Throughout the past three or four years of government discussion but little action on the housing shortage and the rental crisis, the people who provide the homes that people rent in Australia have never been part of the discussion.   Many of our state and territory governments have held inquiries, summits and other talkfests inviting many of the usual suspects but landlords have never been invited to the table.   In one state, at least, that has now changed. The new state government in Queensland is showing increasing signs of recognising that investor owners of residential properties are a core part of the solution to the chronic rental shortage crisis.   The organisation that represents investment property owners, the Property Investment Professionals of Australia (or PIPA) recently held a business breakfast seminar in Brisbane and State Treasurer David Janetski accepted an invitation to attend and answer questions.   That in itself was a step forward for investors but also for tenants who rely on investors to provide rental homes – keeping in mind that well over 90% of all homes rented in Australia are provided by mum-and-dad investors, with government and big business providing very little.   Janetski pointed out that he and his colleagues were instrumental in preventing the previous Labor Government from implementing the nation's most draconian and onerous land tax.   And having taken office as the new Queensland government had already abolished stamp duty for first home buyers building new homes.   He told the PIPA audience: “It's important for the state to recognise the contribution that the property industry makes.”   He undertook to connect PIPA with Housing Minister Sam O'Connor to hear the industry's concerns about the imbalance between the rights of tenants and the rights of the property owners.   Janetski also pointed out that the new Government had reinstated the Property Consultative Committee, which had been axed by the previous government.    He said: “We are listening” and commented that the language from the previous government about investors and property managers was disrespectful.   PIPA president Nicola McDougall said: “That's all we are asking for – a seat at the table.”   During the event's Q & A, I pointed out to the State Treasurer that the average cost of the new house and land package was now approaching $1 million and over 40% of that was taxes fees and charges at the three levels of government. I asked what could be done about that.   He said he understood the concerns but he also had to balance the budget, against a background of a blowout in the cost of infrastructure projects, smaller GST revenue and reduced coal royalties.    The inference is that, while sympathetic, the Queensland Government is unlikely to take any major measures to relieve the tax burdens that are preventing the housing industry from fixing the housing crisis.   But I would ask the Queensland Treasurer to consider this: what would happen if Queensland was the only state to eliminate a major chunk of the taxation component of building new homes? What if building a new home became $200,000 cheaper in Queensland than everywhere else?   What would that do to the state economy and to the Queensland State Budget? And what would it do to home ownership in the Sunshine State?

It's the beginning of a New Year, so I'd like to take a step back to reflect on the rollercoaster that was 2024 in the housing markets and gear up for what promises to be an equally fascinating 2025.   Today, I'm joined by Nicola McDougall, chair of PIPA – the Property Investment Professionals of Australia, who has her finger on the pulse of what's happening in our housing markets as well as a good understanding of all the various players in the property industry.  Nicola and I discuss the unexpected developments in the Australian property markets throughout 2024, the implications of interest rates on my investment strategies, and the ongoing rental crisis.   We also explore the challenges we face as property investors and the impact of government policies on the market, and we share our predictions for the property market in 2025.    Takeaways  2024 was a year of unexpected market conditions but general market resilience.  Interest rates are a significant factor affecting property investment and will create a year of 2 halves in 2025.  Melbourne's property market has struggled due to various factors.  Government policies have made it more challenging for investors.  Investors play a crucial role in providing rental accommodation to one third of Australians.  The rental crisis has been exacerbated by a reduction in investors.  A national outlook is essential for successful property investment as market conditions vary significantly across different regions.  Predictions for 2025 suggest continued market fragmentation.  Understanding market cycles is key to navigating property investment.  Chapters  00:00 2024 Property Market Overview  05:32 Melbourne's Market Struggles  11:10 Challenges for Property Investors  16:13 The Rental Crisis  18:42 New Chapter  35:00 2025: A Year of Opportunity in Property  36:22 Strategic Investing: Long-Term Perspectives and Benefits  37:10 The Spiral Path of Progress  38:08 Understanding the Law of Reverse Effort  Links and Resources:   Michael Yardney   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us  Nicola McDougall – Chair Property Investment Professionals of Australia  Get a bundle of free reports and eBooks – www.PodcastBonus.com.au    Also, please subscribe to my new podcast Demographics Decoded with Simon Kuestenmacher – just look for  Demographics Decoded wherever you are listening to this podcast and subscribe so each week we can unveil the trends shaping your future.  Shownotes plus more here: Australia's Housing Markets in 2025: Opportunities, Risks, and Surprises

