I’m back for 2022 and this ep is the first “live” episode for the year. Yes, you’ve been listening to the best of 21 for the last four weeks - which I apologise for - but I really needed a break after a big year.
This episode is the pep talk we need to have before you catapult into 2022. What do I see the market doing? What did I observe over the break? Where are we in the cycle? And why is most money and capitalism actually fake? And what impact does that have on you as the investor?
All this and more on the first “real” episode for 2022. Enjoy!
2:05 - I disappeared off the face of the earth for four weeks (and what I observed during the break)
13:54 - There are no more cheap hot spot
22:28 - Case Study: Berry NSW
25:12 - Where I see the market in 2022
28:15 - How To Win Real Estate Monopoly
31:35 - Laziness Has Cost Me BIG TIME
35:36 - Things have changed forever
46:00 - Problems are a sign of life

Welcome to the final “best of” series for the Urban Property Investor. Today’s episode first featured as Episode 50 - How to Create Long Term Wealth. But I’ve had a think about it and it’s really about the megatrends that investors need to know, especially going in to 2022.
Capital growth is soon going to be a niche in real estate and if you don’t follow some of the megatrends today, you are going to be behind in the future. COVID-19 promoted the most profound social and spatial change in living memory, so we are going to talk about those directions in this episode. In 2022 and beyond, we are not going to be investing in the property market anymore, we will be investing in the livability market. So on this episode I discuss what that means for the future of wealth creation through real estate.
I also discuss -
4:36 - Why megatrends are important to your wealth journey
6:20 - COVID-19 is not the end of urbanization
16:40 - How to measure the value of a city
9:35 - 6 subgroups of mission-fit real estate
23:33 - The only thing you can rely on as a property investor
29:09 - The only thing you can rely on as a property investor
34:04 - Property markets or livability markets
43:11 - Your #1 job as a property investor
43:58 - 3 influences to urban mega-trends
45:19 - The world is rediscovering suburbs

Welcome to the BEST of ‘21 series on the podcast! This is week 3 of my four week holiday - and I can’t wait to bring to you my predictions for 2022 in the coming weeks. For now, here’s one of the most downloaded episodes of 2021.
Only 1% of people really succeed with real estate investing. So why do 99% of people fail - and what do you need to do to ensure you’re not one of them? If you own real estate already, today’s show just might burst your bubble. We explore property management and reveal what type of buyer you actually are. Nobody really wants to own anything, because when you own something you have to be accountable for it. So in this episode, we will talk about how to navigate the property owning journey. Because often the conversation in real estate is centered around buying and selling. But what about the big part in the middle? Welcome to Episode 78 of the Urban Property Investor!
On this episode -
4:40 - Why 99 percent of people fail in real estate
10:21 - Common problems with owning real estate
11:38 - What you can’t control when you own real estate
18:56 - Behavioral economics trumps everything else
22:23 - Invest in walkable urbanism
23:39 - Half of Australia is broke
