  1. 0:02Hey everybody, welcome to the market
  2. 0:03room. It's that time of the week again.
  3. 0:05Hope everyone's had a fantastic week.
  4. 0:07Starting to get into the warmer weather.
  5. 0:08The sunshines out, the footy finals are
  6. 0:10starting. Uh it's been a real positive
  7. 0:12week in in so many different ways. But
  8. 0:14there's also a lot of different
  9. 0:15headlines and certainly around the
  10. 0:17property market and a few other types of
  11. 0:18things as well which we're going to
  12. 0:19unpack. You guys know how this works. If
  13. 0:22you could pop pop a big hello into the
  14. 0:24chat room. Good to see some people
  15. 0:25coming through. Just want to make sure
  16. 0:26I'm loud and clear before we kick off.
  17. 0:29Kylie, Jenny, Nicole, hope you're
  18. 0:31feeling better. Good to see you. Hey,
  19. 0:32Dorian. Um, thanks for joining in, Viv.
  20. 0:35Uh, also Adrian, Alicia, I know you're
  21. 0:37all on a bit of a break, Alicia, so I
  22. 0:39appreciate you tuning in. Um, great to
  23. 0:41see everybody online. We've got a lot to
  24. 0:43unpack today. We're going to work
  25. 0:45through uh some of the latest headlines,
  26. 0:47talk through some information for week
  27. 0:50two of Seven Weeks to Wealth, which I'm
  28. 0:52looking forward to unpacking, and then
  29. 0:53we'll talk a little about a little bit
  30. 0:54more. Last week, if you missed the show,
  31. 0:56I really encourage you to go back. I
  32. 0:58believe the best place to start when
  33. 1:00you're starting to prop to invest in
  34. 1:02property is begin [clears throat] with
  35. 1:04the end in mind and understand what you
  36. 1:06want your cash machine to look like. Hey
  37. 1:08Michael. Hey Tash. Really important.
  38. 1:10That's a really great place to start.
  39. 1:12Begin with the end in mind. Once you
  40. 1:13actually know your end goal, what you
  41. 1:15want your end figures and cash flow to
  42. 1:17be and you can link it to something
  43. 1:19emotional. Maybe it's a legacy, maybe
  44. 1:21it's a a lifestyle and choice. It's a
  45. 1:23real way, a real strong way to start
  46. 1:25your portfolio because otherwise what
  47. 1:28are you aiming for? You're got a more of
  48. 1:29a buy and hope strategy. We're going to
  49. 1:31talk a little more about that later.
  50. 1:32We've got a great webinar coming up this
  51. 1:34afternoon. If you don't know your
  52. 1:35financial number, your cash machine
  53. 1:37number, let's get that right for you
  54. 1:39this afternoon at 5:00. I'll have more
  55. 1:41details later. But if you haven't seen
  56. 1:43last week's show, I highly recommend
  57. 1:44going back before we get into this week.
  58. 1:46Hey Shannon. Hey Christine. Thanks for
  59. 1:48jumping on. Greatly appreciate it. So,
  60. 1:51we've got a lot of headlines coming up.
  61. 1:52In case you've missed it, there's a very
  62. 1:54high chance we're going to get a
  63. 1:55interest rate rise next week. Quite
  64. 1:58interesting. The Reserve Bank meets on
  65. 2:00the Tuesday and all the information's
  66. 2:02released a couple of days later. So,
  67. 2:04they're going to make a decision before
  68. 2:05they even get to look at that
  69. 2:06information. And my money suggests 80%
  70. 2:09chance of a rate rise. And whether they
  71. 2:12raise rates or not, the banks are
  72. 2:13already increasing their interest rates
  73. 2:15at the moment. So whether we get that or
  74. 2:17not, it's uh it's already upwards and
  75. 2:19onwards for interest rates and also
  76. 2:21likely for November as well when they
  77. 2:23meet after that period of time. So
  78. 2:24there's some big things happening there.
  79. 2:26We just cannot get inflation under
  80. 2:28control. Interestingly enough, our old
  81. 2:30mate Koshi wrote a letter to the RBA to
  82. 2:33investigate what happens if government
  83. 2:34also decreases their spending. And they
  84. 2:36haven't even looked at it. They haven't
  85. 2:38even modeled what would happen if
  86. 2:40governments decrease spending.
