The Property Tax Pivot Nobody Saw Coming

Sat, 02 May 2026 07:00:00 +1000

Days before the Federal Budget, the property tax reform being discussed has shifted into something fundamentally different... and the structural mechanics of the new policy may do the exact opposite of what it claims to do. We unpack what's actually being proposed, why it's designed to fail at its own stated objective, and what it actually means for property investors right now.

See you on the inside!

Should I Be Investing in Times Like These?

Sat, 04 Apr 2026 17:00:00 +1000

Fuel prices have nearly doubled. Two back-to-back rate hikes. Consumer confidence at its lowest point in over 50 years. A war in the Middle East.

Should you be investing right now? It's a fair question.

This week, we sit down and work through it honestly. We unpack what's actually happening with fuel supply (it's not what the headlines suggest), what the 1970s oil crisis tells us about investing through periods like this, and what Australian property has done through every major crisis since 2001.

We also run through a scenario analysis overlaying 1970s conditions onto today's market, and talk through how to think clearly about your own situation when everything around you feels chaotic.

Not a pep talk. Just an honest conversation.

If you're looking for signal in all this noise, this is it.

Australia Hasn't Been This Scared Since COVID. Here's What It's Costing You.

Sat, 21 Mar 2026 20:00:00 +1000

You know that satisfying feeling of cancelling a subscription you forgot you were paying for? What if we told you there's one running right now... and it's costing you $275 a day.

With back-to-back rate hikes, a war in the Middle East, and consumer confidence at its lowest since COVID lockdowns, a lot of people have quietly hit pause on their financial future.

We call that the Fear Tax: the invisible, compounding cost of letting uncertainty keep you on the sidelines. We walk through every major crisis since 2001, what happened to property through each one, and why the most expensive thing you can do right now is nothing.

CGT, Affordability & War: The Topics Every Property Investor Is Thinking About Right Now

Sat, 07 Mar 2026 20:00:00 +1000

The CGT discount might be changing. The property market is in a frenzy. There's a war in the Middle East. And everyone's frozen.

This week we pull apart the three topics every Australian property investor is thinking about right now — and why most people are reacting to them wrong.

These are the conversations we're having at the dinner table. Now they're on camera.

See you on the inside,

In this episode we cover:
0:00 Why people freeze when there's noise in the market
7:53 CGT discount changes: what's actually being proposed
14:45 Running the numbers: 50% vs 25% discount
24:49 The contrarian take: why CGT changes are actually bullish for property
32:10 How affordability is changing where and what to invest in
46:00 Houses vs units
56:30 Land size doesn't drive growth the way people think

The Wealth Window Is Closing (Why You Need To Act Now)

Sat, 21 Feb 2026 20:00:00 +1000

The economy isn't just broken. It's splitting — and most people have no idea what's going on.

This week, Goose and Gabi break down a concept everyone needs to understand right now: the K-Shaped Economy. Two trajectories. Two very different futures. And what you can actually do about it.

Here's the uncomfortable truth: working hard isn't enough anymore. The rules have changed, the gap is widening — and the window to get on the right side of it won't be open forever.

Stop Worrying About Interest Rates.

Sat, 07 Feb 2026 20:00:00 +1000

Interest rates just went up again — and right on cue, everyone lost their minds.

This week, we've brought in Julien Mougenot, Head of Dashdot Technology, to do something wild: pull apart our own original correlation research — live, on air — and break down what the data actually says in real time.

We ran a fresh correlation analysis (literally 24-48 hours before this conversation) comparing median sales price growth against interest rates, interest rate changes, and M3 money supply across every major market in Australia.

The findings? They'll challenge everything you thought you knew about the relationship between rates and property prices.

Here's what we unpack:

Why interest rates and property prices are actually positively correlated (yes, they tend to move in the same direction)
The real driver behind Australian property prices — and it's not rates
How COVID fundamentally changed the way property markets behave
What compressed market cycles mean for your investment strategy
Why chasing hotspots without a system is the new trap

This one gets nerdy. There are heat maps, correlation tables, and a genuine live analysis on what all this data really means.

If you want to understand what's actually driving the market right now — not what the headlines tell you — this is the episode.

See you on the inside.

How To Get Rich Doing Nothing (Using Property)

Sat, 24 Jan 2026 20:00:00 +1000

Think you'll need to keep buying properties forever? You won’t. Today, Goose is showing you how just a few focused years of active property investing can be enough to set yourselves up for life — and how, after that, time and growth can do most of the work. You're in for a grounded take on property investing, restraint, and building wealth that doesn’t require constant action.

Why We Invest

Sat, 10 Jan 2026 20:00:00 +1000

Most people think investing is about getting rich or buying nicer things. It isn’t.

This episode explores the real reason we invest: to create choice, time, and presence when life becomes unpredictable.

Investing isn’t about luxury or status — it’s about removing hesitation from the moments that matter most. It’s about having the resources to put people first, to make decisions without fear or regret, and to protect the most valuable asset we have: time.

Because life doesn’t give warnings. And the moment you need financial freedom is never the moment you can start building it.

This is a conversation about investing as a tool for living well — not someday, but when it counts.

State of the Market: How to Win in the Toughest Conditions in a Decade

Sat, 13 Dec 2025 20:00:00 +1000

Is the property market broken, or are you just playing by the old rules?

If you’re a buyer right now, you can feel it: the goalposts have moved. The strategies that worked in 2024 (and even early 2025) are now the exact reason buyers are getting stuck, outbid, or left behind.

In this state of the market episode, we’re welcoming back Sean Simpson (Dashdot's Head of Property), to round out the year & break down exactly what is happening on the ground as we head into 2026. We’re stripping away the headlines to look at the structural shifts in supply and the "hidden" traps catching smart buyers off guard.

Most importantly, we’re handing you the new playbook. This isn’t about waiting for the "right time" — it’s about having the right protocol to win in the toughest conditions we’ve seen in a decade.

In this episode:

Why the market feels "irrational" (and why it’s actually perfectly logical)
The supply lag and buyer pool data you haven't seen
Why your "common sense" negotiation tactics will cause you to lose in 2026
A step-by-step protocol to regain control and buy with confidence

Stop guessing. Start strategising.

Has APRA Killed Investment Lending? (What It Means for 2026)

Sat, 06 Dec 2025 20:00:00 +1000

APRA has announced a new round of lending changes, including updates to DTI rules — and the headlines are loud.

But what do these changes actually mean for the Australian property market?
And more importantly… what do they mean for your as an investor or homebuyer heading into 2026?

In today’s episode, Callum's back as we break down:

what APRA has introduced
who is most likely to feel the impact
how banks and lenders may respond
the flow-on effects for borrowing power and strategy
how the market has reacted to similar interventions in the past
and what to consider as you plan your next move

No hype. No panic.
Just a clear, grounded conversation about how these changes shape the road ahead — and what to be aware of as the lending landscape evolves.

If you’ve been wondering “what does this actually mean?”, this episode is for you.

Sat, 08 Nov 2025 20:00:00 +1000

How this fits into today’s lending climate (rates, buffers, and real borrowing capacity)
Practical moves if you invest via entities, or you’re deciding whether you should
The playbook to keep progressing responsibly in 2025/26

Australia's Property Market Is About To Explode (Here's Why)

Sat, 25 Oct 2025 20:00:00 +1000

The signals are everywhere if you know where to look. While most investors are distracted by headlines, we've uncovered the perfect storm of conditions brewing in Australia's property market. This week, we dissect the five macro forces that historically predict major price movements - and right now? They're all pointing in the same direction...

We reveal:

The RBA's coming rate cuts and the liquidity tsunami that follows
Australia's worsening supply crisis (and why building approvals keep falling)
The 300,000+ migration wave colliding with relaxed foreign investment rules
How the First Home Buyer scheme is supercharging specific price points
Why consumer confidence is finally turning positive after years of decline

Plus: Why some areas could see 20-30% growth while others might see just 0-5% (and how to position yourself for the winners)

This isn't speculation - it's a data-driven forecast of where capital is flowing and why the window for action is rapidly closing. The lifeboat is leaving the shore - will you be on it?

Managing a Market Meltdown: What Smart Investors Do When Chaos Strikes

Sat, 18 Oct 2025 20:00:00 +1000

We just witnessed one of the wildest days in recent financial history — a $20 billion crypto liquidation, a tariff tweet that sent global equities tumbling, and panic rippling through every asset class.

In this episode, we unpack what really happened — the triggers, the mechanics, and the mindset behind surviving (and even thriving) through chaos.

