, yet straight-forward concepts around wealth creation, and decided to leave the safety of his stable teaching job to pursue a more ambitious career in real estate. The stakes were high, the road was rocky, and the journey did not unfold without risks and some pretty hefty pitfalls. From learning the ropes as a self-made buyer's agent, to immersing himself in property development, to business deals gone bad. There were losses but most importantly, there was learning. And for someone who has spent at least half-a-million-dollars in personal development, those lessons for Jason have been invaluable. In fact, they ultimately enabled the entrepreneur, along with Shay, Sam Saggers and their business partners and team of leading property experts, to revolutionise the real estate education industry, and transform thousands of people's perception of what they thought was possible for their own ability to create long-lasting wealth. In 2003 Positive Real Estate was born, and now the company operates across three countries in Australia, New Zealand and Manilla, managing a group portfolio of brands that includes property management, finance, real estate sales and of course, Jason's first love – education. Still central to his core DNA, teaching is at the heart of what Jason loves to do, and now he spends much of his time mentoring his team leaders to help their teams and clients succeed. This passion for teaching has transpired in many ways throughout Jason's life, with the property guru responsible for building 17 schools across Nepal, Vietnam, Laos and Fiji where 6000 kids get to go to school and receive an education every day. As a busy family man who runs a diverse network of thriving businesses, Jason is now setting out on another adventurous undertaking – The Wealth Faculty. In this ground-breaking and inspiring podcast series, Jason embarks on a journey to discover the true meaning of wealth, by interviewing world-renowned leaders and wealth champions who have achieved extraordinary levels of abundance. Some of whom are the very experts and advisors that have impacted and contributed to Jason's success as a property investor and coach.

Morning guys? Monday morning. Oh, let me just check if this has been on a wallace. There we go. Well good, morning everybody? Jason here stopping by for another morning coffee and a chat, I hope everyone's well. For those jumping over for the first time, Jason Witten's my name. One of the founders of the Positive Real Estate been helping property investors for over 18 years, building a property portfolios and across Australia, New Zealand and one in Belinda, been investing over 20 years myself. Today, I wanna have a little yarn about the 16, most valuable buildings. Valuable properties I've ever built and I'll tell you a little bit of a story. When I first started out investing, the reason I started investing many years ago, not only to create some wealth but I actually wanted to build schools. I used to be a teacher at a school in Sydney called Knox Grammar School and I loved it. I loved teaching. I loved helping young people and the problem with being a teacher for me was I didn't earn very much money and what sometimes I don't know if any of you guys listening in get this but sometimes you do something that you love, it's awesome. But the financial rewards for it, are poor, they're not great and you're looking into the future and go gee, but it's in the next 40 years earning this much or doing this much then I'm not gonna have much to show for it and that's where I got to when I was teaching at Knox Grammar School and a buddy of mine gave me a book called Rich Dad, Poor Dad. I don't know if anyone's read this. I might've talked about it before, but he gave me this book Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and sort of said, well the job I'm not doing any investing, morning Alison, morning Haime, I'm not doing any investing. You know, I love my job but my income is pretty insignificant at that point in time when I was a teacher in Sydney, it was $36,000 a year. So 36 grand I'm living in Wahroonga and if anyone knows Sydney or all that but it's a pretty flash place, Wahroonga. You know, I'm living in a one bedroom studio flat with my partner, Shay. When we're just having a nice time, we're getting pie but we're not, you know, growing our wealth. So I really wanted to, you know make a change in the education system. Also, I was really passionate about it. I still am very passionate about education. I love education. I think it's one of the keys to changing anybody's life. A good quality education about a subject that can, that matters. So I was a teacher. I read the book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad. I had a bit of an Epiphany. Wow. This could be for me. I could actually buy some investments and investments can grow my wealth and do you know what went on? When I've got some money I'm going to build schools. I'm going to build a school in Australia 'Cause I think the education system could be done a little bit differently especially for young fellows, but you know for anybody, girls or boys I think the education system needs an upgrade personally that anyway, that was my plan. That was my passion and off I went. And a few of you guys might know the story but I bought a few properties. You know, some of them went well some of that didn't go well learned a lot of things skinned a few days. Anyway, fast forward, you know, literally sort of 10 12 years, you know, around the 2012, 2013. And I started in 2001 investing for myself. So 2012, 2013 and I'm feeling completely lost despondent. I just feel my life has just gone in the wrong direction for those sorts of things. I've made some money, absolutely started the business. It's going really well. But I don't know about you guys. Like sometimes when you've got all these things and things seem to be going well over there purpose, the value, the real value, wasn't as meaningful to me. Money is really important. I'm very, very, I'm very, very happy and focused about making good money, a lot of money. 