Full transcript
- 0:01Hey everybody, welcome to the market
- 0:02room live again. Welcome to Thursday.
- 0:05Hopefully the sun's shining where you
- 0:06are and you've had a good week. Really
- 0:08looking forward to the next 7 weeks.
- 0:10We're going to unpack this little number
- 0:11here, Michael's book. Um how to grow a
- 0:14multi-million dollar property portfolio.
- 0:17>> [clears throat]
- 0:17>> And I'm really looking forward to
- 0:17getting into some of that. Today is week
- 0:19one. It's all about building the cash
- 0:21machine.
- 0:22Starting to put some comments in the in
- 0:24the comment section. Who wants to build
- 0:26a cash machine? Who wants to have a cash
- 0:27machine? That's what we're going to talk
- 0:28about. Um great to see you online
- 0:30Adrian. Thanks for jumping in. Hey
- 0:32Nicole. Usual suspects, Tash, Kylie.
- 0:34Hope um hope it's as sunny in Sydney as
- 0:36it is here.
- 0:37Um and hope everyone's uh happy and
- 0:39healthy. So we've got a lot to unpack.
- 0:41Um couple of headlines before we start.
- 0:43Well, before we start, we're actually
- 0:44streaming in three different places
- 0:46today. We're live on YouTube as we
- 0:47normally are. Um but we're also on
- 0:49LinkedIn and we're also on Facebook. Hey
- 0:52Trevor, great to hear from you. Hope
- 0:54you're well.
- 0:55Um hopefully everything's going well for
- 0:56yourself Naya.
- 0:58Looking forward to the next 7 weeks as
- 0:59well. Um some headlines. There's lots of
- 1:01headlines coming out at the moment. Uh
- 1:04I guess there's the good, the bad, the
- 1:05ugly. Um and we'll we'll hit it straight
- 1:07up. Unfortunately, the we're looking
- 1:09like an interest rate rise very soon,
- 1:11potentially September. There's a 60%
- 1:13chance of an interest rate rise in
- 1:14September.
- 1:15It appears that the Reserve Bank is
- 1:17getting a little bit short-tempered with
- 1:19inflation being so high. Petrol is
- 1:21skyrocketing, rents are absolutely
- 1:22skyrocketing, and all those usual
- 1:24suspects that we all talk about are not
- 1:26really easing at the moment. So at some
- 1:28stage they're going to have to correct
- 1:30that. They've been away from that 2 to
- 1:313% band for some time, and many
- 1:34economists and banks are suggesting
- 1:35either September or November. They're
- 1:37certainly running out of patience and I
- 1:39can understand why.
- 1:40So lots happening there. Um again, 60%
- 1:43chance. Let's see what happens there.
- 1:45Hey Joey.
- 1:46Hey Darren, how are you? Askart, great
- 1:48to great to see you again. Thanks for
- 1:49jumping on.
- 1:51>> [clears throat]
- 1:51>> Now, I'm looking at property prices as
- 1:53well. Obviously property prices have
- 1:55continued to decline.
- 1:57But as I've said before, I actually
- 1:58think we're through the absolute worst
- 2:00of it where that peak fall is happening.
- 2:02And the reason that is is because
- 2:03there's a level of you know, scarcity
- 2:06and there's a level of concern and worry
- 2:07and frustration about what happens and
- 2:09people just tend to sit on their hands.
- 2:11So for the first 3 months, the market is
- 2:13certainly dropped, but we're starting to
- 2:15see a few green shoots. Auction
- 2:16clearance rates are starting to get to a
- 2:17little bit back into a little more
- 2:19normality.
- 2:20Um asking prices is a few more green
- 2:22lights on the asking prices like we've
- 2:23mentioned before.
