There are six numbers you need to know before buying a rental property. We run these numbers before we buy any investment, and knowing all six gives you the highest chance of making money instead of purchasing a headache.  We'll give you the full list of the six most crucial real estate numbers and how to calculate them so you get the highest return possible. Most new investors skip over most of these, and it costs them—big time. But calculating these in advance lets you know whether you're buying at the right price, how much you can later sell your property for, if your rents will be high enough for you to cash flow, and whether the deal is even worth holding on to. Plus, we'll throw in a bonus metric you can easily calculate that quickly shows you whether a rental property, fix-and-flip, BRRRR (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat), or any other deal is actually worth the effort you're going to put in.  In short, if you know these six numbers, you can confidently make a move on that first or next investment property.  In This Episode We Cover Do NOT trust the list price! How to tell if the property you're buying is overpriced, underpriced, or just right  The one thing every real estate deal must have for Henry to buy it (it's not cash flow) How to price rent (the right way) and ensure you're going to cash flow  The single most overlooked expense that can ruin almost any real estate deal  Stop trusting "cash flow." This metric works much better at calculating returns  And So Much More!

Key Topics Covered: 1. Design as Custodianship, Not Decoration Julian explains that design is about how a property works, not just how it looks in photos. He links design to long term wealth planning: like pensions, it's too important to leave entirely in someone else's hands. The goal is performance over years: easy lettings, happy tenants, fewer repairs, and a product that holds value. 2. The Big Mindset Shift: Property Is a Business and a Product Julian challenges the word “investment” and suggests landlords are really buying a business. Each property is a living, breathing product that gets used, abused, and needs managing. If you don't treat it like a business, it can quietly become a liability over five to ten years. 3. How Properties Become Liabilities Over Time Poor design and poor maintenance create a snowball effect: worse condition attracts worse tenants, which accelerates deterioration. Julian shares examples of developments becoming hard to sell or even “unmortgageable” due to maintenance and management issues. Legacy matters: many children don't want property, so dumping a problematic asset onto them creates stress, not wealth. 4. Why You Can't Abdicate Design to Architects and Builders Plans can pass planning and building regs but still be awful to live in. Common issues include impractical layouts, no storage, poor kitchen design, and bathrooms that don't function properly. Julian introduces the “good, fast, cheap” triangle: you can pick two, but not all three, and landlords pay the price later if they chase cheap and fast. 5. Practical Design Thinking for HMOs and High Use Properties In HMOs, the room is the tenant's home, so it must support multiple functions, not just sleep. Flow matters: kitchens, waste, smells, and shared spaces can make or break tenant experience and long term value. Lighting and electrics are often done to a builder's default spec, but that can create uncomfortable living and higher churn. 6. Serviced Accommodation Is an Experience Business Short stay guests want something boutique and memorable, not copy and paste. Julian recommends living in your serviced accommodation for a week to spot friction points: heating controls, WiFi, TV, keys, lighting, and usability. Service quality affects reviews, and reviews affect profitability. He references research suggesting superhost status can significantly lift margins. 7. The Commercial Upside: Small Design Changes, Big Profit and Value Gains Julian shares an example where improving presentation helped increase rent by £150 per month, which translated into a major profit uplift. He highlights how many landlords don't know their true profit margin, and confuse turnover with profit. Improving existing assets often delivers faster ROI than buying new ones, especially if older stock is dragging performance down. 8. How Julian Helps Investors: Training and Hands On Support Julian trains investors to become “design aware” and “design led” without needing to be designers. He offers remote consults (including Zoom based reviews), layout planning, electrical plans, materials specs, and project support via WhatsApp. His core message: be involved, be informed, and take control of the decisions that shape income and maintenance. Actionable Takeaways Treat each property like a business product, not a passive investment. Design for performance: durability, usability, flow, and maintenance, not just photos. Don't assume architects and builders will design a home that works, review layouts with real living in mind. Audit your existing portfolio before buying more, older assets may be dragging your returns down. Know your numbers: profit margin, not just rent, and understand how small rent uplifts can multiply profit. For serviced accommodation, test the experience yourself and tighten service, reviews drive revenue. Adopt the custodian mindset: build assets your children would actually want to inherit.