Here’s what we’ll cover:
* What triggered the crash — and how a single announcement cascaded across global markets
* How leverage and liquidity fuel financial firestorms — why crashes move faster now than ever
* The mindset of resilient investors — how to stay calm, manage risk, and seize opportunity
* Why real assets matter — the case for property and other stable investments when everything else melts down

We’ll also share actionable lessons on managing yourself, your capital, and your position, ready for the next recovery.

Key Takeaway: Chaos doesn’t destroy wealth — it transfers it. The question is, are you prepared to be on the right side of that transfer?

See you on the inside.

Why You Feel Poorer Even as the World Gets Richer

Sat, 11 Oct 2025 20:00:00 +1000

Why does life keep getting more expensive, even as technology makes everything cheaper?

Every year, we produce more, innovate faster, and work harder. Yet somehow, it feels harder than ever to get ahead.

This episode reveals why that feeling isn’t a failure… its design.

We uncover the hidden architecture of inflation: the mechanisms, incentives, and feedback loops that keep modern economies running on perpetual money creation.

Inflation isn’t random. It’s engineered.
And understanding how it works explains why you feel poorer in our most technologically-advanced age yet.

Here’s what we’re unpacking:
* Why “growth” has become a disguise for dilution
* How new money always flows to the ultra-wealthy first (the Cantillon Effect in modern form)
* The missing prosperity that technology should have delivered, and who’s capturing it instead
* Why governments can’t stop printing (and why inflation is now policy, not accident)
* How the system feeds on productivity itself, keeping you running faster but never getting ahead

If you’ve ever felt like you’re running faster but standing still, this episode will show you why.

See you on the inside.

SERIES: Why Getting Ahead Is Getting Harder (and What To Do About It)

Have you noticed that, no matter how hard you work, it feels harder to get ahead?

Wages look bigger, property prices keep climbing, and the headlines say Australia is richer than ever. But for many households, the reality is the opposite — pay rises don’t stretch, saving feels impossible, and the dream of home ownership slips further away.

In this new mini-series — Why Getting Ahead Is Getting Harder (and What To Do About It) — we expose the hidden forces behind the squeeze: from the illusion of prosperity created by money supply growth, to the widening divides between owners and non-owners, to the strategies you can use to protect yourself and build real wealth today.

The old rules no longer work: work hard, save diligently, and expect security.

The new rules are here. And in this series, we’ll show you how to use them to your advantage.

Turning Property Wealth Into Retirement Income

Sat, 20 Sep 2025 21:00:00 +1000

Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community

So you’ve built wealth in real estate and you’re approaching retirement… now what?

This week, we’re exploring the different ways property investors might think about turning a portfolio into retirement income. Should you sell and redeploy into higher-yield assets? Refinance and draw on equity? Pay down debt to free up cashflow? Or move some capital into other assets for flexibility?

Instead of theory, we’ll treat this like a live portfolio strategy session - walking through scenarios and considering how the balance between growth, income, leverage, and risk can shift as you move from the accumulation years into retirement.

What we’ll cover:

When selling makes sense vs when to hold
How refinancing, restructures, and top-ups could help fund retirement
Why debt strategy in retirement often flips the script from the accumulation phase
Balancing cashflow, equity growth, and risk in later life

Whether you’re 5 years away or 25, this is exploring ways to build wealth that doesn’t just look good on paper, it funds the lifestyle you actually want.

The Great Melt-Up: When Trust in Money Dies

Sat, 13 Sep 2025 21:00:00 +1000

Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community

What happens when trust in money dies?

History shows it’s never gentle. From Rome’s slow debasement of silver to Weimar’s wheelbarrows of paper, every fiat collapse follows the same pattern: debasement → recognition → flight → failure.

In this episode, we explore The Great Melt-Up — the moment when the illusion of stability shatters, and people rush to exchange paper promises for anything real: bread, fuel, gold, real estate, even Bitcoin.

We’ll trace the cycle across centuries, uncover why inflation isn’t an accident but deliberate policy, and explain how it flips the script — savers lose, debtors win, and wealth shifts silently but brutally.

Most importantly, we’ll zoom in on today:

Why some currencies collapse overnight… and others rot slowly for centuries
The hidden laws that drive people to hoard, dump, or flee money when trust breaks
How gold, property, and even debt can flip from liabilities to lifelines in a melt-up
The eerie pattern linking Rome’s denarius, Weimar’s marks, and today’s dollars

This isn’t theory. It’s a timeless sequence — and it’s happening now.

Fiat is the guillotine. Assets are the ladder. The choice is yours.

See you on the inside.

The Illusion of Prosperity: Why Getting Ahead Feels Impossible

Sat, 06 Sep 2025 21:00:00 +1000

Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community

We’re told Australia is richer than ever.

GDP is booming. Wages look bigger. Property prices keep climbing.

But if that’s the case, why does it feel like you’re working harder just to stay in place?

This is Part 1 of our new series — Why Getting Ahead Is Getting Harder (and What To Do About It).

This week, we’re exploring The Illusion of Prosperity — the gap between what the numbers say and what households actually feel. We’ll uncover:

Why 'economic growth' is more mirage than reality
How individual prosperity has collapsed by 99% over the past six decades.
Why pay rises don’t stretch like they used to.
The housing paradox: unaffordable for new buyers, yet still a wealth rocket for owners.

👉 This conversation sets the foundation for the series, showing why the “boom” in headlines feels like a squeeze at the dinner table.

See you on the inside.

First Home Guarantee Scheme, Property Scarcity, and Why It Matters for Everyone Else

Sat, 30 Aug 2025 21:00:00 +1000

Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community

What happens when you throw billions of dollars at an asset that’s scarcer than gold?

From October 2025, the Government is about to supercharge demand with its expanded Home Guarantee Scheme (HGS). Promoted as a way to help first-home buyers get into the market with just a 5% deposit, there’ll be no volume caps, no income caps, limited price caps — and the government will guarantee the risk for lenders.

On the surface, this seems like a great thing for affordability - but independent modelling suggests this could pump $10–20 billion in fresh credit into the market in Year 1 alone, adding 20–40k extra buyers. And with housing supply already tight, that extra liquidity doesn’t create new homes — it pushes prices one way only…

In this episode, we break down:
* Why property’s scarcity matters, and how the stock-to-flow lens changes the conversation
* Is real estate more scarce than gold?
* What the new HGS actually is, and how it works
* The likely impact of flooding billions into the housing market

Whether you’re a first home buyer or not, this affects you.

NZ Property Market Crash: What Does It Mean For Australia?

Sat, 23 Aug 2025 21:00:00 +1000

Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community

Headlines say New Zealand’s housing market has “crashed.” Prices are down from their 2021 peak, and the story is making waves across the Tasman. But does it really signal danger for Australian property investors... or is there more to the story?

* Whether Kiwi migration and “capital flight” are influencing Australian property prices.
* The key lessons for Australian investors — and why the fundamentals always win.

Why You Need To Retire Earlier Than You Think

Sat, 26 Jul 2025 21:00:00 +1000

Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community

Everyone plans on living to 85. That's roughly 4,300 weeks.

But the brutal truth? Data shows that your body stops letting you live freely around age 60.

That means you actually have about 3,000 weeks of real freedom. Maybe less.

Then you subtract all those years you wasted being a child (silly), and your current age right now…

Suddenly you're left with a stark reality of just how little time we all have to truly live.

This week on The Investor Lab, we're breaking down the three timelines that actually matter — and why most people are planning their retirement around the wrong one.

This week, we're diving into:

The three clocks running your life: how long you'll live, how long you'll be healthy, and how long you'll be FREE
The shocking data that stops people from living life on their terms
How to front-load the life you want instead of back-loading it to retirement
The vitality action plan — what to do right now, regardless of your current age

Most people think they're planning for 4,300 weeks.
Smart people plan for the 3,000 weeks that actually count.

This isn't about being morbid — it's about being realistic. Our hope is that once you understand this, you'll never think about money, work, or retirement the same way again.

The Prosperity Wave: Positioning for 2030 & the Greatest Wealth Transfer in History

Sat, 19 Jul 2025 21:00:00 +1000

Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community

The world is changing faster than most investors realise. AI is reshaping entire industries. Currencies are being questioned. Traditional investment rules are breaking down.

But what happens beyond 2030?

Our latest research maps out the next two decades - and reveals why the 2030s could trigger the greatest wealth transfer in human history. We're calling it "The Prosperity Wave."

