In this edition of Family Worship, Pete from Christ Community Church in Toowong, shares from Luke 10, the story of Jesus, Mary and Martha. This is not a message designed to persuade us to stand up to our business, but to make us realise that we're sinking in distraction, and we need to sit at the feet of Jesus.

Holy Family - Luke 2:22-40 Marian is married to Michael and has three children and three grandchildren. She is a cradle Anglican whose call to ordained ministry, is associated with her study of Paul's letters. Marian was a founding member and coordinator of MOW Brisbane and was very engaged in the struggle to change the Anglican church's attitude towards the ordination of women.  Marian has BA (Psychology) a Dip. Ed (Primary) and a Phd (New Testament). It was when she was a Community Worker in Christchurch New Zealand, that she experienced a growing sense that she was called to respond to the spiritual needs of the community. From that, emerged a vocation to the priesthood. Marian was ordained priest in Brisbane in 1995, in the third group of women to be ordained in this Diocese. She has served in three Parishes – Rosewood, Toowong and Hamilton - and has held many Diocesan and National positions. Having a Phd has meant that she has also been able to pursue her love of teaching and has taught for over 20 years at St Francis Theological College – the Letters of Paul, Anglican Liturgy, Introduction to the New Testament, The Synoptics and the Johannine Literature. Now retired from Parish ministry, Marian continues to serve in her local parish and on the Cathedral chapter. Retirement projects include gardening (fruit and vegetables), sewing, learning Italian and minding the grandchildren.

I hosted a seminar in August 2018 where I presented an investment case for (investment-grade) houses in Brisbane in the $800,000 to $1m price range. It was my thesis that they represented excellent value and had a high probability of delivering above-average returns in the medium term. An investment grade house that sold for circa $800,000 in late 2018 would be worth well over $1 million today.Depending on your financial position, existing assets and investment strategy, an investment-grade property in Brisbane might still be an excellent investment. I set out some pros and cons to consider in this blog (in no particular order).Pro: Overseas and interstate migrationThe chart below sets out interstate migration for NSW, Victoria and Queensland. Sydney's interstate migration has been negative for many years (as a Melbournian, I'll resist the temptation to disparage Sydney). The clear trend over the past 5 years is that a growing number of people are moving from Victoria and NSW to Queensland. However, historically, almost all interstate migrants move to the Sunshine and Gold Coast, not Brisbane. However, I suspect that Covid might change that trend.See chart here. This next chart sets out net overseas migration since 2004. Overseas migration declined significantly between 2008 and 2015. It was starting to recover but of course Covid has interrupted that. Unlike interstate migration, almost all overseas migrants move to Brisbane.See chart here.Interestingly, New Zealanders tend to represent around half of the total permanent migrants. But fewer New Zealanders have been moving to Queensland in recent (pre-covid) years. The number of New Zealand migrants between 2017 and 2019 ranged between 1,500 and 3,000. By comparison, in 2008 over 16,000 New Zealanders moved to Queensland. A rebound in New Zealand migration could have positive consequences for Brisbane and its property market.I suspect that Covid has highlighted how attractive Australia is as a designation for overseas migrants. And, for some of the reasons highlighted below, Brisbane is well positioned to attract a large share of these immigrants.Pro: Large infrastructure spendingBrisbane is in the midst of a$20 billion infrastructure spend including major projects such as Cross River Rail, Queen's Wharf Precinct, Showgrounds Masterplan, Brisbane Live entrainment precinct and so on.Last year, the Queensland government completed construction of a second runway at Brisbane airport at a cost of $1.4 billion. It is projected to generate $5 billion of economic benefit over the next 10 years.And of course, Brisbane will host the 2032 Olympic games. KPMG projects that it will deliver $4.6 billion in economic benefits.These infrastructure projects contribute positively to Brisbane's ability to attract a growing number of overseas and interstate migrants.Con: Smaller city (population)Brisbane's population is almost half the size of Melbourne and Sydney, which means there are fewer high net worth persons that are willing and able to drive blue-chip property prices higher. As I have written before, property prices will continue to rise in blue-chip locations as long as the demand from a cohort of wealthy individuals outstrips supply. The larger a city's population is, the more likely that demand will persistently outstrip supply.See table here.Pro: Better affordabilityBuying a family home in a blue-chip suburb (i.e. located 5-12 kms from the city in a good school zone) is still relatively affordable in Brisbane compared to Melbourne and Sydney. A property of this calibre can typically cost in the range of $1 million to $1.5 million. However, in Melbourne and Sydney you need to spend more than double that amount.I think this is a big attraction for overseas migrants, particularly New Zealanders.Con: Job opportunitiesOne of the Brisbane's downsides is that it doesn't have a lot of corporate head offices and therefore, attract fewer high-paying executive roles. From a list of 265 notable large Australian business (many of them listed), only 27 of them have head offices in Brisbane (compared to 94 in Sydney and 84 in Melbourne). A city really needs to be large enough to attract a large number of employers that earn substantial salaries.The ‘work from home' movement might go some way to alleviate this. Depending on the industry and occupational role, it may not be necessary for key employees to live in the same state as the company's head office.Pro: Lower stamp duty than in VictoriaInvesting in property in Brisbane attracts lower levels of stamp duty than in Victoria. The table below compares the upfront stamp duty cost and ongoing land tax for a property worth $1 million.See table here.It is noteworthy that NSW charges the lowest amount of Stamp duty. However, of course, you are not going to find an investment grade property for $1 million in Sydney, so the comparison is theoretical only. The reality is that purchasing in investment grade property is either Melbourne or Sydney will give rise to a much higher stamp duty bill.Pro: Higher rental yieldInvestment-grade house rental yields in Brisbane range between 2.5% and 3.5%, with the typical yield being close to the midpoint i.e. 3%. This yield is much higher than in Melbourne and Sydney where investment-grade houses are lucky to generate a rental yield of 2%.Based on current fixed interest rates, the annual after-tax holding costs for a $1.5 million property is likely to be less than $10,000.Think long termCurrently you can buy an investment-grade property in Brisbane in a blue-chip suburb such as Toowong, Ashgrove, Paddington for between $1 and $1.5 million. The house will be located on a 400-500 sqm block of land (land value will represent 60-70% of the property's total value). You will receive a 3% rental yield.I ask myself, what will this property be worth in 20 years? It is certainly not inconceivable that a $1.5m property today will be worth over $4 million in 20 years' time (which is only a growth rate of 5% p.a.). If so, I have accumulated $2.5m in equity and it won't have cost me very much money to pay for its holding costs.Conclusion: Could be a good addition to your portfolioFor the reasons discussed above, investing in Brisbane property does have a lot of merit. Of course, whether it suits your circumstances is something I cannot comment on. However, it is important to consider the benefits of geographical diversification. Therefore, if you already have investment exposure to the Melbourne and/or Sydney property markets, then investing in Brisbane could be a good addition to your portfolio.Of course, it is paramount to buy the right property i.e. one that is investment-grade.
