The verdict is well and truly in — when money is cheap, the world goes around faster. We’re basically seeing that show up now. The other important news is around inflation – and we’re going to see this word, “transitionary” as the new buzzword. And… positive economic data is everywhere. Let’s dive deeper into this month’s RBA!

This video features Ben’s update on the Reserve Bank of Australia’s cash rate, and as always, he’ll be unpacking the economic and political update around the world and within Australia too.

 

Plus, Ben also includes his latest news and commentary on…

👉 United States GDP, Jobs Market, Housing Market and more!
👉 The IMF Latest World Economic Outlook – Find out more here
👉 What are the positive economic indicators for Australia?
👉 Why is the RBA so fixated on inflation?
👉 How’s the Australian Housing Market looking like?

330 | Top 10 FOMO Mistakes Investors Make!

By in Podcast

Subscribe On Itunes Subscribe On Android

FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) is certainly here in this hot property market, folks! 

Let’s be real… the “Great Australian BBQ Topic” is officially on steroids right now — a combination of low interest rates, rising property prices and lack of supply in the market is seeing all sorts of people jump in on “the property party” they perceive everyone else is enjoying. 

So, we want to be direct with you… there are NO excuses to purchase property because of FOMO! The reality is you should NEVER make huge financial decisions on a whim or forget to “Look Before You Leap”. 

A hot market — like the one we’re currently experiencing — is the perfect storm for property buyers to make mistakes and land themselves in hot water by stretching themselves too far, act without thinking, fall into the “herd” mentality or disregard that FOMO is paradise for Spruikers!! 

As a follow on to our 3-part mini-series on how to win in a HOT property market, today we’re tackling the Top 10 FOMO mistakes property investors make… because we DON’T want to see you getting burnt out there or Realising Too Late that you fell into the trap of Irrational Exuberance!! 

So, strap yourselves in folks… ‘cos we’re about to give you some TOUGH LOVE!