If I asked you to nominate the market which had recorded the best long-term capital growth in Australia, what would your answer be?   Sydney, the capital city with the nation's highest property prices?   Perth, which has had a booming property market lately and has led the nation on price growth for past couple of years?   Brisbane, which always attracts strong demand from buyers of all sorts?   Or perhaps Regional Queensland, which benefits from internal migrants moving from others parts of Australia and from investors seeking affordability and strong yields?   The correct answer is none of the above.   The market jurisdiction which has led the nation on long-term capital growth is: Regional Tasmania.   This is the outcome of research conducted by the Property Investment Professionals of Australia (PIPA), which analysed Australian Bureau of Statistics' data on established median dwelling values over 20 years - from June 2004 to June 2024.   The top location recorded growth of 233% while the worst grew 100% over the two-decade period.    In comparison, over the past 20 years, the stock market (S&P/ASX 200) increased by 120%, according to investing.com.   In general terms, the best capital growth has been smaller capital cities or more affordable regions.    The top result was “the Rest of Tasmania”, which means Tasmania outside of the capital city Hobart or Regional Tasmania - where its established median house price rose from $169,000 20 years ago to $449,000 in mid-2024.    The best capital city performers were also some of our nation's most affordable throughout the period with Adelaide, Hobart, and Brisbane taking out the top three city rankings.    PIPA comments that property markets are not linear – rather, price growth occurs at varying points over time. Hobart, for example, has experienced a softening of prices over the past few years, but its house price have almost tripled since 2004 – up 193% in 20 years.   Adelaide and Brisbane have both had very strong markets in the past two years but both had long periods of flat-lining prices throughout the past two decades.   It reflects the reality that real estate consumers get the best results through long-term ownership and PIPA Chair Nicola McDougall says property owners should always adopt a long-term mindset.   But PIPA research indicates many investors don't follow that philosophy.   PIPA's 2024 Annual Investor Sentiment Survey found that 61% of investors who sold in the past year had a holding period of less than 10 years – and 17% of those investors who sold indicated they had owned the property for less than three years.    So the rankings from the PIPA research on capital growth over the past 20 years are: 1 Regional Tasmania 2 Adelaide 3 Hobart 4 Brisbane 5 Regional Victoria 6 Perth   Sydney ranked seventh and Melbourne 11th, once again disproving one of the real estate's greatest myths, that you get the best capital growth in the biggest cities – and that prime out-performs affordable.   And the worst performers were Darwin and “the Rest of Northern Territory” – but even the remote markets of the NT achieved a doubling of property values over 20 years.

Rental Crisis Deepens

How long could we reasonably expect governments to take, to sort out a problem like the rental shortage? I ask the question because we have had the problem of a shortage of options for tenants in Australia – and the consequent steep rises in rents - for a very long time. And it keeps getting worse, not better. The latest data from SQM Research shows that, nationally, the vacancy rate got a little worse last month, dropping from 1.3% in August to 1.2% in September.  Three of our capital cities have vacancies well below 1%. And in six of the eight capital cities, vacancies stayed the same or got smaller in September. In only two cities was there a slight improvement.  But the key piece of information is the longevity of this rental shortage crisis.  Australia has had vacancies below 1.5% for close to three years now. It's generally considered that a balanced rental market – one in which there is ample supply of homes for tenants to choose from and rents are stable – is one where vacancies are at least 3%. The data from SQM Research shows that Australia has not had a vacancy rate as high as 3% at any time in the past 20 years. The closest we came was 2.9% in April 2020 after the onset of Covid caused major disruption to property markets.  Since then, the national vacancy rate has dropped sharply, reaching 1.2% in March 2022 – and it has hovered between 1% and 1.3% for the past two and a half years. According to SQM Research, a further 1,700 rental properties disappeared from Australia's rental market in September – at a time when the nation's population has surpassed 27 million. The SQM report said: “The total number of rental vacancies now stands at 37,932 residential properties, a decrease from 39,665 in August.”  There are clear reasons why we have had this steady decline in the number of properties available for rental, a shortage which has caused rents to rise and rise. Mostly, those reasons relate to the decisions of politicians, particularly state politicians, in making life increasingly onerous for the investors who provide over 90% of the homes that people rent in Australia. State and territory governments have increased taxes on investors and have changed the rental laws in ways that have eroded the rights of the owners. This has led to a reduction in the number of homes available for rental. In Victoria, the state with the most onerous conditions for investors including big tax increases, the number of rental properties in the state has fallen by 22,000 so far this year, as the investor exodus gathered momentum on the back of anti-landlord legislation. That's according to new data from the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing. And its data supports a trend identified in the latest Investor Sentiment Survey published by PIPA – the Property Investment Professionals of Australia (PIPA). The survey described a "sell-off of investment properties around the nation" that has "continuing unabated" and "fuelling fears of an even tighter rental market". But the problem is most acute in Victoria. PIPA Victoria board director Cate Bakos says legislative changes and increased taxes are driving investors from the state. A new land tax regime, minimum rental property standards legislation, and policies that are seen as overly tenant-friendly have caused many investors to sell up in Victoria. Nicola McDougall, the Chair of PIPA says: “This is predominantly due to its plethora of anti-investor rental reforms, as well its new land tax regime that is set to cost investors billions of dollars over the years ahead.” PIPA's annual investor sentiment survey found Victoria was regarded as the “least accommodating” state or territory for property investors in the nation, with 22% of survey respondents indicating they had sold at least one dwelling in Melbourne in the last year. As a consequence, rental availability has fallen and rents have risen. Data from Domain shows that the vast majority of Melbourne suburbs recorded rent rises this year, continuing a trend that has extended over several years. According to the Domain rent report for the September quarter, the median house rent in Melbourne at the start of 2022 was $440 a week. Now it's $580 a week. The median unit rent was $375 a week in January 2022 and now it's $550 a week. That's an increase of almost 50% in less than three years. But the problems keep getting worse, with NSW being the latest state government to pass new laws detrimental to landlords. REINSW CEO Tim McKibbin says the lessons for the NSW Government are crystal clear but have been disregarded. He says: “The removal of landlords' rights under the guise of populist rental reforms has had a clear negative impact on renters elsewhere. “The rental reforms by the NSW Government will result in more investors selling up or opting for a short-term accommodation strategy, both of which remove more properties from the private rental market. “This is already happening and it's happening at a time when the NSW population is increasing by over 15,000 people each month. The rental market is in crisis and we need solutions, not reforms that we know from recent experience will make the problem worse.” And that pretty much sums up the seriousness and absurdity of this ongoing issue. Australia has had a rental shortage crisis for several years but the only policies implemented by state governments have made a bad situation even worse.