Today we're sharing:

The three phases of transformation - where we are now and what's coming
Beyond 2030: The Prosperity Wave - when abundance economics takes hold
Our "sovereign portfolio" strategy - positioning for the new economy
AI and wealth creation - the $20 trillion opportunity unfolding
Property in transition - which assets thrive in the new paradigm
Early positioning advantages - why the next 5 years are critical

With breakthroughs happening left, right and centre, we're looking at the biggest wealth transfer in generations. The question isn't whether it's coming - it's whether you'll be positioned to benefit.

Why Your Buyers Agent Might Be Leading You Into a Property Trap

Sat, 12 Jul 2025 21:00:00 +1000

Darwin property prices are up 15% this year. That buyers agent you follow is probably excited about it.

They shouldn’t be.

What you’re seeing isn’t genuine market growth - it’s what we call a “babble” (Buyers Agent bubble location) - a fascinating new phenomenon we’re seeing, when multiple buyers agents pile into the same market without proper research, creating artificial demand that inflates prices beyond what the true fundamentals support.

This week on The Investor Lab, we’ve got our Head of Property, Sean Simpson, back on deck to reveal how well-meaning buyers agents are putting their clients into risky situations - and more importantly, how you can protect yourself.

What you’ll discover:

The Darwin dupe - Why these “hot markets” are actually warning signs of Babbles (Buyers Agent bubble locations)
Not all growth is created equal - The difference between sugar hits and sustainable fundamentals, and the right metrics to looks for
The 20-year buy and hold fallacy - Why market cycles are shortening and timing matters more than ever
Portfolio protection - Why you need ongoing reviews, not just a one-time purchase

Sean will show you real examples of “double whammies” - markets where both fundamentals AND buyers agent activity create dangerous bubbles.

This isn’t about bashing buyers agents (most of them mean well!). It’s about understanding why their model is flawed and what sophisticated investors do instead.

Four Global Forces Reshaping Your Financial Future: Are You Ready?

Sat, 05 Jul 2025 21:00:00 +1000

Something doesn't add up.

The headlines say the economy is fine. GDP is growing. Unemployment is low. Markets are hitting records.

But talk to anyone in the real world and they'll tell you it feels like everything is falling apart.

So how can both be true at the same time?

Today on The Investor Lab, we're connecting four massive stories that explain why nothing feels the way the numbers say it should – and more importantly, what it means for your money.

We're digging into:

Australia's Secret Recession – Why millions of Australians are going backwards even though "the economy" is supposedly fine.
The AI Job Apocalypse – It's not coming. It's here. And the numbers will shock you.
The Dollar's Quiet Collapse – The world's reserve currency is having its worst year in 50 years (and most people haven't noticed)
The Great Liquidity Return – Why money is about to flood back into everything, everywhere, all at once.

Each of these stories would be massive on their own. Together? Well, let’s just say… it’s time to pay attention.

Because understanding these four forces isn't just about being informed – it's about positioning yourself for what comes next.

See you on the inside

PS. We've been deep in the research on this, and honestly? Some of what we've found is pretty wild. While it can be unsettling, it also opens opportunities for those who understand what’s truly happening behind the official narratives. Investors who decode the signal will be better positioned to protect and grow their wealth.

How To Build A Property Portfolio That Pays For Itself

Sat, 28 Jun 2025 22:00:00 +1000

Most investors hit a wall after their second property.

The banks say no more borrowing. The negative cashflow is eating into savings. The dream of building a portfolio feels impossible.

The frustrating part? You know you could handle more. You've got the experience, the drive. But between maxed-out borrowing capacity and negative cashflow eating your savings, you're stuck.

But what if your existing properties could fund the next ones?

This week on The Investor Lab, we're diving into the strategy that could very well turn your trapped equity into a self-funding portfolio machine.

Callum Rhodes, Head of Dashdot Finance, is joining us to be pleasantly questioned (cough: grilled) on how smart investors use structures to break through borrowing limits and create portfolios that literally pay for themselves.

What's inside:

How to unlock trapped equity without selling your properties
The structuring strategy that expands your borrowing capacity beyond traditional limits
How to make your negative cashflow properties fund each other

This isn't about finding better deals. It's about using your existing assets strategically to fund your next phase of growth.

What we'll cover:

Why US debt levels have reached an unsustainable tipping point
How America's fiscal crisis directly impacts Australian households
The ripple effects hitting your mortgage, grocery bill, and super balance
Practical strategies to protect your wealth during global currency shifts

From crazy interest rates to pricier petrol, this is about understanding the forces reshaping your financial future – and the specific moves you, in Australia, can make right now.

How AI Will Change Your Economic Future

Sat, 31 May 2025 22:00:00 +1000

"What happens when GDP breaks?"

In Part 2 of our AI series, we move beyond theory — and into the economic quake that's already rumbling beneath our feet.

This isn't about the future of work. It's about what happens when work… just isn't needed anymore.

We unpack the uncomfortable questions most people aren't asking — and why AI is set to break the very foundations of our economic system.

Here's what we explore:

When capital no longer needs labour — how does labour get capital?
The ripple effects of AI-driven deflation
What a post-labour economy could look like (and what that means for you)
The moment when GDP, as we know it, stops making sense

If you've been looking for an explanation of AI & the future of the economy, this is it.

This isn't doom and gloom. But it is a wake-up call.

Because once the disruption starts… it won't wait for you to catch up.

AI Is Here: And Most People Aren’t Ready

Sat, 24 May 2025 22:00:00 +1000

"A century of progress in a decade."

That's not hype – it's what's actually happening with AI right now. And if you're not paying attention, you might miss the biggest economic transformation of our lifetime.

This isn’t another ‘how to write emails with ChatGPT’ episode.

This is a conversation about the real implications of AI — not as a productivity hack, but as a species-level shift that’s already underway.

In Part 1 of this series, we unpack what most people are missing: not just the pace of change, but the scale of it — and why the next few years will feel like living through centuries of progress, all compressed into a single decade.

If it hasn’t hit you yet… it will.

Here’s what we explore:

Why the “AI boom” isn’t just big — it’s species-level
How exponential change tricks your brain (and leaves you behind)
What most experts aren’t saying about what’s coming next
The dangerous comfort of denial — and what to do instead

We’re not fearmongering. But we’re also not sugarcoating.

This is the foundational episode to help you understand what’s happening — so you can prepare, adapt, and make decisions with eyes wide open.

Stay tuned for next week — we’ll pull apart how this likely to completely reshape the economy as we know it.

Is A Supercycle Coming? (Housing Market Outlook)

Sat, 17 May 2025 21:00:18 +1000

House prices climbing. Migration surging. Rental markets tighter than ever…

The whispers of a new property "supercycle" are growing louder by the day.

In this episode of The Investor Lab, we dive deep into the data that suggests Australia might be entering a sustained 2-3 year period of rising property prices - and what that could mean for your investing strategy.

Here's what we unpack:

The key indicators pointing to a potential supercycle
Why this cycle is different from the COVID boom
The structural forces driving a potential multi-year upswing
What smart investors are doing right now to position themselves for what's coming

With construction bottlenecks, record migration, and interest rates stabilising, understanding these shifts could be the difference between catching the wave or missing out entirely.

The Inner Game of Investing

Sat, 10 May 2025 22:00:00 +1000

This conversation isn't about interest rates, the property cycle, or strategy. It's about the emotional friction that keeps smart investors from moving forward — even when the plan is clear.

"I just need to save a bit more first"
"I'll wait until the market settles"
"I'm not quite ready yet"

These aren't just personal thoughts — they're a pattern. One we've seen hundreds of times.

And it's not a strategy problem. It's not about the data, the plan, or the timing.

It's the inner game.

In this episode, we dive into why so many smart, capable people stay stuck on the edge of investing — and what actually moves the needle.

We unpack the psychology of waiting, the emotional loops that masquerade as logic, and how to break free from a mindset that keeps you on pause.

We pull apart:

The real reasons smart people stall, even when the strategy is sound
The mindset patterns we've seen keep people stuck in planning purgatory
How to tell when your 'caution' is actually avoidance
A better question than "Should I invest now?"
How to start moving — even if you're not 100% sure

Trusts & SMSFs: How Advanced Investors Are Rethinking Their Structures in 2025

Sun, 04 May 2025 00:38:21 +1000

Are trusts still the best way to invest in 2025?
Is it smarter to buy in your personal name?
How do SMSFs fit into a modern portfolio strategy?

This week, Goose and Gabi are joined property accounting wizard, Jeremy Iannuzzelli, to explore how advanced property investors are adapting to a changing market — and what you should consider before making your next move.

What we’ll cover:
* Are trusts still the ‘golden child’ to maximise your borrowing capacity?
* When it might actually be smarter to invest in your personal name
* How SMSFs fit into a long-term portfolio growth strategy
* Why the old rules don’t apply anymore — and what to do instead

If you’re serious about portfolio growth, tax strategy, and future-proofing your investments, this session is packed with critical insights for 2025 and beyond.