Shanghai has announced new property rules starting from Thursday. New measures make it is easier for non-locals to buy a home.

Dr. Friday explains why inherited property can receive a step-up in basis, which may reduce future taxes. She cautions that quitclaiming property to children early can be a poor tax decision and mentions the Medicare or Medicaid look-back rules. Transcript G’day, I’m Dr. Friday, president of Dr. Friday’s Tax and Financial Firm. To get more info, go to www.drfriday.com. This is a one-minute moment. Step-up in basis for inherited properties: seems to be a misconception out there of how this works. Because a lot of times I talk to someone and they’re like, oh no, I quitclaim my property to my children, so I knew they would get it. That is not a good tax decision. It may be a mental or physical or some other kind of decision, but you know, there’s a five-year look back from Medicare or Medicaid. Therefore, unless it’s gonna be something that happens after that, you really just want to let them inherit. And you know that also applies if a husband and wife own joint property, half of them dies, the other half can get a step-up. Need help? Call me. You can catch the Dr. Friday Call-in Show live every Saturday afternoon from 2 to 3 p.m. right here on 99.7 WTN.

Property can look straightforward from the outside. Find a deal, add value, refinance, repeat. But anyone who's actually building a business in this market knows it's rarely that simple.In this episode, I sit down with Adriana Cafasso, an investor operating in the North East who's scaling both her own portfolio and a high-volume, end-to-end investment business. She's not watching from the sidelines - she's actively acquiring, refurbishing and structuring HMO and mixed-use projects in a market that's becoming more competitive and more regulated by the month.We talk about how she moved from law into property during lockdown, the early setback that could easily have knocked her out of the game, and what changed in her approach as she moved from “trying to do a deal” to building a proper operation with the right partners and systems around her.This is a practical conversation about execution, decision-making and staying consistent when results don't come overnight.

God told Abraham to "get thee out of thy country" and promised him a legacy that would bless all the families of the earth. But for decades, Abraham and Sarah had no land and no children. How do you keep walking when the promises of God seem impossible? Summary: In this episode, we dive into the heart of the Old Testament: The Abrahamic Covenant. We look at Genesis 12–17 and Abraham 1–2 to see how a "foreigner and a stranger" became the Father of the Faithful. The Search for Greater Happiness: We analyze Abraham's desire for the "blessings of the fathers" and why he sought for his own "place of residence" spiritually and physically. The Three-Part Promise: We break down the core of the covenant—Posterity (seed as the stars), Priesthood (the power to bless), and Property (a land of inheritance). The Name Change: We explore the profound symbolism of Abram becoming Abraham and Sarai becoming Sarah—adding the Hebrew letter "He" (the breath of God) into their very identities. The Symbolism of Circumcision: We discuss the "token" of the covenant and why God requires a physical reminder of our spiritual commitments. Sarah's Role: We look at why Sarah is the "Rock" from which we are hewn and how her faith was just as essential to the covenant as Abraham's. Call-to-Action: Abraham was told to "be thou a blessing." How are you using your covenant privileges to bless those around you today? Let us know in the comments!

In this episode of The Property Nerds, hosts Arjun Paliwal and Jack Fouracre unpack the sweeping changes hitting Australia's lending landscape, what they mean for serious property investors, and how non-bank lenders are entering the void. The duo breaks down why major banks are tightening trust and company lending, following regulatory pressure from the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority, and why longstanding strategies built on "endless borrowing" are rapidly disappearing. They explore how lenders such as Macquarie Bank helped fuel aggressive trust lending in recent years, and why those policies are now being quietly wound back amid heightened scrutiny. Listeners will also gain clarity on how new anti-money laundering rules will impact not just banks and brokers, but also investors, adding layers of administration, cost, and complexity to trust lending structures. Paliwal and Fouracre then explain why non-bank lenders are stepping in as major banks retreat, how brokers now facilitate close to 80 per cent of Australian lending, and why having an investment-specialist finance team has become non-negotiable for portfolio builders.

