Unlocking the Mysteries of Property Law: A Deep Dive into Estates and Future InterestsThis conversation provides an in-depth exploration of property law, focusing on the complexities of estates, future interests, co-ownership, landlord-tenant relationships, and zoning regulations. The discussion emphasizes the precision required in property law and offers practical insights for law students preparing for exams. Key concepts such as the rule against perpetuities, adverse possession, and the evolution of landlord-tenant law are thoroughly examined, providing a comprehensive guide for understanding this challenging subject.Property law is often seen as one of the most daunting subjects in law school, with its roots deeply embedded in historical doctrines and complex terminologies. This blog post aims to demystify the intricate world of estates and future interests, providing a structured guide for students and enthusiasts alike.Understanding the Basics: At the heart of property law lies the concept of ownership and the various interests that can be held in property. The journey begins with possessory estates, where the duration of ownership is defined. The fee simple absolute, for instance, represents the pinnacle of ownership, granting the holder the power to use, abuse, and transfer the property freely.The Language of Estates: The precision required in property law is unparalleled. A single word can determine whether an estate lasts forever or terminates automatically. Understanding the language of estates, such as the difference between a possibility of reverter and a shifting executory interest, is crucial for success.Future Interests: Future interests are not mere hopes of ownership; they are present rights with future possession. The distinction between vested and contingent remainders is pivotal. A vested remainder is a sure thing, while a contingent remainder hangs by a thread, dependent on certain conditions being met.The Rule Against Perpetuities: The infamous Rule Against Perpetuities (RAP) is designed to prevent the control of property from beyond the grave. It ensures that interests vest within a certain time frame, maintaining the marketability of land.Mastering property law requires precision and classification. By understanding the historical roots and modern applications of these doctrines, students can navigate the complexities of property law with confidence.

So today, I'm hanging out with Tim Baldwin, welcome Tim. Thank you, Jason. And Tim is with a company called Property Management Law Solutions. So Tim, give the audience a little bit of background about you and how you kind of got connected to property management, how you kind of started into entrepreneurism. Give us a little bit of your journey. Yeah. Tim Baldwin (01:05) Thank you, Jason. Yeah, so I am an attorney in Florida. I've been licensed to practice law for almost 22 years. I started out as a prosecutor when I was just out of law school. And then in 2006, I started my own practice. And when I did that, I wanted to enter into an area of law that really there weren't a lot of attorneys practicing. And so that led me to property managers, property management itself, and to the landlord business. Jason Hull (01:42) enter Got it. Okay, cool. Yeah. Tim Baldwin (01:54) Since 2006, I really have specialized primarily in this area of law. And so for the past 20 years, I have developed a clientele throughout the state of Florida with my law firm, which is Property Management Law Solutions. And we help landlords, property owners, apartments, and property management companies across the state of Florida. Jason Hull (02:18) And Florida usually is right in line with all the new stuff going on. There's California and Florida. So I'm sure you see some of the new stuff that's probably headed your way from California eventually maybe. Tim Baldwin (02:27) You We're sort of on a different spectrum, I guess you might say in California, but yeah. Jason Hull (02:38) Yeah, yeah, totally. So, okay, well, yeah, I'm really interested in getting into the topic at hand. we're gonna be talking about. proactive strategies like scheduled inspections, maintenance plans, helping landlords stay ahead of costly problems, avoiding crisis mode, ensuring long-term property health, and several other things. There's a lot. So where should we begin? Tim Baldwin (03:06) I think the place to begin really for property managers and landlords is making sure they have the foundations correct. And I think a huge part of that is the lease agreement. The lease agreement is the operations document essentially. And that's where every property manager really should start when it comes to managing property. if you want to head dive into that, I'd be glad to talk about that topic. Jason Hull (03:12) sure they have the foundations correct. Yeah, let's do it. Tim Baldwin (03:30) Well, like I said, it is the foundational document, just the operational document you have with tenants. And Jason, what I've seen throughout the years is sort of this common theme that landlords, property managers don't quite understand the significance of the lease and how ⁓ to see it as their business document, as their operations document, because that document is what Jason Hull (03:30) Well, like I said, it is the foundational. you know this was seen throughout the years is sort of this common theme that landlords that you know property manager managers I don't quite understand the significance of the lease and how to how to see it as their business document as their operations document because that document is what you know obligates the tenants to act or not act in a certain way. Tim Baldwin (03:58) obligates the tenants to act or