Tariffs, Trade Wars & What It Means for Your Portfolio

Sat, 12 Apr 2025 22:00:00 +1000

The markets just suffered their biggest weekly drop since the GFC. Headlines are screaming panic. But what if there's a bigger story unfolding – one that could actually set up Australian investors for advantage?

This week on The Investor Lab, we're diving deep into what's really happening behind the market meltdown and emerging trade wars.

Here's what we'll unpack:
* The real story behind Trump's new tariff plan (and why it's reshaping global trade)
* Why tariffs might actually lead to lower prices in Australia (not higher)
* Are we about to head into a recession, or come out of one?
* How this massive market correction could impact your portfolio (for the better)

So if you’re getting caught in the swell, join us on Friday. We’ll break it all down.

How to Create A Property Portfolio Growth Plan

Sat, 29 Mar 2025 21:00:00 +1000

This one's best as a watch-along, folks! Jump onto Youtube and build with us:

Watch here: https://youtube.com/live/jXpb23vT3-w
Create Pathfinder account: https://propertypathfinder.io

Here's a sobering statistic: Less than 1% of property investors ever achieve financial freedom through property.

Even more concerning? 71% get stuck at just one property.

But, finally, there's a solution to break free from these constraints...

You see, the team at Dashdot Technology have been working tirelessly to create revolutionary new solutions to help investors just like you, to plan and achieve success — without all the stress.

In this week’s LIVE episode, we’ll be walking you through the brand new updates to our Portfolio Growth Plan technology on Property Pathfinder, and showing you, step by step, how you can create your own Portfolio Growth Plan, for FREE.

What you'll learn:

What is a Portfolio Growth Plan and why do you need it?
How to build a Portfolio Growth Plan based on your own personal situation, in just a few minutes
How the Portfolio Growth Plan works (and limitations you need to be aware of)
How to run multiple scenarios to find the best path to your goals

We’ll be joined by Dashdot’s Business Innovation Analyst and portfolio strategy wizard, Andy Bernardos, who was on the core team developing this technology, so we can go deep into the weeds of not just how to build a plan, but how the plans actually work.

The Smartest Plan B for Business Owners? Sean's $464k Story

Sat, 22 Mar 2025 19:00:00 +1000

"I had to rebuild both companies after COVID. That's when I realised... I needed something that could grow without consuming my life."

This week, we’re bringing you an exclusive, in-depth client interview with Sean Grant — a serial entrepreneur and long-time Dashdot client.

Sean has built a thriving business empire, but when COVID hit, he realised the need for financial diversification. That’s when he turned to property investing with Dashdot. In this episode, Sean shares:

How he built nearly $500K in equity across two properties
Why he chose property as his Plan B for financial security
The real challenges of investing (yes, things can go wrong!) and how a high-stakes problem was handled
Why he prefers “set and forget” investing over spending hours researching markets
His daughter’s inspiring first investment at just 18 years old

Sean brings 30+ years of business experience and shares candid insights about why he chose property to complement his ventures. His story might just change how you think about building long-term wealth.

If you’re an entrepreneur, business owner, or investor looking for a smarter way to build long-term wealth, you won’t want to miss this one!

Financial Jiu-Jitsu: How to Break Through Your Portfolio's Cashflow Constraints

Sat, 15 Mar 2025 21:00:00 +1000

Right now, your portfolio is facing one of three constraints.

After building over 2500 portfolio plans, trust us… it's not a question of if - it's which one.

This invisible force is why 90% of investors get stuck at just 2 properties, never reaching the 5+ needed for true financial freedom.

In this episode of The Investor Lab, we reveal our framework for breaking through constraints using "Financial Jiu-jitsu" – your ultimate guide to keeping your investment momentum going, no matter what's holding you back.

We cover:

The 3 major constraints every property portfolio faces (capital, debt, and cashflow) and how to identify yours
Practical strategies to overcome limitations using financial jiu-jitsu, including refinancing, debt recycling, and equity optimisation
Why investing is no longer optional in 2025 (and what that means for your strategy)
Real case studies of investors breaking through their constraints

Winning the Investment Game: How to Set & Beat Your Hurdle Rate

Sat, 08 Mar 2025 21:00:00 +1000

How do you know if you're really winning at investing?

Your portfolio might be up this year, but in a world where money is losing value at 10% annually, even positive returns could mean you're falling behind.

But there's a number that changes everything - your personal hurdle rate. It's the crucial metric that helps you to know if you're actually getting ahead - or just keeping afloat.

In this episode, we break down:

How to calculate your personal hurdle rate (the return you actually need to win)
The exact framework Goose & Gabi use to define and exceed their targets
Strategies to beat your hurdle rate using leverage and market timing effectively

Fake Gold? Markets Down? Liquidity Up? – What’s REALLY Going On?

Sat, 01 Mar 2025 21:00:00 +1000

There's financial news happening that you’re probably not hearing about.

This week on The Investor Lab, we break down three massive financial stories that could have a huge impact on investors…

Because the world’s financial system is looking shakier than ever:

RBA Discovered Fake Gold Reserves in Australia? And the US hasn’t audited its gold reserves since 1953? 🧐
Global Liquidity is Rising — but what does that actually mean for investors?
Markets are Bleeding — Nasdaq, S&P 500, BTC, everything. What's going on?

Get ready for a rapid-fire breakdown of what’s real, what’s fake, and what it all means for you as an investor.

The RBA Just Changed the Game — Here’s What It Means for You

Sat, 22 Feb 2025 21:00:00 +1000

It happened.

For the first time since 2020, the Reserve Bank of Australia just cut interest rates.

If you're renting, saving, or paying off a mortgage — this impacts you.
If you buy groceries, travel, or have a credit card — this impacts you.
If you have HECS debt, invest, or just like having money — yep, you guessed it….

So, what does this rate cut actually mean? Is it good news, bad news, or just a bandaid on a broken system?

In this episode of The Investor Lab, we break down:
• The real reason behind the rate cut (it's deeper than the headlines)
• What this means for your rent, salary, savings, and spending power
• How this fits into the global economy (and who's really pulling the strings)
• What's next? More cuts? Inflation? A recession?

This is one of those "if you know, you know" moments—and after this episode, you'll know.

Best case? You’ll be ahead of the game while everyone else is catching up.

Worst case? You’ll walk away with a new dinner party conversation topic ;)

Hold vs Sell: How to Know When to Take Profits

Sat, 15 Feb 2025 19:00:00 +1000

That property in your portfolio that's been performing well... have you been wondering if it's time to cash in? You're not alone.

This week, we're tackling the age-old property investor's dilemma: Hold vs. Sell.

We dove deep into the science and strategy behind knowing exactly when to take profits – and when to hold for another growth cycle.

What you'll learn:
• The truth about 'Buy & Hold' (and why it's not always the best strategy)
• How to read suburb-level data to spot stagnation before it hits
• Real case studies: Including a high-growth property owner facing the "sell or buy more" decision
• Practical frameworks for analysing your own portfolio

If you've been wondering when to hold 'em or when to fold 'em, this is the episode for you.

Bitcoin: Why Every Property Investor Needs to Consider Owning It

Sat, 08 Feb 2025 21:00:00 +1000

You already know that property is one of the best ways to build and protect wealth — that’s why you’re here.

But here’s the thing: our money is broken.

Governments keep printing more of it, eroding its value, and making it harder for everyday investors to get ahead.

Property has been a tried-and-true hedge against this for centuries…

But what if I told you there’s another asset that solves the exact same problem, but is more scarce, more portable, and more accessible to everyday investors?

Bitcoin.

In this week's episode, we dive deep into why every property investor should consider owning Bitcoin and what happens when these two worlds — real estate and digital property — collide.

Here’s what we cover:

The fundamentals of Bitcoin and why it matters more than ever.
Why every property investor should own Bitcoin as part of their portfolio.
How and why Bitcoin is could reach $1 million per coin by 2030.

Real estate is scarce. Bitcoin is even scarcer — with only 21 million coins ever to exist.

While governments can (and will) keep inflating the money supply, nobody can create more Bitcoin or land.

If you’re serious about wealth preservation, you need to understand both.

This episode could reshape how you think about wealth preservation in the digital age.

Follow the Money: How Liquidity Drives Asset Prices (and How You Can Benefit)

Sat, 11 Jan 2025 21:00:00 +1000

Feel like you’re working harder, saving more, and still falling behind? It’s not just you. The secret lies in something most people don’t even think about: global liquidity.