'Cause I can do some good things with it that that's like I don't have a problem with money. Some people do. Some people think, oh, money is evil, rubbish. It's the people who do stuff with the money that they've got a problem . Anyway, I was there. I felt off track with my purpose in life and I'm feeling quite despondent. Actually. I was on my way to Adelaide and I was going to one of our mentoring workshops in Adelaide, feeling a little bit down and walking in through the airport, I saw a book on the shelf, just jumped out, you know those airport bookshops, leaving Microsoft to change the world. And it caught my eye a lot. Okay, cool. I'm gonna grab a book to read. And I read this book on the plane and it literally changed the direction of my life. And I, I suggested it the other day to a few people to read for me, it was an absolute game changer. And that's it like, I don't have to build a school probably cause it's quite hard to build a school in Australia. I could do, I could build schools elsewhere and have a huge impact. So after that I read the book, went to Adelaide. I actually canceled going to the seminar and I actually locked myself in my hotel room and I wrote a new plan for the next decade. And it was about creating wealth for myself, but also when I can and then magnify and multiply in another life. So we started a relationship with a room to read the foundation and started building schools. We built a school in Nepal and 500 kids went to school. Okay. It costs $30,000, 30 Grand. We built a school. It was amazing. Okay. And it's really cool. Like it, read the room to read philosophy. It's about a co-investment in a community and the community has to put in the land and the community has to do some stuff and it was brilliant. I love it. It was really, you know, 98% of your contribution gets to the community and funds the community going forward. And so to today 16 schools, 6,000 kids, 6,000 go to school every day again. 6,000 kids. Imagine the return, imagine the yield imagine the growth on that. Yeah. Into the future. And we're building our 17th school right now. And you know, like I don't I don't tell the story to show off or say how good am I or whatever. And thanks Gang. Like, I really appreciate your feedback, but for me and maybe for you too, like sometimes, you know, the pursuit of money, like, Oh, did your property go up in value? And all of this other stuff it kind of seems a bit fucking naff, don't you reckon? If you get wealth in whatever way then for me it feels great to grow that wealth and then reinvest it in other places that had this exponential return gives you the warm and fuzzies anyway, so that, you know, yeah. Giving back man, you know, because this is what I believe. I believe it's our duty. I believe if you get a concept If you get it Your job is to teach and give back in one way, shape or form. You might don't do it directly as an individual But carry your family and making sure you're safe take some dosh and do something good with it. Change the world in a little while pretty is for you. 'Cause I think that's, I think that's good. I think it's cool. And you know that's the philosophy really that is founded positive you know, Sam and all of the coaching team. they love this stuff too. And you know, we let them mention clients now as well. That's part of our philosophy. So, you know yeah. And like , Shay said like we haven't like we don't sort of go visit them. It's something that community gets to do without it feeling like charity, let's be honest, we give we add value and we know the universal pay that forward expedientially, which is awesome. So we love doing that. I thought I'd just share that one today. They are the most valuable 16 buildings I've ever built. For me they're like they're the ones alright they my best investments ever. Dollars and cents, I get returns from other things. But for me the compounding future value, I think just imagine that six thousand, eight thousand, ten thousand kids going to school. One of those kids would be probably many of them be brilliant, amazing and change the world in ways I'll never get to see. So that's what I love about that stuff. So that's what for me, that's what money can do. Alright? Annoys me, these Facebook warriors sitting there carrying on like pork chops, being negative about people who've got some resources that they've got no idea what's going on and I don't have to answer them and nor do you, just do something important, useful, meaningful whatever it is like don't my thing as your thing like do your thing, but don't hold back, don't ever hold back. 'Cause you might find yourself one day a bit sad and despondent in an airport like Adelaide. Hopefully pick up a book and read it and change the direction of your life, might be nice. Anyway, Gang, hopefully. You're awesome and well. I thought I'd share about share that one today. 'Cause it was sort of bouncing around in my mind and hope you all have an awesome day and check back in tomorrow for another coffee and a chat, awesome gang. Alright. Take care hey. See ya. Bye-bye.  