not act in a certain way. It gives the landlords the enforcement mechanism to run their business the way that they want to run it, as long as it's in compliance with the statute, of course. And so that part of it is ⁓ just absolutely critical. And it should address all of the various topics and ⁓ parts of the property management business that property managers see Jason Hull (04:03) It gives the landlords the enforcement mechanism to run their business the way that they want to run it as long as it's in compliance with the statute of course. Sure. And so that part of it is just absolutely critical and it should address all of the various topics and parts of the property management business that property managers see not just from a day to day standpoint but also the Tim Baldwin (04:27) not just from a day-to-day standpoint, but also the sort of the more rare instances or the occasions where it are unusual, but yet the lease still addresses those topics. Jason Hull (04:31) So are there more rare instances or the occasions where it are unusual but yet the lease still addresses those topics? Yeah, so Tim, I totally agree with you. One of the challenges I see is that usually when it comes to contracts, lot of property management business owners view these contracts as just a protection that happens once you're legally at war with somebody. Instead of a proactive preemptive measure, of setting boundaries and expectations that can create a healthier relationship. so a lot of times it doesn't even matter what is written in the contract, it matters what they think is in the contract, the tenant or the owner. And so this is why we coach our clients on making sure that you do a review through the entire agreement with them and you use that as, like you're saying, as a document to help change things operationally. You go through with them and explain to the tenant, this is what we expect from you. This is when rents due. This is the consequence. Do you understand this? Because it matters what they understand is in the agreement if you want them to be a better tenant or better owner. Otherwise, the document's really just a tool to go to war with somebody once you're in complete chaos. And there's a major issue. And we don't want to be in those situations. We want agreements. And yes, we want to protect ourselves. Tim Baldwin (05:39) Absolutely. Yeah. Jason Hull (05:52) But even better is if we use it as an onboarding tool. Tim Baldwin (05:56) You know, you're exactly right. mean, the education part of this is critical so that tenants know what to expect and sort of preparing onboarding documents that of course reflect what the lease provides. And sort of in tandem with that is the property management agreement itself. So property managers, knowing what they want in their business, knowing how they're going to operate, you mentioned inspections, know, having the criteria of when it is that you're going to inspect the property. Jason Hull (05:56) Yeah, we are. sort of entanglement with that is Tim Baldwin (06:24) You know, if there's ⁓ additional inspections that may come up, whether it's owner requested or maybe it's an incidental that requires you to go inspect. So the property management agreement is just as important on the owner's side of things. And the lease in the property management agreement need to align with each other because you don't want to obligate yourself sort of on one end with the property management agreement, but then not have those enforcement mechanisms on the tenant side of things within the lease agreement. Jason Hull (06:24) ⁓ You know, there's additional inspections that may come up whether it's only requested or maybe it's an incidental that requires you to go expect so that the property management agreement is just as important important on the owner's side of things and the lease in the property management agreement needs to align with each other because you don't want to obviate yourself sort of on one end with the property management agreement but then not have those enforcement mechanisms on the tenant side of things within the lease agreement. Got it, yeah. So if it's important for the tenant and the owners agreements for them to be able to understand these, how important is it for these documents to be plain language versus legal speak? Tim Baldwin (07:10) Well, I mean, it's hard to get away from some of the legal speak if you want to call it that just because it's just like whenever you go close on a property. mean, you know, probably your audience is very familiar with that. I mean, there's just document after document. know, so it obviously can be put in plain terms, but it's not even so much about whether it's going to put in plain terms versus legalese, but rather which subject matter is going to be addressed. That's the more important part of either one of these agreements, the property management agreement or the lease agreement. And so really, ⁓ landlords out there need to make sure, property management companies need to make sure that both of those agreements really take their business from the beginning of how they operate to at the end of the tenancy and even the move out process and what governs those relationships. Jason Hull (07:37) either one of these agreements, the property management agreement or the lease agreement. so really landlords out there need to make sure, property management companies need to make sure that both of those agreements really take their business from the beginning of how they operate to the end of the tenancy and even the move out process and what governs those relationships. Got it. So if they've got these really great agreements in place, hopefully maybe the language is