  87. 2:42So maybe they can help us out and and
  88. 2:45cut back on some spending as well. Um,
  89. 2:47interestingly enough, Elenezy is getting
  90. 2:50absolutely hammered on this. Uh,
  91. 2:51finally, Jim Charas is having to answer
  92. 2:53some questions. I think this is a
  93. 2:54positive. Let me get get right. It
  94. 2:56doesn't feel great with all this
  95. 2:58information going on, but they are
  96. 3:00tanking in the polls. They're also
  97. 3:02paying more interest uh on their loans
  98. 3:04and their debt. And as I said before,
  99. 3:06stamp duty revenue has fallen through
  100. 3:08the floor because of this change. So
  101. 3:11always back the horse called
  102. 3:12self-interest. Um this could be a
  103. 3:15change. They could either get rid of
  104. 3:16Charmers or Albani potentially and they
  105. 3:19could, you know, wash and and put those
  106. 3:22policies out with them. That's a highly
  107. 3:24highly likely opportunity if Labour want
  108. 3:26to get through to the next election. And
  109. 3:27if those results keep going one way,
  110. 3:29most governments always want to retain
  111. 3:31power at every cost. It's happened many,
  112. 3:33many times before. So let's just watch
  113. 3:36this space a and see what happens.
  114. 3:38Regardless of that, regardless of what
  115. 3:40going on in the short term, let's switch
  116. 3:41back our thinking to longer term
  117. 3:43mentality. I'm unpacking week two, which
  118. 3:46is using property. Why we're going to
  119. 3:47choose property. I'm going to talk about
  120. 3:49that in a moment. We're going to use
  121. 3:50property compounding and leverage to
  122. 3:52create longerterm wealth. And I'm going
  123. 3:54to show you how to use debt
  124. 3:56strategically. That's something I've
  125. 3:57used myself. And it really changed the
  126. 4:00way and empowered my portfolio to move
  127. 4:02forward. So, as you know, this is
  128. 4:04fast-paced, uptempo. Hang on to your
  129. 4:07hat. We're going to go through a fair
  130. 4:08bit of information here in the next 15
  131. 4:10or 20 minutes. If you do have any
  132. 4:12questions, pop them in the chat box. If
  133. 4:14you're watching the replay, also pop it
  134. 4:15in the chat box and I'm I'll get to
  135. 4:17answering them as quickly as possible.
  136. 4:19Let's get into it.
  137. 4:26Okay,
  138. 4:29hang on a sec.
  139. 4:35Right, we got week two, property using
  140. 4:37compound and leverage to create wealth.
  141. 4:40Really good opportunity to talk through
  142. 4:41some of these points. Uh, and also think
  143. 4:43about things differently. Change the way
  144. 4:45you're thinking about we're not going
  145. 4:46out to buy a property. We're here to
  146. 4:48create longerterm wealth. In week one,
  147. 4:50we established what your goals are. Now,
  148. 4:52we need to find a vehicle to do it and
  149. 4:54use those points of difference to help
  150. 4:55you create that longerterm wealth as
  151. 4:57well.
  152. 5:00Why choose residential property? The
  153. 5:02first thing is choosing the vehicle. And
  154. 5:04I'm suggesting you use property. Why?
  155. 5:05Because it's a good investment. And a
  156. 5:07good investment needs two things. Strong
  157. 5:09compounding capital growth to build
  158. 5:11wealth. And a secure income that
  159. 5:13increases over time. Well-located
  160. 5:15capital city residential property does
  161. 5:17both. And it's quite reliable over the
  162. 5:20longer term. You've got reliability and
  163. 5:22performance. Simple, safe, reliable over
  164. 5:24the longer term. As long as you know
  165. 5:26what you're doing, and that's what we're
  166. 5:27going to get at today.
  167. 5:29Let's also reframe risk. We're going to
  168. 5:32talk about debt in a moment. The biggest
  169. 5:33risk at the moment is actually doing
  170. 5:35nothing and letting inflation erode your
  171. 5:37savings on your money. The people who
  172. 5:39aren't taking risks, they're the ones
  173. 5:41who are the risk takers.
  174. 5:43Leave that with you. It's an interesting
  175. 5:44thought. Let's start to unpack it a
  176. 5:46little bit more. The good thing about
  177. 5:47property is everyone can play property.
  178. 5:49Most people understand what property is.