Simon identifies a critical trap where investors replace their salary with rental income but fail to build a cash buffer for unexpected expenses like property light refurbs or tenant turnovers. He argues that many investors are technically wealthy through equity but remain broke due to poor cash flow, emphasising that the current market landscape of 2026 presents a rare buying opportunity for those willing to restructure their portfolios KEY TAKEAWAYS Investors must maintain a reserve to cover void periods and maintenance; without it, a single vacancy can trigger a downward financial spiral. Before buying new properties, investors should raise rents to market value and consider converting standard lets into HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation) or Service Accommodation (SA) for higher cash flow. While increasing borrowing reduces the cash flow of a specific property, the released equity can be used to acquire new, higher-performing assets that more than compensate for the increased interest costs. Mitigating Risk with Insurance: With legislative changes like the Renters' Rights Act making evictions more difficult, using rent guarantee insurance is vital to ensure mortgages are covered even if a tenant stops paying. BEST MOMENTS "I meet a lot of property investors who, in theory, should be well off, but they're broke. Why are property investors broke? Because sometimes they have assets, they have equity, but they don't have enough cash flow." "The penalties you might pay [to remortgage] might be insignificant compared to the discounts you could receive on new properties you're buying." "I absolutely guarantee you, as long as you know what you're doing, it's a fantastic time to be buying property... probably one of the best buying opportunities I've seen in the past 30 years." "It's not just about the money, but life's a lot easier when you have a really good cash flow coming in."

Commercial property often gets presented as the next step after residential investing — higher rent, longer leases and tenants covering the outgoings. But is it actually the right move for most investors?In this episode Frank sits down with Anthony, a commercial finance broker, to unpack how commercial lending really works, how banks assess deals, and why the tenant matters more than the building itself.We talk about the common mistakes investors make when moving into commercial property, the borrowing challenges people don't expect, and the situations where commercial property can genuinely make sense.If you've ever wondered whether you should buy a warehouse, office or shopfront instead of another house, this episode will help you understand where commercial fits into a property investing journey.• How commercial loans differ from residential• Why banks focus heavily on the lease and tenant• The risks of vacancy and oversupply• Who commercial property suits (and who it doesn't)• When investors should consider making the moveWhat we cover

Two overlooked “levers” helped Kent Ritter scale past 1,000 multifamily units—and most operators have never even thought of them. One helps you keep tenant turnover low, slashes your CapEx costs by 30%, and keeps your cash flow flowing. The other allows you to build properties for cheaper, do less capital raising, and get on the local government's good side. Even if you've heard of these tactics, you probably haven't tried them. Today, Kent Ritter from Hudson Investing discusses two strategies most operators overlook: in-house property management and public-private partnerships (P3s). First, Kent gives one of the best arguments for self-managing your assets: it keeps tenants for longer, creates more durable cash flow, and has massively lowered his expenses. Plus, he shares a new AI tool that is speeding up leasing and keeping his staff costs near rock-bottom. Next, the $2,000,000+ benefit Kent's team is receiving from public-private partnerships (P3). These P3 partnerships allow him to build with less pushback, raise capital faster (and easier), and bring positive change to the cities he's investing in, further pushing up his property values.