- 2:25Um lending still falling, but it's
- 2:26falling less. And I guess that's the
- 2:27story here. Prices and lending and those
- 2:30kinds of things are still falling,
- 2:32but they're not falling at the rate they
- 2:33have been. They're kind of starting to
- 2:34shallow out a little bit. So I do think
- 2:36things will keep slowing, um but I also
- 2:39think um the sooner and the longer it
- 2:40goes on, there's more information
- 2:42around, there's more knowledge
- 2:42available. And I think those things will
- 2:44start to dry up. The other interesting
- 2:45thing is that consumer confidence uh is
- 2:48also um starting to tick up a little
- 2:50bit. So that gives me a an idea of Look,
- 2:52people are learning to adjust. They're
- 2:54not going to take the actions it's not
- 2:55going to change overnight. There's still
- 2:56a period of time here
- 2:58um that we have to get through. So
- 3:00there's some of the headlines. Um
- 3:02Michael's joined me. Hey Michael, great
- 3:03to speak to you. I'm I'm under pressure
- 3:04now cuz I'm talking all about your book
- 3:06uh and I know you've heard me talk about
- 3:08it before and I'm looking forward to uh
- 3:10we've got a webinar next week and then
- 3:11we've also got a uh a seminar uh further
- 3:13down the track which I'll talk about as
- 3:15well. So your opportunity to to learn
- 3:17from the master like I have. And um
- 3:19let's turn it on to that and let's turn
- 3:21it now into the 7-week course. The first
- 3:23one is building the cash machine.
- 3:25Uh this book quite literally changed my
- 3:28life. Um it I wouldn't be on the
- 3:30trajectory I'm now if I hadn't read this
- 3:32book and and listened to Michael speak.
- 3:34It really really resonated with me. Uh
- 3:36like you at the time, I was looking for
- 3:38something.
- 3:39Uh I was probably brought up middle
- 3:41class and I I needed I needed a guide, I
- 3:43needed a mentor, I needed something to
- 3:45to help me move forward and and I was
- 3:47really desperate to kind of find
- 3:48something like we all are. And you go to
- 3:49the the and this is something that
- 3:52really resonated with me. So, I'm really
- 3:53looking forward to unpacking this today
- 3:55and really looking forward to getting
- 3:57into some of these got a few questions
- 3:59there already. Thank you. I will get
- 4:01back to those at the end. So, I'll jump
- 4:02back onto those. So, thanks for putting
- 4:04some questions in and please feel free
- 4:05to put questions there along the way.
- 4:07Around 20 years ago
- 4:09my wife turned to me we were wanting to
- 4:11invest in property. I had a couple of
- 4:12investment properties and she said, "Why
- 4:13don't we go and listen to this guy talk
- 4:15about property?" I looked at the picture
- 4:17was picture of Michael Yardney and said,
- 4:18"What's this guy going to talk to me and
- 4:20and teach me about property?" And it
- 4:21quite literally changed my life. The
- 4:23presentation, the way we elevated our
- 4:25mindset and the targets and the systems
- 4:27and I'm going to share that with you
- 4:28today. A few years later I was lucky
- 4:30enough to start working at Metropole. 16
- 4:33years later I'm one of the national
- 4:34directors and Michael's business
- 4:35partner. So, it's been quite a journey
- 4:37and it's not a cliche. It has quite
- 4:39literally changed my life.
- 4:41So, I'd love to hear your thoughts
- 4:43particularly around the cash machine. I
- 4:45like the cash machine concept for a few
- 4:46different reasons.
- 4:48The main reason is
- 4:50I actually don't care what happens to
- 4:51interest rates. I care what happens to
- 4:52property prices. I've got a long-term
- 4:55plan and a strategy. I allow for these
- 4:57types of things to happen in my plan and
- 4:58strategy. It's all about the mindset and
- 5:00creating that cash machine for the
- 5:02longer term. So, let's talk a little bit
- 5:04about
- 5:05how we how we do that and how we create
- 5:07that cash machine.
- 5:09Let's have a look.
- 5:13>> [clears throat]
- 5:17>> Okay.
- 5:18So, week one is building the cash
- 5:20machine.
- 5:23Again, this is really really important.
