With dwelling approvals remaining close to record high levels and the latest housing credit data suggesting a slowing investment credit growth, will this lead to an oversupply in the Australian property market? On top of that, how is the lending sector affected by the recent changes put in place by Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA)? All these factors are a cause for concern for most property investors especially when there is a lack of awareness in this industry.

So in this episode, Bryce Holdaway and Ben Kingsley will be discussing if our property market is oversupplied and which areas will be affected by this market movement. They will also be discussing the recent changes made by APRA, how will it impact property investors and what can investors do to ensure their property plan remains on track.

Not every state in Australia has an auction culture but we are seeing an increasing trend of it. In their everyday role as Buyers Agent and Property Investment Advisor, Bryce Holdaway and Ben Kingsley have seen many buyers who are either too afraid of the auction campaign or unsure of what to do in the process. Well, as Bryce mentioned in this podcast, auction is a necessary evil. It favours the seller and the agent. But ultimately, as a buyer, you shouldn’t be afraid of it. Do your due diligence and embrace it with confidence but never turn down an investment grade property simply because it’s going to auction.

So to help you guys out there who are currently searching for properties or are going for an auction this weekend, here are some tips for buying at auction from the property experts that can help you prepare for what to come.

022 | Q&A – Building & Pest Inspection, Rentvesting and Next Wage Growth Hotspot

By The Property Couch July 31, 2015 in Hot Market Tips, Podcast, Q&A

Its Questions and Answers time! Thanks for all the suggestions on new topics to cover in this podcast. For today’s episode, Bryce Holdaway and Ben Kingsley will be addressing questions from:

Building and Pest Inspection question from Mark : How do I find a good quality building and pest inspector and with the property market being so hot with auctions at the moment, how do I ensure I don’t burn through my deposit money when constantly missing out at auctions? I could end up wasting thousands on inspections until I actually win at auction! Should I try doing it myself and find a friend or family member with some building knowledge or use one of the smartphone apps?
Rentvesting question from Ryan : What are your thoughts on the property investor him or herself to buy and live in their own PPR or to rent? Obviously both have advantages, a place to call home or the ability to keep investing with out loosing potential borrowing capacity.
Next Wage Growth Hotspot from David : As mentioned on previous podcasts, investors will want to avoid “glass ceilings” in terms of capped wage growth in certain areas. Given the changing Australian economy (more knowledge-based), are there particular areas of Australia in which you expect to see wage growth occurring?

020 | Science of Asset Selection – The Buyer’s Decision Quadrant

Subscribe On Itunes Subscribe On Android

There are many factors at play when looking for an investment property, but did you know there’s actually a science behind selecting assets?

Yep that’s right folks! This science is called: The Buyers Decision Quadrant!

It’s made up of…

Price
Location
Land proportion
Quality of Dwelling

We’ll explain what each one means, and while the concept is quite simple, the real achievement is understanding which part of the quadrant you are willing to compromise on and which is non-negotiable.

We’re also looking at some great case studies (one of which was a fictional case study…until this case study rang up Bryce to share her almost exact financial and personal story!!)…

And comparing 1970s and 1990s apartments, and which one has fared better over time!

Folks, it is rare for an investment property to tick all the boxes, and most of the time, you will need to journey through the Buyers Decision Quadrant to make the right decision for you!

So keep this episode on repeat ‘cos we think this one will help with making those hard decisions again and again!

Also, The Property Couch is hoping to get nominated for the Investor’s Choice Award 2015 for the category: Property Educator/Mentor. We would like to spread the word out on the podcast so that we can help more people avoid making bad investment choices and avoid buying the wrong asset. So if you think we are doing a good job, please do nominate us here.