Inflation has eased… except where it hasn't. Interest rates were meant to be heading down… until they weren't. And suddenly everyone's blaming government spending.   But is Canberra really the culprit - or is that just a convenient headline?   Today, Ken Raiss and I unpack what's actually driving Australia's sticky inflation, why the RBA is worried about "capacity constraints", and what policy makers could do that would genuinely take pressure off prices - without smashing households and without sabotaging the property market.   Now you've probably read about inflation and heard about it a hundred times by now, but having been involved in financial markets and property for over 50 years each, Ken and I are going to bring you a different perspective today and some new ways of thinking about things.   So please bear with us because I hope we're going to bring you some clarity and direction.   Takeaways  Inflation is the increase in prices over time. Interest rates are used to control inflation but can have negative effects on consumers. Government spending can contribute to inflation, but it's not the sole cause. Capacity constraints in the economy affect productivity and inflation rates. CPI may not accurately reflect the real cost of living for households. Investors should focus on A-grade assets in strong demand areas. Deficits can be acceptable if they lead to productive investments. Consumer confidence is crucial for economic stability. Strategic planning is essential for navigating the property market. Understanding economic fundamentals is key to making informed investment decisions.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of What Every Property Investor Needs To Know About Finance, Tax And The Law ·        Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report – What's ahead for property for 2026 and beyond.   Michael Yardney   Get the team at Metropole Wealth Advisory to create a Strategic Wealth plan for your needs.

In this episode of Policy Chats, host Dori Pham sits down with Professor Wei Guo, Associate Professor at the UCR School of Public Policy, to discuss how climate related disasters strain state and local public finances and what that means for equity and long term resilience.Professor Guo explains why disaster recovery spending often remains elevated for years, while revenue effects especially property tax revenue vary depending on institutional structures. Using California as a case study, she highlights how Proposition 13 can produce unexpected fiscal outcomes after wildfires through property reassessments tied to housing turnover.The conversation also examines how reimbursement based disaster aid can unintentionally discourage climate adaptation, reinforce rebuilding in high risk areas, and deepen inequalities for marginalized communities with limited upfront fiscal capacity. The episode concludes with a call to move from reactive recovery toward proactive climate adaptation, with stronger leadership and investment from state and federal governments.

In this episode of the VRMA Arrival Podcast, Pierre Camille Hamana, CEO and founder of Hospitable, joins us to unpack key findings from Hospitable's newly released 2026 STR Industry Report and what they signal for hosts and professional property managers.Hamana explains why 2025 was a revealing year for the industry, marked by “stacked pressures” that included rising operating costs, softening demand, staffing challenges, and economic uncertainty. Rather than facing isolated problems, many operators experienced multiple constraints at once, forcing a renewed focus on discipline, efficiency, and day-to-day execution.Despite those headwinds, confidence remains intact. Nearly 60% of surveyed hosts and property managers plan to expand their portfolios in 2026, reflecting long-term belief in short-term rentals as a durable asset class. The challenge, Hamana says, isn't demand for the product itself, but whether operators have the systems in place to deliver consistent performance and reliable financial returns.A major theme of the conversation is the evolving role of technology. Property management software is no longer just about channel distribution; it's becoming an operating system for housing—centralizing pricing, guest communication, team coordination, device control, and owner reporting. Automation, AI, dynamic pricing, and smart devices are now core infrastructure, not optional add-ons.Hamana also shares practical advice for mid-size property managers planning for the year ahead, emphasizing operational efficiency over growth at all costs. Without strong systems, he warns, expansion only amplifies existing weaknesses. The operators best positioned for 2026 will be those who reduce variable costs, automate aggressively, maintain service quality at scale, and make their value to owners visible through clear reporting and performance metrics.