- 5:25Dr. Stephen Covey always talks about
- 5:27always begin with the end in mind. So,
- 5:29building a cash machine for me was
- 5:31something we all aspire to and I think
- 5:33it's something we all look for. Some of
- 5:34us wanted it in a year or two. Others
- 5:36are a bit more realistic and are willing
- 5:38to put a 15 or 20 year time frame
- 5:39together to create this kind of cash
- 5:41machine that allows us to build a level
- 5:43of wealth where we can take our hands
- 5:44off the wheel. We can live comfortably
- 5:47and we can also pass things down to the
- 5:48next generation. So, today we're going
- 5:50to talk about a couple of things. The
- 5:51first thing is the wealth pyramid, where
- 5:53you sit on the wealth pyramid, the five
- 5:55levels of investing, and how everyday
- 5:57Australians can build on a cash machine,
- 5:59and which is what we're going to talk
- 6:00about.
- 6:01So, next.
- 6:04What is real wealth, and what does
- 6:06wealth really mean to you? I think it's
- 6:08really, really important.
- 6:10Um
- 6:11I guess to start with the on the bottom
- 6:12right there, we're talking about less
- 6:14than 1% Approximately 1% of Australians
- 6:17never become truly financially free, and
- 6:19that's quite amazing.
- 6:21Super alone is not going to get you
- 6:22there. Now, I'm quite realistic here.
- 6:23I've probably got another 20 years
- 6:24before I retire. I know um
- 6:27they're already working on it. They're
- 6:28going to find a way to tax super. So,
- 6:30even if I've got a million or 2 million
- 6:31dollars in super by the time I retire, I
- 6:33could probably kiss most of that away on
- 6:35taxes. And the other thing is, there's
- 6:36certainly going to be no pension by the
- 6:38time I get there. So, I've got to take
- 6:39matters into my own hands. And
- 6:41previously, my third ever Market Room,
- 6:43if you want to go back and look at it,
- 6:44is why investing is no longer option.
- 6:47There's a great divide there, and that
- 6:49divide is going to get further and
- 6:50further apart unless you start investing
- 6:52and creating the the life you want and
- 6:54the life you deserve. So, for me,
- 6:56getting into that 1%, I had to do
- 6:58something different, and this is what
- 6:59led me to to follow down this path. So,
- 7:02most people chase money and think it
- 7:04equals wealth. That's not right. Money
- 7:05is only the vehicle. True wealth is a
- 7:07product of the mind. We're talking about
- 7:09things like health and wealth,
- 7:10relationships, um growth, and
- 7:12contribution.
- 7:14My goal, and what I wanted to achieve,
- 7:17uh was for my family, for myself, um and
- 7:20then I'm attaching those types of things
- 7:21to my goals and my cash machine.
- 7:24Do you have a number for your cash
- 7:25machine?
- 7:26That's a really interesting question,
- 7:27because most people I meet, and I've met
- 7:29thousands of investors, don't actually
- 7:31know what that number looks like.
- 7:33If you don't know what that number looks
- 7:34like, we've got a webinar coming up next
- 7:36week, and I'm actually going to help you
- 7:38with with the help of help of Michael
- 7:39Yardney,
- 7:40help you find a number. What is your
- 7:43number? We're going to help you find
- 7:44that cash machine number then we're
- 7:45going to reverse back and talk about it
- 7:47and work towards that number and that's
- 7:49certainly what I've been doing over the
- 7:50last 15 to 16 years growing that cash
- 7:53machine and working through that
- 7:54process.
- 7:57As we spoke about everyone searching for
- 7:59that cash machine and everyone wants a
- 8:00quick and easy option, but unfortunately
- 8:02that's not out that's not a a
- 8:04possibility. But wouldn't it be great,
- 8:06you know, you go on holidays, you wake
- 8:08up in the morning, you go away on the
- 8:10weekend and you come back with more
- 8:12income or more wealth than what you left
- 8:14with. It's that reoccurring cash machine
- 8:16reoccurring income. It continues to
- 8:18churn out money again and again. It
- 8:21keeps the rent growing and we don't know
- 8:22what's going to happen to rents at the
- 8:23moment. The value of the property also
- 8:25keeps growing and compounding and you've
- 8:28got a team to run it. You've got a team
- 8:29of property managers and advisors that
- 8:31can work through that. So an asset base
- 8:33that pays you regardless of how hard you
- 8:34work.
