We’re pretty chuffed to announce that Damien Cooley, one of Australia’s most respected auctioneers and the face of Cooley Auctions, has landed a spot on the couch! For those not in the know: Damien holds the Australian record for the highest sale of a single dwelling home sold at auction—no easy feat at $23 Million—and is the most booked auctioneer on The Block, having appeared on the show nine times.

In fact, we were SO chuffed to have Damien on the couch that Bryce and Ben just didn’t want him to leave. There are golden auction tips pouring out like a long string of confetti in this one guys! (Damien was almost late to the set of The Block, he was so pumped to give you all his insight!)

So here is Part One, people.

Unpacking his property prowess with us, Damien reveals the importance of keeping lists, debunk some auction myths and explains why he’s more than just “The Guy in the Orange Tie on The Block”.

Together, he and the boys will cover:

How jotting your dreams on paper will write tomorrow’s reality
How he left high school to become one of the best auctioneers in the country
How Damien managed to score that impressive $23 million auction record (Hint: it has something to do with $50,000)
How to work out if an external auctioneer is right for you

This one’s a big one guys! The take home (out of the many):

If you go to work on your plan, your plan will work for you.

119 | The Power of Compounding

Smart Money Management. Savings. Leverage. Compounding interest.

That is basically what we are talking about in today’s podcast as inspired by two of our listeners who wrote in. Now, rewind a few episodes, and you’ll find the boys quoting Albert Einstein famous words, “Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it… he who doesn’t… pays it.” And today’s focus is all about getting the foundation RIGHT, finding the SWEET spot for your money management habits and understanding WHAT delayed gratification is all about.

One of the questions that we asked the listeners today is,

Would you take a million today or take a cent now and double the amount every day for the next 30 days?

Tune in to find out the numbers behind this question and here are the Free Resources mentioned in today’s podcast:

Just in case you’re wondering, here’s what the two listeners wrote in:

From Chris:

Hey guys. Love the podcast. I’ve told so many people about you guys. Out their flying the flag. One day I’ll probably knock on your door for a job. Seriously.

I find that one of the biggest advantages/disadvantages to building wealth can of be determined as to whether you are or aren’t on the same page as your partner when it comes to finance and household spending. I meet so many people in life who are either money savvy (to some degree) or they just aren’t. I love that we all have different passions in life, it makes the world go round, but wouldn’t it make life, relationships and wealth building easier if we all LOVED the concept of making our money work harder for us. We were all money SMART 🙂 *Thanks rubbish Australian education curriculum!

So my challenge is to you. Not an easy one. Do one podcast that in the most effective mainstream fashion, gives those that aren’t ‘interested’ yet, just a taste of how they MUST be money smart. Because…it is not actually that hard, how it can impact their lives so dramatically and how they should take a bigger interest in how to make their money work for them now if they want options of living a wonderful life. A life of experiences. Inspire them. One podcast I can make my loved ones listen to, to try flick that switch in them to take more control of their finances with joy. Like when I read Rich Dad Poor Dad. I know how amazing compound interest is, I know how amazing leverage is, but so many people just don’t. Therefore they don’t know why they should be delaying gratification. So they simply choose to spend.

In a time that is crazy busy for you guys building a business and living your own family lives, well done on giving so much back to society. You will never know how great an impact you have had on generations to come.

From Greg:

Hi Guys

I just watched the first video you’ve done with realestate.com.au. Congratulations on the partnership and great work as usual.

Just one comment on the first video. The savings/investment glass got filled with what was left over. This goes against many of the gurus (The Richest Man in Babylon, Robert Kiyosaki etc) who all say “pay yourself first”. So, in the video, the savings/investment glass should have its share first (whatever amount the person has decided) and then the other glasses divide up what’s left over.

Keep up the great work.

115 | What Does The 2017 Federal Budget Mean To The Property Market?

By The Property Couch May 11, 2017 in Podcast

Subscribe On Itunes Subscribe On Android

What a week! Apologies for the podcast’s downtown earlier this week and thank you to those of you who wrote in to us. We had a system update and things didn’t quite work out as we wanted them to be. That aside, the 2017 Federal Budget has been released just a couple of days ago. So let’s talk about that.

There were a few proposals relating to the affordability issue and a couple more that aims at the property investors pool. But overall, this was not an overly exciting budget. It was a conservative one. Nonetheless, what impact will if have on property owners and the Australian Property Market in general. Some of the issues that Bryce and Ben discussed in today’s episode are:

The proposed changes to depreciation deductions for plant and equipment
Capital Gains Tax exemption for foreign and temporary tax residents
Investors’ travel expenses claims
The implementation of First Home Super Saver Scheme and is it a good idea
The expanded audit on overseas investors

If you would like to understand more about the 2017 Federal Budget, please check out this link.

We’ve also answered a few questions from:

Joel on the First Home Super Saver Scheme: Hi property couch crew! Since the website is down ill throw my question for the next Q&A here. A good one of the younger generation first home buyers as well as parents. My question relates to the announcement of the first home buyers saving scheme announced in the budget, with the tax break through superannuation. Being someone who has been taught in uni and at home by my parents not to touch my super and add extra payments where possible, is this scheme of accessing it for a house deposit reasonable? I see the tax break being a great idea but opening the idea of people taking there super to buy a house they cant save for rings alarm bells for me. Do i have the correct understanding of it all? Would you recommend another way?

Leo on property valuation: Hi Ben & Bryce – (and the Stig!), I cannot thank you enough for the endless amount of value that you provide for your listeners. Your content is conversational and easy to understand even for a first-time investor like myself.
I have a suggestion that may also benefit other listeners. I have recently purchased my first investment at 23 years old. It is an existing (3 bed, brick and tile) property and I am in the process of planning a cosmetic renovation. My question is – When refinancing against an existing asset, do all property valuers have a set agenda when valuing your property? Since all valuers will have a different opinion on price, is there a similar set of factors they look at? (i.e Condition of kitchen, bathroom, flooring etc) – going on from this, Is there ways you can make your property more appealing to a valuer in order to gain a higher valuation to leverage onto the next investment? Thanks alot guys – I appreciate your work!

Derek on bookkeeping for investors: Something that isn’t as widely discussed in the field of real estate is book keeping. You guys mention the need to spend 10 hours or so per year to review each property in a portfolio. Can you dive into greater detail as to what exactly this entails? What sort of information do we need to keep track of and is that done through spreadsheets or specific software?