"Every minute I spend down here is ten times better for my wellbeing." In 2018, Emily Power was the ultimate poster girl for the "Great Australian Dream." She famously lived on pocket money to save for her first apartment and became a leading voice in Melbourne real estate. But in 2026, the property queen has traded high-rise living for a custom-built Isuzu NPS motorhome. Joining us from the stunning Limestone Coast in South Australia, Emily shares what it’s really like to mark 12 months on the road with no return date. This isn't just a holiday; it's a "rough and ready" adventure involving gravel pits, custom-built composite chassis, and the steep learning curve of house-sitting a cattle farm (hint: don't lose the cows on Day 1). Whether you’re a "grey nomad" or a millennial dreamer, Emily’s story is a powerful reminder that there is more to the Australian experience than what you see from behind a city desk. to John Stanley live on air from 8pm Monday to Thursday and 7pm on Friday on 2GB Sydney and 4BC BrisbaneSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're breaking down a real-world 4-night trip for a family of four driving to Disney and compare a Value Resort stay to an off-property hotel. We look at lodging costs, transportation, theme park parking, groceries, hidden fees, and the true price difference when everything is added up. But cost is only part of the story. We also debate each side head-to-head in categories like transportation convenience, added perks, space and comfort, stress level, food flexibility, and — of course — the Disney bubble. Is staying on property really worth the extra money? Is off property actually cheaper once you factor everything in? And at what point does convenience outweigh savings? If you're planning a Walt Disney World vacation and trying to decide where to stay — this episode is for you.

Zohran Mamdani's plan to fix New York City's budget crisis involves pressuring Albany to soak the rich with higher income taxes on millionaires and bigger levies on profitable corporations, claiming it's the "fairest" way to avoid hurting working families. If state leaders refuse, he threatens a massive 9.5% city property tax hike as a backup, which would slam homeowners, co-op residents, and middle-class New Yorkers. This ultimatum-style approach is designed to force higher taxes on the wealthy by holding property owners hostage.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dissect Stephen Colbert and James Talarico apparently lying about why their interview was not aired on CBS, Zohran Mamdani threatening to soak all property owners in New York City with much higher taxes, and a House Republican sounding the alarm about how soon Social Security is going to implode.First, they follow up on Tuesday's martini about why Colbert's interview with Talarico did not air on CBS. Colbert and Talarico claim President Trump's FCC forced the network to spike the segment, but CBS officials now say they never suggested pulling the interview. Jim is fuming at Colbert and Talarico.Next, they turn to New York City, where New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is threatening massive property tax increases if state lawmakers refuse to approve higher taxes on “the rich” and corporations. Jim and Greg point out how painfully predictable this was despite Mamdani's "affordability" campaign.Finally, they spotlight Rep. David Schweikert's warning that Social Security will implode in less than seven years if no action is taken. Jim and Greg not only lament the lack of will in either party to address the problem, but they also remind us how much more solvent the program would be if we started investing some of Social Security in the markets 20 years ago when President George W. Bush was pushing for it.Please visit our great sponsors:Help protect your family with life insurance through Ethos.

Jason Hartman and Michael Zuber reflect on the success of a recent investment conference and the enduring value of in-person networking. Hartman emphasizes that successful investing requires emotional discipline, noting that many people lose wealth by selling assets at the wrong time due to personal crises or market fear. He uses an iceberg metaphor to explain that while many focus only on cash flow, the most significant financial benefits of real estate often remain hidden "below the water line" in the form of tax advantages and inflation-induced debt destruction. The pair also critiques "crash bros" who incorrectly predicted a housing market collapse, arguing instead that a persistent housing shortage continues to support property values. To conclude, Hartman invites listeners to his upcoming Empowered Investor Live event in California, which will feature prominent financial speakers and data-driven insights. This dialogue reinforces their shared philosophy that income property remains the most historically proven and tax-favored asset class available to investors. #RealEstateInvesting #IncomeProperty #OneRentalAtATime #EmpoweredInvestorLive #JasonHartman #MichaelZuber #FinancialFreedom #TaxBenefits #1031Exchange #HousingMarket #InflationInducedDebtDestruction #WealthBuilding #InvestmentPsychology #PassiveIncome #RealEstateCycles #ChartDaddy #HousingShortage #LongTermInvesting #CashFlow #RealEstateEvents   Key Takeaways: 0:00 Jason's "Trophy" from Michael Zuber's ORAAT event  3:49 The Behavior Gap 7:54 The ICEBERG and the "Dead" investor 11:33 Join us at the https://EmpoweredInvestorLive.com/ conference 15:09 The overall theme   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com