For years, the dream of homeownership has seemed increasingly out of reach for many. But what of those who can't even afford to rent Social Housing? Waiting lists are overflowing and the number of available dwellings just needs to catch up. Today Nicola McDougall, chair of the Property Investment Professionals of Australia (PIPA) joins me and passionately advocates for a fair and more effective approach to social housing. You see, despite the government raking in billions of dollars from property taxes each year, our social housing stock has remained stagnant, and the number of people in desperate need of housing continues to rise. Now, I'm not talking about affordable housing. We'll explain the differences, but unfortunately, private investors are often being blamed for this crisis. That's not the case. Nicola will help unpack the reasons behind the housing shortfall, discuss some of the impacts of government policies, and we're going to explore what needs to be done to provide adequate housing for all Australians. Understanding Social Housing and Private Investment in Australia In today's conversation with Nicola McDougall, we dive into the intricacies of Australia's social housing crisis and its impact on private investors. We discuss statistics, government policies, and strategic investment opportunities in a challenging market. ●        The differences between social housing (government-provided for the most vulnerable) and affordable housing (making renting and purchasing more accessible) ●        175,000 households on social housing waiting lists, stagnant social housing stock despite 33% population growth ●        Decline in social housing stock in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, and Western Australia ●        The role of private investors in providing rental housing ●        Critique of government policies, including ineffective housing initiatives and the financial burdens placed on private investors o   Anti-investor legislation, such as increased property taxes and rental reforms, and their exacerbating effects on the housing crisis ●        Potential government incentives to encourage private investment in rental housing, including adjustments to capital gains tax ●        Challenges faced by highly leveraged property investors in a high-interest-rate environment ●        Opportunities in Melbourne's low vacancy rates and skyrocketing rents ●        Importance of portfolio diversification across different states and working with wealth strategists to outperform the market ●        Hidden taxes in the New South Wales budget, such as the shift of emergency service levies from insurance companies to property owners Whether you're a seasoned property investor or you're just concerned about Australia's housing future, this episode offers valuable perspectives and actionable advice.

And if they do offer discounted rents to essential workers, and I'm not against the idea, I'm just saying the numbers don't work – where's the profit going to come from?”-- Michael Yardney “But here's the problem.

It has become more and more challenging for Australians to find a rental home since the pandemic started. Availability has plunged and rental rates have skyrocketed by as much as 33% in capital cities. Some locations show the vacancy rates moving up slightly in recent months, but the rental market is far from balanced, and this results in a headache for many tenants. Last year, there was a Senate inquiry on the rental crisis.

A few weeks ago property investors from around Australia and New Zealand gathered to swap ideas, network, and listen to some very knowledgeable speakers share their experiences at the inaugural PIPA Conference.  One of those keynote speakers was the previous Property Investment Professionals of Australia or PIPA Chair and continuing board member Peter Koulizos - also known as the Property Professor - who took everyone on a property and location masterclass. Our own Bushy Martin was the emcee at the event and was so impressed with the information Peter went through that he invited Peter to join him in a full Realty Talk show and today is the day.  So get your note paper and pen out because you are about to hear some very powerful insights.

I recently attended the annual national conference in Sydney of PIPA, the Property Investment Professionals of Australia. In many ways this is the most important organisation in Australia in terms of finding solutions to one of the nation's most pressing problems, the rental shortage. PIPA comprises people who deal every day with the people who supply over 90% of the homes that people rent in Australia – private investors. They're often referred to as mum-and-dad investors, because most of the people who own investment real estate are ordinary households on average incomes who own just one investment property. This very important cohort provides the product which is in short supply and it would make sense for politicians to encourage them in any way possible to solve the shortage crisis. But the opposite is happening. Private investors are being massively discouraged and they're leaving the real estate market in droves, as the new PIPA survey graphically illustrates. And that, in essence, is why we have the rental shortage crisis.

We start this week with an alert from Ben Kingsley, Chair of the Property Investors Council of Australia.   We will play Ben's full video message to you in the show today because what he talks about - the Green's proposal for 2.2 million small business property owners to subsidise their tenants' rents, with a 2 year freeze on rental increases - promises a very real financial burden on all the Mum and Dad property investors in Australia. We encourage you to pay heed to Ben's message and, after you have heard the facts, use this link to send a message to the policy makers.  Also today Nicola McDougall from the Property Investment Professionals of Australia adds her thoughts about the Green's rental freeze proposal and how it is likely to have the reverse effect - a message every renter will need to hear.   Raymond Hempstead joins Bushy with some insight about purchasing property through a Self Managed Super Scheme and Scott Aggett joins Bushy with some excellent advice about how you can overcome the hurdles to accumulate a property portfolio that will attain and sustain your lifestyle goals. Provide your feedback to the Inquiry before Sept 1 Tell them how much your costs have gone up and how much you have increased your tenants rent.  Property investors are NOT price gouging tenants.  They are trying to cover a portion of their increased costs.