  179. 5:51Um there's an opportunity for more
  180. 5:53multi-millionaires to to to work through
  181. 5:55because of property. Most people who are
  182. 5:57multi multi-millionaires have some kind
  183. 5:59of property investing in their
  184. 6:00portfolio. Whether they've used their
  185. 6:02business and then put it into into uh
  186. 6:04property or whether they've used
  187. 6:06property to create that wealth. It's
  188. 6:08consistently been the major source of
  189. 6:09wealth for Australian millionaires for a
  190. 6:11long long time. And as I said before,
  191. 6:13those who have made money elsewhere
  192. 6:14generally put that in to property. And
  193. 6:16the good thing is anyone can do it. And
  194. 6:18that was what really appealed to me
  195. 6:20early on when I started investing.
  196. 6:22Anyone can get wealthy through property.
  197. 6:24You've just got to have the right
  198. 6:24strategy mindset. Banks can lend up to
  199. 6:2780%. In some cases, they're lending up
  200. 6:28to 90 or 100%. You don't need a large
  201. 6:31sum. And in many cases, most people with
  202. 6:33a steady job and good savings can also
  203. 6:35achieve that. And I would also suggest
  204. 6:37for those of you who are sitting on your
  205. 6:39home and you've lived in your home for 5
  206. 6:40to 10 years, you've probably got an
  207. 6:42untapped resource there, which I'd like
  208. 6:45to talk about as well. The other good
  209. 6:47thing about Australian property, it's
  210. 6:49Australia's largest asset class. There's
  211. 6:5111.3 million in Australian val dwellings
  212. 6:55with 11.7 trillion. It's four times
  213. 6:58larger than the ASX. Um and the other
  214. 7:01thing as well, there's only about um I
  215. 7:03think the debt to asset
  216. 7:06ratio is roughly about 20%. So it's not
  217. 7:09a bubble, it's not going to burst, you
  218. 7:11know, it's not up around debt to to
  219. 7:13income. It's not debt to ratio is up
  220. 7:15around 80%. It's at 20%. And the other
  221. 7:17thing I like about property is almost
  222. 7:1970% of people are home buyers. Um, now
  223. 7:22things like the share market and all
  224. 7:24those other types of things, investors
  225. 7:25can panic. That's why a lot gets wiped
  226. 7:27off the share market and onto the share
  227. 7:29market. It's quite volatile. But home
  228. 7:31owners don't think like that. They think
  229. 7:32long term. If they're going to buy a
  230. 7:33property, they're thinking seven to 10
  231. 7:35years ahead at least. Uh, and if there
  232. 7:37is a financial crash tomorrow, they'll
  233. 7:39do whatever they can to keep a roof over
  234. 7:41their family's head. I often say we'd
  235. 7:44eat magic noodles to keep a roof over my
  236. 7:45family's head. I would and that keeps
  237. 7:47the market fairly fairly simple and and
  238. 7:50not as volatile as other markets. So,
  239. 7:52owner occupies don't sell in a downturn.
  240. 7:54Um, giving investors a built-in safety
  241. 7:56net. So, if you can get into those
  242. 7:57higher income areas that we talk about,
  243. 7:59you've got a little bit of a safety net
  244. 8:00there as well. The income also grows in
  245. 8:03four ways. Rental cash flow, regular
  246. 8:05income from your tenant over time. And
  247. 8:07boy, as I've outlined, isn't rent going
  248. 8:09to grow quite substantially over the
  249. 8:11next 3 to 5 years? The next way is that
  250. 8:13capital appreciation. um we've
  251. 8:15experienced that in the last five to
  252. 8:17seven years might be a bit lower over
  253. 8:18the next couple of years, but certainly
  254. 8:20capital appreciation over the longer
  255. 8:21term should be on the agenda. There's
  256. 8:23also tax benefits. Now, those rules have
  257. 8:25changed a little bit and we're going to
  258. 8:26unpack just how we do that later on in
  259. 8:28the series, but you can still take
  260. 8:30advantage of tax benefits. It's also an
  261. 8:32inflation hedge. I've mentioned before
  262. 8:35um it's a great way debt is a great way
  263. 8:37to to work through inflation. If you
  264. 8:39borrow a million dollars worth of debt
  265. 8:42and uh inflation at 4%, that means it's
  266. 8:45decreasing by about $4,000 a year. It
  267. 8:47gets easier to pay off the later and
  268. 8:49longer you pay it off. So, it's another
  269. 8:51way to think about debt a little bit
  270. 8:53differently. So, there's some of the
  271. 8:54reasons I think um that that that income
  272. 8:57favors property as well. You're also
  273. 9:00going to get consistent capital growth
  274. 9:01compounding over time. And this is a 7%
  275. 9:04compounding chart. Now, I know I'm going
  276. 9:06to have some engineers. I know I've got
  277. 9:08a particular accountant on that always
  278. 9:09likes to reach for the calculator um and
  279. 9:11and challenge some of these numbers as
  280. 9:13well. Don't worry about the numbers.
