371 | Three Property Lessons from the Same $25k Deposit?! โ€“ Chat with Brad

Winners never quit, and quitters never win. โ€“ Vince Lombardi

Todayโ€™s special guest, Brad is definitely not a quitter.

Born & raised in Zimbabwe, Africa while experiencing a hyperinflation, it wasnโ€™t a flowery path but Brad learned resilience and tenacity from a young ageโ€ฆ

He immigrated to Perth with the family when he was 19 and unfortunately, did not have an excellent startโ€ฆ

 

An unfortunate event let him to a lump sum of $25,000 which thankfully, he invested in property!

Butโ€ฆ That property didnโ€™t quite work out.

He managed to recover the $25k and got another property. (Yay!)

Butโ€ฆ That property didnโ€™t quite work out either.

Most people would have given up by now but noโ€ฆ Brad did not. He recovered the $25k and yes, he got another property.

Butโ€ฆ (it breaks our heart to say this) The third property STILL didnโ€™t quite work out.

Soโ€ฆ WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED?! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

 

Obviously, thatโ€™s quite a full-on story, right!?! And definitely not something you hear every day.

But trust us, it gets even more โ€œWow.โ€

Tune in today for all the gold ๐Ÿ˜‰

368 | Got Stung By A Spruiker: Restarting After Ten Years of Property Mistakes โ€“ Chat with Michael

โ€œI read enough book to make me dangerousโ€

Thatโ€™s the quote from our special guest today.

 

A thirst for knowledge is an excellent virtue to have but in some cases, you might encounter information overloadโ€ฆ Or in other rare cases, you might be reading the wrong books or getting advice from mentors with hidden agendas.

Unfortunately todayโ€™s Summer Series guest, Michael, is in the latter category.

Folks, if you had been stung by a spruiker before, youโ€™d know that itโ€™s not easy getting back on the property ladder and, even more so trusting another so called property professionals.

But Michael did.

Despite being a victim of opportunity cost, he did not let that deter him at all. In fact, he learned from each experience, good and bad, and stood up to the challenge, stronger and more motivated than ever.

Butโ€ฆ

How did he recover from all the bad purchases? (Yes, there were a few!)

Tune in for all those and more folks because his true story starts waaaaay before he bought the first investment stock property ๐Ÿ˜‰

367 | The Chain of Unfortunate Events: What Made This Single Mum a Superhero? โ€“ Chat with Dee

โ€œA wound is where the light gets inโ€ – Rumi

Itโ€™s our 2021/22 Summer Series folks!!

This is our 4th year of Summer Series and we get very very excited each time because not only do we get to chat directly with our listeners, we get to learn so much from their life transformation. From the adversity that life threw at them, the mistakes that theyโ€™ve made, the perseverance that theyโ€™ve shown, the tenacity to be better and so much more.

Their story is so insightful and motivating that weโ€™re certain that you would definitely learn at least one gold from each of them.

And this year is no different.

 

Kicking off our Summer Series this year is a superhero single mum of two, Dee!

Immigrating from South India and growing up in North England during the Thatcher era in the 80s is obviously no easy feat.

On top of that, Dee was the oldest of four siblings where money was so tight that a treat must be split four ways to be shared among the kids.

All the adversity in her early life clearly built up her foundation for money and generate an invincible determination and drive for success.

But thatโ€™s not the end of todayโ€™s storyโ€ฆ

In fact, itโ€™s just the beginning.

Without giving too much away, letโ€™s just say that there was a chain of events that completely shocked us and brought a tear to our eyes.

Please just listen to this episode folks โ€“ weโ€™ve started the Summer Series with her story โ€˜cos if it ainโ€™t a bang, we donโ€™t know what is!

Huge shout out to Dee for sharing her incredible story with us โ€“ powerful stuff, folks!

CASE STUDY: How to Break into the Property Market?

Folks, the last time we unpacked a case study on the podcast was back in Episode 64 on 19th of May 2016. (WHAT?!!!)

Soโ€ฆ you can imagine how excited we were with this case study, canโ€™t you?

The answer isโ€ฆย  VERY!!!

 

Weโ€™ve been planning for this case study for weeks (whilst recording for the Summer Series too in fact) and thereโ€™s just so many moving parts when it comes to the variables and cashflow modelling. Itโ€™s simply not possible to explain it in an audio environment.

So we thoughtโ€ฆ

Letโ€™s make sure we prepare this as a free downloadable for our community! ๐Ÿ˜Š


  • Are you also interested to have a better understanding of your cashflow position via our FREE Money SMARTS Platform?

  • This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

p.s. To help you understand it a little bit more, make sure to tune in to Episode 366 | How to Break into the Property Market?. Fast forward to theย 46:39ย minuteย mark and youโ€™ll get to play along at home. And of course, if you prefer a written copy instead, weโ€™ve also added a rough transcript in the report.

366 | How to Break into the Property Market?

Folks, the last time we unpacked a case study on the podcast was back in Episode 64 on 19th of May 2016. (WHAT?!!!)

Soโ€ฆ you can imagine how excited we were with this episode, canโ€™t you? ๐Ÿ˜‰

In fact, Ben said this at the very startโ€ฆ

โ€œMAAAAATEโ€ฆ. This is a MEGA episode!โ€

And no, heโ€™s not exaggerating!

What we are doing today is a bit of Myth Busting coupled with some data, graph and cashflow modelling. And here’s a spoilerโ€ฆ Youโ€™ll be very surprised at our proposed strategy for this case study cause itโ€™s not exactly what weโ€™ve been banging on about for the last 300+ episodes.

Why are we proposing this then?

Well….

Cause we are going through a rapid price growth cycle and our strategy needs to be flexible and agile!

But before you start tearing off those pages in your custom-made The Property Couch Textbook (just joking but if you have one, please let us know!) remember thisโ€ฆ

…. The fundamentals are still very much the same ๐Ÿ˜‰

365 | Why Is investing So Confusing?

We donโ€™t blame you if you find investing confusingโ€ฆ even Ben found it confusing when he started 30 years ago.

There are so many different asset classes to pick from, different procedures to follow, various biases to learn from and the worst of them allโ€ฆ

THE JARGON!

Short, Long, Dollar Cost Averaging, Coupon Rates, Day Trader and the list goes on.

 

So where would one even start?

 

Our answer isโ€ฆ This episode.

Itโ€™s back to the basics today folks and weโ€™re not even focusing just on property! Weโ€™re covering most of the popular investments classes and procedures so think of this episode asโ€ฆ Investment 101.

Enjoy!