easy enough for them to be able to read it and understand it a bit so it's not super thick like some of the business stuff I've signed in the past. And then, and it's got like all these proactive things like inspections, rent increases are built in and some of these things that it prevents later problems and later challenges. so they don't run into these scenarios where now it's a battle or someone's upset or there's a new negotiation that has to happen. What are some of the most critical things that you're seeing that people need to be putting into these agreements? Tim Baldwin (08:40) Well, aside from just what you might consider to be the typical areas of interest in a lease agreement, what we're seeing a lot nowadays and really for the past few years, a really significant increase in tenant complaints with regard to mold. It's a really, really hot issue. And so having a mold addendum that really... provides the nuts and bolts of what is the obligation of the landlord and the tenant when it comes to a claim for mold. ⁓ It's kind of a fact I just did a podcast or a seminar, mean, a seminar on this ⁓ last week ⁓ on this issue. And because really this is a topic that for years attorneys did not, I don't think even myself included, didn't really properly... Jason Hull (09:02) I when it comes to a claim for more. It's kind of that type of just need a podcast or a seminar, mean a seminar on this last week on this issue. And because really this is a topic that for years, attorneys did not, don't think even myself included, didn't really properly address to the fullest. But since we see it so regularly now, we have a motor venom that provides for what the... Tim Baldwin (09:27) addressed to the fullest. But since we see it so regularly now, you know, we have a molded end of that provides for what the parties are to do in that event. So that's, that's a really big one. You mentioned maintenance. That's another big win ⁓ to where landlords need to be able to put some of the minor maintenance obligations on tenants because what is what's happening. And I'm sure your audience has experienced this before. Jason Hull (09:37) to in that event. So that's a really big one. You mentioned maintenance. That's another big one to where landlords need to be able to put some of the minor maintenance obligations on tenants because what's happening, and I'm sure your audience has experienced this before, is that the tenants expect the landlords to just do everything, mean, down to changing out a light bulb. So if those things are not addressed in the lease, the landlords can really... Tim Baldwin (09:54) is that the tenants expect the landlords to just do everything. I down to changing out a light bulb. And so if those things are not addressed in the lease, the landlords can really find themselves spinning their wheels and just having a hard time with informing the tenants, no, this is your responsibility. But if they can't point to it in a lease, it becomes problematic for the landlord. So those are two big issues that we see a whole lot. Jason Hull (10:05) So just making sure there's really strong clarity related to maintenance, clarity related to mold. Mold's got to be a big issue in Florida. You guys have crazy humidity there. ⁓ Tim Baldwin (10:31) Yeah. Yeah. Jason Hull (10:34) Not as big a deal in California, Tim Baldwin (10:34) It is. Jason Hull (10:35) which is pretty dry, but yeah, still an issue. Anything else that you're seeing? What about maybe like, there's been a lot of push in the last several years for resident benefits packages and putting some additional fees onto the tenants? Tim Baldwin (10:52) Yeah, yeah, the revenue stream is very important, of course, for property management companies and they're trying to figure out ways of creating those additional revenue centers. And one of them is, of course, tenant benefit packages. There's a variety of vendors that try to sort of pull those together into one package so that whatever it is that they're providing to the tenants, you can sort of get it all in one place. Some property management companies are creating sort of ⁓ Jason Hull (11:07) Mm-hmm. whatever it is that they're providing to the tenants, you can sort of keep it all in one place. Some popular companies are creating ⁓ Tim Baldwin (11:21) those incidentals on their own, whether it's insurance coverage, certain amenities, credit building, Jason Hull (11:21) those incidentals on their own. Whether it's insurance coverage, I'm sorry. ⁓ Filters. Yeah, credit building. Yeah. Tim Baldwin (11:35) online portals, and these types of things. sort of this bulk. And then, of course, you've got to price it out correctly to make sure you're not losing money. Jason Hull (11:37) these types of things are sort of this ball. And then of course you gotta price it out correctly to make sure you're not losing money. Tim Baldwin (11:44) Another thing that ⁓ is fairly common and popular nowadays is sort of having these legal services, not legal services, but they're helping to reduce the cost of legal expenses in the event you have an eviction, covering costs or if you want to cover rent that the tenant hasn't paid up to Jason Hull (11:45) Another thing that is fairly common in popular nowadays is sort of having these legal service, they're not legal services, but they're helping to reduce the cost of legal expenses and eventually have an addiction covering costs or if you wanna cover rent that the tenant hasn't paid. Tim Baldwin (12:05) a certain amount. There's all these types of things that are ⁓ becoming more more popular, but as I... Jason Hull (12:06) up to a certain amount, know, all these types of things that are becoming more more popular. as I say