The Property Investment Formula That Works In ANY Market And At ANY Time!

If there’s just one framework you should focus your attention on if you want to be a successful property investor… please make it this one!

Folks, in today’s episode we’re revealing THE Property Investment Formula you need, not just in your toolkit, but also what you must implement if you want to build a multimillion-dollar property portfolio that creates a passive income for yourself and your loved ones!

Our Property Investment Formula is made up of FOUR critical elements – what we call our our “A.B.C.D.” Pillars of Mastery – and it works in ANY market and at ANY time… (yep!)… ‘cos this is an evergreen formula to invest in property. It really will work today, tomorrow and forever. So make sure you get this framework RIGHT.

The “A.B.C.D” Pillars of Mastery are…

  • Asset Selection
  • Borrowing Power
  • Cashflow Management
  • Defence

BUT while this “A.B.C.D” Acronym makes it super easy for you to remember… these Pillars are NOT in their correct order as you would apply them in real life… so, please NEVER start with the property (Asset Selection)!

We’re about to unpack what order to apply our “ABCD” Property Investment Formula and how to implement and what to consider in each individual Pillar.

This is one of our all-time favour frameworks and, yep, it is absolutely critical for every property investor, no matter what stage they are in!

Listen now to get the proven formula to invest in property that works in any market and at any time!

Bet $1 To Make $10 – How To Master Leverage And Compound Growth Without Risking It All

Have you ever wondered how to accelerate your wealth position without having to risk everything? If so, we have something very important to tell you in this episode that – let’s be real here – a lot of folks don’t actually know about.

Property Investors actually have a Superpower…. and that Superpower is LEVERAGE.

But it gets even better than that. Because if you add this superpower with another one – “The Compound Effect” – you’ll be sitting very pretty indeed! And these two fundamentals of investing are what make property such a safe and sustainable vehicle for wealth creation.

If you have no idea what we mean by “leverage” or “compounding”, that’s totally okay… ‘cos we’re about to fill you in on exactly what these terms mean and how they amplify your ability to create a passive income for life.

Plus, we’ll be walking you through WHO exactly property investors should have on their team as well as other investment choices you can consider instead of/as well as property!

Sound good?

Listen to now to learn how to master leverage and compound growth WITHOUT risking it all!

Questions We Answer…

Question 1: Janet on When should you update your plan? 

Hi Ben and Bryce, 

My husband and I are big fans of the podcast. 

We have learned so much listening to the both of you over the years. 

We’ve actually been to your team Empower Wealth in North Melbourne for financial planning and property investment advice and that was before our honeymoon. 

Now we have 1 child (14 months old) and 2 properties in, one principal place of residence and 1 investment. This was all factored in by your team as part of our lifestyle by design plan. 

There is a component to the plan which is to get our 3rd property in a few years time as investment towards our retirement plan. 

However, with the changing market, I’m starting to wonder if its time to bring things forward or we stick to the plan. 

So my question is once you’ve got a property investment and a retirement plan set up, how often would you recommend getting this revised and looked into? 

I would love to hear from you two and keep up the good work on the podcast. 

 

Question 2: Adam on Can you pass on interest rate rises to tenants quickly? 

Hi Boys, 

Love the show and thanks for all the tips and all the advice that you provide each week. 

My wife and I have 3 investment properties and given the market is a bit softening at the moment and there’s a lot of uncertainty out there, we think it’s really good time to try to buy again. So we can get a loan at the moment our broker confirmed to us that we can borrow at the moment. 

However, when I run our numbers on next year in  about 12 months time, our 3 properties that we do have at the moment are currently on the fix rate and we fix them at about 2% interest and all 3 come off their fix periods in about 12 months time. 

So if we did buy again now by fourth place, when the loan repayments we’ve got on the other 3 next year did it at fixed period, that’s more than $2000 a month extra in mortgage repayment will be up for so we’ll be in trouble if we borrow again right now so we’re a bit in a snag. 

I’m just curious in your thoughts, I think you’ve mentioned before in your show that the Australian economy, I think is about, $40B in residential loans that fixed at the moment with low interest rates  in the last few years and they’re all gonna be coming off fixed periods next year. 

So there’s gonna be a lot of people, lots of household all of a sudden have to find material amounts of money each month in extra loan repayments. For those who are investors like us, we can just wanna try to pass on a lot of these costs to our tenants and raise the rents that they are paying given there already is rental crisis across the country.  How do you see this playing out in the economy. 

If you have a lot of landlords all of a sudden wanting to put the rents up substantially because interest rates have blown up and loan repayments are higher, do you think we’ll be able to recover some this cost through increasing the rents at all?
 

Question 3: Michael on Interest Rates, Borrowing Capacities and long term impact on price growth 

Good day Ben and Bryce. 

Hope you’re both well. 

Ben, condolences on the loss to Sydney, mate.  I know that’s probably a tough one. 

My question to you both is regarding to the overall pricing of housing and I know it’s broad question but with regards to the correlation between interest rates and the impact it have on borrowing capacity. 

I know there’s been peaks and troughs over the last 30 years but I’ve seen over time you know a gradual decrease on the amounts that we pay on the interest rates therefore our borrowing capacity increased. 

My question to you is that now that we’ve reached the bottom point where we’re on our way up, do you foresee that having a long term impact on the increase in housing value? 

I know there’s other factors in play but as far as borrowing capacity goes, I can see that there is quite a strong link in interest rates and the borrowing capacity. 

Just curious to get your thoughts on that and what’s the impact it will have. 

Thanks. 

 

Question 4: Karen on Borrowing Strategy – what is the optimal review? 

Hi Bryce and Ben, 

My name is Karen and I have a question about refinancing a principle place of residence and investment properties. We currently have a loan of credits on our principle place of residence.  

We used this loan of credit to purchase 3 investment properties and these 3 investment properties are all with different lenders. With the current interest rate rises and some of these loans coming off fixed interest, we are now wanting to refinance some of those. 

Our mortgage broker, this is my question for you, our mortgage broker is suggesting because of our age which we are 51 and 52 respectively, we have high disposable income because our children are all over 18 and that we combine all of our loan in to one big facility with AMP and have it split in to various splits and so our home loan on PNI and then the various investment properties as interest only. 

I’m really concerned with this approach because it goes against everything that I’ve listened to in your podcast today and I’m would just be really interested to hear what you have to say on the next approach. 

So basically the splits for the investment properties would be interest only and our principle place of residence P&I and she’s saying that this is the only way forward for us to be able to refinance the whole lot. 

Ideally, I’d like to keep the line of credit. 

I like the flexibility of it and I’d like to keep the investment properties with loans separate to our home.

406 | How to Beat the Banks at Their Own Game

Market sentiment is in a hairy place. 

Every day costs are rising, people are worried and purse strings are being pulled tighter.  

So how can you make sure you’re not leaving any money on the table?  

Well, from our experience, one of the biggest “money pits” people fall into is their mortgage loans. Specifically, folks don’t know how to find – and maintainthe best rate for them.  

Here’s the deal… 

When folks first start with their mortgages, all the banks are jumping with great offers. But it’s what happens after they’ve have been with a bank for a while that stumps them. 

How can they continue to stay on the best rates (and pay off your mortgage quicker) when banks are too busy offering their best deals only to new clients?!   

That’s why in today’s episode, Bryce & Ben are consolidating their insider’s knowledge and experience to give you the 7-lesson cheat sheet on… 

How to beat the banks at their own game.  

There’s tens of thousands of dollars on the line if you don’t play the mortgage game right, so tune in now! 😱😱😱