- 8:35And Michael used to start his seminars
- 8:37by saying hands up if you work hard and
- 8:39everybody used to put their hands up.
- 8:41And then he used to ask how
- 8:43hands up keep your hands up if you're
- 8:44wealthy and most of the hands would
- 8:45obviously go down. So
- 8:47money and hard work is not correlated to
- 8:50wealth unfortunately and that was
- 8:51something that appealed to me. I knew I
- 8:53was smart enough and I knew I work hard,
- 8:55but I also wanted to find a way to be
- 8:56able to to be able to create that
- 8:58wealth.
- 8:59And if you can build it through
- 9:00residential property or a mix of
- 9:01different things, hold it for the longer
- 9:03term and manage it by professional
- 9:05you're going to end up in front. Let's
- 9:06talk about the wealth pyramid and
- 9:08perhaps you can identify where you are
- 9:09on the wealth pyramid and that pyramid
- 9:11and that will allow us to put some steps
- 9:13in place to help you get to the next
- 9:14levels.
- 9:15Financial instability is living paycheck
- 9:17to paycheck. Financial stability is
- 9:19having a buffer in place
- 9:21where you stop working, you've got a
- 9:22buffer in place for a period of time,
- 9:24you're covering your expenses. Financial
- 9:26security is the next level where it
- 9:27covers the basics, then it covers the
- 9:29basics and your lifestyle and finally
- 9:32the end goal, the target is that
- 9:33financial abundance. And as I said
- 9:35before, less than 1% of people actually
- 9:37get to that point.
- 9:39So, the instability, um I guess is is
- 9:41that living on the edge, you're living
- 9:42paycheck to paycheck. It only takes a
- 9:45broken car or, you know, um a job loss
- 9:47or a sickness, uh and all of a sudden
- 9:50your money becomes debt. For those who
- 9:51are struggling, it's going to be credit
- 9:53card debt. For others, it's just an
- 9:54endless cycle. It's an endless wheel
- 9:56that goes round and round. So, the way
- 9:58out of that is mindset, education, and
- 10:01taking responsibility of your cash flow.
- 10:04It's so hard these days with Instagram
- 10:06and Facebook and pop-ups delivering all
- 10:08these kinds of things to live within
- 10:10your means. But, the other thing to do
- 10:12is actually find a mentor.
- 10:13You know, whether it's property, whether
- 10:15it's sport, if I was going to go and
- 10:16climb a mountain, I want to work it with
- 10:18someone who's actually climbed a
- 10:19mountain before, knows the the pathway,
- 10:21the ins and outs, and that's going to
- 10:23make me much more successful and much
- 10:25more efficient. So, that's really,
- 10:26really important. Unfortunately, most
- 10:28people go it alone, and that's where
- 10:29they fail.
- 10:30The next one is the financial stability.
- 10:32It's having that first 3 to 6 months in
- 10:34the buffer, and also making sure
- 10:37when you jump on a plane, you fit your
- 10:39own mask first before you fit everyone
- 10:41else's, fasten your own seatbelt, get
- 10:43your insurances right, your private
- 10:45medical insurance, disability, um to
- 10:47make sure that you are the most
- 10:49important asset, and you need to keep
- 10:50working to create income to feed this
- 10:52cash machine.
- 10:54Your cash flow, unfortunately, is still
- 10:55controlled by someone else at this
- 10:57stage, either a business or your boss or
- 10:58your clients, and you're kind of on a
- 11:00treadmill. So, the goal here is
- 11:02investing in your own financial
- 11:03education and start building your cash
- 11:05machine. And how do we do that?