  281. 9:15Just think about the concept. Take a
  282. 9:18deep breath. Switch that side of your
  283. 9:19brain off and just listen to I guess the
  284. 9:21concept for now. And if you do want to
  285. 9:23talk more about this, we can actually
  286. 9:25sit down with you. We can work through
  287. 9:26your situation. We can get your
  288. 9:27calculator out and we can work through
  289. 9:29it. But again, let's have a look at
  290. 9:30this. Over compounding over time, if
  291. 9:32you're starting with a million dollars
  292. 9:33today, it's like a snowball, right? It's
  293. 9:36quite slow to start with. It goes from 1
  294. 9:38million to 2 million to 3 million, but
  295. 9:40by the third and fourth decade, it's
  296. 9:42tripled, more than tripled in value.
  297. 9:44That compounding's really worked through
  298. 9:45and by the fourth decade, it's grown
  299. 9:47more than seven times its original. So
  300. 9:50that's the trick with compounding. And a
  301. 9:51lot of investors and I guess miss out
  302. 9:53because they hold properties, they flip
  303. 9:55properties, they sell properties, they
  304. 9:56don't get to that back third of holding
  305. 9:59that property and the huge amount of
  306. 10:01growth that comes through from that over
  307. 10:02that period of time. So if you accept
  308. 10:05that the market's going to continue to
  309. 10:06compound at some kind of rate, then you
  310. 10:09should understand that back third is
  311. 10:11critical to get into that range.
  312. 10:15Um the other thing is borrowing and
  313. 10:17using other people's money, particularly
  314. 10:19at the start of your journey rather than
  315. 10:20putting down, you know, 200,000. If you
  316. 10:23can put down 100,000 to deposit, you're
  317. 10:25going to end up further in front. Keep
  318. 10:27that extra 100,000 as as I guess a bit
  319. 10:29of a buffer, a safety net. um keep it in
  320. 10:32an offset account so you're still
  321. 10:33reducing that debt. But you can see here
  322. 10:36um five investors borrow at $100,000
  323. 10:38each. Some are growing at 10%. Um some
  324. 10:41use a 20% LTV, 50%, but you can see that
  325. 10:44the investor that borrowed the most made
  326. 10:46five times the five times the uh the
  327. 10:49return of the investor that borrowed
  328. 10:50100%. So leverage is critically
  329. 10:53important as well. When you've got
  330. 10:54compounding and leverage, it's a
  331. 10:56critical tool that you can use to move
  332. 10:58forward.
  333. 11:00The other thing when you're look when
  334. 11:01you're starting to reframe how you're
  335. 11:03investing, you move from how to and then
  336. 11:05you go to when to. So rather than buying
  337. 11:08shares and trying to time the market and
  338. 11:10getting in the top of the market or the
  339. 11:11bottom of the market um losing badly,
  340. 11:14you just have to figure out when you get
  341. 11:16into the market, how to get into the
  342. 11:17market, and what structure you're going
  343. 11:19to get into the market, and what your
  344. 11:20long-term strategy is. It rewards you
  345. 11:22for how you buy and how you add value
  346. 11:24far more than timing. less liquid but
  347. 11:27steady producing millions of wealthy
  348. 11:28people and a handful of losers because
  349. 11:30property can be a really forgiving asset
  350. 11:32if you're holding for the longer term
  351. 11:34which is exactly what we advocate for.