Good morning, everybody. Morning, morning, Jason here. Welcome to another coffee and a chat this morning. I thought, my office, my studio was all set up tonight. I dunno if you can see it here, I've got my mentoring on tonight where we sit down with our team from Positive Mentoring Program. That's my studio behind you. All around, anyway I'll give you a bit of a tour. Morning Ellison. There's everything set up for this evening. If you can see it anyway, it's not a very good tour. Oh, the cameras, lights, action for this evening. But great to see everyone jumping on this morning. Good morning. Marvelous Monday it is. I thought we'd go outside this morning anyway, because my studio is all set up for something else. So we'll sort of pop out. So it's a beautiful day anyway, but for those who are joining for the first time, Jason Whitton's my name. Property investing 20 years, coaching property investors over 18 with my business partner, Sam Saggers, my life partner, Shay Whitton. We've been running Positive Real Estate for that period of time. There's my office up there, actually. If you guys can see, I've got a little office, which is pretty sweet. I live on an acre, not far from the house. So I get to go to the office every day, work from home, but I still get to work from an office. It's kind of nice. So then anyway, I love it. So I thought we'd go outside this morning because absolutely gorgeous outside today. But welcome along for those who are joining me for the first time and those who are coming back, fabulous to see you again. Each morning, get together with everybody. Just talk about property investing. Being like I said, been property investing over 20 years myself and share a little bit of wisdom each morning over a coffee and a chat. So great to see everyone here, a few chats coming through, which is awesome. So give us a shout out if you've got any questions, but this morning I was going to talk about what's it going to take to buy that next property? Because we're all building our property portfolio and often getting started is actually fairly straightforward. You know, you've already got some resources in play. You've already got some income in play. You've already got some deposits or some equity or some cash that you can use, but once they're used, once they're invested, once you've got your deposits, your initial deposits, let's say it's 100, you know, 150 grand. Thanks Carolyn. Let's say your income is, you know, maximized for the servicing. Well, what next for you? What next? And that's what I thought we'd talk about this morning. Two parts to this process that we need to understand about what's it going to take to buy the next property? Number one, actually the easiest one, is where you're going to get the next deposit from? Okay? Unless you've been strewing cash under the mattress for ever and a day, you know, your deposit is going to come most times from two places, okay? Number one, the equity growth in the properties that you already have. Your properties growing in value over and above a certain loan to value ratio. Grow in value and they create the next deposits for you, your own home, your investment properties, or multiple investment properties. Where is that deposit coming from? Now, the challenge sometimes is that growth is a bit slow. Sometimes you need to boost it with your own saving or cash put towards the next deposit. Now this is the tough part. This is the disciplined part of property investing, you need to be disciplined enough to get enough deposits going in a market place so you don't have to save cash anymore, okay? And in my experience, usually two to three deposits in the market working usually then become self-fulfilling, self-rolling, self-replenishing going forward, okay? Two to three deposits. On average, a $500,000 property right now will take you at a 90% loan to value ratio. Approximately 75 to $80,000 to purchase that property depending on the state that you live in, depending on the state that you live in, depending on their statutory expenses and costs, okay? So the stamp duty and so on. So that's why it's like 75 to $80,000, depending on where you're buying, what you're buying, and how you're buying it. If you're buying an owner-occupier, it's a little bit less, if you're buying an investment property, it's a little bit more, okay? So two to three properties, two to three investment deposits would be 150 to $225,000, okay? So that we need that amount of money in the marketplace. You're saying, "well gee, Jason, I don't have that." Well start where you are, okay? So the deposits are created by two mechanisms, one: capital growth from the properties that you already have, and releasing the equity from those properties and two: you saving more deposits, like Alison saying, here, "saving after-tax dollars is a marathon." Now there's a little twist in this, which is something important to understand, when you buy investment properties, if you buy newer properties that give you tax deductions, you get to save your money. You get to create saving for future deposits, from pre-tax cashflow, from dollars before you pay tax, which is good because you get depreciation, okay? So deposits, some people use deposits or create deposits by joint venturing with others, okay? Joint venturing with others, with friends and family or business partners, not my favorite one, but some people do that. One way to create deposits also is to borrow money from family. I quite like that one, especially moms and dads lending money too, when they've got lots of equity and they lend money to their kids, that gives their kids a real good boost because often, younger people have got good incomes, older people do not, joint venture up that way or lending some money that way can be beneficial for everyone at the same time. Where are you going to get your deposit from? Number one, that is the thing you've got to focus on. Where are my deposits