In this episode, we discuss the 4 ways property investors can negotiate a sunset clause to protect themselves and stop the developer from putting up the price. This includes making it so only you as the purchaser can cancel the contract under the clause, getting rid of the clause altogether, and making it so that the clause can't be used to increase the price.

In this episode, we discuss a recent property investment story, where a bank took $145,000 of an investor's sale proceeds ... without asking. The money was used to pay down the investor's personal debts, which they were unable to afford (under the bank's calculations) after one of the investors recently changed jobs. This reinforces the need for property investors to employ the split banking strategy in order to protect themselves. We also mention the Opes Property Coaching programme. If you want to start or grow a property investment portfolio this year, then your next step is to come and see us for a Portfolio Planning Session.
