45 | Why Should You Conduct a Pre-Purchase Building Inspection and What Could Go Wrong? – Chat with Paul Baker

Welcome to The Property Couch’s first episode in 2016! Joining us on the podcast today is Paul Baker from Inside Out Property Inspections.

As mentioned in Episode 22 and Bryce’s video on “When to conduct a building and pest inspection“, pre-purchase building inspections are non-negotiable for us. We cannot emphasise enough the consequences of buying a property only to discover later on that a lot more money has to be put in to ensure its livability. Not only will this impact the investor’s cash flow but it will also affect any property plans that have been put in place.

Leveraging Paul’s background as a building inspector and builder, Bryce and Ben will chat about:

Why a pre-purchase building inspection is so important
The obvious tell-tale signs of water damage, footing and stumping issues
How much a buyer should expect to spend on an inspection
When an inspection should be conducted
Best way to decipher a building report
A few horror stories from IPI’s Book of Horror!

And here are the pictures as promised in the podcast!

039 | Post-Purchase Process for Investment Properties

As mentioned before, getting the right strategy and perfecting the art of asset selection is crucial to any property investors. But what happens once the contract is signed? This time on The Property Couch, Bryce Holdaway and Ben Kingsley talks about the post-purchase process when buying an investment property.

Bryce started off the podcast with an analogy. Imagine you on board a plane and it’s about to depart. When a plane takes off, from the moment it leaves the tarmac to the point it levels out at 30,000 feet, that’s when it uses most of its fuel. That’s the same with property investors. They use most of their mental fuel when they are going to buy the property but once the deal is done, most often forget that they still have the rest of the journey to complete.

022 | Q&A – Building & Pest Inspection, Rentvesting and Next Wage Growth Hotspot

By The Property Couch July 31, 2015 in Hot Market Tips, Podcast, Q&A

Its Questions and Answers time! Thanks for all the suggestions on new topics to cover in this podcast. For today’s episode, Bryce Holdaway and Ben Kingsley will be addressing questions from:

Building and Pest Inspection question from Mark : How do I find a good quality building and pest inspector and with the property market being so hot with auctions at the moment, how do I ensure I don’t burn through my deposit money when constantly missing out at auctions? I could end up wasting thousands on inspections until I actually win at auction! Should I try doing it myself and find a friend or family member with some building knowledge or use one of the smartphone apps?
Rentvesting question from Ryan : What are your thoughts on the property investor him or herself to buy and live in their own PPR or to rent? Obviously both have advantages, a place to call home or the ability to keep investing with out loosing potential borrowing capacity.
Next Wage Growth Hotspot from David : As mentioned on previous podcasts, investors will want to avoid “glass ceilings” in terms of capped wage growth in certain areas. Given the changing Australian economy (more knowledge-based), are there particular areas of Australia in which you expect to see wage growth occurring?