coming from? Now into the future, if we're able to borrow up to 95%, then we might need less money to get into properties and that's going to be excellent for us as investors also. Now let's get to the next one, next part of this conversation, which is the tougher one, all right? Like saving's pretty tough. Like Alison said, that you know, most of us haven't got a gazillion dollars hidden under the mattress, use your extra cash flow, Use your tax benefits, tighten the belt a little bit on things that you don't need to have right now, that you can buy your properties with. One of my clients, Justin, he sold his car and his motorbike and saved his butt off for his first deposit, okay? He didn't need a car, he didn't need the motorbike. He sold them, got the money, bought a property, consequently, he's made a hundred thousand dollars in equity and now he's going on and he's getting set up for his next property. Now he did the next thing, which we talked about for a little while as well. So often we get to the point where we might have equity, we might have deposits, we're ready to roll, but servicing, the ability to service the loan, holds us back. And we're like, well, what are we going to do about this? And this is the tough talk gang, that maybe some of us need to have. If you want to build that property portfolio, you have to increase your income. End of story. End of story. "Oh, what do you mean by that, Jason?" Well, sometimes all of us are sitting in jobs that number one, let's talk about this, number one, you're sitting in a job you don't like, it's easy, it's not that hard, but it doesn't earn you that much money, okay? You know, it's not a career, you don't really care about the job. It's not something that you love doing. Well here's my conversation with you gang, come in bit closer, 'cause this is for real. It's time to get your arse into gear and get a decent job that pays you decent money, more money than you're making right now, and go and find somewhere that you'd like to be instead of just coasting life in a comfort zone, all right? You need to get out of your comfort zone, income comfort zone, and you need to get into a zone where you're earning decent money, all right? Now, just because you finish high school or university doesn't mean you stop learning. There are people in your industry earning more than you. Double, triple, I know there's every single industry in the whole of Australia where you are right now, I would say 95% certainty, you are earning less than the best people in your industry. Yeah, it's hard for you in the world of the military, Alison, 'cause you've got to sort of stand in line, right, to get there. But look at you, you're starting a degree as well and I love that, okay? You're never stuck. There's no such thing, it's bullshit, gang. It's bullshit. You increase your income, 20, 30, $40,000, right? By getting a promotion, you know, Alison studying after-hours, getting a degree, so she could increase her income. Gang, like now's the time. Now's the time. I'm telling you right now, stop stuffing around in the comfort zone, right? "Oh, you know, I'm a bit scared." Well you know what? It's going to be worse when you're 50 or 60 and you didn't do it when you were younger and even if you are 50 or 60, it's certainly not over when it comes to this stuff. Get your finger out of your butt and get going, all right? Get your thumb out. Because life goes by, the big wheel keeps on turning, whether you're in there or not. And I'm telling you right now, those who get up each day and go, "yep, I'm going to fix this. I'm going to go for it." Get up an hour each day, show up to work an hour early, every single day for the rest of the year. Go and do that. Go do one more hour, get noticed by the boss, ask for the pay rise, push for the pay rise. Go for it, all right? Study after hours, do one hour every day of study, like Allison's doing, right? Look for that extra job. Look for the look for those employers who are paying 50 grand more for that person for your role somewhere else and go and ask why, okay? Because gang, there is more money in the marketplace than ever before. Like, there's zero return for cash. Businesses, industries are looking for the best people who want to get up and go for it every day. And you guys who want to be property investors, you're not slackers, right? Like you guys are going for it, you're pushing for it. You know, many of you guys are in the top 1% of Australians who own real estate. It's not like you've never pushed yourself before, but this one's the important one. You have to increase your income. The faster you increase your income, the better off you're going to be for borrowing, the quicker you get your acquisitions done, like the purchasing done, right, the quicker more properties you get to purchase, the better your wealth becomes into the future, which is important. So and Melinda's into it as well. Good work, Melinda! Well done. Right? Gang, don't miss this one. Your deposits are important. You can only save so much. You can only reduce your expenses so much. Your income, by and large, is expediential, you can earn any amount of income into the future if you choose. Up-skill, increase your capacity, get you degree after hours. Wow, man, like you can literally study now online with a degree and you can get it without ever having to attend a university. Oh, a physical one anyway, all right? That's amazing! I love that stuff. Taif, uni, online courses, up-skill, it is never been easier to connect with the ability to increase your income. Up-skill, push for the promotion and if the promotion doesn't come, find somewhere else that will pay you better, more money. And like I said before, my client, Justin, he was working in the Gold Coast and then he got himself a job in the mines in Western Australia and now we're getting set for his next property, all right? So there you go. Hopefully today's