Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast

Predicting the future of the property markets is a challenging task, especially when there are so many mixed messages and conflicting information available. So welcome to this month's Big Picture podcast where Pete Wargent and I explore the macroeconomic factors that are currently impacting the Australian property markets. As usual, we'll cover everything from interest rates, inflation, consumer sentiment, and government policies, and explore how they affect supply and demand, property values, and market conditions and we'll highlight the factors that we think you should understand. Whether you're a seasoned investor or simply interested in the health of the property market, today's show will provide you with valuable insights and expert analysis of the big picture. The Big Picture with Pete Wargent If you would have asked me this time last year, I wouldn't have thought we would be talking about an inflation rate of close to 8%, 9 consecutive interest rate rises, and that the war overseas which had just commenced would still be raging. And considering the upbeat state of our markets last year and the fact that we were emerging from Covid, I would not have thought Australian consumer confidence would be at historic lows 12 months down the track. But here we are. Predicting the future direction of our property markers seems to be more challenging than it has been for a long time. There are so many conflicting messages and so much conflicting information out there. On the one hand, we have experts who believe we are nearing the bottom of this.

We all want a stronger and more competitive economy in Australia, don't we? The current state of globalization, digital disruption, and population aging is causing significant economic pressure on countries around the world. And as a property investor or business owner, this could hurt your bottom line. However, Australia has an ace up its sleeve - migrants! Immigration is one of the key drivers of innovation and economic growth in Australia today and has been for more than a century. Having diverse peoples come to our shores fuels ideas, markets, and much-needed skills that help transform our economy into a powerhouse. But there's another important part about immigration – future citizens, those migrating now help shape who we are tomorrow. Today I discuss why Australia needs more migrants and future citizens, with leading demographer, Simon Kuestenmacher, and I believe this is important for you to understand is a property investor, so welcome to today's show.

Well, my guest today, Dr. Arun Dhār, wants you to know that Your Mess has a Message. Now you probably subscribe to this podcast to learn about property, finance, success or wealth, but true wealth is more than how many properties you have or how much money you have in the bank.

Today I'd like to share how I'll be investing in 2023 and how our team at Metropole will be helping our clients invest in property in 2023. Whether you're new to the game or you've already built a property portfolio you're likely to benefit from what I'm about to share. That's because initially, I'm going to share some of the frameworks that will be relevant no matter where you are in your investment journey, and even if you've heard them before they may be a good reference point or offer a new perspective from which to think about your own plans and what you could be doing. And then I'm going to share some concepts I haven't discussed on this podcast before – I'll explain the three different categories of fundamentals that I consider when making investment decisions.

Are you thinking of getting involved in commercial property investment? It seems with rising interest rates, investors looking for strong cash flow, and more and more investors are thinking about commercial real estate. While it might look like the exclusive preserve of the rich and famous from afar, as you edge a little bit closer, you'll see that commercial property investments are well within the domain of many current residential investors. Unfortunately, I've seen many investors go wrong with commercial real estate because they don't really realize that the rules for commercial property are very different from residential investing, and they are given a false sense of security from some of the podcasts and blogs encouraging this type of investment. I bought my first commercial property in the 1970s, and I've made all the mistakes, but today I'd like to give you some clarity and direction regarding this. So, I've dedicated the entire episode of this show to shops and warehouses and offices as I discuss commercial real estate with Brett Warren, national director of Metropole Property Strategists.

It's the beginning of yet another year and a prime time for all of us to take stock of who we are, where we've been, and where we want to go. Many of us start each year with big ideas, plans, and hopes and then end each year with analysis and reflection. At the end of this year, some of us will look back on the year with joy about what we've accomplished. Be it in our investments, their business, or in their personal life We'll remember all the big wins we had and the successes we had. Unfortunately for some, this year will end with disappointment—maybe even regret—about all the things they wanted to accomplish but didn't. If you are tired of making resolutions that go nowhere; tired of reaching for the stars to only land in the dirt; and tired of running in place, then today's show is for you as I chat with Mark Creedon about a list of things that successful people don't do and as you'll find out that's just as important as understanding what successful people do. Have you ever wondered what successful people do to become... well… successful? Be they businesspeople, entrepreneurs, or property investors, their success is caused by all the things they have chosen to do and all the things they have chosen NOT to do. Sure there are lots of books, blogs, and podcasts on what successful people should do - great books like the 7 habits of highly successful people, but today I want to talk about things successful people don't do, and these can be just as important as the to do's on your path to success Links and Resources Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us Why not join Metropole's Business Accelerator Mastermind Learn more about Mark Creedon – Business Coach to some of Australia's leading entrepreneurs Subscribe to Mark Creedon's weekly newsletter here Get a copy of Mark's new book here – Have a Business not a Job Join us at Wealth Retreat 2023 on the Gold Coast in 2023– express your interest here Get a bundle of eBooks and reports – www.PodcastBonus.com.au Shownotes plus more here: 25 things successful people don't do, and neither should you!

2022 was an extraordinary year, wasn't it? And for most of us, it's also been a return to our daily lives of family, work, leisure, and vacations. However, looking back to this time last year, who would have thought that we would have 8 interest rate rises in as many months, that inflation would be rampant, or that there would be a war on the other side of the world that would last for almost a year? Nobody could have foreseen all that's happened, including the severe slump in consumer confidence because of all the economic uncertainty or that the coronavirus keeps lingering. But as we're now well into 2023, I can't help but reflect on what Australia as a country has accomplished and what I've achieved personally, what I've overcome, and the lessons I want to carry with me into this New Year. And I'd like to share them with you today to help make 2023 a great year for you in your property journey.

While it's not rocket science, it's not easy to research our property markets given the array of jargon and information and the many mixed messages that are out there. So, in today's podcast, I would like to chat with you about some of the many sources of research data that we look into to ensure we make good investment decisions for ourselves and our clients at Metropole. You'll hear me explain the importance of data but also how even more important is the ability to put the plethora of information into perspective, as I share with you several metrics that we look at when deciding where to invest. And just as importantly, I'm going to share with you one very commonly used data metric that most investors use but at Metropole we almost totally ignore. And I'll explain why you should also.

Have their property markets really bottomed? Well, that's a brave call made by my guest today, Stuart Weymss. If you think about it, this time last year, the property market was running full steam ahead, consumer confidence was high, and you could still get a fixed mortgage rate with a 2 in front of it. What a difference a year makes. The Reserve Bank of Australia began lifting the cash rate in May in response to rising inflation and hasn't stopped since - enacting the fastest series of rate hikes since the 1990s and sparking a dramatic turnaround in property values. As the property market edges toward the end of 2022, prices have fallen by around 7% overall, but by more than 10 percent in selected areas; fixed-rate mortgages start from 5 percent and buyers can afford to borrow far less than they could a year ago. So how much further are our property markets going to fall?