to everybody that comes to me in this regard, you really got to make sure you're punching the numbers properly. You don't want to be losing money. And sometimes it has to do with how many properties you manage because you can leverage the numbers to create a bigger and better benefit for the tenants as well as for the property owners. Tim Baldwin (12:13) say to every client that comes to me in this regard, you really got to make sure you're crunching the numbers properly. You don't want to be losing money and sometimes it has to do with how many properties you manage because you can leverage the numbers to create a bigger and better benefit for the tenants as well as for the property owners. Jason Hull (12:34) Yeah, that makes sense. Obviously, we don't want to just be adding more more bells and whistles and services if it's not actually going to be a profit center, if we're going to be losing money. Cool. So now you mentioned, you know, in preparation for this, you know, it says, Tim will also discuss how consistency, documentation, structured maintenance routines. Tim Baldwin (12:43) Exactly. Jason Hull (12:55) not only prevent maintenance, like prevent emergencies, but also build lasting value and trust with tenants. And so let's get into that a little bit. Tim Baldwin (13:03) Yeah, well everything that the property manager does really needs to be mapped out. Again, starting from the very beginning of creating this tenancy all the way through to the end of it is that the property managers need to know, you know, here's what I'm going to inspect. These are the services that we're going to provide. This is how we're going to process towards end of the lease processes. For an example, requiring tenants who are already placed Jason Hull (13:04) Yeah, who are already placed to apply again to make sure that they still qualify to renew that lease. So having all of these touchstones, if you will, throughout the tenancy, those things really need to be mapped out in advance, put into your calendar, having the proper forms that relate to whatever it is that you're doing so you can notify the tenant, hey, this is coming up, or hey, we're going to be here doing this, or hey, the end of your lease is coming up. Tim Baldwin (13:28) to apply again, to make sure that they still qualify to renew that lease. So having all of these touchstones, if you will, throughout the tenancy, those things really need to be mapped out in advance, put into your calendar, having the proper forms that relate to whatever it is that you're doing so you can notify the tenant, hey, this is coming up, or hey, we're gonna be here doing this, ⁓ or hey, the end of your lease is coming up, we need to know what you're going to do. ⁓ Jason Hull (13:55) We need to know what you're going to do. Tim Baldwin (13:58) It really is, ⁓ the structure itself helps to reduce the amount of wasted time. It sort of seems oxymoronic to say, if I put more effort into the management, into the steps of the process, that's gonna take time. But in reality, when you make it a system and these things become automatic, and that it becomes part of what your team does on Jason Hull (13:58) it really is the structure itself helps to reduce the amount of wasted time. It sort of seems oxymoronic to say, if I put more effort into the management, into the steps of the process, that's going to take time. But in reality, when you make it a system, these things become automatic in that it becomes part of what your team does. Tim Baldwin (14:22) the routine, it does reduce a lot of time with confusion. Jason Hull (14:22) on the routine, does reduce a lot of time with confusion, Tim Baldwin (14:27) know, miscommunication, missing things that you should have caught, and then making sure that you know which tenants should be renewed and which ones shouldn't be renewed. So all these things work together to make management a more efficient system. Jason Hull (14:27) miscommunication, missing things that you should have caught, and then making sure that you know which tenants should be renewed and which ones shouldn't be renewed. So all these things work together to make management a more efficient system. Got it. So a lot of property managers probably initially tried to do everything themselves. That's like what entrepreneurs do. They're like, I'll figure it out. Tim Baldwin (14:48) Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Jason Hull (14:51) I'll go ask AI, I'll go watch some YouTube videos. I don't know if I need a lawyer. I don't know. And they try and figure this stuff out themselves. What are some of the challenges that you see that kind of reveal to you why your business exists? Obviously your business exists to solve some real problems. So why would they need PM Law Solutions? Tim Baldwin (15:14) Well, it's kind of like what you're doing in the sense that when you have a service that's servicing a need for property managers, you're the professional, you have the training, you have the experience, you have the knowledge to help managers deal with really what they shouldn't have to be dealing with on the day to day. So from my standpoint, of course, property managers are not lawyers. Well, it's more than just law. Jason Hull (15:38) It's more than just law. It's seeing the big picture, it's seeing the full scope of how you get from point A to point Z seamlessly, efficiently, with productivity. And so having the professionals to help you streamline what you're doing, make sure you're doing it properly, make sure you're doing it to reduce the risks of liability is all part of what a professional should be helping you with, whether it's an attorney or even somebody like yourself who says, you want to grow?