conversation landed. You need deposits. Where are your deposits coming from? You need two to three deposits in the market working for you. So you can rotate those deposits at least two or three times over the next 5 to 10 years, that will replenish and land for your deposits and income. Don't sit around complaining that your servicing is no good, all right? Don't come and complain to me or your coaches, right? Because I can tell you right now that is 100% your gig to fix. And if you're sitting there and you know that you could get better income, more income, you could be pushing yourself, you could be getting a degree, you could be earning more, then you need to do it. Get on with it gang. Time to crack on with this stuff because the world's not going to wait. The big wheel will keep on turning. And in 5, 10, 15 years, you'll wish you went back and did one our each day. Imagine that, one hour. One hour, every day, get up one hour earlier, put in one hour extra. When? Every day for the next year, two years, five years, the compounding effect of that, where would that put you? Where would that put you, gang? You know, I chatted to Tim Forester the other day. I don't know if anyone knows Tim Forester, he's worth about half a billion dollars and nice work, Brendan! And he said, well, you know, "I'll get up every day. And I work hard and long all day, because I love it, love it!" He said the money's, you know, and sure he's got plenty of coins, right? But at the end of the day gang, you know, go and find something you love to do or love what you're doing. Love what you're doing. Shay just put it in there, you know, there was one of our clients in Tasmania. She went and got extra work driving a bus. Driving a bus. Driving a bus. Had a great time chatting with people. I've got clients who drive Uber. Uber for a couple of hours on the weekends to make extra coin, to get that extra property. Gang, there's always something you can do. Right now, in this world, it's never been easier to get access to good education, good information, good opportunities. So hopefully my conversation landed today. A bit of encouragement. Crack on gang! 'Cause the world's not going to wait. And I'm so pumped about the next decade of property investing because interest rates are the lowest ever been. Ever, ever been. Servicing is tough. It's going to get better, but you need to increase the income and away you go. So Julie said, "I'm not sure about understanding the three deposits." Julie, what I'm saying is the first two to three properties that you have will require some capital, some investment. On average, depending on who you are, that'll be a 10% deposit plus 5% for your costs, okay? So that's about 75 to $80,000. Those three deposits in three different properties, once they're in that property, we want those properties to grow in value and return those deposits to us so we can go again, okay? So it's called recycling of the deposit. Hopefully that makes sense, Julie. If you need a bit more info, reach out to your coach. If you don't have a coach, you need one. Yeah, reach out if you need a coach, buddy. If you do have one, cool, give him a call, talk to your coaches have a little chat with him. All good. I think that's it. I think I might have had a little bit of rant today. Hopefully that was fine, gang. But yeah, listen, don't wake up in 5 or 10 years time and say, "okay, I could have done, I should have done better." It's time to do it. Every day it's time to do it. Wake up, make it happen. Alison said, "link it to your goals," which is awesome. Aw, thanks Mel. Okay, I'll check that. We launched, yeah. I chatted with Trevor Hendy and I don't know if anyone remembers Trevor Hendy and the podcast launched today, actually. Mel reminded me, thanks for that, I was off on a bit of a rant. I chatted with Trevor Hendy, six times IRONMAN champion, member of Order of Australia, Sporting Hall of Fame. What a cool dude. And it was a pretty cool conversation to sort of see, you know, he had fine fortune, the world at his feet, and it all blew up. Divorce, bankrupt, the lot. And then he made a comeback and amazing stuff now. So yeah, go have a listen to that one. That one's a really cool. Yeah, he's a champion all right, Mel. What a cool conversation I had with Trevor Hendy, so. Hey listen, if anyone's listening in, do us a favor, can you subscribe, leave us a comment, and download an episode? That gets me up the charts! Which is cool. All good. Oh, Julie, you want to invest in the Gold Coast, not a bad place. You've got to be careful where you invest in the Gold Coast, 'cause it is a bit of hit and miss. Give us a shout out if you want some help with that, buddy. Anyway, there you go. I think I've been on camera for a bit this morning. So hopefully everybody is well, it's been a great conversation. Looking forward to mentoring tonight. Everyone, mentoring is on tonight. We're talking about finance, which is why my rant this morning. And we're talking about actually off the plan tonight. How off the plan is going to be very useful in the next little bit about our strategy. You've got to get it right. It can be absolutely disastrous if you get it wrong, but it can be an absolute winner if you get it right. So we're talking through those strategies tonight at mentoring. That's why I've got my studio up there, all set up for tonight's mentoring. So make sure you join us tonight, gang. It's gotta be a Cracker. So download my podcast. I know Sam would have had his podcast launched today. Actually his launch is on Wednesday and join us tonight for mentoring, gang. Other than that, that's me, done and dusted. Another coffee and a chat. Hope you're all well. Have an awesome week. Join me again around about the same time tomorrow for another coffee and a chat. Stay well, stay awesome. And if you need some help, that's what we're here for. Reach out. All right, gang, take care. Have a great day. Bye-bye.  