This week, we’re breaking down:

What global liquidity actually means (in plain English so you understand why to pay attention)
Why central banks, not your boss, might determine your financial future.
How liquidity cycles quietly shape property prices, crypto surges, and even your day-to-day spending power.

As we touched on last week, money doesn’t store value like it used to — making investing essential. And liquidity is the reason. This week, we’re diving deeper into how the flow of liquidity impacts where and how you should invest.

If you’ve been wondering why everything feels more expensive, this is the episode that explains it all—and shows you what to do next.

A Tradie’s Journey: From Property Flipping to Holding for Long-Term Gains | #286

Tue, 17 Dec 2024 22:00:00 +1000

Is flipping properties the secret to building wealth?

Or is the buy-and-hold strategy the key to long-term success?

Mathew Russo thinks he has the answer.

A seasoned builder turned property investor, Mat started with renovations and flips, leveraging his construction background to chase big profits.

The returns were rewarding, but the 24-hour workdays and constant hustle?

Not so much.

When their family grew, Mat and his wife knew they had to shift gears.

With Dashdot’s help, they adopted a buy-and-hold strategy, securing a property in Bunbury, WA, that gained over $100K in equity within a year.

Now, Mat’s growing his portfolio while balancing family dinners, running a business, and keeping his sanity intact.

So, if you’ve been wondering whether flipping or holding is the better path to financial freedom, Mat’s hard-earned insights are a must-hear.

Tue, 03 Dec 2024 22:00:00 +1000

Peter Van Der Merwe, a savvy technical writer and the mastermind behind Bright Circle, who shares his compelling journey from the world of writing to property investment.

With the relentless rise of AI impacting his industry, Peter reveals how he transitioned to investing in real estate, inspired by his father’s legacy in the field. Peter faced challenges in finding the right investment properties until he found the expert guidance of Dashdot.

Peter discusses the irreplaceable value of emotional intelligence and creativity—skills that AI simply cannot replicate—and how he plans to use his investments to mitigate the economic shifts brought about by technology while balancing his superannuation contributions.

As a single investor, Peter shares insights into the unique freedoms and challenges of making independent investment decisions, stressing the importance of a solid financial safety net and a diversified portfolio to manage risks.

Looking ahead, Peter outlines his ambitious goal of acquiring eight properties over the next 10 to 15 years, not only for wealth creation but also to create a legacy and give back to the community through his investments.

Peter reflects on the resilience of property as a safe haven in uncertain times, reminding us all of the importance of adaptability in a fast-changing world.

From a $30K Loss to Early Retirement with Claire Westra | #277

Tue, 15 Oct 2024 22:00:00 +1000

Ever feel like you’re navigating the property market blindfolded?

You’re not alone.

Claire Westra, our guest on Dashdot Insider, has been there.

She went all-in on a DIY approach, thinking she could handle it solo—until she found herself frustrated with a property in Toowoomba that sat stagnant for a whole year.

Her first property investment in Brisbane brought some early success, but when the stock market crash hit, it made her rethink everything. That’s when she realised the real cost of relying on emotions and outdated market data.

Claire found Dashdot, and suddenly, everything changed.

Using predictive data and a team of experts, she stopped guessing and started investing. Her goals shifted, too—from dreaming of a forever home to focusing on building a life that gave her freedom. She’s now well on track to early retirement with a thriving portfolio.

Claire’s advice? Don’t go it alone. Get yourself a team—solid professionals who can guide you through the ups and downs. And be open to new strategies, like rent-vesting or even Airbnb.

She’s learned that with the right support, those big, scary goals start to look a whole lot more achievable.

Why?

You see, now, more than ever, it’s simply impossible to save your way to wealth.

The way banks lend money without sufficient reserves is a ticking time bomb.

In this episode of the Dashdot Insider, Goose pulls no punches in venting his frustration at our debt-based monetary system and its impact on property investing. Join us as Goose and Emil break down how this system creates an unfair scenario where the rich get richer simply by understanding and playing the game better.

And if you want strategies on how to secure your financial future in a system that’s set up to work against you, then keep watching ‘til the end.

Remember: in a world where the money game feels like a puzzle, being savvy about your investments is key to staying ahead.

Dashdot Tech Part 3: How We Predict Growth and Rental Increases So Accurately! | #263

Tue, 09 Jul 2024 22:00:00 +1000

Anyone can make rent and price forecasts. But the ability to predict growth and rental increases accurately is next to impossible.

So, how do we do it?

Well, for starters, we’ve got models all powered by machine-learning algorithms.

We're talking about crunching numbers and zapping them with AI magic to predict prices 15 months down the road. We're talking confidence intervals, and predictions so accurate they put weather forecasts to shame.

And did we mention the accuracy? Our models hit the bullseye within 1%, nearly 75% of the time. We're at 85% accuracy on predicting price shifts, and a whopping 98% on foreseeing the not-so-great ones.

But we're not just about numbers and data. We're talking innovation that's turning heads and getting awards.

So join us as Julian Mougenot wraps up with all this mind-bending data and insights for Part 3 of our Dashdot Tech series.

The 6 Big Factors That Will Affect The Property Market In 2024 And Why You Need To Start Planning Now So You Don’t Miss Out! - Part 2 | #253

Tue, 30 Apr 2024 22:00:00 +1000

Here’s a truth bomb:

From 2020 to 2022, the cost of living in Australia has skyrocketed. With the government putting $240 billion into the economy each year, household expenses have been on a continuous rise.

At this rate, living costs could go up even further by 18-20% for a family of four. But it’s not just household expenses going up. With more money going around, property prices are getting pushed upwards, too.

In fact, some properties are already selling for much more than advertised due to high demand and not enough supply. This is squeezing more and more people out of the property market.

So, if you’ve got the means to take advantage of this perfect storm while we’re in it, you better take quick action. If you do, then you could be in for a very good year of investing in property.

So stay informed, have a plan, and seek expert advice to make the most of what is shaping up to be a record-breaking year for property growth.

The 6 Big Factors That Will Affect The Property Market In 2024 And Why You Need To Start Planning Now So You Don’t Miss Out! - Part 1 | #252

Tue, 23 Apr 2024 22:00:00 +1000

We're breaking down what's driving property prices in 2024 and why it's a big deal for investors like YOU.

Property prices have been on the rise, especially for homes under 600k. That’s driven by high interest rates messing with how much people can borrow. Meaning, more folks are scrambling to buy, pushing prices even higher.

And with banks loosening up their lending rules, it's like they're handing out cash left and right.

On top of all that, the government's trying to fix a job shortage by bringing in more migrants, but it's creating a housing mess in the process. Looks like they're solving one problem by making another.

For the average joe, this all smells like trouble. But for investors like you, it's a golden opportunity.

With hardly any empty rentals and properties already worth more than what tenants are paying, you're sitting pretty.

So, buckle up, because 2024 is gearing up to be a record-breaking year for property growth.

Don't miss out on the chance to ride this wave of success with us! Stay tuned for more insider tips and tricks to stay ahead of the game.

Maximising Returns: Young Property Manager’s Innovative Approach to Cash Flow and Management | #237

Tue, 09 Jan 2024 22:00:00 +1000

We all love to hate property management.

We know it's not the sexiest topic on the block, but guess what? It's key to making your property journey a breeze.

For today’s episode, Goose is joined by Jonathan Bell from Housemark and he spilled the beans on how they turned property management from the lost cousin to the golden child of real estate. They've got a 100% referral rate, meaning folks are lining up to have Housemark manage their properties. Why? Because they're not just managing… they're out there hustling to get you a better result.

Now, if you think you can DIY property management, slow down.

Hiring a property manager isn't just a cost; it's an investment. It could add a cool $100 to your weekly return—enough for a fancy dinner every week or even more property investment adventures.

So, treat your property manager like the MVP that they are. Build a relationship, have a virtual coffee chat, maybe even a Zoom call at your property to get to know it better.

To wrap up 2023, Sean and Goose discuss the timeless trio of factors—jobs, lifestyle, and affordability— that still rule the migration game. Join us as we unravel how the influx of 450,000 migrants raised the stakes, creating a housing crisis and a dearth of building approvals.

Looking ahead to 2024, find out the red flag waving for agents who can’t find on-market properties. Spoiler alert: patience will be the name of the game in this challenging market.

So, if you're ready to waltz into property success in 2024, don’t miss this one.

How To Build A Larger Property Portfolio with Smarter Finance Strategies | #235

Tue, 19 Dec 2023 22:00:00 +1000

Hey there! We’re back with another exciting episode of the Dashdot Insider Podcast. Joining us today is the lending maestro, Onar Serrano from Lendary, where lending and finance are made simple.