And so having the professionals to help you streamline what you're doing, make sure you're doing it properly, make sure you're doing it to reduce the risks of liability ⁓ is all part of what a professional should be helping you with, whether it's an attorney or even somebody like yourself who says, hey, you want to grow? you want more business, you want to be able to do it with more profit, then these are the steps you need to be taking. So any professional that's servicing that kind of a company, first of all, they should have something that they're providing that is the benefit and it has the value that they're paying for that service. Jason Hull (16:08) you want more business, you want to be able to do it for a profit, and these are the steps you need to be taking. So any professional that's servicing that kind of a company, first of all, they should have something that they're providing that is the benefit and it has the value that they're paying for that service. So what are some of the, I'd love you to tell the audience a little bit about property management law solutions and why they should maybe entertain a conversation with you. why your company might be beneficial, how you could help them with some of the stuff we've been chatting about.

For now. For now, okay. Okay, so if they're Florida property manager, if they're not a Florida property manager currently, where would you send people? Like how do they find somebody that's gonna be a good resource similar to you in another state? Well, the association is... Tim Baldwin (19:44) For now, we are expanding outside of Florida, but yes. Well, the associations, ⁓ apartment associations, residential property management association may have some referrals in that way. And so I would probably start there. You can look at the bar association websites in those states to see if there are attorneys who hold themselves out as experts or specialists in that area of law. Those are two common ways of doing it. Obviously you could do a Google search, but trying to find someone. Jason Hull (20:11) Okay. and hold. you can do Google search but trying to find someone and I would encourage your audience to find the right law firm that fits the way you like to do business, who fits your personality, that you can easily communicate with, that you're able to get in contact with them in fairly short order.

So you might reach out to other companies or other landlords that you know in your network, start asking for referrals, do an interview, contact the law firm, ask them if you can talk to them about what they can provide to you, what their cost is, obviously, and see if that is a good fit for you.

How do you make sure your capital actually works for you—and doesn't just sit idle or worse, lose value? This episode takes a realistic look at opportunity cost, comparing the potential of real estate against dividend-paying stocks, fixed deposits, and other asset classes. It challenges the assumption that property always performs, and instead asks: when does it truly outperform? Melvin Lim from PropertyLimBrothers explores whether a $500,000 paper margin gain is still achievable in the current market, and what strategies can make it possible. He breaks down common traps like stagnating assets, explains the impact of lease decay, and shares how quadrant-based property selection can change your long-term results. Through examples like penthouse plays and timing your asset exits, this is a strategic guide to deploying capital with intention.

The Legal Labyrinth of Santa Claus: A Deep Dive into Christmas Eve's LegalitiesThis conversation explores the legal implications of Santa Claus's operations, analyzing how various areas of law apply to his mythical activities. From criminal trespass to product liability, the discussion delves into the complexities of implied consent, property rights, tort law, employment law, and privacy concerns, ultimately revealing how cultural norms and legal frameworks intersect in the context of Christmas traditions.Imagine a world where Santa Claus isn't just a mythical figure but a legal entity navigating the complex web of global laws. This blog post explores the hypothetical legal challenges Santa might face if his Christmas Eve operations were subject to modern legal scrutiny.Santa Claus: A Legal Person? In this thought experiment, we treat Santa as a legal person running a transnational manufacturing and logistics corporation. From property law to torts, we explore how Santa's actions, like landing on rooftops and entering homes, could be viewed through a legal lens.Implied Consent and Social Custom: One of the most intriguing aspects is the concept of implied consent. The widespread tradition of leaving cookies and milk for Santa suggests a social custom that might hold up in court as an implied license for entry. But what happens if a homeowner explicitly denies entry?The Naughty and Nice Database: Santa's operations extend beyond physical deliveries. The Naughty and Nice database raises significant privacy concerns, especially under laws like COPPA. How does Santa navigate the legal minefield of data collection and privacy?This exploration reveals that even the most whimsical traditions can be dissected through the lens of law. As we ponder these legal hypotheticals, we are reminded of the robust structure of law that governs human behavior, no matter how extraordinary.Subscribe Now: Stay tuned for more deep dives into the intersection of law and culture.

