More than one quarter of all suburbs in Australia are considered “smart”. Do you know what that means? If not, then this episode will explain all.
When I went to school, one in ten students went on to get an undergraduate degree. These days, it’s at 50%! We are becoming a smart nation, and real estate grows in areas where smart people live.
So, if you’ve been tempted to buy that bargain basement property in a place where no one will live in the future, you’ve arrived just in time!
Real estate wealth lives in smart cities and smart neighbourhoods. Know where they are, invest in them, and real estate wealth is yours.

Even though it’s the toughest of times for so many, economic downturns signify a new era of wealth building and represent an incredible opportunity to achieve capital growth.
This episode is dedicated to outlining how capital growth will be 20% + by 2022 (as projected by Westpac) and why now is the best time to take advantage of it.
The next 18 months signify perhaps the most important times for property investors and wannabe property investors. As I say towards the end of the episode, if you don’t get in now, you might be waiting for a very long time before you can afford to get into the property market.

22 million out of Australia’s 25 million live in the urban world. From capital cities and large regional centres, most of us live very close together. And that won’t be changing anytime soon.
And whilst many people are working from home at the moment, the digital age will not destroy the physical way of life. Instead, we are now living in the phygital world - the combination of the physical and the digital. And as a property investor, it’s paramount to know what this means for real estate.
8:21 - The New World Is Phygital
11:33 - Masterclass: The Four Types Of Cities
21:25 - How the Office Market works
29:18 - The WeWork Model

There are five groups of home buyers that create a boom market in real estate. They are -
1) First home buyers
2) Downsizers
3) Upgraders
4) Investors and
5) Foreign investors.
When all of those groups shop at once, you have a feeding frenzy, also known as a property boom!
On this episode I want to focus on one big feeder - foreign investment - and explain to you how it works, and most importantly, why it can help you unlock the code of real estate wealth.
9:51 - How a boom works
11:20 - How The Government command the economy
13:00 - Why Sydney boomed between 2013 and 2017

Get ready for a trip back to the future! This episode is a bit of a brain bender in that you may never think of real estate in the same way ever again!

Real estate is experiencing a metamorphosis from space to place. What do I mean? Check it all out on this episode.
I discuss -
3:25 - Beach tracks and red doors in Scotlands. Desire Lines are everywhere and they impact all of us