Picture this: You're on the brink of building your property empire, chasing that sweet freedom, choice, and abundance. But here's the kicker—interest rates have been doing the cha-cha for the last 18 months. How's that affecting your mood and your borrowing mojo?

Onar spills the beans on the nitty-gritty of interest rates and how they're throwing some serious curveballs. It's not just about snagging the cheapest rate; it's about avoiding the financial quicksand that might leave you stuck with a property that's sinking like a stone.

In this episode, Goose and Onar also emphasise on the power of having a portfolio growth plan. Without a strategy, you might as well be blindfolded, throwing darts at a map.

Spoiler alert: that's not the best way to build your empire.

But the real gem here? The Australian property market is a resilient beast. It survived the rate hikes, danced through the challenges, and guess what? Prices are still on the upswing. So, if you've been sitting on your hands, waiting for the "perfect" moment—wake up! The time is now.

So, before you go on a property binge or swear off investing forever, grab a cuppa, kick back, and hit play on this podcast.

Tue, 28 Nov 2023 22:00:00 +1000

From being knee-deep in debt to becoming a property wizard — buckle up as we dive into the incredible business journey of our guest, Brayden Warhurst.

Brayden is the brains behind Raw Surfaces, a microcement and polished concrete business that's giving other competitors a run for their money.

We start by exploring why Brayden decided to start his own business, risking it all. It's a tale of wanting freedom, control, and a ticket out of the 9-to-5 grind. Debt? Yeah, most folks are scared of it, but not Brayden. He played the leverage game like a pro, snagging $180,000 at a 3% loan rate. Talk about a financial superhero move!

Moving on to the property investing game, he started with an old 1970s unit that needed more love than a rom-com. He learned the ropes, stumbled a bit, but now? Boom! A property that's not just a home, but a goldmine with a 72.19% return in nine months.

So, put on your listening ears, and tune into the podcast because we’re about to drop wisdom bombs that'll have you rethinking your property game. 🚀✨

Why Property Investors Are Australia's Only Hope! | #224

Tue, 03 Oct 2023 20:00:00 +1000

Meet Terry, a property wizard with over four decades of experience. He's saying 2023 is prime time for property because it's booming, regardless of what economists say.

When COVID hit, everyone thought property values would sink, but not Terry. He correctly predicted it would turn into a boom.

Now, there's a rental crisis. Some are saying property investors are the villains, but Terry says they’re Australia’s only hope. He adds that the idea of capping rents and scrapping negative gearing is NOT a good plan. He says it'll lead to a rental apocalypse. His advice?

1. Stop taxing investors like crazy.
2. Eliminate land taxes and stamp duties.
3. And cut some slack on capital gains tax while you're at it.

2023 is looking like a juicy steak on the grill. Building rates are low. Approval rates are even lower. Even interest rates are coming down. Apartments are in the spotlight, offering low-maintenance living and affordability.

So tune into this episode, because Terry and the gang have the latest inside scoop on the property frenzy. It's such a rollercoaster ride of insights and laughs, you'll walk away with a pocket full of property wisdom and a great mood to boot.

How Charley Valher built a phenomenal 10+ property portfolio | #223

Tue, 26 Sep 2023 22:00:00 +1000

Charley's journey began unexpectedly when he and his partner, Bianca, decided to start a family. Charley left his job, embracing a contrarian approach in the thick of COVID.

In just 2.5 years, Charley bought 10 properties using genuine savings from external sources. Through smart debt management, he achieved consistent cash flow and impressive profits. And as interest rates rose, Charley focused on renovations, maximizing profits through compounding.

Despite the challenges of refinancing every loan, Charley's portfolio thrived. He eventually sold and repurchased properties, capitalising on opportunities while others hesitated. Charley also structured his investments wisely, mixing personal and trust holdings to optimise tax benefits.

But Charley's 11th property? It’s unlike anything he’s bought before. It sits on a unique development site, adding excitement and diversification to his portfolio. More details on this location, plus Charley’s advice to aspiring investors, right inside this episode. It’s definitely one you won't want to miss! 🎢🏡🚀

About Our Guests

Cashflow.co, an online financial education and coaching business based on Victoria's surf coast, was founded in January 2019 by Ryan Monaghan and Terry Condon. Their mission? To revolutionize the way people handle money and make personal finance exciting.

Ryan is passionate about witnessing individuals achieve what they once thought impossible. His journey began with a bachelor's degree in accounting, followed by a master's degree in financial planning, accomplished by age 25. After spending five years in finance, he identified a significant gap between financial knowledge and action. This realization led him to partner with Terry to create Cashflow.co, bridging the divide and helping people make transformative life decisions.

Terry's primary goal is to infuse meaning into money. With his talent for simplifying complex concepts and reframing topics to instill belief and commitment, he draws on his experiences from two domains. His background as a performance coach in elite sports allowed him to witness how lofty dreams could translate into concrete plans and impactful habits. Subsequently, working in management consulting after earning his MBA equipped him with the skills to make knowledge valuable through tailored adult learning programs.

In 2019, Terry joined forces with co-founder Ryan Monaghan, combining their unique talents to create a groundbreaking financial education platform tailored for young professionals.

Ryan and Terry share a passion for personal finance, having experienced firsthand how mastering money management can enhance one's quality of life. They were motivated to address the frustrations stemming from a financial planning industry that often excluded their generation and rigid personal finance advice that prioritized saving over smart money utilization.

Their solution? Utilizing insights from positive psychology, behavioral science, and game design, they developed a unique methodology that has empowered hundreds of Australians nationwide to maximize their return on life through better financial decisions. Their chart-topping podcast, "The Passive Income Project," boasts a 4.7 rating from over 100 reviews and has garnered over 250,000 downloads.

How To Legally Reduce Your Tax, and Offset Negative Cashflow In Your Property Portfolio w/ Catherine Simons | #214

Tue, 25 Jul 2023 22:00:00 +1000

Taxes and property investments can be a maze, but fear not!

Things tend to go awry for many with tax variations and variable incomes. But our team steps in to ensure your tax rates are on track.

I chatted with Catherine Simons, an expert accountant at the WSC group.

We covered why property prices rise despite interest rates, inflation, and regional markets.

Tax variations are handy forms filed with the ATO at the year's start, ensuring a flat tax rate throughout. It avoids big payouts and keeps cash flowing.

For property investors, tax variations offer benefits like improved cash flow and faster debt repayment.

Even with rising interest rates, you can claim a significant portion of property costs in tax deductions.

Just remember…

… do good record-keeping and avoid mixing personal expenses.

Catherine shared fantastic advice.

So check out the podcast for more insights.

Trust me, it's worth a listen!

Matt has experience in residential lending, and has also helped many of his clients build their own home. He also helps his clients with their business, commercial and personal lending needs. Matt has been nominated for and won a heap of awards in the past, but ask him and he’ll say the most rewarding thing about being a broker is when someone says thank you after he’s helped them.

Finding the "Efficient Frontier" for Your Property Portfolio

Tue, 08 Mar 2022 20:00:00 +1000

The goal of every property investor should be to create a portfolio with the optimal combination of risk and reward, BUT most of them never get past two properties – and it’s very hard to build a balanced portfolio with two assets.

So, how do you maintain a good mix in your portfolio while keeping your risks, returns, and capital allocation in check?

Today, we talk about a concept called the “efficient frontier” - a powerful tool property investors use to establish the most efficient rate of return and capital allocation.

To dig more into this, we’ve got Charley Valher of Valher Media joining in as we tackle the efficient frontier curve, the Modern Portfolio theory, expensive versus cheap property, buying stigmatized units, and identifying gentrifying areas.

7 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Buy an Investment Property Right Now

Tue, 07 Sep 2021 21:00:00 +1000

The property investing journey will always vary for each person.

Some know what they want, when they want, right from the get-go, while others stay behind the fence, waiting for… something.

What makes people so hesitant to get into the market? Is it the timing? The location? The pandemic?

Today’s episode is a webinar with Bushy Martin, founder of leading property finance and advisory firm KnowHow Property. We discuss the different problems people are facing that prevent them from getting into the market. From affordability, finding value in a property, getting out of your comfort zone, to the D.I.Y. dilemma, we cover a lot.

We present a lot of visuals and illustrations on our video podcast, but if you’re just listening to the audio version, you’re sure to get value out of this episode too. We still highly recommend going to Youtube to watch the full episode for the best experience though!

See you on the inside!