During this time of year as many people are exchanging presents, I'm sure you're all wondering exactly how those various gadgets would be classified under the HO3 policy. So for this holiday week, we're sharing a classic episode featuring an excellent coverage scenario. The insured, a father of 4, was out buying Christmas gifts for his children. This year he decided to splurge and buy each of them a drone and an Apple Watch. On his way back home, he stopped to get gas, and when he went into the minimart for coffee, a thief stole everything out of the back seat. The insured notified the police and submitted a claim under his ISO 1991-edition HO3. The adjuster considers this to be a covered Theft loss, but she knows there are specific provisions in the policy for watches and aircraft. Notable Timestamps [ 00:17 ] - A theft claim is submitted for four drones and four smartwatches under the 1991 HO3. The question arises whether special provisions for aircraft and watches applies. [ 01:27 ] - The team debates the merits of drones and smartwatches, their capabilities for wall damage and dog-scaring, and the wisdom of being notified emails the instant they are received. [ 03:09 ] - A $1,000 special limit of liability applies to theft of "watches." Is an Apple Watch a watch? [ 03:42 ] - Alissha argues that smartwatches are too different from a basic time-telling watch, and is more like a phone. Smartwatches were likely not part of the original policy intent. [ 04:55 ] - Mike argues that it's called an "Apple Watch" -- its makers and users consider it a watch, even if it's more complex. [ 06:05 ] - The group quotes Shakespeare and Merriam-Webster; it tells the time and it's on your wrist, so… [ 06:30 ] - Grassie v. Merrimack Mut. Fire Ins. Co., 291 A.2d 254 (N.H. 1972) (watches that were inoperable and kept in display case were still subject to special limit of liability for theft of watches). [ 07:00 ] - Ambiguities are construed in favor of the insured. So both sides need to hire a good lawyer. [ 07:52 ] - How would the policy treat an iPhone strapped to your arm? Coverage C would likely provide full coverage for a smartphone. [ 09:51 ] - "Property Not Covered" includes "aircraft"… but "model or hobby aircraft not used or designed to carry people or cargo" are covered. [ 10:20 ] - Toy drones likely fall under hobby aircraft. [ 11:15 ] - This scenario looked at what's covered property, but a drone could also be a covered cause of loss, even if it destroys itself. [ 12:40 ] - Unlike BP and CP forms, there's no concern about the loss happening off-premises; homeowners get worldwide coverage for Coverage C. [ 14:19 ] - In the 2022 ISO form, a $2,000 special limit of liability applies to model or hobby aircraft. [ 15:51 ] - Under the recovered property provision, if the thief is caught after the amount is paid, the insured can choose to return the payment or have the insurer salvage the goods. [ 18:00 ] - Tim provides a recap of the scenario and the points above.

He has scaled portfolios by several multiples, implemented advanced leasing and maintenance systems, and built a reputation for operational excellence and client-focused service. A US Marine Corps Captain in the reserves, Skyler brings strong discipline, leadership, and a focus on organizational growth to his work. He's also an active real estate investor and committed community supporter who enjoys sharing practical insights on property management trends and strategies. In this episode… Property management looks deceptively simple from the outside — collect rent, fix a few things, keep the peace. But behind the scenes, it's a daily juggling act filled with shifting market pressures, demanding vendors, and residents whose expectations change with every economic headline. So what does it really take to run a modern property management company without burning out? According to Skyler Walker, a seasoned real estate investor and small-business operator, the answer starts with acknowledging that the job is both a grind and a calling. Drawing from his experience navigating everything from vendor frustrations to uneven rent trends, Skyler explains that the biggest challenge isn't just the workload — it's the breadth of responsibilities and the low expectations set by years of inconsistent industry standards.