If you want to know what it takes to be a successful property investor, you can’t miss this interview with Paul Glossop. Paul really walks his talk. In many respects Paul is very much like my long lost much younger brother – we have both had similar interests like being fitness and architecture, and we’ve both followed similar paths to help us both enjoy a great lifestyle from our property investments. This led us both to help others to do the same through books and businesses – the only difference being that Paul focusses on helping you buy property as a buyer’s agent while we focus on finance structure and property strategy.  But it hasn’t always been that way for Paul – a bit more than a decade or so ago he was broke, out of a job and in debt. Now, he’s basically retired in his mid 30s and since that time has acquired 17 properties worth almost $9 million. And like me, Paul also believes you and anyone can do the same if you apply the same mindset. He took a calculated risk when he walked away from a successful corporate career to start something that he was really passionate about: helping others change their lives through investing in property. And the good news for you is that Paul’s approach is actually quite simple and straightforward. Like me, He believes the mark of financial success isn’t about getting bigger, better, faster or more. To him, success is freedom – freedom to spend more time with his family, giving to others, and of course, more time to go surfing! And as an avid surfer, Paul knows that property investing is like catching the perfect wave break. It is what led to the title of his highly acclaimed, best selling book: A Surfer's Guide to Property Investing: How to Achieve your Financial Goals and Lead your Best Life through Investing in Property He’s now Managing Director of his own buyer’s agency Pure Property Investment, and a board member of PIPA – the Property Investment Professionals of Australia. Over the last 10 years Paul has been involved in more than 500 property transactions for clients and has seen the right and wrong way to surf the property wave. During this great chat that is jam packed with investment gold, you’ll learn: What mindset you need to be successful The three critical keys to be successful in property investment in order to achieve your lifestyle goals The advantages of building and developing property The massive benefits of rentvesting And why you should have a property focussed accountant and a professional buyer’s agent on your team, and how to pick a good one. Now, like our view of long term successful investing, if you hang in till the end of this episode to reap the rewards, Paul’s made a very generous offer for a limited number of listeners and I’m going to double down on his offer by also gifting you a copy of my second book ‘Get Invested’.

Property Insiders - Why Should Expats Invest in Australia? (with Dave Petrevski)

Performance Property Data

“If you are looking at heading over there, if there’s any negotiations in your contract talks, US dollar is always the main one to go for.” The Daves (Misters McMillan and Petrevski) are back with another chat about the investment options for Australian expats. However this time the tables have turned somewhat, with Petrevski taking the lead in asking the questions. And the biggest question of all is “why should expats invest back in Australia?” Both the Daves believe in the importance of educating Australians who are heading overseas about what their options are in regards to investments. This is why they both make regular trips to expat hotspots to share their knowledge. And they do this the core understanding that the overwhelming majority of expats, at some time, will return. Whether an expat should invest back in Australia will largely depend on their answer to the question “where do they eventually want to buy their principal place of residence?” Another important question is “where are they going to send their kids to school?” Wealth building and investing should occur in the same market as the answers to these questions. Dave McMillan tells a story of a recent client - a pilot based in Hong Kong - who plans on returning to Australia in ten years time. When he does so, he wants to live in a $3million property in Balwyn, where he can send his daughters to a local high school. At the moment, however, Performance Property Advisory sees the Balwyn market about to head into a price correction, so there is no point in investing there. So what they will do for this client is purchase one property every one or two years in markets ready for growth. Once Balwyn is at the bottom of the cycle - in about 5 or so years time - they will buy into the area so that he has an investment in the local market he wants to live in. When he returns in ten years, he will have grown a sizeable deposit for the dream $3million house. Such a strategy is wise, as a lot of expats are building their wealth, but are not wealthy yet. What they need is a wealth building strategy that is going to set them in good stead for when they get home. For expats living in the middle of nowhere, one big thing the banks look at is currency and currency risk. Dave Petrevski has found a lot of reticence in the banks to fund many of the smaller currencies. Being paid in US dollars or GB pounds is the best, and it would wise to avoid Chinese yuan in the present climate.  About David’s guest, David Petrevski With over 17 years of experience in the financial services industry, David possesses not only industry knowledge and experience, but also a desire to help people achieve their long term personal and financial goals.  As founding partner of Australian Finance Advocates, David’s role is to help build relationships within the financial services industry that add value to their team of mortgage consultants and in turn provide a flow on effect of benefits to their customers.

“Trying to sell a single-fronted cottage in North Adelaide without a carpark…the market sees it as an issue.” Real estate agent, Marina Ormsby, is David’s guest for this edition of Property Insiders. They chat about the intricacies of the Adelaide real estate market and give an update of where it is at. Marina has been in the industry for 17 years, but got her start in commercial real estate. She then took a residential course and bought into a franchise group. She tells David that residential sales are more exciting due to including emotion. Commercial sales, on the other hand, is more about numbers and business. Marina tells David that Adelaide is a bit like a small town where local buyers are picky about what they want to invest in. Properties that often don’t see much growth in the city are those with no car parking or those near certain buildings, such as churches. Interstate buyers will come to buy those assets, however, because Marina believes they are less picky. The locals in Adelaide are very conservative, and don’t like to compromise on properties. They still feel like they can have it all - they can live close to the city for a price comparably a lot less than Melbourne or Sydney. Marina suggests that everyone wants the same thing: character homes in a great street scape. David and Marina chat about how often these character homes have crack and other structural wear-and-tear, but this does not act as a deterrent for local buyers. Interstate buyers, however, will often see these homes as money pits, and will avoid them. David admits that interstate buyers will often not consider what the local market wants. They then talk about pricing strategies for Adelaide sales, both in the auction, and private-treaty market. Marina says that buyers will often expect a higher reserve than advertised in the case of an auction, but will expect the advertised price in a private-treaty. Marina doesn’t sell too many units, but has noticed a big influx of stock, which she believes will lead to an oversupply. She doesn’t imagine that in five years they will be worth what they are now. Despite this, Adelaide has some great properties around the inner fringes of the city, and the market is strong at all price points, except for assets $2M plus, which is being impacted by banks tightening their lending up. Most buyers in Adelaide are in the $700K to $1M market. David notes that Adelaide prices are almost half of what they are in Melbourne for something comparable. The market will continue to perform well, because if remains affordable.  They close the chat by discussing the popularity of Adelaide auctions, which see quite a number of people coming through a property, with a significant number of bidders. About David’s guest, Marina Ormsby Marina Ormsby has enjoyed a stellar career in real estate through a combination of hard work and a commitment to excellence. She is currently a Property Consultant with Klemich Real Estate, but has been in the industry for the better part of the last 17 years. With a clear focus on customer service, Marina has established solid relationships with both vendors and buyers and over time, has become a trusted friend to many who have relied upon her blend of enthusiasm and experience. Market knowledge and superior negotiation skills are the cornerstone of Marina’s success and she has built her reputation on achieving record prices with below average days on market.

