By Ben Kingsley June 12, 2015 in Free Resources, Videos

Ben Kingsley has recently appeared as a guest on ABC News 24 – The Weekend Breakfast show. He has appeared on this show a couple of times but this time the main focus is on the Property Bubble in Sydney and Melbourne. First of all, is there a bubble? Ben has mentioned in Episode 14 that it’s not a bubble but more like a balloon. Also, he has created a free report and presentation on the Top 10 Suburbs in Sydney in 2003 and what happened to them in 2007 to help our listeners understand what he meant. In this show, he discuss further on our Treasury Secretary, John Fraser’s remark that Sydney is “unequivocally” in a property bubble, impact of the interest rate movement on Australia’s household borrowing power and loan servicing in the future. He also mentioned that the historically low interest rate at the moment will not last forever and will the Property Market crash as the interest rate starts to rise?

It’s no surprise that Ben and Bryce are huge advocates of property investing but until now, they haven’t explained WHY they love it so much! 🏘︎

Today we’re taking a walk down memory lane and discussing why and how Ben and Bryce first got into the residential property market and why they’ve continued to stay!

From Ben’s early love of investing to Bryce’s captivation with Jan Somers’ back of napkin calculations, we’ll also hear about Ben’s “apprenticeship” years that’s made him the guru he is today!!

PLUS we’ll be looking at the fundamentals you should know about investing (Including how property can be BOTH a liquid and non-liquid asset, we know it’s a bit of a head-scratcher…

And applying those to Sydney and Melbourne markets today.

We’re sayin’ that this time – the rising time will NOT lift all ships!

In this podcast, Bryce and Ben also mention that based on CoreLogic’s “Pain and Gain” Report, properties held for shorter time periods are much more susceptible to loss. To read the full report, click the image to the right.
