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.

Should You Be A Borderless Investor?

By Bryce Holdaway June 9, 2015 in Free Resources, Property Investment, Videos

There are many pros and cons in investing in other states across Australia but more often than not, investors find this a bit daunting. Well, to be fair, there are a lot of things to be cautious about such as unfamiliar territory, different state regulations and more. But in this video, Bryce explains why you should consider being a borderless investor. Here’s a snippet of the article:

So I guess the question for property investors are, should you be a borderless investor and what does that actually mean? More than ever, I’m talking to clients who are keen to not invest in their own backyard and actually look into other states for opportunities to buy because one of the biggest question that I’m always asked, in my role in the show (Location Location Location Australia) and my daily role as a buyers agent, is how is the market doing? It’s kind of a strange question because it’s probably a logical one that people want to know about. But the question is, are you buying? Are you selling? Are you investing? Are you researching?

009 | Buying Counter Cyclical

Buying in a heated market is kinda like jumping off a cliff because everyone else is jumping…

…many investors start buying any old investor stock (Call it a classic case of the FOMO), but the problem is, how do you know that a heated market hasn’t already reached its peak before you even jump in?

The answer is: Sometimes to get ahead, you’ve got to take the road (or cliff) less travelled! (We might be going overboard with this analogy)

In this case, it’s using a counter-cyclical strategy.

Today we’ll be exploring what this is, the benefits it can bring, and how becoming a borderless investor could be best for you!

But remember folks: Each state has its own cycle, and it’s not always easy to tell WHERE the market currently is!

To help you determine this, we’re sharing a fantastic resource called CoreLogic Monthly Housing & Economic Chart Pack. This pack allows you to see how each state’s property market has performed over the past 30 years! (Just click on the image to download the report now!)

The message today folks is it’s all about market timing and avoiding making rash decisions. To learn how to navigate both, listen in now!
