Most of us have visions of sharing a home with the person we love. However, in Australia and many other countries real estate owes a large part of its success to divorce! Approximately 50% of marriages end up down the drain, leaving many to look for new shelter. In 2019 113,000 marriages and 49,000 divorces were granted in Australia, whilst the ABS has the median duration of a marriage at 12.2 years.
Married or divorced, single or loved up, this episode cracks the code of winning in love and money.
Righto, I’m off to get married!

Wanting to start a reno but not sure where to begin?
It’s so enticing to renovate as soon as you buy an investment property - but if you choose well and think wisely, you’re better off waiting ten years and renovating with equity instead of cash.
Most people want to do a structural renovation on their home or IP, but often all that’s required is a cosmetic renovation. Unless you’re a professional renovator, structural renovation can be a major time and money blowout, not to mention the emotional investment!
On this episode I discuss the variety of renovating options available to you.
Also, I reference design logic - which has an episode all to itself on Episode 17 - The Secret Language of Real Estate.
Enjoy!
3:26 - Why Renovating Is So Popular
7:02 - Renovation traps
10:08 - Become a 10 Year Renovator
14:12 - The 4X Growth Plan and how it relates to renovation decisions
25:08 - The 10/30 rule
31:26 - How to renovate using equity instead of cash
36:05 - Structural vs Cosmetic Renovation
