We have sat down with a number of them to get exclusive insights into their strategies, tips, and personal journeys. Our...
info_outline Australian Population SurgeHotspotting
At a time when Australia is buckling under the weight of the dwelling shortage problem, population growth is occurring at record levels, mostly because we are bringing in migrants at unprecedented levels. The latest data from the ABS shows that the national population rose 2.5% last year. That means 660,000 added to the Australian population, lifting the total close to 27 million – which is a milestone achieved well ahead of the official government forecasts. This historically high level of population growth has been fuelled by new people arriving from overseas. Overseas migration, in fact,...
info_outline Ignored Rental SolutionsHotspotting
The politicians and talking heads of Australia are willing to consider or recommend ANYTHING as a solution to the rental shortage – anything EXCEPT the only thing that will work. And which, incidentally, would be really easy to implement and would have much faster outcomes than the many crackpot schemes that are being suggested. Every day mainstream media is full of articles about the rental crisis – with an emphasis on extreme situations, sensationalist headlines and the demonising of landlords as the arch-villains of the situation. There are also growing instances of “big idea”...
info_outline Past Doesn't MatterHotspotting
One of the factors we’re constantly searching for, among the thousands of markets across Australia, is CHANGE. We’re on the look-out, every day, for locations where the performance of the property market is set to go to another level because of major changes in the local economy. We sometimes surprise people by recommending areas that have a POOR TRACK RECORD on capital growth. But, essentially, we don’t care about the PAST when we’re choosing locations to recommend. We’re only interested in the FUTURE. When we find a location where a major program of infrastructure development...
info_outline The Doubling Game with Andrew Courtney of Plenitude WealthHotspotting
It’s true that if you invest wisely, you can grow substantial wealth through property investment but how big can you go? Can you double your net assets and keep doubling them to hit a $1million or $10 million or even $1billion? Strategic financial adviser, Andrew Courtney of Plenitude Wealth, says you can and he will join Hotspotting founder Terry Ryder on Wednesday 20 March for a webinar to reveal how the “Doubling Game” and real estate investment can accelerate the process. Courtney, an acknowledged expert on The Doubling Game, explains it like this: If you start off with $1,000 and...
info_outline State Laws Make It WorseHotspotting
When you have a major national crisis caused by the shortage of a key product, you take steps to facilitate an increase in the provision of the thing that’s in short supply. Right? And that would logically involve providing incentives to the people who supply the commodity that’s scarce - or otherwise creating conditions that make it easier for them to create more of that commodity. You would, wouldn’t you? Well, you would think so in a sensible world, but that’s not what happens in Australia. Not in the housing market, where the opposite happens. Federal, state and local governments...
info_outline Property Investment: Media vs. Research (Featuring Hotspotting Best Buys Report)Hotspotting
The most successful property investors that I know have some features in common and making decisions based on research is one of the key ones. But those people are relatively rare. It seems to me, from observing the behaviour of investors for the past four decades, that more people make investment decisions based on media soundbites than on genuine research. Far too many people are leaping recklessly into the Perth property market because mainstream media keeps telling them that prices are booming and will keep on booming, backed by commentary from real estate people who have a vested interest...

info_outline Shortage ContinuesHotspotting
The chronic housing shortage that we’ve been hearing so much about lately is getting worse – and will continue to get more and more serious. Three major measures of the supply of homes, both for purchase and for rent, are heading in the wrong direction for a nation that needs solutions from our politicians. Building approvals continue to fall when the nation needs them to be rising, loans for the purchase of new dwellings are also heading in the wrong direction, and vacancy rates continue to go lower, when the one-third of households that rent need them to rise to take the pressure off...
