It’s very easy to get sucked into property market predictions continuously getting pumped out by the media! Today, I’ve brought Michael Yardney back on the show. With 50 years of investing experience, he’s seen more market cycles than most and knows what to pay attention to. We’ll break down the biggest property myths and predictions that experts will get wrong this year. Investing in property is one of the best ways to build wealth—but only if you do it right. The problem? Most investors get it wrong by following short-term hype instead of long-term strategy. With so many "experts" giving conflicting advice, it's easy to feel lost. If you want to avoid costly mistakes and build real wealth, this episode is a must-listen. Let’s go inside!
The Michael Yardney Podcast | Property Investment, Success & Money
Around Australia, weekend property auctions have become almost a national pastime. When we're not lockdown people go along to have a sticky beak, to get an idea of the market, to fantasize about their dream homes or just to watch the street theatre unfolding before them. It's a bit like watching buskers – you see an auction being conducted you just have to stop and gawk for a while. Of course, over the last year, we have had to learn to adapt in many auctions are conducted online, but auctions are still a particularly popular method of selling properties, especially when the market is strong. For all the street theatre and entertainment value, auctions represent a lot of stress and tension for those involved so today and in the next episode of the Michael Yardney podcast, we're going to concentrate on how to win at auctions. And even if you're not planning to buy a property at auction in the near future, there will be lots of information for you as I chat with my son Bryce Yardney, and you get inside the mind of a very successful investor and buyer's agent who has bought hundreds and hundreds of properties at auction for our clients at Metropole. What to do before and during an auction: Before the auction: Preliminaries include: getting finance preapproved, understanding what ownership entity you're using to purchase, having a strategic property plan if it's an investment, understanding what you must have, what you'd like to have, and what you don't have if you're buying a home and doing due diligence on your suburb. Attend a lot of auctions to feel at home with them and watch how the auctioneers work. In particular watch the auctioneer who will be showing the property you're interested in. Determining the value of the property Understand what's comparable in today's market. End up with 3 figures: what you think the property is worth The price you'd like to get it for The stretched price you're prepared to go to The purchase price shouldn't be determined by borrowing capacity. How do you find out the reserve? It doesn't really matter. Often the auctioneer doesn't know until the day of the auction. Finalizing contract terms Check with the agent to find out how should you pay the deposit Request any changes you'd like Four things the selling agent knows that you don't The real reason the vendor is selling The price range the owner wants How many other buyers are really interested and possibly the range they are likely to pay Things that are wrong with the property Can you buy a property before the auction? In today's market, because vendors are more confident that they will sell at auction, however, there are a number of reasons why vendors may be prepared to sell before auction. Nervous vendor Sensitive sellers – Sellers going through emotional challenges like death, divorce, illness. Time-sensitive vendors – they have already bought a house and the certainty of selling their old property outweighs the potential benefit of a higher price at auction. There isn't much interest in the property The agent is in a hurry to sell You have a premium offer on the table What to do on Auction Day Show up early Note the body language of the other players Know your competition – it's the underbidder, not the auctioneer Project confidence Open high Don't procrastinate over the next bid Avoid not bidding – that's not a strategy Know what bidding strategies don't work, like moving up in small increments or trying to swoop in at the end of the auction after staying silent If it's going to pass in, make sure you are the highest bidder, as this allows the first right to negotiate with the vendor. Be prepared to miss out. Stick to your ‘walk-away price.

The Michael Yardney Podcast | Property Investment, Success & Money
Have you ever thought of getting involved in property development? That's what I'm going to talk about today with Bryce Yardney, director of Metropole Projects. We're seeing more and more people interested in property development because, in times of flatter capital growth, you're looking to manufacture capital growth. Today we're going to talk about some of the risks involved in property development. Property development involves a wide range of activities and processes and in order to be successful, you'll need to know about the market, the property, economics, finance, town planning, construction, and even marketing. It's difficult, but if you have a good team around you and you have the finance to do it, property development is a great way to build your assets and buy your next investment at wholesale. Hopefully, today's show will give you some insight into whether property development is for you, now or sometime in the future. Some of the common risks of property development that we discuss: Mistaking precedent for permission: The rules can change. Just because somebody else did it doesn't mean that you'll be able to do it. Not understanding what “subject to council approval” means: “Subject to council approval” is like the word “but”. Anything that comes before it is meaningless. You need to understand the council you're getting into and understand something about town planning – or at least have someone on your team who does. Not being cautious about competitive developments Delivering the wrong product to the market: Remember, it's not about what you would want. You need to understand what the market really wants Not anticipating bank hurdles: The banks are currently more difficult than They're afraid of what's going on and more conservative than usual. Borrowing is not impossible, but you need to be prepared for a number of hurdles. Not understanding what goes into choosing a builder: There are three big factors that go into choosing a builder. These are quality, time, and dollars. Don't get so hung up on dollars that you sacrifice the quality. Not having enough money for upfront costs: Banks don't lend for soft costs, like stamp duty, interests, consulting costs, etc, so you need to allow for enough money upfront to handle these expenses, that can run into the tens of thousands. Underestimating the power of the council Not employing a project manager Not know what you don't know: That's why you need somebody around you to help you – someone who will know the things that you don't know.
