Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
Imagine being told that an area has a housing shortage, the vacancy rate is low, a new train line is coming, and the property you’re looking at is below market value. They sound reassuring, which is exactly why they work so well. Over the years I've watched many hardworking Australians hand over their deposits on the strength of words like these, and plenty of them are still waiting for the growth they were promised a decade ago. Today my guest Dorian Traill and I are going to translate the marketing language that gets used on property investors into what it usually...

Why Most Property Forecasts Get It Wrong
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
Every year, economists, property analysts and media commentators tell us where interest rates, house prices and rents are heading next. Some forecasts will be broadly correct, many will miss the mark, and almost none will anticipate the unexpected events that eventually shape our markets. Yet property investors continue searching for certainty, which is understandable when they are committing hundreds of thousands of dollars and taking on debt that may last for decades. The danger begins when a forecast designed to describe one possible future is treated as a promise. ...

Is This the Bottom for Sydney and Melbourne Property? | Dr Andrew Wilson
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
Sydney and Melbourne house prices have just recorded their first monthly rise since April, and I think that’s an important signal for anyone wondering where our property markets are heading as we move towards 2027. Many commentators had written off our two biggest markets this year, after four interest rate rises, major changes to property taxes and a big cut in migration. Yet Melbourne led the nation in October, with house prices up 0.6% over the month, and Hobart and Sydney also moved higher. Meanwhile Brisbane, one of the stars of the last few years, recorded...

Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
Here's an uncomfortable question to start today's show. When your last property deal didn't go the way you wanted, when a negotiation stalled, when the market moved against you, who did you blame? The bank? The agent? Interest rates? The economy? Here's the thing my guest today has learned after coaching some of the highest performing real estate agents in this country, and now some of Australia's leading business people and even a hedge fund manager. The people who actually build serious wealth, in property, in business, in any field, almost never default to blame. They...

Property Investors: Why Australia's Growth Engine Is About To Stall
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
For twenty years, Australia's economy has been growing. Company profits have gone up, dividends have gone up, and property values have gone up. But what if I told you that most of that growth had almost nothing to do with us getting smarter, more efficient, or more productive? What if it was really just more people? More immigration, more houses needed, more traffic, more schools, more everything, but not one dollar per person any richer for it. That is exactly what Ashley Owen, my guest today, has uncovered...

The Property Slingshot: Why Today’s Falling Prices Could Trigger Tomorrow’s Boom | John Lindeman
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
Right now, property headlines are telling you the market is falling apart. Prices have been down in almost every capital city for months in a row. Bank economists are downgrading their forecasts. Talk of more interest rate rises before Christmas. And if you're an investor watching your portfolio value dip on paper, that news cycle feels personal. But what if I told you that the very thing that's spooking everyone right now, this run of falling prices, is actually the setup for the next property boom, not the end of one? Well, that's the view of my guest today - John...

Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
Melbourne property investors have endured almost a decade of disappointing growth, and the usual explanation is taxes, debt and government policy. But what if the biggest cause was the extraordinary 20-year boom that came before it? By the end of this episode, you'll understand exactly why Melbourne has underperformed for the best part of a decade, why the usual suspects, land tax, state debt, poor sentiment, probably aren't the real culprits, and why the length of Melbourne's flat patch might actually be the strongest signal yet that a powerful new growth cycle is coming....

Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
What if the biggest financial mistakes people make aren't about picking the wrong investment or getting the timing wrong - but about the things nobody ever sat them down and actually explained? I've spent over 50 years in property investment. I've read hundreds of books, attended countless courses, paid for mentors, and written nine books of my own.

Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
By the time many of today's Gen Z buys their first home, Melbourne will have overtaken Sydney as Australia's biggest city. Canberra will be bigger than Newcastle.

info_outlineOn today’s episode, I chat with Brett Warren about asking the right questions before buying that next property because doing that can make all the difference between a profitable venture and a costly mistake.
I’m sure you've heard me say before that property investment is a process, not an event, and the property that you're going to eventually buy should be the physical manifestation of a whole lot of decisions you make. So, in today's episode, we're going to explore the top 10 questions you've got to ask before making that next big purchase, and they're going to help you evaluate potential investments and understand market dynamics.
We're going to try and make sure that you set yourself up for long-term success.
So, by the end of this episode, you should have a comprehensive checklist to help you make informed and confident decisions in your property investment journey.
Essential Questions to Ask Before Your Next Property Purchase
● Does this property fit into my long-term investment strategy?
o Ensuring that the property aligns with your long-term financial goals and risk profile is essential for sustained success in property investment.
● Have I created a comprehensive investment strategy?
o A documented and proven strategy helps you make informed and confident decisions, reducing the likelihood of costly mistakes.
● What is the true value of the property?
o Understanding the property's value through recent comparable sales and intrinsic values helps set realistic market value thresholds and avoid overpaying.
● What are the current market trends in the area?
o Knowledge of market trends ensures that you are investing in an area with strong growth potential and avoids the pitfalls of investing based on outdated or unreliable data.
● Have I secured pre-approval for finance?
o Pre-approval provides clarity on your budget, strengthens your negotiating position, and ensures you can make a firm offer without finance contingencies.
● Do I understand the local area and its growth potential?
o Local expertise is crucial for making informed decisions and understanding factors that can affect the property's value and rental demand.
● Is the property investment grade?
o Not all properties are suitable for investment. Investment-grade properties offer strong capital appreciation, and steady cash flow, and are in high demand.
● What is the cash flow and repayment capacity for this property?
o Understanding cash flow and having a financial buffer is essential to handle unexpected expenses and ensure you can manage the property sustainably.
● What ownership structure is best for this property?
o Choosing the right ownership structure can optimize tax benefits and provide asset protection.
● Have I conducted thorough due diligence on the property?
o Assessing body corporate fees, potential structural issues, and other hidden costs helps avoid surprises and ensures the property is a sound investment.
● Am I approaching this decision as an investor or am I emotionally involved?
