So we’re saying…. swimming pools are bad?!

Building off last week’s episode on the advantages of using a Buyers Agent, we’re looking at the 4 ways an investor will pay…

Buying the wrong _____
By falling into THIS habit
By ____too much
By acquiring THIS information

We’ll be explaining why swimming pools can mean trouble for investors…

(Just like Bryce’s elevator situation from his first investment – listen in so you don’t make the same mistake!)

Sharing personal experiences and client stories AND delving more into how the Property Investment Professionals of Australia (PIPA) can help provide credible advice!

Now, it’s up to you which way you pay (hint: We think you’ll want the fourth option), but we’re unpacking what each method will mean over the long term.

PLUS we’re highlighting WHERE you should avoid having an ego explosion and linking it to lessons learned in previous episodes.

Is this the first episode you’re listening to? We recommend going back to the start and listening on 1.2x speed – we promise it’ll help you build your knowledge waaay faster!

But if you’re up to date – congrats! Tune in now to best understand your options when buying a property!

Also, The Property Couch is hoping to get nominated for the Investor’s Choice Award 2015 for the category: Property Educator/Mentor. We would like to spread the word on the podcast so that we can help more people avoid making bad investment choices and avoid buying the wrong asset!!

Four Ways a Property Investor will Pay

By Bryce Holdaway July 10, 2015 in Free Resources, Property Investment, Videos

With all the educational materials from this podcast to articles and videos that Bryce and Ben provides, a lot of property investors have an impression that we are encouraging them to DIY when it comes to investing in property. The fact is, we are not. Instead, what we are hoping to achieve is to raise awareness on how the industry works and help investors understand the process more and hopefully, when their advisor consulted them on an issue, the investors would make a better decision. So in this video, Bryce explains what are the Four Ways a Property Investor will Pay. Start watching it today.

015 | Case study: Property Investing in Australia

While we’ve been sharing tons of wisdom with you over the past few weeks…

Today we’re putting knowledge into practice with the podcast’s first case study from Aaron, a valued listener of The Property Couch!

Aaron asks:

“Why do some apartments that seem to tick all the boxes just don’t appreciate in price over time? 🤔

This block at Brunswick is close to the public transport, schools, cafes and lifestyle but based on the comparable sales, the apartments have only achieved very little, if any, price gain since 2010.

Your podcast has been saying “Location First, Property Next”, but I’m confused with this property.

Why is this place so cheap? If it’s because of the property itself, does it mean the location is not always the biggest factor?

And finally, should investors seriously consider properties like this or stay clear?”

We’re unpacking each question and running through the 3 crucial filters you need to be applying to every property…

This includes explaining how this property might appear to tick all the boxes, but why it’s actually scoring none! If you are interested in investing in apartments, check out Episode 7 as well where we talked about investing in One Bedroom and Studio Apartments.

We’ll also be sharing who the #1 person you must impress as a property investor is, and what shine over size means!

So strap in folks, we’re doing a deep dive into this multi-layered question!

Should You Be A Borderless Investor?

By Bryce Holdaway June 9, 2015 in Free Resources, Property Investment, Videos

There are many pros and cons in investing in other states across Australia but more often than not, investors find this a bit daunting. Well, to be fair, there are a lot of things to be cautious about such as unfamiliar territory, different state regulations and more. But in this video, Bryce explains why you should consider being a borderless investor. Here’s a snippet of the article:

So I guess the question for property investors are, should you be a borderless investor and what does that actually mean? More than ever, I’m talking to clients who are keen to not invest in their own backyard and actually look into other states for opportunities to buy because one of the biggest question that I’m always asked, in my role in the show (Location Location Location Australia) and my daily role as a buyers agent, is how is the market doing? It’s kind of a strange question because it’s probably a logical one that people want to know about. But the question is, are you buying? Are you selling? Are you investing? Are you researching?