“Once you add all these allowances to the base wage, that’s what really gives the expats buying power. And that’s why it’s such a great opportunity for them at the minute.” David McMillan welcomes his namesake, old school friend and football teammate, David Petrevski onto the show. The two Davids have been teaming up recently bringing sound advice and strategy to Australian expats, and here they chat about this often overlooked and neglected area of the financial service industry. Acknowledging that we are currently in a very difficult time for financing, David P. states that he is interested in expats because he has a genuine interest in helping people out and often likes to get into things when they are challenging. He is also happy to spend more time overseas. With all the Australian banks closing down a lot of their face-to-face operations overseas, there are many opportunities for financiers, and the two Davids discuss their partnership in this space. Few people are currently choosing to work in expat funding due to its difficulty, although David P. says that it was always so. They discuss the practice of income “shading”, whereby banks drastically reduce an expat’s loan-servicing income because of currency conversion. However, high wages and other allowances mean that expats still often have a lot to invest with. One significant change is how banks have become more risk-averse in relation to loan-to-value ratio (LVR) with lending. This simply means that expats need to have access to more cash in order to qualify for lending. David P. argues that expats considering investing back home should not be discouraged by the apparent obstacles. With enough of a cash deposit, and the right advisor in their corner, financing is still available and affordable.

The Property Pineapple - Tomas Turkayoglu

“So it’s hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst.” Sharon’s guest today on The Property Pineapple is her colleague at Performance Property Advisory, Acquisitions Manager, Tomas Turkayoglu. Tomas studied Construction straight after school, and then switched his major to Property. Despite his youth - Tomas is only 26 years old - he has a wealth of knowledge and experience in purchasing investment properties. Earlier this year, Tomas bought his first property in Ballarat. Not originally sold on the idea of buying in Ballarat, he was swayed by the research. In the end it came down to affordability and potential for strong rental yields. He was keen on a house that would be appealing to renting families, as well as being a nice character home, with a good land component, that was close to public transport. In addition to this, regional areas are attractive for investors in the current climate, as they offer affordability when the cities have reached their peak. They can provide a stepping stone to a larger asset in the city, while appreciating your savings at a greater return than a bank would. Tomas speaks about his long-term goals, which is essentially building wealth. He is confident in following the research when purchasing properties, and wishes to add as many to his portfolio as he can. To help with achieving this goal, Tomas has made the decision to live at home with his parents. This has been a sacrifice, but he still manages to have a good social life. He is in good company too, with many of his friends also in the property investment market. Tomas lays down three tips for people who might be in a similar position to him. He advises people to make realistic and smart decisions. This involves not drastically changing your lifestyle as this might mean not being able to commit to such sacrifices long-term. Finally, and most importantly, stick to a manageable plan. Tomas and Sharon chat about the importance of having a cash buffer. Tomas says that his cash buffer is there for security, and he acknowledges that old homes will need maintenance and so having some cash for expenses is necessary. The cash buffer is also good for covering any shortfalls that may occur. It’s about hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst. Sharon asks Tomas about the due diligence he performed on his property before he bought it. The main thing was to have in mind the absolute top purchase price he was prepared to go after. Next, came the building and pest inspection. Thanks to this, he knew the house wouldn’t need any immediate works, but that in five years it would probably need a new roof. This allows him to plan into the future and manage his cash flow. Tomas’ risk management is mostly about choosing an asset in an established suburb, as well as diversifying his investments. Now that he has purchased in Ballarat, he will soon look to purchasing another in a different, underperforming market. Through increasing his asset base, he hopes to minimise his investment risks. He says that one of his long-term goals is to have a passive income, and Sharon pushes him to explain what a passive income is. Sharon mentions the statistic that 70% of investors only own one asset. Tomas says that a lot of this might come down to the quality of that asset. People may purchase at the wrong point in the cycle, so that they don’t realise a lot of the growth, and they’re unable to take advantage of quickly leveraging the asset to purchase another. To Tomas, a quality asset is one that is a desirable suburb near a good education district, health services, amenities, the character of the area, and its proximity to public transport. Tomas suggests investors need to think about the end point of the investment: that one day, someone will need to buy the asset, so people need to purchase a property that people will want to buy. Tomas’ final tip is to reiterate one of his tips from before: choose a strategy that is manageable and stick to it.

“The value in real estate is in land. You’re far better off investing in a property that has a decent land component.” Good friend of the show, Peter Koulizos, calls in from Adelaide for a chat with David about his bestselling book, Top Australian Suburbs. It’s been a decade since it was first published, but the information it holds still remains relevant. Particularly, the lowdown on what makes a suburb ideal for investing.  There are 107 suburbs in Peter’s book, all of them chosen because of their value and the prediction that they would perform better than the average suburb in that particular capital city. The common factor - existing in the vast majority of suburbs - was gentrification. When gentrification wasn’t present, suburbs were most likely to be benefiting from urban renewal. Peter will be evaluating the suburbs in his book later in the year, but preliminary research has revealed he has been very accurate with his predictions.   About your host, David McMillan During his 16 years in the property industry David has worked as a property valuer and property adviser to private clients, financial planners, accountants, finance brokers, major banks and governments.

