The REIV, RPdata, PriceFinder and around eight other statistics groups never seem to form alignment on the actual activity in the marketplace. One key stat that is highlighted is the Rental Growth in Melbourne which has been staggering in the last quarter of 2018. The average rental for Houses moved from $420 pw and increased to $440 pw which is a 4.7% increase within a single quarter. This has to classified as staggering in anyone's language and appears to be overshadowed by other media focus. 

The old saying of what is a property worth? “What someone is prepared to pay for it” may not exactly hold true in the current marketplace. What it’s worth may not be what a purchaser can borrower at present. Let’s examine this in more detail today.

In many countries around the world over 80% of purchases are completed by using a Buyer’s Agent. In Australia we are for once a very late adopter, well that is until 2019. This year it’s predicted the engagement of Buyer’s Agents or Buyers or Buyers Advocates as they are also known will increase substantially and for very good reason. So today I will examine why.

One of Australia's fastest growing trends in Property is to use a Buyers Agent when purchasing. So why is happening and what does a Buyers Agent provide?

Often we want to set ourselves up for life, but we may be not sure how to do it?  

Property Investors have always fallen into a common mistake. So often they ask the question:

It is so important that when we think we're comparing Apples with Apples we really are doing just this. This is where the Median House or Unit Prices can really confuse people that accept what a media reporter who is uneducated in Property tells them in an article or post. A Median Price is only an activity indicator! Won't that surprise many of the people that are posting about our Real Estate industry. 

Our new Webinar releases have commenced!  

Today, the world of Property Investing has changed enormously, with new lending structures and criteria imposed, new depreciation laws, property options have vastly changed forever and we are now post boom in some locations with others still growing & a number that could still grow very strongly. Rental demand has changed, locations, property type and how you set up with your first investment property has NEVER been more important than today.

Property is an interesting investment vehicle, it can work to virtually any strategy, reach goals and deliver financial freedom when worked the right way.

Upon attending the select extended Real Estate & Mortgage Brokers financial year briefing there was plenty to be learnt about today's market, trends and the right positioning for property investors. Some factors will have considerable impact on how investors need to prepare in the property market and it's best to know this information before stepping forward or planning your next move.

We will be holding a Seminar night @ Mornington on Tuesday the 19th of June to provide insight into the 3 best kept secret investment properties in Australia..

Median House or Unit price indicators are one method of following growth in property. In reality it only shows activity and not a true growth pattern. 

We find people think they know the current depreciation tax laws, but most receive one massive shock!  Depreciation legislation for tax benefits has changed significantly and the difference between buying the right property and the wrong property could see you have more than $100,000 in cashflow difference over the ownership period.

There is a range of smarter property options for the astute property investor today, but which is right for you?

Our services have remained mostly the same since 1990. Our re-brand is to represent the upgrade in the services we now offer being "BUY BUILD INVEST"

We have seen some explosive cases presented to the banking royal commission and it is disappointing to think some Australian's have been treated this way. This is the key reason why we have always liaised with proven experienced finance brokers and only independent firms who provide clients the best advice, whether this means they don't do or if its better for the client to not do business with the given client. A "Client First" philosophy has been a cornerstone of our business and as such we would love to see this approach adopted across all areas where Australian's may look to invest for their future. Our portion of when people are considering investing is just property and we do not provide any financial advice but we can suggest a number of professionals in their given fields who also hold the "Client First" philosophy.       

When we are young we think we have all the time in the world ..............unfortunately time doesn't stand still. In reality our clocks are ticking, and life seems to move faster the older you get. Most of us focus on our Goals & Objectives, with the main one being to retire one day, we normally would prefer this sooner than later.

A home loan is something we find too many people just allow to roll along with them throughout their lives without understanding how much this could be costing them.

Today we are once again living in a time when people want to "Get Rich Quick" which can often do more harm than good. High, fast rewards comes with high risk. A balanced more steady & planned longer term strategy that still allows for other moderate endulgences along the way has been the proven formula for hundreds of thousands to achieve long term success when investing. 

Have you heard people talking about Dual Occupancies as the best method for achieving the best cashflow on an investment property?

Once again we have enjoyed the Melbourne Cup run on the first Tuesday in November, the nation has stopped, the race has been run. This year as each and every year, there are tails of massive winnings, instant riches and glory being celebrated. One such story was the TAB promotion, where a $5 bet ended up with a person winning a Million Dollars by end of the Cup! It's a wonderful story on the surface but today lets look at this a touch deeper.

​In an instant world, an instant millionaire was produced on Cup Day from a gambling promotion, but lets have a real look behind the curtain and see what Owners of Successful Horses have in common along with Property Investors....... they all own substantial amounts of their wealth in property. To be able to afford a flutter they all have solid secure, growing assets that provide reliable and consistent returns. Yes some have started with the massive benefit of family money to give them a leap frog over most but they are very solidly invested in property this we can be assured of as fact.
 

Australian's are a relaxed character of people as we all know that but are we becoming too blase' when it comes to our property?

If you still think property investment means pulling a house off the shelf and popping a tenant in, it’s time to think again.

Are you working hard and only seeing the growing equity in your property and a token gesture into superannuation as your idea of building wealth. Are you sitting on Equity and not utilising it for investment for your own future?

Plenty of people will tell you what you shouldn’t be doing with your money. And sometimes it feels as if every money-making alley is a blind one.

In the debate about the merits of negative gearing in Australia, plenty of questions demand answers.

When talking about different aspects of property investment, we tend to forget one of the most important – you! What makes you tick?

Investing in a residential property requires a long term commitment.

A deposit of 10 percent of the sale price is usually required at the time of entering into a contract to purchase a property.

When massive infrastructure expenditure is scheduled in any area, more non-government investment and more people usually follow.

If you regularly read the property news in the local press, you would be forgiven for thinking that the outlook for residential property investors is not all that positive.

The number of investors seeking to invest in dual income residential investment properties is now far greater than ever before.