- 11:07Well, we get to that that next level
- 11:09where we're covering all our bases, our
- 11:10home, our tax, and our loans are
- 11:12covered, our car expenses and groceries
- 11:14and insurance premiums, all those
- 11:16different things are covered. You're
- 11:17focusing on building net worth through
- 11:19appreciating assets. So, this is the
- 11:21accumulation phase of the process, where
- 11:24you're building those assets, you're
- 11:25kind of manufacturing growth, building
- 11:27that cash flow towards the end, and then
- 11:29later in level two you begin shifting
- 11:31from capital gains because you've got
- 11:32the compounding, you've got the growth
- 11:34and the leverage, and now it's about
- 11:36debt reduction and creating that cash
- 11:38machine. Probably over the last five or
- 11:40six years before you retire to get into
- 11:41a point where you not only got the
- 11:43security, you've also got the basics
- 11:44covered, and then you've also got that
- 11:46financial abundance. So, financial
- 11:48freedom is when you've got both things
- 11:49covered. Financial abundance is the
- 11:51ultimate target. A small group of people
- 11:54whose cash machine works overtime. All
- 11:57expenses and lifestyle are covered,
- 11:58generous surplus goes to community and
- 12:00charity, and asset base just keeps
- 12:02compounding. That is the goal.
- 12:05Um unfortunately, most people are
- 12:06impatient. They want it to happen
- 12:07overnight. It's going to take you at
- 12:09least 20 15 to 20 years, and you've got
- 12:12to be realistic about this. You've got
- 12:13to stop trading time for money, and
- 12:16you've got to start thinking differently
- 12:18about growth and compound and leverage.
- 12:21So, no matter what side or what part of
- 12:24the pyramid you're on, here's four
- 12:26simple steps to get that right. Number
- 12:28one, and this is the thing that most
- 12:30people struggle with, spend less than
- 12:32you actually earn.
- 12:35The non-negotiable starting point, you
- 12:36have to spend less than you earn.
- 12:38Overspending and you'll work you'll be
- 12:39working forever to pay others off.
- 12:41Invest the difference wisely.
- 12:43You know, $90,000 a year could be three
- 12:45and a half to four million dollars over
- 12:47the period of your lifetime. Um but they
- 12:49retire with little. Income is isn't a
- 12:52predictor, and I've worked with many
- 12:53people that have had higher incomes than
- 12:55other people, but they don't get the
- 12:56basics right, and then reinvest for
- 12:59compound growth. Don't reinvest for cash
- 13:01flow. By the time you're financially
- 13:03free, most of your wealth will come from
- 13:05compounding growth, not income or rent,
- 13:08and then just keep repeating the
- 13:10process. When you're got the ability to
- 13:12extend, keep extending. And what you'll
- 13:14find is once you've got that first
- 13:15property out of the way, you can then
- 13:16begin to use your equity strategically
- 13:19by not putting any of your own money in,
- 13:21by having buffers, and it gets a lot
- 13:23easier. But we've got to get the first
- 13:25part right. That's critical.
- 13:28Again, talking about multiple income
- 13:30streams. Back in the 50s, there was only
- 13:32one income. It was very simple, very
- 13:34easy. As we progress through life, now
- 13:36we need two incomes and maybe I'm seeing
- 13:38more part-time jobs being created
- 13:40because cost of living prices and things
- 13:41like that are going up, but people are
- 13:43investing more in property and shares
- 13:45and ETFs and managed funds and they've
- 13:47got a number of income streams coming
- 13:49into their life and that's really,
- 13:50really important.
- 13:52Also, important is reoccurring income
- 13:55and this is a really unique concept. We
- 13:57sit with a lot of people who want to
- 13:58create wealth by property and become
- 14:00property developers or they want to flip
- 14:02properties.