“We’ve been quite hands-on with everything we’ve done…” David sits down with his colleague and namesake, David Robbins (Senior Acquisitions Consultant - Performance Property Advisory), to discuss his background, investing experience, and the benefit he can add to his clients portfolios and wealth creation. Despite doing a valuation course at university, David pursued his first love of motorcycle racing and eventually found himself the proud owner of a motorcycle retail store. With the strength of the internet growing, and an unkind Australian dollar, the store had a difficult time finding customers and they shut the doors after eight years. Along the way though, David kept in touch with the investment market, purchasing his first block of land in Heathcote, which he then moved a weatherboard home onto. He and his brother - who did the same with a place next door - put some more money and work in the house, and then watched as their investments doubled in value in a year. His next purchase was in Montmorency, which he and his brother also worked on to improve. This property also enjoyed a healthy increase in value, allowing David to purchase his dream property, 9 acres in Hurstbridge. One of the main thing David has picked up since joining Performance Property Advisory, is the awareness of the diverse strategies available to property investors. His plan is to next take advantage of a “passive play” strategy, where purchases in blue-chip suburbs are able to be left unchanged - with the exception of necessary maintenance - while still appreciating in value.  The Daves finish the chat with a rundown of what they can offer clients. This involves managing the purchase in the most viable market (wherever that may be around Australia), tracking that investment, and then advising on when to sell the property as the market reaches its peak.   About your host, David McMillan During his 16 years in the property industry David has worked as a property valuer and property adviser to private clients, financial planners, accountants, finance brokers, major banks and governments.

Property Insiders - Financial Advisers and Property with Joel Hewish

“Real estate has really been kept as a separate asset class entirely from the industry, and so financial advisers have never really grown up in an environment where they could recommend real estate in the past.” Old friends David and Joel Hewish catch up for a chat about the financial planning industry and its relationship to property. Joel is the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Strategist of United Global Capital (UGC), a wealth management firm focused helping clients achieve their full financial potential. David notes that traditionally financial planners have been anti-property. He asks Joel why most institutional financial planners don’t recommend property, despite it often being in their client’s best interest. Joel suggests that it is because it doesn’t fit the business model of the financial planning business. Talk turns pretty quickly to the current Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry, which David thinks is highlighting problems that have been apparent and obvious for years. The question remains, however,  whether the Royal Commission will fix the industry’s problematic aversion to property. Joel points out the legacy aspect of the industry, where it has been slow to evolve and move on from old models of business that saw it focus on insurance and then later superannuation. These businesses were absorbed by the larger financial institutions who in some cases turned their advisement into opportunities to sell their other products. This goes against what clients have been led to believe and expect, which is that advice will be given in their best interest. David finds it devastating that this often does not occur, and is doubly frustrated that even when property may be in the best interest of the client, it is mostly not advised by the larger institutions.  Joel feels like the industry has struggled to figure out how to monetise property advice. Thus they are incentivised to lead clients towards other options. What David appreciates most about Joel and UGC, is that they truly advise their clients in their best interest, whatever that may be. Joel notes that it is the younger generation of financial planners who are changing the industry and finding new ways of achieving their clients’ goals. They are entering the industry with more qualifications than their forebears, and have a much better understanding of the whole of the financial services industry and the products available. This matches the wants of the client, who understand more and want more from their wealth management. Joel outlines the ways in which UGC can help their clients, including through real estate. David makes the observation that this shows that UGC is not “pro-real estate”, but rather “pro-client” matching the strategy to the client’s goals and position. David and Joel discuss the often strained and dependant relationship between financial planners and property investment firms. Talk returns to the Royal Commission, and Joel admits he is a little blown away, even though he expected it to turn up some bad actors in the industry. David thinks this will ultimately be a win for independent financial planners, as the larger institutions are being revealed as an unsafe option for clients’ wealth. David and Joel both find it surprising that there is no regulation around purchasing property, something that for most is a $700K to $1million decision. Joel feels it incredible that the financial services industry has yet to see the need for proper regulation for these types of assets. Ultimately, David and Joel both agree that the financial services industry, and financial planning in particular, will move to an environment where the client’s interests are absolutely paramount.   About your host, David McMillan During his 16 years in the property industry David has worked as a property valuer and property adviser to private clients, financial planners, accountants, finance brokers, major banks and governments.

With a starting point of first understanding each clients risks, aims and own individual circumstances, UGC has developed a culture of wealth creation starting with wealth protection and risk minimisation. Joel’s view is that investing, by its very nature is risky. It is the pursuit of a definite outcome with an over reliance on an uncertain future.

