The cash rate in Australia has never been lower and most mortgage holders are paying a lot less on their loans than they were a year ago. With banks being urged to lend more and consumers and business being urged to borrow, how likely are we to see rapid interest rate rises and will they ever get back to double digits?

That’s exactly what we’re chatting about in our Facebook LIVE with Nerida Conisbee, Chief Economist for REA Group.

 

Of course, that’s not the ONLY thing we chatted about. Here are some other things we discussed in this month’s Market Wrap:
** Why speculation is a nightmare for housing markets
** Where will interest rate go from here
** Can digital banks disrupt the home loan market
** The start of a price growth in Melbourne and Sydney
** Update on wage growth and unemployment numbers
** How are things going on the retail side of things and will the festive season brings a bit of positive outlook?
** And much more!

++ The most clicked on property going to AUCTION
++ The most clicked on property for SALE

A couple of weeks ago we had our regular Monthly Wrap Up with Nerida Conisbee, Chief Economist for REA Group. There are some amazing contents in this LIVE so we thought… why not share it with our community? 

 

As well as getting a “wrap” of the property market for the month of October, you’ll also get some very interesting insights into our economy (incl. where it just might go from here!)
 
We discuss:
** Will the cash rate get to ZERO?
** Is the oversupply in Sydney over?
** What’s happening with “Rent Control”? (and what does this mean for investors?)
** What is Quantitative Easing?
** Are the things that got us through the GFC currently present?

256 | From Gold Mine To Fool’s Gold: How This Property Investor Nearly Lost It All During The WA Mining Boom! – Chat with Rick Hockey

By in Podcast, Real Estate Agent

Subscribe On Itunes Subscribe On Android

Some investors learn things the hard way. And today’s guest Rick Hockey — property investor AND real estate agent specialising in The Pilbara region in far north Western Australia — is, unfortunately, one of these folks.

In this episode you’re about to get a completely raw look at what it was like to be INSIDE the mining boom that hung a lot of property investor’s out to dry. And you’re going to hear it from someone who was right in the thick of it, and did TWO things during this time…

(1) INVESTED in the WA property boom, and

(2) SOLD REAL ESTATE before, during and after the boom!

Here’s the story… back in 1980, Rick Hockey and his wife Bev made Port Hedland, a dusty but dynamic little town exporting some seriously big volumes of minerals all over the world… their home. And things were good. Really good, actually. Especially when Rick made the shift to working in real estate and then the mining scene boomed to deliver some of the highest rental returns we’ve ever seen — and people from all walks of life were practically climbing over each other to call a basic 4 bedroom house in regional Western Australia theirs. And why was everyone keen to jump in? Well, that simple property in the middle of not-a-whole-lot would put $3,000 PER WEEK in their bank!

And Rick, like many of the locals, invested in these properties too. Lots of them. And life was passive cashflow rolling in (literally hundreds and hundreds of thousands each year), selling million dollar houses, releasing equity and buying again, and again, and again. Everyone thought the mining boom, and these crazy returns would never end.

But then the huge orange trucks stopped turning up. And almost overnight, it seemed all of the tradies with their fat wallets did too. The price of iron ore plummeted. And, just like that, everything changed…

254 | NRL Star Unpacks His Money and Property Story – Chat with Matt Srama

By in Podcast

Subscribe On Itunes Subscribe On Android

Top athletes often have a big spike in their income over their lifetime. That is, at the top of their game they’re looking at earning some serious coin… but beyond that… their income can plummet right down, sometimes to ground zero. And things get a bit tricky if the skills they possess aren’t necessarily transferable to the workforce too!

So, folks, what we want to tackle in today’s episode is this… how does a top athlete — or anyone on a fluctuating income for that matter — juggle a small window of time where they’ve got access to more cash than they’ll potentially earn in the future?? How can they maximise this so they can set themselves up BEYOND their time in sport?

Here to help us answer this question, and unpack his money and property story, is someone who has been there, done that… Matt Srama!!!

For those playing at home who might not be familiar with who Matt Srama is… he’s a professional NRL rugby league player for the Gold Coast Titans who had to park his career at the ripe young age of 26 due to injury. Meaning… after a solid career in the NRL, he’s personally experienced with what it’s like to be back “in the real world”! And he’s going to share A LOT of this gold with you today… and folks… you’ll see why what he’s learnt has set him up to work in a development role for the Gold Coast Titans, where now he helps other young players navigate this space!

Oh, and if you’re one of our folks who… ahh… aren’t particularly chuffed with our footy banter… …then you can breathe a sigh of relief!! Because we promise this ep is NOT just sports talk! There’s some pearls of wisdom in here that we can ALL learn from and apply in our own lives 😉

Pssst… and, yep, we got a new intro!!!

 

Folks, we’re doing Relay For Life!!

On October 26th our office is donning our runners and active gear (let’s be honest… ol’ mate Kingsley will probably where his black and white stripes) to participate in Relay For Life to help raise much needed funds for Cancer Council!!

Our goal is to crack $5,000 so we can help fund ground-breaking research into new and better ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer! So if you’d like to chip in — even if it’s just a couple of bucks — we’d love it if you could donate to our team here.