The Michael Yardney Podcast | Property Investment, Success & Money
If you've been watching property prices over the past few years, you've probably noticed some strange trends – massive price rises, unpredictable shifts between cities and regions, and what feels like an endless debate about affordability. But what if I told you that the last five years of price data might be leading investors astray? Today, I'm joined by Stuart Wemyss, financial strategist and founder of ProSolution Private Clients, who has written a confronting article explaining why the last five years of data are the least reliable in decades. Together, we'll unpack what's distorted the numbers – from COVID lockdowns and construction cost blowouts to volatile borrowing power and migration swings – and how smart investors can cut through the noise to focus on long-term fundamentals. Our conversation highlights the significance of local knowledge in making informed investment decisions and the need for a strategic approach to property investment, rather than relying solely on short-term data. Takeaways · The property market is influenced by various factors, including lending volumes. · Rising construction costs have a significant impact on property values. · Borrowing capacity has fluctuated due to regulatory changes and interest rates. · Migration trends can create pressure on rental markets and property prices. · Data analysis in property investment requires both science and art. · Local knowledge is crucial for making informed investment decisions. · Investors should focus on long-term fundamentals rather than short-term data. · Understanding the reasons behind market movements is essential for smart investing. · Population growth alone does not guarantee property price increases.

Episode 2 of the Property Playbook we focus on the preapproval process for purchasing a home here in the 915.
In this episode of The Property Nerds, Arjun Paliwal, Jack Fouracre, and Adrian Lee explore the evolving landscape of property investment, focusing on regulatory changes, lending policies, and market dynamics shaping investor strategies. The discussion highlights the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority's (APRA's) new policy limiting high-risk investor lending to 20 per cent of banks' portfolios, potentially shifting opportunities toward brokers and non-bank lenders. The trio emphasises the importance of maintaining a long-term perspective, as life changes and cash flow constraints can affect borrowing capacity despite debt-to-income (DTI) ratios. Strategies such as rentvesting are discussed as ways to maintain a DTI under six while building a property portfolio. Lender Mortgage Insurance (LMI) waivers and extended 40-year loan terms are highlighted as tools that can reduce upfront costs and increase borrowing flexibility. Additionally, the discussion addresses the nuances of shading rental income in DTI calculations, helping investors understand their true borrowing capacity. The co-hosts stress that professional guidance is critical for navigating regulatory shifts and optimising investment decisions.

In this episode of the Scottish Property Podcast, Nick and Steven are joined by Russel Godferry, a hands-on property investor who shares an honest account of navigating the realities of property investing through changing market conditions, COVID disruption, and shifting tenant behaviour.Russel talks openly about lessons learned from deals that didn't go to plan, how his strategy evolved over time, and why resilience, adaptability, and realistic expectations matter far more than hype. This episode is a grounded, experience-led conversation that cuts through “Instagram property” and focuses on what actually happens once you're in the game.
This is one of those Money Diaries that starts with a decision that feels sensible at the time… and slowly reveals just how much weight it carries. When her partner suggested using her inheritance to buy property together, it felt like the right next step. The grown up one. The kind you make when you’re building a future with someone. Then the relationship ended, and that decision didn’t disappear with it. In this episode, she walks us through what happens next. The parts of property ownership no one explains when you’re in love. The confidence knock that comes from being told you’re “bad with money.” And the reality of having to step up financially before you feel ready. She also shares the systems she built to make money feel manageable again, especially with a brain that doesn’t love numbers, and the lessons she wishes she’d known before saying yes. This one is full of the stuff you don’t realise you need to know until you really, really do. Ready to binge more relatable, inspiring, and downright juicy money stories?

(( The Voluntaryist Constitution. )) I've met Liberland's President, Vít Jedlička, and previous meetings of the Property and Freedom Society. At this year's PFS meeting, he invited me, Alessandro Fusillo, and Hans-Hermann Hoppe to the Liberland meeting in Prague this December. We did attend. It was a marvelous event.