“We know that the State Governments have all but abandoned public and social housing over the last decade in the tens of billions of dollars. And the people who have picked up the slack have been mum and dad property investors.” Ben Kingsley is David’s guest on this episode of Property Insiders. Ben is the host of his own podcast, The Property Couch, as well as being CEO of Empower Wealth and the current Chair of the Property Investors Council of Australia (PICA). Here he chats with David about what PICA is and what its plans for the near future. Ben explains that PICA exists to educate and advocate on behalf of property investors. A relatively recent group, it is not a group set up by business, but rather by other property investors in a response to proposed policy changes which may negatively impact upon the investment market. As opposed to PIPA - which serves the industry professional - PICA serves the consumer. PICA’s key goal is to represent its voter base, something it plans to do through providing members with opportunities to voice their views. PICA also seeks to help people understand property investment better. In addition, PICA wants to protect the rights of property investors through advocacy so investors won’t see a decline in their investment because of poor policy. They wish to find the right balance in regulation to improve the industry and protect member’s investments. Ben sees the biggest issues as being proposed changes to negative gearing and capital gains. These are not just problems for investors, but for everyone involved in housing: renters, homebuyers, and construction. In regards to negative gearing, price fluctuations may not be uniform across the state, meaning price reductions in some outer areas, which will push up prices in the inner city. State governments have fallen by the wayside with respect to investing in public and social housing, and it is small-time investors who have picked up the slack. They continue to drive demand with their investments, and if they were to leave the market, there would be no one to pick up the slack. To become a member of PICA, those interested can simply head to the website (pica.asn.au) and pay the $5 yearly fee (or $20 for 5 years). The funds collected are put towards policy responses and submissions, in particular relating to flagged changes to negative gearing and to tenants’ rights. Members are able to communicated their views to the board through petitions and open channels. PICA regularly updates its members on what is happening in the industry and is seeking independent assessments on the impacts of proposed policies. PICA is open to meaningful and constructive discussions around policy, and seeks a sustainable industry where property is available to everyone who wants to buy or invest.   About your host, David McMillan During his 16 years in the property industry David has worked as a property valuer and property adviser to private clients, financial planners, accountants, finance brokers, major banks and governments.

“You should look for somebody who is a PIPA member, because then you know you can have confidence that they have your interests at heart.” David’s guest on this instalment of Property Insiders is lecturer, author, and Chair of The Property Investment Professionals of Australia (PIPA), Peter Koulizos. He chats with David about PIPA’s objectives, and the benefits it offers both members and consumers. PIPA is the peak association for property investment professionals, providing education to members, as well as helping and protecting consumers with their property investments.  PIPA has a code of conduct that all professionals need to abide by to join and maintain membership. This code of conduct is taken very seriously, and people are often denied inclusion, or have their membership revoked. In joining, members get to be a part of a group whose main aim is to serve the consumer, rather than just to make money for themselves. They can be recognised as a true professional who follow the code and are ethical operators. Peter acknowledges there can be a dark side to the industry, where people try to rip off consumers, and PIPA helps consumers make safer choices about who they work with. Dealing with PIPA members mean consumers can have confidence that their advisor has their best interests at heart. Rogues, spruikers, and unethical operators can’t be members of PIPA, and both Peter and David know from experience that all the best professionals in the industry are PIPA members. If a consumer is dealing with a PIPA member, they can be confident they are working with a quality independent advisor. Peter tells David that PIPA’s main long term objective is to bring regulation to the industry, including developing industry codes and introducing legislation that protects investors. Peter is always amazed that the people who advise consumers on what may be the biggest investment of their lives, don’t need any qualifications or ongoing professional development. PIPA seeks to provide this development, by offering regular webinars, communicating information to members, being a source of compliance and regulatory information, developing a code of conduct, and working continuously to ensure integrity in the industry.

“I think 90 percent of players will invest in property at some point during their playing days.” David’s guest on this episode of Property Insiders is ex-AFL footballer, builder, and Performance Property Advisory consultant, Greg Stafford. They settle down to talk about the work they do advising young sportspeople about maximising their potentially high, yet short-lived, earnings with the right investments. One of the things that makes sportspeople so unique is their higher salaries as compared to their contemporaries. But due to their youth, the speed with which they amass wealth, and the tendency to spend frivolously, it is important that young sportspeople get the right advice about where to invest their money so it works for them over the long term. Currently, AFL sporting clubs don’t offer this advice themselves, but they are actively encouraging players and provide referrals to trusted advisers. One of these advisers, is Greg Stafford. Greg often advises players to put their money in property as this has historically shown to be a positive investment. However, he does caution that research is needed, as many have got it wrong in the past, especially with buying off-plan options. Greg also tells David about some of the top things players can do to protect themselves. However, this advice could be applied to all potential investors.

About David’s guest, Greg Stafford Greg spent 14yrs as a professional sportsman and his involvement in the competitive sports industry like the AFL has taught him many things.

From that grounding he successfully ran his own building company, which to this day can assist clients with pre purchase analysis of renovation/refurbishment scope and feasibility as well as development projects. Greg is passionate about providing clients with the right ‘research based‘ advice, particularly young athletes; while devoting their life to the sport they seek excellence, they need their investments to work as hard as they do. With an understanding of the precarious nature of professional sport and considering the career ‘life span’ of most athletes is relatively short, he is determined to guide their property investments in the right direction.

“There’s no set rule between owner-occupier and investor. I believe it all comes down to your profile.” David gets together again with Mark Davis from The Australian Lending & Investment Centre (ALIC) to chat around the question…  Should you fix your interest rate? David and Mark first talk about the process behind how the RBA and banks set interest rates. This includes all the things taken into consideration and also its application to term deposits. They then talk more specifically about the pros and cons of going with a fixed or variable interest rate. The truth is there is no hard and fast rule, and that either, or a combination, may best for your situation.  Mark also tells David that there should be no real difference between owner-occupiers and investors in terms of interest rates. That being said, variable rates are certainly more risky, and this sometimes makes them more attractive to investors who possess a larger cash buffer. David asks Mark about any tax benefits, which exist for investors on fixed rates. Mark advises that all property buyers should talk through all of the pros and cons of each with the advisors and decide on the one that is best for their circumstances and piece of mind. The discussion concludes with Mark sharing his own personal strategy in regards to interest rates.    About your host, David McMillan During his 16 years in the property industry David has worked as a property valuer and property adviser to private clients, financial planners, accountants, finance brokers, major banks and governments.