  352. 11:37Six more reasons why I love property and
  353. 11:39why I invest in property. The first
  354. 11:40thing is I said before someone else is
  355. 11:42paying your mortgage. Tenants will fund
  356. 11:44your mortgage. Um and again that helps
  357. 11:47you while you're building equity. Rents
  358. 11:48are going to skyrocket in the more
  359. 11:50established locations. We've established
  360. 11:51that over the the medium term. Um you're
  361. 11:54in control. You can renovate. you can
  362. 11:55add value. You cannot add value to
  363. 11:57shares. You can't go down to Bunnings,
  364. 11:59paint the walls, and your share price is
  365. 12:00going to go up. Um, but you can with
  366. 12:02property, and I think it's a real trick
  367. 12:04that most people miss out on. Even if
  368. 12:05it's just a simple cosmetic renovation,
  369. 12:08doesn't have to be something more
  370. 12:09substantial or a development, but that
  371. 12:11will certainly help. So, that adding
  372. 12:13value is a really important point. It's
  373. 12:15also in perfect market. If I'm buying
  374. 12:17shares, I have to pay the share price. I
  375. 12:19can't negotiate. I can't get a better
  376. 12:21deal. I can't buy below a replacement
  377. 12:23cost, which we do so well here at
  378. 12:24Metropole. Um, and it's not as liquid, I
  379. 12:27guess, as the share market. You can
  380. 12:28insure it. You can obviously have
  381. 12:30building insurance. You can also cover
  382. 12:32yourself for rent if you've got a period
  383. 12:34of time where something happens where
  384. 12:35you're without a tenant. You've got the
  385. 12:37ability to claim some of those vacancies
  386. 12:39as well. So again, another really great
  387. 12:42riskmanagement tool. It's also quite
  388. 12:44forgiving. Even we've done research on
  389. 12:46this. Even if we've bought at the
  390. 12:48absolute top of the cycle, in 10 or 20
  391. 12:50years time, it's going to make very very
  392. 12:52little difference to the outcome of what
  393. 12:54you're investing in. So remove timing
  394. 12:56from the equation.
  395. 12:59One of the other things I want to talk
  396. 13:00about compounding is this is really
  397. 13:02really powerful. Have a look at the um
  398. 13:04the the yellow line there. This is the
  399. 13:06this is a dollar doubling every day for
  400. 13:0830 days. So if I take a dollar, tomorrow
  401. 13:10I give you two, the next day four, the
  402. 13:12next day eight, and I double it every
  403. 13:14day for 30 days. The yellow there
  404. 13:16suggests I end up at over $1 billion
  405. 13:20just by holding it for 30 days. You get
  406. 13:23your calculator there if you like. I'm
  407. 13:25pretty sure on those numbers. Um
  408. 13:26although it does seem quite a lot. The
  409. 13:28next thing is what happens instead of
  410. 13:29doubling it the next day. If I take out
  411. 13:31a tax rate at 37%. So instead of a
  412. 13:34dollar, I take out the 37% tax and
  413. 13:36double it. Then isn't that different
  414. 13:39quite substantial? I've got a million
  415. 13:40dollars. If I'd have to take out tax, I
  416. 13:42only end up with $1,000.
  417. 13:46That is astounding. And that's another
  418. 13:47message of compounding. And it's also
  419. 13:49another message of why we don't sell
  420. 13:51property after five or seven years just
  421. 13:53because the property's done well because
  422. 13:55straight away you're going to lose
  423. 13:56$100,000. You're going to pay capital
  424. 13:58gains tax. You're going to pay sales
  425. 14:00agents. It's a big big big step
  426. 14:02backwards. And then when you get back in
  427. 14:03the market, you're going to have to go
  428. 14:04through the same process. Stamp duties
  429. 14:06and fees and conveyancing and building
  430. 14:08and pest. So, why not just get a really
  431. 14:10great property or two and hold it for
  432. 14:12the longer term? I think that's a real
  433. 14:14powerful graph there of compounding an
  434. 14:16action without interrupting it by
  435. 14:18selling and having to pay fees and
  436. 14:20charges. Let's put this all in
  437. 14:23perspective. Um, interestingly enough,
  438. 14:25Mark Boris come out during the week and
  439. 14:27suggested that if he had a million
  440. 14:28dollars, he'd prefer to put it into
  441. 14:30shares than property. All things being
  442. 14:32equal, he may be right. The only problem
  443. 14:34is with a million dollars, I could
  444. 14:36borrow a $10 million property
  445. 14:38potentially or5 million. So there's
  446. 14:41quite a difference there. And the other
  447. 14:42thing is that compounding and leveraging
  448. 14:44now becomes a completely different tool
  449. 14:46because if I'm putting a million dollars
  450. 14:47into shares and $5 million into
  451. 14:49property, I can compound and leverage
  452. 14:51those returns become exponentially
  453. 14:53higher. And that's one side of the
  454. 14:55argument he missed. Let's put this into
  455. 14:57a case study. And if you've got a home
  456. 14:59that I'm talking to you because you've
  457. 15:00bought your this person here, this is
  458. 15:02Liz and Gavin. They've bought their
  459. 15:03first home for 500,000 seven or eight
  460. 15:05years ago. It's now worth a million
  461. 15:07dollars and they've got 300,000 left on
  462. 15:09their mortgage. So, concentrate on the
  463. 15:12left there. Home value a million. They
  464. 15:14can borrow up to 800,000 with an a loan
  465. 15:16to value ratio of 80%. Um, their
  466. 15:19existing mortgage is 300,000. So, their
  467. 15:21usable surplus is 500,000.
