Free report: State Capitals Outlook 2020
Keen to find out how the state capitals recovered from their previous trough and the current outperformers? You’re in the right spot! Just fill in the form below and we’ll send it to you right away.
Free resources: States Capitals Feb 2020
Bryce and Ben have unpacked this report in detail in Episode 271 BUT it is quite hard to visualise it on audio, so we’ve created this report as well as the definition for the terms used and included the list of the hot pockets mentioned in this episode.
Hot pockets are clusters of suburbs either neighbouring one another or in close proximity where demand exceeds supply in all of them. Heat in an “isolated” suburb (i.e. not in a cluster) may dissipate into its neighbours, diluting growth. But a cluster means buyers have fewer options. They can’t turn their attention to a cooler market unless they look much further afield. This makes clusters a good choice for investors to start their research.
RBA February 2020 – Bushfire Crisis, Coronavirus & Economic Outlook

- The impact of the bushfire crisis, drought and coronavirus to Australia’s Economy
- The US-China have sealed Phase One of the deal. What will we be expecting from now onwards?
- Brexit and what does it mean to us?
- The inflation rate is currently sitting at 1.8%. Will we be seeing a drop or rise from here?
- Unemployment and job growth data – How did this affect the RBA’s cash rate decision?
- Credit and Lending Data Update

232 | Are All Tenants the Same?
Have you ever thought about WHO will be living in your investment property?
Chances are, you have! Because folks… an investment property is pretty useless without a tenant/s in it!! After all, you need these guys to help pay off your mortgage!
So. Are they all the same??
What TYPES of tenants are out there and what can you expect from each one?
Well, here’s the deal… we think there are FOUR tiers of tenants.
Let’s meet them, shall we?
Oh and FYI: Ben’s “Did You Know” is off the charts… we don’t think we’ve ever seen him this prepared in our podcast history — so make sure you stick around for that!!!

- Ben’s Article in the Financial Review (may be subscriber access only, sorry folks)
- Ben’s Money Magazine Cover Story – Pay off Your Mortgage or Invest? (Subscribe to Money HERE)
- PICA’s Webinar — Get the Replay — Sign up as a Member
Here’s what you’re in for…
- How many rental dwellings existing in Australia?
- What are the FOUR TYPES OF TENANTS??
- Why are rents predicted to increase if Negative Gearing changes are implemented?
- How much did rents increase in Sydney’s property market when the law was first changed?
- What vacancy rate will give you an “exceptional” rent increase?
- How long does it take to build a new dwelling?
- Why does negative gearing impact supply and demand?
- How long will the absorption of rental prices likely take?
- What’s a “needs” renter versus a “choice” renter?
- How many people divorce per year? (And what does this have to do with property investing?)
- Why don’t tenants buy their own home?
- What does the data suggest about who is migrating to our country?
- What type of tenant is often overlooked?

Bonusisode – Negative Gearing Policy removed from Labor’s Homepage
Folks, if you haven’t noticed the level of activities that had been happening on our show recently, there were heaps of things going on regarding Labor’s Proposed Negative Gearing policies.
Long story short.. Two weeks ago, Ben as the Chair of Property Investors Council of Australia (PICA), discovered that Labor and the Parliamentary Budgeting Office (PBO) had been using incorrect data in their costing for the proposed Negative Gearing Policy.
Since then, Ben had been speaking to researchers, aggregators, politicians, lenders and real estate agents to find out what’s the actual rate of investors that are buying brand new properties vs existing ones. So far, it’s been found that the proposed Negative gearing savings could be overstated by up to $8 billion. This again highlights the importance of having the right data.
So last week, Ben was on the Money News Show with Ross Greenwood to discuss further about this discovery and he was also invited to the Housing Industry Forum to share his point of view as Chair of PICA.
And it looks like, he’s finally made an impact because now, you couldn’t find much information on the policy on ALP’s website!
We’re very excited that Labor and the PBO are updating their costing with good data now but the work’s not done. It’s important to include subject matter experts like the Master Builders Australia, Housing Industry Association, Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA), Property Council, Property Investment Professionals of Australia (PIPA), PICA and others to craft this policy together.
Again, as we mentioned before, we’re NOT against Labor.
We are NOT saying that we should leave Negative Gearing unchanged.
We are against the ill-prepared policy here. And if you agree with us, please share this with your network and hopefully, common sense would prevail.
Bonusisode with Ross Greenwood on the Money News!
Yes you’ve heard it right yesterday! Ben was on the Money News with Ross Greenwood!
Folks, if you haven’t tune in to the Money News yet, do yourself a favor and check out their podcast. We tune in to the Money News almost every day and with multiple highlights throughout the day, it really helps you to stay up to date to what’s happening in Australia and globally.
So, why was Ben on the Money News show?
Well, as the Chair of PICA and also the one who exposed the data that were used for the proposed Negative Gearing policy, Ben was invited to share some of his findings.
And the team at Money News has generously allowed us access to the audio to share with you guys! What are you waiting for? Tune in now to find out more.
p.s. Don’t miss out the Q&A session at the 8:30 minutes mark as well! 😉

Buy utility, rent luxury.

Bryce and Ben have been providing me with free property education each and every week. They start from the beginning and lay out the who, what where, when and how of investing in property. Being a frequent listener of their podcasts and also a reader of their book, I have gained so much confidence and feel education enough to take the next step and begin looking for my investment savvy team! In addition – these guys have a great yarn, share some incredible dad jokes (yes, you Ben!), interview intelligent, professional, positive people and they’ve even lead me in the direction of self motivation; pointing me to the likes of Zig Ziglar. The Property Couch has become part of my life an I thank you gents and Ivise for providing such a great podcast for people to better their financial situations! I’ve recommended the podcast and your book to friend and family! – Cory on iTunes, June 2016