Don’t let your past knowledge stand in the way of your future [01:09:42]
The ‘magic’ happens outside your comfort zone [01:10:56]

“I’d rather do it myself than pay Buyers Agents $15k+ [01:12:40]

Can you really D.I.Y. it? [01:13:19]
D.I.Y. Investors tend to get stuck [01:20:30]

“Covid will trigger a recession… I’ll just wait until after it’s over” [01:22:39]

How to Know When to Buy Your Next Investment Property

Tue, 24 Aug 2021 21:00:00 +1000

Have you ever heard the story of the tortoise and the hare?

If not, it’s a story about how a tortoise, slow as it is, still won a race against a hare who, being overconfident, lost a seemingly easy victory. The moral of the tale is that knowing where you stand and planning accordingly is just as - if not more - important as speed.

Similarly in property, a lot of investors struggle with cadence and finding the right strategy to maximise their portfolio performance and growth. Most merely have short-term solutions, leaving sustainability out of the picture.

Today, we tackle how to know when to go again, which is more important between cadence and speed of acquisition, how to build the right habits and implement the right tools, tricks, and tips, to make sure you stay on track to maximise your portfolio performance, and how to get to your destination as fast as possible, as happy as possible, in the best possible way.

We also explain why emotional fortitude & resilience matter when buying property…
How to have a more efficient distribution of capital…
How much cash you should start with sans equity from other properties…
And so much more!

We hope you find this episode valuable, and if you do, please let us know by sending us an e-mail at hello@dashdot.com.au! We’d love to know your thoughts!

Also, please don’t forget to subscribe, tune in, and share this podcast.

In this episode, we cover:

Why this is an important discussion and who it’s for [06:31]
Speed versus consistency [09:26]

Digging into the pros and cons [11:53]
Speed depends on your circumstances [19:27]
Emotional fortitude & resilience are important when buying property [20:43]
Know where you stand for a more efficient distribution of capital [23:43]
What should your property purchase cadence be like? [26:48]
The distribution of assets by type [34:16]

How much cash should you start with, without equity from other properties? [39:07]
What can you do to organise your property portfolio better? [40:27]

Why Don't We Buy All the Properties?

Tue, 27 Jul 2021 21:00:00 +1000

Helping people create a life of freedom, choice and abundance has always been our passion.

That’s why when people come to us for help, we do our best to find the best property for each one.

Naturally, however, something that sounds ‘too good to be true’ (even though it is) is typically met with disbelief, and we tend to get asked this question a lot:

“If you say you come across so many amazing deals, why don’t you just buy them for yourselves?”

And the answer is actually quite simple.

In this episode, we answer this recurring question and share our insights on why property investing is not a zero-sum game. We unpack why we don’t buy “all the great properties” and dive into the factor of scarcity versus abundance, while tackling other common questions people ask.

We also cover the problem with having a scarcity mindset…

Why capital and debt are both required to buy plenty of properties…

The importance of operating your business with integrity…

And lots more!

We hope this episode proves valuable to you and if it does, do let us know and send us an email at hello@dashdot.com.au! We’d love to hear from you!

Also, if you like this episode, please don’t forget to subscribe, tune in, and share this podcast. See you on the inside!

In this episode, we cover:

A background on why we need to address this question [03:45]
Abundance versus scarcity [08:43]
The macro view (where property is both a finite, but replenishing, resource) [12:11]
The problem with having a “scarcity mindset” [17:39]

The case of looking for something better vs. settling on what’s right for you [19:57]
Capital and debt are required to buy plenty of properties [24:26]

Some people just don’t want to believe the good in others [25:38]
Understanding what drives your goals [29:36]
Putting others first doesn’t mean you should put yourself last [35:15]
Money is the single tradable commodity you can get more of [37:07]
Having integrity in operating your business is incredibly important [38:17]

At the end of the day, all you have is your reputation [41:28]

Why You Shouldn't Be Afraid of CGT

Tue, 20 Jul 2021 21:00:00 +1000

Why is it that most people avoid Capital Gains Tax (CGT) like the plague?

Well, it’s really all because of perspective.

Capital Gains Tax is a concept people tend to have a lot of fear around because they want to avoid tax altogether when in fact, it’s actually just a concept of business. If you sell a property you have to pay tax.

Today, we dive deep into the topic of CGT from an angle that most people wouldn’t take, that is, the belief that it shouldn’t scare you to think about at all! We share how you can think about it strategically and how the benefits of your strategy actually outweigh the cons.

We also tackle where CGT is and isn’t applicable…
What Capital Gains Tax really is…
The benefits of holding property for 5 years versus selling it right away…
And heaps more!

See you on the inside!

In this episode, we cover:

Why is this discussion on CGT important? [03:14]

The belief most people have about selling property and CGT [4:04]

What is Capital Gains Tax? [07:44]
When and where is CGT applicable (and not applicable)? [11:32]

About the 50% Capital Gains discount... [13:00]

Weigh the pros and cons of your strategy to minimise fear of CGT [19:13]
A look at the benefits of holding property for 5 years versus selling (and getting CGT) [19:44]
This is what investing is really all about [31:45]
Applying a time horizon and adding other factors changes the strategy [34:40]
Take control of your strategies to get more of what you want [35:45]
How much would you pay to never work a day in your life? [38:14]

How to Think About Asset Allocation

Tue, 08 Jun 2021 21:00:00 +1000

Asset allocation is a topic that is under-discussed in property, especially in terms of portfolio-building.

You see, while it’s a common term in traditional asset classes, it’s also an important concept to consider when talking about real estate…

And basically, if you’ve ever created a plan or strategy to build your portfolio, you’ve already thought about how and where to allocate available assets.

Today, we talk about asset allocation and take an interesting angle on thinking about capital allocation ratios and building your portfolio through a principles-based perspective.

We also talk about why deal flow is not the problem…
How the time horizon affects your property strategy…
Why you should always go back to a “first principles” way of thinking…
And so much more!

See you on the inside!

What do we mean by asset allocation? [06:12]

Deal flow is not the problem! [09:20]
Why 93% of investors never get past two properties, 74% past one [12:03]
How to decide asset allocation in terms of your portfolio [13:37]

Capital-to-debt ratio [15:34]

Resources & tying in The Holy Trinity [21:42]
Availability of assets in the marketplace [25:23]

How the time horizon affects your property strategy [33:39]

The Hidden Numbers That Every Property Investor Should Know

Tue, 27 Apr 2021 21:00:00 +1000

Every so often, financial jargon gets thrown around and while they’re all actually used in the real estate space, they’re not always used in the right context.

When you talk about Return on Investment or ROI, do you actually mean Return on Capital? And what is that about, really?

Or perhaps you consider principal payments a burden when in fact, it’s actually PROFIT for your property?

If this sounds like you (or someone you know), this episode is exactly what you need to dive into. Today, we cover terms like Return on Capital, Internal Rate of Return, Debt Service Coverage Ratio or DSCR, what metrics to look out for, and get to the bottom of what they are and what they should mean to you as an investor.

We also talk about the 2 metrics you should focus on to know if you should invest or not…
The key to a healthy, growing business…
Cash-on-Cash Return or ROI…
And lots more.

See you on the inside!

In this episode, we cover:

How about ROI vs Internal Rate of Return? [16:44]

Optimising for Wealth

Wed, 14 Oct 2020 21:00:00 +1000

Let me ask you… what are you optimising for?

Have you ever felt like you’re stuck on a hamster wheel, and no matter how hard you run, you never seem to get to where you want to go?

Or perhaps you’ve gotten lost, and forgotten why you started on the journey in the first place?

Most of the time, owners and investors get stuck in survival mode…

We’ll talk about why you should always think of wealth optimisation in every business stage…
How you can still get back on track to wealth optimisation…

Does having the freedom to do what you want, when you want, with who you want, seem impossible given your current situation?

Or are you scared to take that first step because you have no idea how to start?

Most of us think it’s already too late to start saving towards economic freedom...

We resign ourselves to the hamster wheel until we become too old to enjoy anything in life...

Have you ever seen a suburb or area transition from “dump” to “desirable”?

So when you start investing in these places, people can’t help wondering why.

And all you need to do is to see beyond what other people can see.

We’ll talk about what the ‘Ugly Duckling Syndrome’ is...
Why it’s important to be able to foresee an area’s potential...
And so much more!

Unlock the skill of foresight and watch your opportunities grow by tuning in to this episode!

See you on the inside!

In this episode, we cover:

What is the Ugly Duckling Syndrome and why is it important? [09:48]

The Ugly Duckling Syndrome can come from family, friends, and residents of the area [17:06]

Transport Infrastructure | Hunting Hotspots #1

Mon, 20 Jul 2020 21:00:00 +1000

Do you truly believe that the only good properties are those near train stations?