Hi, good morning everyone, dialing in for a "Coffee and a Chat." Just getting up to my office, show you guys a bit of a tour if you want while I'm getting myself ready for our "Coffee and a Chat" this morning. I don't know, I don't know if you can see in the background there, that's my office. I live in my office about 100 meters from the house which is pretty cool, which is always awesome. Nice to have a bit of room. Hi, so thanks for joining us. If you guys jumping on now, which is cool. Before we get going, always do the intros for those who are joining me for the first time, joining us for the first time. Jason Whitton is my name been property investing, over 20 years and a coaching property investors across Australia and New Zealand with my business partner Sam and my partner and business partner Shay. For 18 years at Positive Real Estate. So, hey listen, good question from yesterday in the chat, someone said, "Hey, listen Jason, is this off the plan thing, safe?" Is off the plan safe? So I thought, I'd talk about that today. I thought I'd have a bit of a chat and say, you know answer that question. 'Cause it's a good question, is off the plan safe? I like off the plan as a strategy personally, it's worked extremely well for me over the years and... Morning, Heidi, morning Raj , Dane's there, Alison morning, I do walk to work Alison. Yep, I get my fitness every time I need something, I'm gonna walk back to the house, which is cool. But I live on a nice spot, live on an acre. I've been working from home for 15 years, which has been cool. So for me, working from home is pretty good. But listen, good question from yesterday, someone asked is off the plan safe? Now off the plan is absolutely perfectly safe. No, no safer, nor more dangerous than any other acquisition strategy. And let me talk you through the strategies that we talk about and we coach too as property investors at Positive and the strategies we've used ourselves. So there's six strategies or types of deals you can do when it comes to buying some residential real estate. Number one, an easy type of strategy for an acquisition strategy is a discount or rebate strategy. So it's pretty straightforward, the property is on the market for 500, you buy it for 450. That's a way you can, as the purchaser acquire the property in a way that can help you create equity, create cash, get a discount, improve your rents and so on. So discount or rebate, we love that one positive. We've done literally thousands of those types of deals over the years, discount love it. The next one a lot of people talk about is a renovation type deal. So buy a property, house, apartment, townhouse, don't care, add some value right? Renovate it, fix it up, small renovation, large renovation. If the renovation is large I would say it's getting towards a development. And I wouldn't call that, something simple. You know if you're adding bedrooms, you're knocking down half the house that's a small development. So we've got discount, rebate, we've got renovation. The next two are ways to add value. And I've done a fair few of these myself over the years. And it's almost like a progression of value adding or ways to do a deal in property investing like sort of one to six here. One is called the strata, okay, so you either buy an existing property. And this is often where there's existing apartments or townhouses all in one title, you know, two, three, four, I've done a strata titling very successfully. Over the years, my largest strata was 15 apartments. I bought 15 apartments in Sydney, I renovated and strated them, they were all on one title so the gentleman who actually owned them or selling them built them himself actually 20 years before. And I purchased them all in one title. I renovated, I strated, chop them up and then onsell them for a very nice profit. So that strata titling. Subdivision is another way to add some value. So subdividing, you know, a big piece of land. It, complies with council measurements and you can chop it up. I've done a fair few of those, and they're really good too. I quite like them, these deals like strata and subdivision require a significant amount, more capital and they require the council to be involved heavily in your deal. And I wouldn't call them beginner deals. I wouldn't call them you know, easy deals, but they are profitable if you buy the right one and you understand how to do it. But I would... If you're within your first three to four properties in your investment portfolio these types of deals are not for you, okay. That's my position anyway, you need a nice solid bind hold wealth based first. Morning Diane. And then you can get onto more interesting deals. The next type of deal is off the plan, okay. And I'll leave off the plan to last. The next type of add value way to do a deal is a full-blown development from scratch. And you buy a piece of land and you can develop it into apartments, townhouses, or even a large subdivision. I do a couple of those a year. They cost way more money and they've got way more risk. And certainly not for the faint hearted. I'll tell you guys a few stories about that maybe in the coming weeks, I'll chuck a couple of stories in my morning, coffee chats about a few of those disasters that I've experienced in my life. Learn some lessons, very good quality, high value lessons, high cost lessons. But the question was is off the plan safe? And the answer is absolutely, what's not safe often are people. Let me just put it that way, all right. The deal is fine, but let me talk through off the plan, the positives and the negatives, okay. Off the plan, if anyone listening in doesn't really understand what it means, it is purchasing a property and 95% of the off the plan purchasing comes from apartments or townhouses where you put a deposit down today, a 10% deposit, you agree on a price today. You have a set of plans and some drawings and some photos. And the developer says "I'm gonna build something like that." And you're like "Good, I like the spot, I like the drawings and the design that you've done, here's my deposit. When you finish it Mr. Developer, Mrs. Developer, I'll pay the rest." Okay so off the plan, I like off the plan because of those things. Now the upside is, for 10% let's say $60,000 as a deposit you can control awesome, amazing pieces of real estate. And there's no more to pay for, let's say two years or three years off