  468. 15:25Now, this is going to be a little bit
  469. 15:26foreign. So, keep an open mind when we
  470. 15:28walk through this. What I want to do now
  471. 15:30is I want to work out, can I borrow up
  472. 15:33to 80%. Um, if I can, now I've got a
  473. 15:36usable surplus of $500,000.
  474. 15:39Now, I'm not going to go out and buy
  475. 15:41cars and boats and holidays. We're going
  476. 15:43to use this to fund a portfolio by
  477. 15:45putting zero of your own dollars down.
  478. 15:47And this is really powerful. Let's move
  479. 15:49into the middle number there, the middle
  480. 15:51graph there, where I've transferred that
  481. 15:53surplus of $500,000.
  482. 15:55I'm going to use 200,000 260,000 which
  483. 15:58is a deposit for a another $1 million
  484. 16:01property. Um 260 and the 60,000 is the
  485. 16:04cost. 200 is the deposit. It's going to
  486. 16:06leave in that little buffer section
  487. 16:08there $240,000 of equity which I'm not
  488. 16:12allowed to touch. I'm just going to
  489. 16:13leave it there. I'm not going to do a
  490. 16:15thing. Now I've got um an investment
  491. 16:17property. I've taken a loan again of
  492. 16:2080%. I've funded a deposit through my
  493. 16:22equity and my costs and I've put zero
  494. 16:24money into that and now I've got this
  495. 16:27nice big safety buffer of $240,000.
  496. 16:32What do I do with that buffer? Well,
  497. 16:35what would you do? What I would suggest
  498. 16:37you do is use it to fund the rest of
  499. 16:39your portfolio. The shortfall, let's
  500. 16:41just say the shortfall each year is
  501. 16:42$24,000
  502. 16:44or $30,000 each year. let the equity use
  503. 16:48and pay those funds rather than it
  504. 16:50coming out of your own money. By doing
  505. 16:52that, you've bought yourself pretty much
  506. 16:5410 years before you have to pay that
  507. 16:56back. And let's what look what happens
  508. 16:58in 10 years time. 10 years later, your
  509. 17:01home that was a million is now worth $2
  510. 17:03million. And the real estate value of
  511. 17:06all your properties has now gone to $4
  512. 17:08million because you got your home,
  513. 17:09you've also got your investment
  514. 17:10property.
  515. 17:12So that's gone up quite substantially
  516. 17:14from a 200,000 deposit. You've now got a
  517. 17:17$2.64 million in equity. At 8% growth,
  518. 17:20their property gains around 130 160,000
  519. 17:23in a year alone compounding annually
  520. 17:25from there and they're saving. They're
  521. 17:27going about their life, but their
  522. 17:29property business is taking care of
  523. 17:31itself and paying for itself, which is
  524. 17:33amazing.
  525. 17:35Yes, let's get to it. What happens with
  526. 17:37the 240? Well, that 240 is a line of
  527. 17:39credit covers years of interest
  528. 17:41shortfall on the new property costing
  529. 17:43nothing until it's drawn. We capitalize
  530. 17:45the interest which is a real foreign um
  531. 17:48a real foreign thought for some people.
  532. 17:50And this is not something you do over a
  533. 17:52two or three year period. This is
  534. 17:53something you set up over a five, seven,
  535. 17:5510 year period. So you've got a layer of
  536. 17:57safety there as well when you're re
  537. 17:59refinancing. Instead of paying interest
  538. 18:01from their own pocket, it adds to the
  539. 18:02loan over 10 years at 8% 5% interest.
