Back to back Questions and Answers episode! We’ve had a great time yesterday on our Facebook Live and hence we thought we should answer some of our other listeners’ questions. This week, Bryce and Ben looks at the questions below. Thanks again for submitting your questions!:

Question on entering the property market from Glenn: I have 2 daughters in their early 20’s. What advice can you give them on the best way to enter the property market? Thanks

Question on buying a property with another person from Stevie: I am interesting in the issues associated with buying property with another person. For example, I currently own two houses (bought years ago) with my brother as investments and I now want to buy another within to live in (as I can’t get a loan with just my salary and want to use the equity in the houses in lieu of deposit). This will then restrict my brother’s borrowing capacity to buy a property to live in if he wants to do so in a year or so, and we are at a bit of a (friendly) stalemate with what to do about it – buy another or not.

Question on Buying a property with another person from Michael: Hey guys – just wanted to say I’m loving the podcast. Found it about a week ago, have listened to hours of content in a short amount of time. Such a great resource. Has been good to hear that a lot of my ideas and research is being validated in what you’re saying, but has also given me some other things to think about. I’m about to buy my first property in partnership with my cousin, am making an offer today on a great find that’s too good to pass up. 15km north west of the Melbourne CBD. $150k under median price in the area. Quick sale needed as the vendor needs finance asap. Just wondering, what would be a bad figure in terms of rental yield and annual growth? And then I guess what would be the better figures to see? Thanks again for such a great learning tool.

Question on rentvesting from Samuel: I am very open to the idea of Rentvesting, however I am torn between Rentvesting or purchasing a Principle Place of Residence, of which I would live in for 12 months and then be rent out for 6 years (thus avoiding CGT), plus rent out the other room/s whilst living in the property. I would love to hear both your thoughts on this one given the current market conditions and also the Gold Coast Suns performance this year.

It’s Episode 60 and we’ve got a special guest on the show today! Bryce and Ben have invited Chris Gray, host of ‘Your Property Empire’, on Sky News Business Channel and CEO of Empire Property to talk about all things property.

Apart from being a property expert, Chris also manages his own property portfolio and is currently a rentvestor. In fact, he has been rentvesting for quite some time. So, drawing from his experience, the three of them will be discussing about:

How did he built his property portfolio through rentvesting
The considerations that an investor will need to think about if they decide to adopt this investment strategy
The required mindset for rentvestors
The scenarios where rentvesting is worth implementing
What kind of expectation you would get from family and friends
How to look at the numbers and ensure your cash flow is taken care of

They will also be discussing about the lessons learned along the way and what they think about the current Australian Property Market. If you are interested in the Capital Growth Break Even Calculator mentioned in this podcast, just fill in the form below and we’ll send it to you right away:

55 | Investment savvy mortgage broker and why interest rate is not king?

By The Property Couch March 17, 2016 in Podcast

Subscribe On Itunes Subscribe On Android

The last time we did a podcast on finding a mortgage broker was in Episode 43. We’ve received a lot of feedback after that episode on what kind of questions the borrower should ask to determine if the broker they are speaking to is investment savvy and if there are any websites that sort of serve as a directory.

So this time around, our hosts will be sharing a framework to help you understand the difference between a banker and an investment savvy mortgage broker. They will also be focusing on the differences between lenders and things to look out for between the lenders. Lastly, they’ll discuss the all time question on, “Why is interest rate NOT king?”.

054 | Q&A – Entry into the property investment market, debt reduction and investing in house and land packages

It’s Q&A time! This week on The Property Couch, Bryce Holdaway and Ben Kingsley will be answering the questions below from our fellow listeners. Thanks again for submitting your questions!

Entry into the property investment market question from Aaron: Hi guys! could you possibly talk about entry into the property investment market? Specifically how much money you need? I have some money sitting in a term deposit but I have heard that you need more like $40,000 before you can even look at starting out. If that’s true, then I need to keep saving. But I keep thinking to myself “what if its better to start investing that money into cheaper property so that you can start investing sooner rather than later”. How much money should people have before starting?

Debt reduction questions from Marty: I have just finished the new book and found the content informative and practical. I do however find myself grasping for answers about debt pay down in the practical section. How does the graph move to a zero debt position on IOnly loans? I would like some more detail on this area as it’s probably the missing link for me in the whole process. In case study three a couple with surplus annual income of 36k Pays 1,000,000 in principle in 10 years with IO loans. The property selections are not high yielding so I’d expect the cash flow to be only just positive even at year 15. Am I missing something?

Debt reduction questions from Mitch: Hey guys. Love your podcasts and your book. Just a quick question about paying down debt to start receiving passive income. In your book you say to set up all loans to interest only, if I want to retire off passive income at the age of 40 how do I pay down debt without selling any properties and without access to my superannuation?

House and land packages question from Rob: Hi Guys, love the podcast – I’m an avid listener and after finding you, went back to Ep 1 and went through them all. I’m just about to place an order on the book… Fundamental Question: Is a house and land package always a bad investment, or are there situations it can work as an investment property?

For the last episode of 2015 and as promised for our Summer Series, we will be going through quite a few questions! Bryce Holdaway and Ben Kingsley will be answering the questions below from our fellow listeners. It’s going to a full on one so sit tight! 🙂 :

Building cash reserve question from Maria : Can you please discuss how to build cash reserve buffers into your property investment plan, and the options for funding unexpected large expenses like medical expenses and family needing financial assistance.

Investing on the suburb next-door questions from Peter : Is investing in a lower priced residential suburb surrounded by higher value median suburbs a good investment strategy? With hope that property you’ve invested in will eventually go up in price? Granted that suburb also has all the necessary amenities close by such as public transport, schools, small shops etc.

Property professionals question from Josie : I have been listening to your podcasts which I find really interesting and informative. I am really interested in buying an investment property and am currently looking at the best way for me to do this. I am currently talking with my finance adviser and accountant to establish the best way to do this, ie, through a self managed super fund or using my own home which I own as capital. As you mentioned in your pod cast, are these the right people to get property advice from. Would appreciate your thoughts

Loan structure question from Mark: Love the podcast and have been a loyal listener since the first few episodes. My partner and I have recently purchased our first new home and are considering putting our loan repayments to interest only and banking the money we would be paying off the principal in an offset account. We want to get an investment property and start building a portfolio and see this as a way of saving money quickly. What do you guys think?
Investment strategy question from Rick: Over the years, I have been advised to buy in quality, blue chip and desirable areas with a proven growth history which aligns to Empower Wealth’s strategy. The downside is that it is priced at a premium and the cash flow is usually poor which hampers an investor’s ability to build their asset base until the rental income improves.
Becoming a Buyers Agent question from Daniel: What does one need to do, to become a buyers agent? What schooling/qualifications are needed to become one?
Renovating for profit question from Sylwia: Hi there, I am looking to get into renovating for profit in the nearest future. I am at the stage of educating myself and would love to hear from you Gents about renovating for profit as an investment strategy: renovating to rent vs renovating to sell, buying the right property at the right price, good sources of information, dangers and traps of renovating as a strategy, property “flipping” e.t.c. I look forward to hearing you point of view on this topic.