the plan. Your piece of real estate can be in a location. Let's say right now, I've got a piece of off the plan property coming up, that our investors will be taking a look at in Brisbane . It's coming up very soon, we're launching it to our, all of our members, all of our mentoring members very soon. And I'll talk you through it, like why I think that deal will be absolutely bomber right? So it's very close to the CBD, two and a half kilometers from the CBD. It's perched up on a cliff, It looks at the city with views, never to be built out. It looks down that way to the river, It looks down that way to the river in Brisbane. Absolutely spot on location and spot on suburb. The developer, so the location is good. The developer is extremely safe, the developer has one development of the year, building of the year, the design of the year, six out of the seven years in the last seven years in Queensland, okay. And then has gone on to win other awards nationally as well. So big tick boom, the developer.. Morning Simone, The developer is fully funded and has some significant resources to complete the deal and does not need secondary or third level finance or funding from untrusted finance and funding sources, okay. So you know, how do we check in on is an off the plan safe? That type of off the plan is awesome, I would expect that my deposit will work hard in the off the plan process. If I put my deposit down $60,000 for two years my deposit and the value of that property will either stay at the same price or potentially go up, okay. I think that mine will go up. I did one in Melbourne just recently in Collingwood. It's settled late last year. And the value went up, you know, $40,000 in the timeframe. And another one I did in Canberra, they both went up in value in the after plan, after plan timeframe. Okay, I put my deposit down and the values in the area rose in the meantime. How can off the plan be unsafe? Okay, well here's how often plan can be unsafe but really it's not the off the plan that's unsafe. It's you as the person that are unsafe to do the deal. Okay, so let me say what that means. Number one, you buy an off the plan property and you choose a poor one or something happens in the market place and it goes down 10% in value. Or the valuer, valuing the property, doesn't want to value it at what you paid for it, or you agreed to pay for it. You've either paid too much, or the value is a wanka. It's probably nine out of ten, the value is being a wanka. Sometimes you'll just pay too much because you didn't know, you didn't get any help, you didn't get any assistance and so on, okay. So you arrive at the time, you have to settle that property for an off the plan and you think, oh I've already put my 10% in, I've got a 90% loan, I'm fine. Hang on now the value it says it's worth 50 grand less and you have to put another $50,000 into the deal to settle it and you don't have the 50,000. So that's what can happen with off the plan. You can arrive when you think you need to settle it and you can't because the lending and the valuation doesn't agree with what you thought it was going to be. So that's where it can be a problem or an issue but what you make... What you gotta make sure you do is make sure you understand who the developers are. You check out their previous projects, you make sure they're fully funded, they're gonna deliver the project on time, et cetera, et cetera, okay. So that can be an external evaluation issue for you. The other one, you lose your job, something happens in your life. Two years is a fairly long time, you might lose your job. You might separate from a partner and let's say, you know, you both agreed you were gonna buy it together, 'cause that's how you could afford it. And then you're now single, your life circumstances change. So that's how often plan can be a little bit dodgy into the future. If your life circumstances are uncertain, okay so you have to be certain that you know, pretty well from where you are today. It's either going to be the same or improve by the time you get to the off the plan settlement. Which is, important, so that's for you. The other one is the quality of the developer. It's called the render to reality, okay. Now it happens in every, every state of Australia. There are good quality developers, we call them brand developers. They have a brand, they have a reputation in the market, which is important to them. And then there are developers that have no brand, no name. You don't even know who the person is building that property. You've never met them, you can't find them in LinkedIn. You can't... They don't have a company, there's no website. That is a no brand developer. And hear me when I say this you guys, there is no, there is zero reason ever to purchase from a no brand developer off the plan, okay. That is when you will get in trouble. That is when that person has nothing, nothing, nothing to lose by delaying, by not paying, by not delivering on what they said was in the brochure because the prices went up, et cetera. And that is where the danger is, It is when you think off the plan that one's 50 grand cheaper. Why would I buy the one that Jason's talking about? When this one over the roads, 50 grand cheaper. Oh my God, It looks exactly the same in the brochure. And that's when you get caught because most people shop on price and not on value, on true value. Price is irrelevant, If it doesn't deliver when it comes down to it, okay. So just make sure you understand what that means. That's why I believe if you ever want to do off the plan, off the plan in a group like we do, we call it co-op buying. We are a co-op and we purchase in bulk in a group 5 or 10 or 15 or 20 from a developer as a group of people that developer must behave, there's 20 of us. And if they don't deliver we will band together and give them a hard time. You by yourself, isolated alone, and that developer doesn't deliver you have got nothing to stand on unfortunately. So can can off the plan be unsafe? Absolutely, 100% It can. It's certainly not for people who don't understand real estate. That's why like buying a property today and... Like seeing a property today and buying it tomorrow is quite simple in comparison to off the plan. But off the plan can be super powerful, massively powerful. I love it, as a strategy, It is certainly a key strategy in good quality real estate around Australia, okay. Ashton