  540. 18:05debt grows by 335%.
  541. 18:08But your equity has grown by 800,000. So
  542. 18:11definitely you've eroded all that um
  543. 18:13that cash flow and now you've gone to
  544. 18:15800,000. You've funded itself and now
  545. 18:17you've got the ability to go back and
  546. 18:19refinance again to unlock even more
  547. 18:21equity and maybe look at buying another
  548. 18:23property or maybe look at retiring some
  549. 18:24debt. There's plenty plenty options
  550. 18:26there.
  551. 18:28So from my point of view, you need two
  552. 18:30businesses. You need a cash flow
  553. 18:32business and you need an asset
  554. 18:33appreciation business. And that's what
  555. 18:35I'm talking about today. The problem
  556. 18:36with property investing is investors get
  557. 18:39them right wrong. They they think
  558. 18:40property is cash flow. And if you're
  559. 18:42flipping, developing, and making those
  560. 18:44kinds of cash flow, that's actually a
  561. 18:47cash flow business. It's not a capital
  562. 18:48appreciation business. So the two are
  563. 18:51very separate.
  564. 18:53The single greatest trade of investors
  565. 18:55of a 100 people you meet today, by 65,
  566. 18:58one's going to be wealthy, four are
  567. 19:00going to be financially independent,
  568. 19:01five are still going to be working. And
  569. 19:03I think that's going to continue. And
  570. 19:05unfortunately 54 are going to be broke.
  571. 19:07So what separates the successful from
  572. 19:09the unsuccessful? They decide to act.
  573. 19:11They ignore the information. They ignore
  574. 19:12the short-term detail. They put a
  575. 19:14long-term plan in place. They understand
  576. 19:17how to use their savings and their debt
  577. 19:18strategically. And they offerly go out
  578. 19:21and take action. And I'm sure we've all
  579. 19:22heard the saying about I wish I'd bought
  580. 19:24a property 10 years ago. Well, ask
  581. 19:26yourself this question. In 10 years
  582. 19:27time, will you be saying the same thing?
  583. 19:30Hopefully not. So to recap,
  584. 19:33why property, leverage, and time create
  585. 19:36your cash machine. Residential property
  586. 19:38offers rare power and stability. Few
  587. 19:40asset classes have both. Leverage turns
  588. 19:43modern gains into outsiz returns and
  589. 19:45outsiz risk is mitigated and down.
  590. 19:49Compounding is using growth equity, not
  591. 19:51new savings, to buy your next property.
  592. 19:53And finally, setting up buffers before
  593. 19:55you need them and take decisive action
  594. 19:57over perfect timing. As I said before,
  595. 20:00if you want to buy a property 10 years
  596. 20:01ago, it wouldn't have mattered when you
  597. 20:02bought 10 years ago, and the same
  598. 20:04applies now. All right, couple of quick
  599. 20:06questions. Looks like we've got a few
  600. 20:08there in the chat box. So, let's start
  601. 20:09to unpack some of those before we start
  602. 20:11to wrap up. Hey Brett, what's your
  603. 20:14recommendation or strategy when you have
  604. 20:15plenty of equity but run out of
  605. 20:16serviceability? That's that's a bit of a
  606. 20:19a tougher one. When you've run out of
  607. 20:20serviceability, that's a really great
  608. 20:22time to understand if you've run out of
  609. 20:23serviceability. Take a step back. If
  610. 20:25you've got a couple of properties, how
  611. 20:27are they going to perform over the next
  612. 20:2810 to 15 years? How do they fit into
  613. 20:30your longerterm plan? Now, you can use
  614. 20:33these numbers. If you're compounding a
  615. 20:35million dollar property at 4% versus a
  616. 20:38million dollar property at 7%, it could
  617. 20:40be $400 or $500,000 difference in 15
  618. 20:43years time. So, now you've got to
  619. 20:45understand that those properties are
  620. 20:46going to get you to your end goal in the
  621. 20:48desired time frame, which is what we're
  622. 20:50going to talk about this afternoon in
  623. 20:51the webinar. But I think it's a great
  624. 20:53time to reassess to make sure you've got
  625. 20:55the right properties. And if those
  626. 20:56properties performed well in the last
  627. 20:57five years, but the 15 years before that
  628. 20:58they haven't. Then you should have an
  629. 21:00alarm bell there. Um, you've got to have
  630. 21:03high capital growth assets. So, it's a
  631. 21:04great time, Andrea, thank you for your
  632. 21:06question, just to take a step back and
  633. 21:08get those properties looked at.
