G'day! Anastasia has a fantastic question about buying when’s the right time to buy your next property. I love this question because I want to show people the fastest road to a wealthy retirement. I obviously love property, and my short answer is to buy your next property as soon as you can. I’ll go…

G'day! By now I’d hope you all know my thoughts on banks. I want investors to keep as much money as possible in their own hands and out of the banks clutches. One way we save our members money is by organising valuations for their properties free of charge. These are done for your benefit by a…

G'day! What happens to the properties when a marriage or relationship ends? This week I answer a question from Ian who’s unfortunately going through a relationship breakdown. You know I love property because they’re appreciating assets, so I reckon that it’s worth doing whatever it takes to hold on…

G'day! I reckon getting your kids into property is one of the best decisions a parent can make. It’s far better than giving them cash that will disappear pretty quick, and property is an appreciating asset, so unlike a car or other assets it’s going to go up in value. But buying and living in your…

G'day! The Gold Coast has been a strong and reliable area for property investors over the last decade or two, and Simon is looking for my thoughts on the future of the area. His property has already grown over $100,000 which is like winning the lottery, but can we expect the growth to continue? I…

G'day! Terry is wondering about how big of an impact the recent election could have on Australia’s property market. It’s a great question, and I’m pretty excited for the future. In terms of government and legislation the last few years have been some of the least stable in recent history. But I…

G'day! Liz’s property in Hervey bay has been eating through her cash needing renovation and maintenance. First off, Hervey Bay is a beautiful spot, maybe somewhere to retire. But as you know, I would advise to keep investing closer to city centers for maximum capital growth. I’ll go on to talk about…

G'day! The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. Or at least that’s the case for Judith. She’s got five properties, and has completed a FIDO looking to the future and her retirement. A big roadblock has come up though, in the form of being unable to obtain any more finance. Getting a loan…

G'day! Chris wants to know my latest thoughts on retirement. The idea and structure of retirement over the years has changed, just like my opinion. Years and years ago I thought that people would retire at 60. For this to happen I believed they would need to have a property portfolio set up to take…

G'day! John is wondering about his property in Chermside, an area set to boom. His rent is down, he reckons because of a huge influx of new property in the area. Having a good rental return on your property is a nice feeling, and definitely helps you out, but is it a marker for the success of your…