- 14:03That is not creating wealth because
- 14:06that's not reoccurring income. You have
- 14:08to work, you get linear income by
- 14:09producing a property or developing a
- 14:11property and then selling it. In 20
- 14:13years time, you don't have the cash
- 14:15machine. You might have the income and
- 14:17the cash which you would get from a
- 14:18normal job, but you don't actually have
- 14:21something that's going to keep growing
- 14:22and compounding and leveraging. Once you
- 14:24stop, the whole thing stops. So, getting
- 14:26that recurring income, the continual
- 14:28rent from your investment properties,
- 14:29the royalties, capital growth while
- 14:32you're sleeping, the easiest way for you
- 14:34to make a million dollars in the next
- 14:35decade is to buy a $1 million property,
- 14:38forget all about it and concentrate on
- 14:39paying down some of the debt.
- 14:41And again,
- 14:42allow that compounding to take over. And
- 14:44again, there's nothing wrong with
- 14:46talking about dividends and shares and
- 14:47we spoke about that last week. Bricks
- 14:49versus stocks, jump on last week's show
- 14:51as well cuz I do think there is a role
- 14:53for both and both play a very important
- 14:56role.
- 14:57Assets, not income, create wealth. You
- 14:59cannot save your way to wealth. Now, if
- 15:02you're putting some numbers together,
- 15:03you're going to need a million dollars
- 15:05unencumbered for every $30,000 of income
- 15:07at about 3%. If you can get 4% or 5% or
- 15:106%, great, but property generally lands
- 15:12between 3% or 4%. So, if you're going to
- 15:15retire on 100,000, you're going to need
- 15:16about $3 million
- 15:18worth of assets.
- 15:20If I doubled your income today, do you
- 15:22think you'd be able to save $3 million?
- 15:24Highly unlikely, but if we buy a
- 15:26million-dollar property and it grows and
- 15:28compounds and leverage and remove some
- 15:30of the debt, then you've got your $3
- 15:32million giving you an income.
- 15:34So, most people never get past that
- 15:35stage. They keep investing for cash flow
- 15:37and capital growth, which is exactly
- 15:39where most investors get stuck. The rich
- 15:41think assets, the poor think cash flow.
- 15:44And it is incredibly difficult,
- 15:45particularly at this moment in time, to
- 15:47start thinking about asset growth when
- 15:49cost of living's rising. It's really
- 15:51difficult to save in those times of
- 15:53things as well.
- 15:54The five levels of investing, the
- 15:56spender spends everything, there's
- 15:57nothing left. They've got to get through
- 15:58to the next paycheck. The saver pays the
- 16:00family home, squirrels away savings, and
- 16:03again, they're on that rat race. They
- 16:04continue to save and spend, but they're
- 16:06not spending to invest. They're
- 16:08consuming. They're going on holidays.
- 16:09They're buying new cars and things like
- 16:11well, there's got to be a level of
- 16:12sacrifice. The passive investor, always
- 16:15investing matters, but it's financially
- 16:16literate. And they fall into those
- 16:18get-rich-quick schemes. They try a few
- 16:19things here, they try a few things
- 16:21there. They don't work, and they keep
- 16:22moving around. And the active investor
- 16:24takes responsibility, builds knowledge,
- 16:26and focuses on net worth and assets. And
- 16:29finally, the professional investor
- 16:31treats it like a business, runs a true
- 16:33investment business, gets the right
- 16:35structures, has a trusted team, and
- 16:37teaches the next generation. It's the
- 16:39old story. If you're the smartest person
- 16:41in your room, you're probably in
- 16:42trouble.
- 16:45I've always already spoken about this,
- 16:46but I've obviously seen a lot of people
- 16:48who have on higher incomes really
- 16:50struggle because at the end of the day,
- 16:52they're just buying more expensive
- 16:53properties and more expensive cars and
- 16:55more expensive holidays, and they're not
- 16:57dedicating themselves to
- 17:00empowering themselves and investing. Um
- 17:02life keeps getting in the way. Set aside
- 17:04at least 10% of your income. There's
- 17:06some really great banking apps now that
- 17:07allow you to pay yourself first. So, if
- 17:10you put 10% of every pay in an account,
- 17:12that's a great way to start. Live below
- 17:14your means, only spend what's coming
- 17:16into your account, allow yourself to
- 17:18spend some, put that in a bucket, but
- 17:19have some that cannot be touched. And we
- 17:21generally say around 10% and then that
- 17:24can be invested in things like ETFs and
- 17:26shares until you get a big enough
- 17:27deposit to start the process into
- 17:29property.