“There is no other financial product out there, that gives you exposure to the housing market without buying a house itself.” This month on Property Insiders, David sits down with Anthony Millet, entrepreneur and CEO of BRICKX, a unique and exciting new opportunity in the property investment market. BRICKX is an online platform that allows people to invest in property on a fractional basis. Practically, this means that BRICKX will purchase a property, which is then divided into 10,000 units - or Bricks - which are made available to investors for purchase.  Currently, each Brick costs between $58 and $154, and investors are able to own up to a 5% share in each property. Investors benefit from their share of the monthly rental income, and every six months BRICKX properties are revalued so Brick investors can watch their investments grow.  BRICKX can be used by anyone, but investors include those who have never invested before or entered the property market, as well as seasoned property investors seeking greater diversification.  BRICKX will also soon be able to offer a Rent-to-Buy scheme, where future home-owners will pay a 5% deposit on a property, and then be given a 5 year lease to live there. The occupiers then keep on buying bricks until they’ve amassed at 20% share, at which point they are able to buy the property with a regular commercial mortgage. BRICKX is focused on Blue Chip suburbs, including some of the best suburbs in Australia with long-term high growth profiles. In Sydney, BRICKX offers properties in Double Bay, Bondi Beach, Mosman, Manly, Potts Point, Surry Hills, Annandale, Enmore, and Balmain. In Melbourne, investors can buy Bricks in Port Melbourne, Prahran, and Brunswick West. And their newest accusation opens the Adelaide market up to Brick investors with a property in St Peters. When investors decide to sell their Bricks, they will find it an easy process. To date, they have had over 150,000 transactions and Bricks are currently being sold within 14 hours. Such a situation gives investors, and particularly deposit-savers, greater freedom in managing their investment, allowing them to easily sell their position should their circumstances change. One of the positives of BRICKX is that being an investor will not impact on a person’s ability to access the first home buyer’s grant or stamp duty exemptions. Anthony comments that they are seeing people get to home ownership through using BRICKX. Any capital gains on Bricks are still eligible for the reduction if held for more than 12 months. Additionally, investors still get the benefits of depreciation as BRICKX is a widely-held trust with more than 300 investors. However, as a financial product investors do have to pay tax on the income they receive as part of the rental yield. Performance Property Advisory acts as a buyer for BRICKX and is proud to do so.   About your host, David McMillan During his 16 years in the property industry David has worked as a property valuer and property adviser to private clients, financial planners, accountants, finance brokers, major banks and governments.

Property Insiders - Kevin Agent talks Cash Buffers

“Money is the root of all evil, but if you haven’t got it, it’s worse.” This month on Property Insiders, David sits down with Kevin Agent from the Australian Lending and Investment Centre to chat about cash buffers. A cash buffer is an amount of money you have in a special account that is there if something happens beyond your control. Kevin tells David that there are two options for the cash buffer: to have it in a redraw account, or in an offset account. There are advantages to each, but Kevin thinks if you have a home loan, your cash is better off in a redraw account, and an offset account for an investment property. A redraw account is money you use to pay off your loan, but is then accessible should you need it later on. An offset account is essentially a savings account where the balance is subtracted from your total loan amount, thus reducing your interest. Kevin says his preference is always for an offset account, but for those who are not as good with saving money, a redraw may be a better option as the funds are often more difficult to access and the money feels like it is gone. Some banks offer multiple offset accounts, which can then work like a budgeting tool that also reduces your debt. The money can then be used for future purchases. Kevin says that some of the situations that arise where people might need to use a cash buffer include losing a job, falling on hardship, or even if you want to make purchases or go on a holiday. A cash buffer is essentially about not having to worry and the amount a person has in their cash buffer account is whatever will help them sleep at night. However, Kevin says that it is a good rule of thumb to have about 3 to 4 months of repayments in reserve; at least $20k per $1M of debt. Kevin continues by saying that he believes that unless your intention is to live in the property, the preference would be to not pay off the loan. Rather, keep the money in an offset account to reduce the cost of your loan, and then the money is there if you ever need it. Finally, Kevin stresses that minimising risk is not just about having a cash buffer, but also about having insurance, cash reserves, and above all, purchasing the right asset.

David gets together with Mark Davis from The Australian Lending & Investment Centre (ALIC) to chat around the question…  Why go to a broker instead of a bank to manage your property investments? Through their discussion, David and Mark make the following points: brokers tend to focus more investment lending, structuring, enabling you to create wealth; banks are often more focused on rate, cross-selling, and their product; ALIC has a focus on strategy and structure; Mark: “I’m a really strong believer that you’ve got to be a specialist; you can’t be a Jack of all Trades.”; with a focus on lending, ALIC work closely with other specialists in the field in order to best advise their clients; ALIC keeps strong working relationships with only five banks; brokers are able to tailor specific strategies and structures to your circumstances; there’s very few investment-focused brokers out there; services the client misses out on going to brokers focused on home loans; and a broker needs to understand the wealth side of lending and need to be investors themselves.   About David McMillan (taken from performanceproperty.com.au) During his 16 years in the property industry David has worked as a property valuer and property adviser to private clients, financial planners, accountants, finance brokers, major banks and governments.