I. Man, Action, and Freedom A. Acting Man A free society has long been the aspiration and dream of liberals of all types, including modern libertarians.[2] What exactly is freedom? To understand this we must understand the nature of human action in the world. Man finds himself in a world of scarcity and hardship, where nothing is guaranteed to him—neither food, nor shelter, nor safety, nor survival. Acting man is aware of his present state and the world around him, of the receding past, and the coming future. He lives in the present, always moving from the immediate past into the coming future. He constantly faces uneasiness in his present condition and about the future anticipates is coming. He is neither omnipotent nor omniscient, as implied by the existence of scarcity and uneasiness, and yet he can act: he can acquire knowledge: he can learn what ends are possible and what scarce means (resources) can cause things to happen. He can use his body, which he directly controls, and he can acquire and possess and use resources in the world by grappling with them using his body, to make things happen—to give rise to a different future than the one he foresees will arrive without his intervention.[3] Knowledge about the world—about causal laws, recipes, facts about the world and his environment, about possible ends he could choose and possible means he could employ—and the availability and employment of causally efficacious resources together make successful human action possible.[4] It makes possible the achievement of ends and the alleviation of felt uneasiness. By using one's mind and body it is possible to succeed, to achieve what Mises would term psychic proft.[5] B. Acting Man in Isolation For Crusoe on his island what concerns acting man is causal and technical knowledge, and knowledge about contingent facts in his world—and the availability of means of action. For him he may face wild animals, injury, lightning and storms and drought and disease, and any number of challenges, but the concept of freedom does not arise. There is only successful action, or profit, and life; and loss and failure, and death. C. Acting Man in Society With the presence of other people man, the social animal, can benefit from the comforts of society, from collective cooperation, from intercourse and trade, from the division and specialization of labor. But there is also the possibility of violent conflict over the use of the scarce means of action that are essential for successful human action. Other people are a potential benefit but also a potential threat. Perhaps because men are social animals have some empathy for others, and perhaps because they understand that violence is not productive, they prefer peaceful and productive use of resources, trade, and cooperation to violence, conflict, and strife.[6] Thus there tends to emerge in society the institution of property rights: widespread social respect for and mutual recognition of property rights rooted in original appropriation and contractual title transfer.[7] Unfortunately, this tends to give rise to an agency—the state—that claims the right to tax and to ultimate decision-making and law-making. As Hoppe notes, Let me begin with the definition of a state. What must an agent be able to do to qualify as a state? This agent must be able to insist that all conflicts among the inhabitants of a given territory be brought to him for ultimate decision-making or be subject to his final review. In particular, this agent must be able to insist that all conflicts involving himself be adjudicated by him or his agent. And implied in the power to exclude all others from acting as ultimate judge, as the second defining characteristic of a state, is the agent's power to tax: to unilaterally determine the price that justice seekers must pay for his services. Based on this definition of a state, it is easy to understand why a desire to control a state might exist. For whoever is a monopolist of final arbitration within a given territory can make laws. And he who can legislate can also tax. Surely, this is an enviable position.[8] The purpose of property rights, of justice, is to permit men to use their own bodies and peacefully acquired (meaning: acquired by original appropriation, which violates no one's rights as the resource is unowned; or by consensual contractual transfer from a previous owner, which also violates no one's rights as the owner consents to the transfer) scarce means without conflict from others. It is so that men are free to use their own bodies or resources without interference from others. II. Freedom in Society Thus terms like freedom and liberty denote a state of affairs where acting man is free to use his body and other scarce resources in the world without physical interference by others—without conflict. It refers to a world where men are free from interference by private trespassers and also free from institutionalized interference by a state. Freedom and liberty just mean the absence of aggression with private property rights. Ideally, a free society means having either no state at all or a minimal state (minarchy) restricted to preventing aggression defined in terms of property rights,[9] and in a society with a largely libertarian ethos and minimal private crime. In such a society there is widespread liberty because there is little private crime and little to no institutionalize crime. A. Freedom and State Aggression But we live in a world governed by non-minimal states. They control most habitable territory on the earth. They compel membership and payment of taxes and monopolize their services, outlawing competitors. By legislative decree, these states prohibit not only acts that are malum in se but acts that are merely malum prohibitum. Although the justification for the agency that polices crime is to reduce aggression by private trespassers, with the state there is more private crime than there would be otherwise, because states are necessarily inefficient an also because they criminalize non-criminal actions.[10] All states are, in fact, criminal (and even minimal states would be criminal, even if they managed to ever emerge); all states engage in institutionalized aggression against private property rights. As Hoppe notes: socialism, by no means an invention of nineteenth century Marxism but much older, must be conceptualized as an institutionalized interference with or aggression against private property and private property claims. Capitalism, on the other hand, is a social system based on the explicit recognition of private property and of nonaggressive, contractual exchanges between private property owners. Implied in this remark, as will become clear in the course of this treatise, is the belief that there must then exist varying types and degrees of socialism and capitalism, i.e., varying degrees to which private property rights are respected or ignored. Societies are not simply capitalist or socialist. Indeed, all existing societies are socialist to some extent. … Next to the concept of action, property is the most basic category in the social sciences.