- 17:30So, where do you sit on the wealth
- 17:31pyramid? Wealth is built from assets,
- 17:33not income. Stop trading time for money.
- 17:36That's not creating wealth. It's
- 17:38probably creating income. Choose
- 17:40compounding and recurring income over
- 17:42linear income. Pay yourself first. Put
- 17:45that 10% into the bank account that gets
- 17:49stuck in the bank account. It's a not
- 17:51touch. It's not a buy a new jet ski or
- 17:52go on a holiday. Allow other buckets and
- 17:55things for that as well.
- 17:56Uh and finally, every level of the
- 17:58pyramid needs better education and a
- 17:59stronger advisory team as you go along.
- 18:02That's really, really important.
- 18:04Subscribe for the next video where we're
- 18:05going to break down why we're using
- 18:07property, why we're using compounding
- 18:09and leveraging, and how we can turn a
- 18:10modest deposit in a multi-million dollar
- 18:13property portfolio. So, I'm really
- 18:15looking forward to talking about that
- 18:16next week.
- 18:17But first, we have some questions here.
- 18:20Um the government want to use us as a
- 18:22cash machine. Absolutely, Darren. I
- 18:23really like that one.
- 18:25>> [snorts]
- 18:25>> Um how do I figure out what my critical
- 18:27mass number is? I'm glad you asked. Hang
- 18:29around. We're going to have a webinar.
- 18:31Um the quickest and easiest way
- 18:33obviously is just to understand where
- 18:34you'd like to be, understand what your
- 18:35costs are, consider that at that time
- 18:37you may not have a mortgage, but we'll
- 18:39unpack some of that now
- 18:40um in our webinar next week. So, we'll
- 18:42talk through that as well. Um love a
- 18:44cash machine, don't we? Or what evidence
- 18:47you have to say rents are rising? Some
- 18:49data would be great, please. Uh
- 18:52just put are rents rising into Google
- 18:54and you get 15,000 different sources.
- 18:56Uh there's also some some data on
- 18:59CoreLogic. Uh if you go to Property
- 19:01Update, Michael Yardney's Property
- 19:02Update, he just put together every month
- 19:05he puts together uh 20 charts uh that
- 19:07explain what's happening in the market.
- 19:09There's some really, really good tools
- 19:10there.
- 19:11Um so, have a jump on there and and and
- 19:13look at those numbers. They're actually
- 19:14going crazy at the moment. The
- 19:16government need to slow down their
- 19:17spending. It's not helping inflation. I
- 19:19couldn't agree more. Um, absolutely.
- 19:21Can someone build a cash machine with
- 19:23just one or two properties or does that
- 19:24require scale?
- 19:26You can build wealth with one property.
- 19:28The number of properties are actually
- 19:30irrelevant. It actually doesn't matter
- 19:31how many properties you own. I would
- 19:33prefer to own one $3 million property
- 19:35than 20 properties worth $3 million.
- 19:38These people that own 40, 50, 60
- 19:40properties,
- 19:41at the end of the day, it doesn't really
- 19:42matter. The value of the property
- 19:44matters and also what kind of cash flow
- 19:46it's giving you. As I said before, if
- 19:48you're wanting $100,000
- 19:50in cash flow from your properties,
- 19:51you're probably going to need a $3
- 19:52million asset base. And that may not be
- 19:55one property. It might need to be two or
- 19:57three properties built over time, which
- 19:59we'll get to throughout the series.
- 20:01However, the number of properties are
- 20:03absolutely irrelevant.
- 20:06Right, before we go,
- 20:08um, as I said before, we've got our our
- 20:10webinar coming up next week. Um, if you
- 20:12haven't joined yet, please jump on.
- 20:16Um, I'd love you to join and we're we're
- 20:18obviously going to go through and talk a
- 20:20little bit about