  634. 21:10Tash, is there a point where you've
  635. 21:12borrowed too much? How do you know where
  636. 21:13your line is? Well, unfortunately, um,
  637. 21:15the banks will tell you that. Obviously
  638. 21:17the loan to value ratios you can
  639. 21:18generally float up to around 80%.
  640. 21:21Generally speaking the maximum borrowing
  641. 21:23capacity is probably going to be about
  642. 21:25six times your income. So if you're
  643. 21:27earning $100,000 you're probably going
  644. 21:28to be able to borrow about $600,000. But
  645. 21:31if you've got rental properties as well
  646. 21:32and they're renting for $400 or $500 a
  647. 21:34week that in that is classified as
  648. 21:36income as well. So that will extend your
  649. 21:38borrowing capacity. Uh and as long as
  650. 21:40you're playing within the bank's
  651. 21:41guidelines and you're borrowing up to
  652. 21:4380% there should be no issues accessing
  653. 21:46those types of things. And that's uh
  654. 21:47certainly what I did in my experience. I
  655. 21:49had an average wage, but probably below
  656. 21:51average wage when I started investing,
  657. 21:53but I had this equity because my
  658. 21:54properties had gone in value. And I used
  659. 21:56that debt and equity strategically to
  660. 21:58get into my next properties. And I
  661. 22:00haven't paid for a property since. It's
  662. 22:01been the compounding and the leverage
  663. 22:03and the refinancing every seven to 10
  664. 22:05years that has helped me do that.
  665. 22:08Any other questions, please pop them in
  666. 22:10the chat box. If you've enjoyed this
  667. 22:12session, I know I rushed through it. I
  668. 22:14highly recommend going back looking at
  669. 22:16the case study, particularly if you've
  670. 22:17got equity in your home that you can
  671. 22:19unlock and we can do it safely and
  672. 22:21strategically. It's a really great
  673. 22:23opportunity to do that. If you got some
  674. 22:25value, I'd love you to like um let's
  675. 22:27also subscribe so you can c you can make
  676. 22:29sure you get the rest of the
  677. 22:31presentation as well. Um next week we're
  678. 22:33going to be talking about what's ahead
  679. 22:35for property. Now we're considering
  680. 22:36investing in property. It's really
  681. 22:38important you understand what's ahead,
  682. 22:39not just in the next three or four
  683. 22:40years, but in the next 10 or 20 years.
  684. 22:42We're going to look at the next stage of
  685. 22:43the cycle and why demographics are so
  686. 22:45important. Finally, if you're still
  687. 22:48around, I'd love to um I'd love you to
  688. 22:50jump on our webinar this afternoon.
  689. 22:51Here's the details. You're not too late
  690. 22:53to register. Um myself and Michael are
  691. 22:56going to be talking about what is your
  692. 22:58financial independence number.
  693. 23:01So, coming up on the screen,
  694. 23:05there it is. We've got a QR code. You
  695. 23:07can scan the QR code. What is your
  696. 23:09financial independence number? the three
  697. 23:11decisions that turn financial
  698. 23:13independence from an idea into a
  699. 23:16strategy. We're going to talk through
  700. 23:17those types of things this week. Um,
  701. 23:19looking forward to talking with Michael
  702. 23:21about that today. I think that's the
  703. 23:23best place to start in this type of
  704. 23:25environment when there's so much
  705. 23:26volatility. News headlines are changing,
  706. 23:28interest rates changing on a daily
  707. 23:30basis. I think it's a great opportunity
  708. 23:32to unpack some of that. That's it for
  709. 23:34this week. Um, I hope you enjoyed the
  710. 23:36show. Next week again, we're talking
  711. 23:38about what's ahead for property and
  712. 23:39demographics, which is key to what we're
  713. 23:41doing. Some really important points
  714. 23:43around debt there. If you'd like to talk
  715. 23:45in more detail about your personal
  716. 23:46situation and get some numbers behind
  717. 23:48that, there's a link in the show notes.
  718. 23:50Let's catch up and talk in more detail.
  719. 23:52Until then, have a great week. Make it a
