I once thought... Is it possible to invest in property without dealing with broken air conditioners, appliances, and additional expenses?

Something that is truly passive and doesn’t require someone to manage them,

But still with access to the leverage of debt, compounding interest, cash flow, etc.

That is when I came across REITs!

Join Grant and I in this podcast as we dive deep into the topic so you can learn more about the different shapes and sizes of REITs.

Whether I’m scrolling past an article or overhearing it on the news,

It seems like the mainstream media are constantly bombarding us with stories about the impending boom or bust of the property market.

I can totally see how people can misinterpret this and become short-sighted with their perspectives on property,

Fortunately, we’re here to change the conversation!

Grant and I are breaking down the obsession to hit a home run over the next 12 months when in reality, property market is a long-term game.

Tune in now!

When it comes to life’s big decisions,
Whether that’s moving from your hometown, deciding to start a family, buying your own home, etc…

There will typically be one person in a relationship who is more enthusiastic about the new idea than the other.

So, to tell you the truth…
Investing in property was one of those moments for Bianca and myself.

Which is why I’m walking you through how I approach it.
This will ensure you don’t have to endure those awkward car drives or ruined family dinners like I did!

So, let’s get down and dirty…
As Grant and I talk about our experiences with getting our respective partners on board with investing!

I’m back in the market, hunting for opportunities again.

Fortunately, it feels like everyone is avoiding the capital growth approach because they’re more concerned with protecting their cash flow.

So, in true vulture nature…

I’m leaning in.

So join Grant and I as we dive into our latest property investment updates,
as well as the new acquisitions that I’ve been busy making!

As an investor, I'm sure you have heard every tip or trick to speed up the process…

If you’ve been in the game for some time now,
I can imagine nothing surprises you anymore…

So, today I’m going to test that! 😂

With the idea of: RECYCLING!

What if I said that there was a way to optimise the way you use debt?

Specifically non-tax-deductible debt
( the debt on your principal place of residence - PPOR)

Well, it’s a magical thing called Debt Recycling…
If used correctly, the advantages here can be an unlocker!

( I feel like a broken record… but…
This is not financial advice,
I don’t know your situation at all,
Speak to a profession before making any decisions )

What to learn more?

In this week’s podcast episode, Grant and I are unlocking the secrets behind debt recycling as we speak with our resident mortgage broker, Aaron Whybrow…
So that you can explore if it’s possible to legally minimise your tax and build wealth faster!

We’ll be discussing:
- What is debt recycling?
- How effective is it?
- Who should and shouldn’t be using it
- As well as how it affects trust and more!

22/05/2023

Interest rates have risen so much since then that properties that were once positively geared when purchased are now falling (or have fallen) into negatively geared positions.

Nowadays, investors are defending their cash flow by saving on groceries and other essentials.

So, is it still possible to find cash flow-positive properties in our current environment? And can you improve negatively geared ones?

Listen to this episode as Grant and I give you answers to these questions, plus more valuable property investing lessons.
