The Urban Property Investor

Regional Property Investing Pros and Cons

Once upon a time this show could have been called the Regional Property Investor. Because I’ve invested in nearly every corner of the country! From towns you’ve never heard of to big regional centres, I’ve done my time in Australia’s less population regions. 

 

So today I’m going to answer a question that I get asked a lot! Should I invest in regional towns, and if so where?

 

So today I’ll go through the pros and cons, the differences, the similarities and more. I’ll take you through some of the best and worst investments I’ve seen in the regional marketplace as well as what to look out for in regionals moving forward. 

 

I discuss - 

 

0:42 - Regional Property Investor’s 

 

3:42 - What regional pieces are in my portfolio?

 

14:39 What are the regional market drivers?

 

29:59 - Millennial upgrade, what does it mean?

How to Win With Airbnb & Short Stay Investing

Will investing for Airbnb deliver a bigger and better profit for you? 

On this episode I’m talking all things short stay accommodation. The intangibles, the secrets, the hidden profits as well of the obvious ones. 

Winning at short stay is not about buying a property and sticking it on airbnb. Success is far more nuanced than that, but also relies on the same approach we take with investing in other markets. 

There’s no doubt that short stay is becoming more and more of a property investors delight. With potential for quick turnarounds and providing a personal holiday experience what’s not to like? 

I discuss - 

3:06 - What is going on?!

5:27 - Capital Growth Before Anything

23:37 - How to Rise the Rankings on Airbnb

36:08 - Lifestyle investing

The Psychology of Wealth Creation

Do you have the psychology to be wealthy? Truly wealthy? I’m talking the ability to look rejection in the face and not be turned off by it. Do you have the belief system to ask for help? Can you ask for money and seize opportunity when it strikes? 

Are you happy? And if not, how is that impacting your money mindset? Would you say that your wellbeing is up to standard? How does this affect your investing journey? 

Answers to these questions and more are the foundation of today’s episode.

How To Invest When Inflation Is Hitting a 30 Year High!

The average Aussie is worth $532,000! That’s right, if you’re not near that figure, you’re behind the average - and I want you to pick up your game! We are the 13th richest country on planet earth, so you either play at the level that the country finds itself in, or you get left behind and live in relative poverty. Lifestyle can be a brutal sport, but this is the game we find ourselves in. 

With inflation getting set to hit 30 year highs, investors more than ever need to know the rules of the game in a sport where interest rates are rising, cost of living is rising, which means rents are rising - and who collects the rents?! That’s right, the investor. 

In this episode I’ll take you through what all of this means. From booming prices in seafood and lettuce, to the crazy world out there and even crazier property market. Take some notes, and then go out and play some golf!

I discuss plenty, including - 

2:32 Inflation headed for 30 year high!

27:10 The Average Aussie is worth $532,000

I talk about so much on this episode, including -

• The right way to find an accountant
• The difference between positive and negative cashflow
• Why positive cashflow properties can be fools gold
• Where you can still get positive cashflow (but won’t get capital gains)

10:24 - Country Town Profit

23:54 - Truth about Cash Flow Properties
