Guess who’s back folks??!

… Our very dear friend, Australian Property Expert and THE person you want on your side if you’re planning on renovating for profit… Jane Slack-Smith, Founder of Your Property Success and The Ultimate Guide to Renovation!!!

Not only has Jane built an impressive multimillion dollar portfolio of her own, but also this ex-Explosive Engineer (she’s a very smart cookie) has been equally successful at transforming her own clients’ lives, particularly when it comes to property investment education and strategic renovation.

210 | John Hartill – How to Recover from Making Every Mistake Possible in the Investing Game

Folks, our Summer Series continues with ANOTHER ripper guest! And not only is today’s guest a very special TPC listener (!!) but also…. he is a REAL LIFE INVESTOR!

But there’s a problem…

John Hartill has learnt a lot of things the hard way. Unfortunately, he made mistakes along the way that, if we’re being completely honest, have cost him a small fortune. Over his property investment journey (expanding a couple of decades now) John has been spruiked to, sold to and, sadly, bought really bad properties.

The fact is… He’s tried every property investment strategy under the sun — buying house and land packages, developing property, renovating, investing in positively geared property — you name it folks!

And as a result, John’s had to learn the true cost of holding property and what’s at stake if you get your advice for free, buy Off the Plan or jump in without the correct education to support you.

And he’s here to share his personal story so that YOU can avoid making the same mistakes.

Here’s the gold…

How did John get into property in the first place?
What was the first mistake he made?
And how much is that property worth now?
What interest was John paying on his loan for his first property?
How was his cash flow management affected?
Could he continue investing while also being self-employed?
Why is location so important in investing in property?
What were the costs of selling property?
What were to costs of holding onto poor performing property?
What Spruiker tactics were used on John?
What would John do differently?
How is his portfolio performing now?
Is he using the Money SMARTS system?
When does he want to retire?
In all likelihood, was John’s profit a real one or a “paper profit”? Why?
What were the other property investment mistakes John made?
How can you fix bad property investment decisions?
Why isn’t free advice a good idea??

With 2019 officially off the ground, we thought we’d organise a reunion with our good friend “Ronnie”… A.K.A the one and only Veronica Morgan, who is ABSOLUTELY qualified to give you the heads up on how to find an investment grade asset in this Buyer’s Market!

( Shhhh… don’t tell her we called her “Ronnie” here 😉 )

Folks, if you’ve been listening to us for a little while now, it’ll come as no surprise that Veronica Morgan was Bryce’s co-host back in the days of Location, Location, Location Australia and Relocation, Relocation on Foxtel’s Lifestyle Channel! Yep, you might have heard her previous eps on the Couch — Episode 76 | Building a property portfolio after the boom and Episode 161 | How to Buy Property Like a Pro!

But this (and the friendly banter) is only half of the reason we love listening to what Veronica has to say about the Aus.

Folks, The Summer Series continues, this time in the shadow of Christmas… BUT that doesn’t mean we’ve stopped gifting very special guests!!

Joining us today is no stranger to property investment or The Property Couch… Pete Wargent!!

You might remember him back on Episode 139 | Pete Wargent, Multimillionaire at Age 33: How did he do it?

And that title explains a lot of what Pete’s about — achieving financial independence. And, yep, he personally did it for himself at the ripe age of 33 too.

To give you an idea of Pete’s background: during his professional career, he qualified as a Chartered Accountant in London and was previously a Director at the ‘Big 4’ accounting firm, Deloitte. He indeed walks the talk when it comes to investing and he gratefully parked his career in accountancy, having achieved early financial freedom, as detailed in his first best-selling book, Get a Financial Grip: a simple plan for financial freedom.

And he’s here to talk all things data, the future of the Australian property market and the impacts of Labor’s proposed changes to Negative Gearing, as outlined in his recent report.

Here’s what you can expect…

If you’re investing for the long term, what do you need to keep in mind?
Why is it not the best to invest in property for the short term?
When does property outperform shares?
What happened in Britain that was similar to the Banking Royal Commission?
When are we likely to see a loosening in lending?
Why is the lending environment like a “pendulum”?
What does Pete think about the proposed changes to Negative Gearing?
What did Pete’s co-written report show might happen if this policy is introduced?
Will changes to negative gearing work?
Why might the change to negative gearing create a two-tiered market?
What can investors do if negative gearing is changed?
Why will yields increase?
Is it wise to think construction will increase if house prices fall?
What’s Pete advice to his clients right now?
What are the unintended consequences of Labor’s policy?
What are the politics of the policy
Will it affect stamp duty?
Tips to help increase cashflow!
Will Pete be buying property in the current market?
What city is likely to have the strongest economy in 2019?
What’s the ‘population pyramid’ Pete talks about?