just said here about rescinding contracts. Yup, and which is good so Ashton once you're in a contract that off the plan contract, and you've gone unconditional so you as the buyer, you cannot rescind the contract. You can't choose, "Listen, I don't want to do it anymore gang, thanks but no thanks." You're contractually bound to settle a property like you have to do it and you know irrelevant of your circumstances. You can apply, you know, on compassionate grounds let's say something went... Didn't go to plan, you know, you had some circumstances in your life. And I do know a number of really nice quality, good people developers who have let people out of contracts from time to time for genuine issues. But 99% of the time, it's like, well hang on. You know, you said you could pay for it two years ago. I trusted you, I went ahead and build this property. Now I've incurred all the costs, you need to settle it. So you can't get out, if you just change your mind Ashton. That's not how off the plan works. So you have to be certain, to go the distance guys. On the flip side, which is a little bit annoying which is kind of hypocritical when you think about it. But you know, the developer is in the driver's seat not you, they can via a mechanism in an off the plan contract called the sunset clause. The sunset clause rescind the contract, if it goes on too long. So the developer can rescind the contract. Yep, there you go I've seen you asked it there and depending on how the contract's written Ashton you could cancel it or the developer could cancel it, so check in on that one mate, as you go. Certainly once the sunset clause is passed kind of the gloves are off, which is fair enough. You know, maybe something goes wrong, maybe COVID hits you know, in Melbourne it's gonna cost more for that developer to build that property now. And they kind of like... It's gotta make a loss, so they can't go ahead and build it. So there are genuine issues in that process as you go. Melinda asks, what about off the plane in Melbourne gentrifying areas right now? Absolutely Melinda, and we love this. At positive and Sam my business partner has written books about it. He talks about it at universities, the gentrifying areas. And we use the off the plan strategy in the gentrifying areas, right now we all know, we all know that Melbourne is having a bit of a tough time when it comes to COVID right now but it's not gonna be that way forever. And, you know, Melbourne will come strong. It's an amazing city, It's a beautiful amazing place to live. It's got huge amounts going for economically beautiful city. So, you know, if you're concerned about buying a property physical property today in Melbourne, then off the plan is a fantastic strategy. I'm doing off the plan in Melbourne right now. And my property is going to land in 2023, fantastic, right Right in the middle of when you know, the peak level of property shortage, the peak level of everyone back at work and jobs, the peak level of migration going to start and come in the peak level of vacancy rates being low. So I'm using off the plan as a bit of an opportunity to put my foot on a spot, being in control of a piece of real estate to land it at a time where I believe there will be little to no challenges or issues in the rental market. So, but if there is, you have to be prepared for getting that wrong and you have to be prepared to own that property for the long term into the future. And I am, and you know, Melinda, if you're thinking about that now 2022 is gonna be very good. I think it's perfect, but just make sure you grab a little, bit of extra maybe cash, buffer another five or 10 grand up your sleeve, just in case there's a little bit of wobbles, but you know, if the property's good and you're happy to own it for 15 or 20 years then the short-term stuff is just short term off. Off the plan is good, It's a good strategy. If it suits where you are, suits your financial, suits your emotional capacity and your mental capacity as a property investor. But certainly you've gotta check in those no brand, no name, nobody developers, silliest thing you could ever do, just because it's cheap. Cheap does not mean value when it comes to off the plan you guys. If you wanna get a deal, if you wanna get a good price deal, wait till it's complete. Wait till the whole thing's built and at Positive we do that all the time, our crew do it all the time. The last 5 or the last 10 the developer hasn't been able to sell off the plan, well we go in and bash them up and get a big discount. So wait till it's completely finalized. You can get a valuation today, you can get a discount today and you can settle a property tomorrow. And sometimes, sometimes those no name, no brand developers actually deliver a pretty good property. They built it so you can see it, they've built it so you can investigate it. And if they delivered on what they said they were going to do then perfectly fine. But I wouldn't put my money in the off the plan hope and pray strategy for the no brand, no name developer ever, ever that would be madness. Anyway, that was a good chat today gang. That's a good question, thanks for asking that one. I can't remember who asked it but I'll give them a shout out in the chat. So if you guys got any questions, chuck it in the chat, guys always happy to answer, have a conversation about these things, as we go the morning coffee and a chat, I quite enjoy sharing these experiences and ideas with you guys.

It's a big one, it's an amazing one. We're gonna that tonight at 5:00 PM New South Wales time, 4:00 PM Queensland time. I think that's what we're doing anyway, as you go. So join us for that this morning gang, as you go... Ashton there you go, mate, yep the developer got a discount 5% off good work mate. My only thing Ashton with those sorts of things is be careful, if that developer is a no name, no brand, unidentified developer. You know even if you've got the discount, you know, maybe they've under priced it but mate just check in on it. Just letting you know what you've gotta check in mate, but a 5% discount awesome mate good job. That's more money in your pocket and that's the way to roll. So, all right gang if you're gonna join us tonight, join us at 4:00 PM Queensland time, 5:00 PM New South Wales and Victoria time. And for the other States I can never bloody remember. Alright guys, have a good one. Friyay, bye bye.
