This week on the Property Couch, we’ve invited Carolyn Wright from Your Property Manager to talk about her own personal experience as a property investor. Bryce and Ben will also be sharing the lessons that most property investors learn along the way, particularly during the post purchase process.

Getting a property portfolio plan and buying an investment property is only half of the whole journey. At the end of the day, if tenants aren’t moving in, then you could potentially be facing a fair amount of out-of-pocket expenses. That is why having a property manager and understanding the process that they go through is important. Unfortunately, a lot of investors feel otherwise. Start listening to this podcast to find out what our hosts and Carolyn have gone through both as property investors themselves and in their professional role.

The Property Couch has reached Episode 30! To celebrate this, we’ve got The Property Professor, Peter Koulizos joining us to talk about the Five Golden Rules of Property Investment. Peter comes with a high pedigree in property investment, holding a teaching degree, Graduate Diploma in Property and Masters of Business (Property) and specialises in property valuation and property economics. Combining Peter’s background with Bryce’s role as a Buyers Agent and Ben’s knowledge in Mortgage Broking and you have a great team of property investment insiders who shares the same passion when it comes to wealth education.

The first golden rule from this trio, is never compromise on location. We’ve emphasized this a lot of times and have also previously mentioned about it on the Buyers Decision Quadrant episode. But time and time again, we see investors making the same old mistake and their argument usually evolves around the land size, affordability and depreciation benefits.

Find out the rest of the Golden Rules of Property Investment in the podcast.

029 | Common Mistakes when Investing in Property

We’ve all made mistakes in life. Some are relatively harmless but when it comes to high value transactions such as investing in property, the stakes are higher. So this time on The Property Couch podcast, Bryce Holdaway and Ben Kingsley list out a few common mistakes that they’ve seen people make in their investment journey.

The first mistake is underestimating the importance of having a good lending strategy and structure. One investment property will not be sufficient to provide you with a self funded retirement so in time, you will need to buy another one and if you messed up your lending structure from the start, you might not be able to achieve your full potential in your portfolio. One of the common regret that Bryce and Ben have heard before is the investor’s drive to look for lenders that offer them the least interest payable has clouded their decision for better borrowing power and eventually, a better asset.

Listen to this podcast to find out the other four mistakes that a property investor often make.