Even If you've never invested in property before, I'm sure you've heard property pundits make that remark when talking about good capital growth.

And how that will change the dynamics of a certain location.

Today marks the second part of our ‘Hunting Hotspots’ miniseries.

We’ll talk about how the transport infrastructure drives market growth…

The three phases of growth in relation to transport infrastructure…

How to mitigate risks and downsides in property investment...

And so much more!

See you on the inside!

In this episode, we cover:

What is transport infrastructure and what fallacy is revolving around it? [07:10]
Transport infrastructure issues in big cities [8:23]
Why traffic infrastructure is one of the biggest drivers of growth [09:18]
Connectivity plays a huge role in an area’s growth [10:12]

Understanding the growth phases and knowing when to invest [15:08]

How To React and Respond To A Changing World

Tue, 24 Mar 2020 12:15:00 +1000

The current SARS-CoV-2 global pandemic is a world-altering issue. Aside from the obvious morbidity and mortality, the fear pandemic seems out of proportion to the infectious pandemic. Consequently, there has already been a severe impact on the share market, shop fronts, consumer expenditure as well as the social ramifications resulting from isolation. Now more than ever people need a critical analysis of the financial effects of the global crisis, and they need a sense of community in this time of forced solitude. This episode will satisfy both of these requirements. How? Through a webinar inviting discussions about the current state of affairs and the impact it has on property portfolios, and by creating a digital connection between people.

Goose and Gabi field questions from concerned current and prospective investors on the coronavirus crisis and seek to divert thought to building towards a future we want to live in because the world isn’t ending. It is not the apocalypse. We will get through this. What we are experiencing now has happened before and it is temporary.

Join The Investor Lab as they first address self-care before opening up the floor to you, the listeners, for a Q&A. They provide an assessment of the current market as it stands, and where they see it heading, and the things that we can do to support each other and the community during this time.

Key Points:

The role of social media in the fear pandemic
Looking beyond health to the global financial impact of Coronavirus
Taking care of your physical and mental health first and foremost
Looking at the situation as a positive call to action
Taking stock of what is really important in your life right now
How COVID-19 is like pressing a big reset button
Dealing with tenants being unable to meet rental payments for some time
Building strong relationships and extending care and consideration in a time of need
The reality that we probably are already in a recession, and does that matter?
Maslow’s hierarchy - a theory of human motivation. Levelling up in this global crisis
It’s not possible to pick the bottom of the market in real estate

Renovation Revelations with BuildHer's Rebeka Morgan

Tue, 17 Mar 2020 12:55:00 +1000

Here at The Investor Lab, we are always spruiking property, both residential and commercial, as investment opportunities. But what about looking at the business of building itself? Who better to chat to than a successful builder come entrepreneur who has built high-end homes and a high-yield business. Further to this, she has consciously decided to cap yearly profits in order to maximise her enjoyment from her builds and thus her life which is perfectly aligned with our outlook on wealth-building here at The Investor Lab.

Rebeka Morgan is the co-founder of BuildHer Collective - an organisation focussed on building women builders to empower them to renovate their forever home, renovate for profit, and build from scratch. They also offer courses and mentorship, take building a step further with their Inner Circle where they train people up on developing for profit, and deliver informative, entertaining parcels of building know-how via their weekly podcast, Building with BuildHer.

Rebeka’s building passion started from a very early age but became a profession in her early 20’s where she turned a residential house into a high-yield rental return rooming house in Berwick. Her success has continued throughout her career including most recently where her last 6 BuildHer projects have broken suburb sale records.

Join Rebeka and Goose as they chat about equity versus cashflow, strategically capitalising in lucrative areas, avoiding the banks for finance, and the female experience in the male-dominated building industry.

Key Points:

Picking your building depending on how long your cash will be tied up for
Prioritising equity capture vs cashflow strategies
The dependence of capital on the suburb your project lies in
Equity funding vs standard property finance via the banks
The different development lending options available
Defining your unique value proposition and creating a “one-off” property that sells high
What inspired Rebeka to start BuildHer Collective
Why BuildHer Collective helps women only
The disparity between males and females in the real estate industry generally
Why women are suited to project management
The benefits of a Mastermind group
There’s no one “right” strategy: it’s about understanding where you are and setting realistic goals
Identifying your weaknesses and back-fill with sourced talent

March Market Madness

Tue, 10 Mar 2020 07:00:00 +1000

March madness is well and truly upon us: stock shortages, Coronavirus, rates cuts, and property price surge. This creates turbulence in the investment market resulting in both misfortune and opportunity for wealth. Separate to the direct effect these events have on the market is the psychological impact - the emotional human reaction - which often far surpasses the expected logical outcome. Predicting this response and acting on those predictions for the purposes of creating wealth in the midst of hysteria is very difficult to the point that it creates volatile decision making - not unlike #toiletpapercrisis.

The Investor Lab duo Goose and Gabi have raided aisle 5 and are flush with metaphorical toilet paper to wipe away the unwanted filth in today’s investor’s market leaving you with a clean path to wealth.

Key Points:

First home buyer scheme impact
Massive stock shortages in Australian broadacre farming
The effect that the coronavirus is having on the marketplace worldwide
How the RBA cash rate decrease has affected the economy
Just as markets change, so should tactics and strategies
The importance, now more than ever, of being an informed investor
Building your growth and your wealth according to the “seasons”
Making your move when everyone else is fearful
The type of property that makes for a good purchase in times like this

Breaking BHAGs

Tue, 03 Mar 2020 12:13:00 +1000

Everyone needs a Big, Hairy, Audacious Goal (or BHAG) - a term coined by Jim Collins and Jerry Porras in their classic business book, ‘Built to Last’. These are not your ordinary business goals - these are meant to seem unattainable. They are meant to scare you and push your limits. The journey may seem fraught with peril but the destination occupies a high-ranking spot on your bucket list. But we’ve heard this before: “Set a goal and achieve it!”. How is this vulgar-sounding acronym any different? BHAGs address life goals, not tick off your fridge to-do lists. The time-scale is a decade, not a week or a year. Tangible, material motivation is often incorrectly set as the goal as opposed to innovative, compelling, and exciting life changes.

After debating whether “balmy” means hot or cold and admitting to stocking inferior quality “guest coffee”, Goose and Gabi team up to discuss BHAGs and the rules when it comes to setting them, goal setting in relationships, discipline and even share their 25-year BHAGs. Invest in your goals before investing in your wealth.

Key Points:

Tactics, strategy and vision - and not in that order
Setting goals and the power of writing them down
Introducing Big, Hairy, Audacious Goals (or BHAGs) courtesy of Jim Collins
BHAGs are meant to be out of reach though still physically possible
Answering the question: “What does your life look like in 10/20/30 years?”
Getting excited about your goals and leveraging success from the excitement
Remember: “What would you do if you didn’t have to work for money?” is an entirely different question from “What would you do if you had 1 million dollars?”
Exploring goals in the context of relationships
BHAGs are achieved in timescales measured in decades, not weeks or years
Critical analyses and course-corrections are paramount: reassess daily/weekly
Goose and Gabi’s 25-year plan
Do not google “What’s a good BHAG?” - your goal is your own.
Get uncomfortable now to achieve what you want later

Residential Vs Commercial: The Pros and Cons

Tue, 25 Feb 2020 10:40:00 +1000

The braver investors among us have fantasised about diversifying their portfolio to include not only residential investment cashflow but also commercial. However, making the step into the commercial investment property market can be a formidable one and one that must be well informed. For the average investor, this may not be possible due to the high deposits and commercial loan interest rates involved, as well as the knowledge gap between residential and commercial investing. Nonetheless, there exist tremendous opportunities to increase your investment portfolio cashflow if the informed investor expands into the commercial arena.

Goose discuses the pros and cons of commercial investing, compared with residential, to get you started in this potentially lucrative investment avenue.

Key Points:

Commercial investing outperforms residential for rental yield and offers longer leases
Issues with commercial investing include
- Uncertainty finding a good commercial property
- Higher required deposit
- Lending terms usually include a higher interest rate (reflecting higher risk)
- Longer wait time to secure a commercial loan
- Vacancy rates can be much longer than residential (industry and location dependent)
Residential: investing in people
Commercial: investing in the longevity of a business
Impact of online shopping on the long-term viability of a commercial asset
Tenants have a vested interest in maintaining the commercial property
Residential investing is about equity, commercial is about cashflow

From Black Market To Business Consultant

Tue, 18 Feb 2020 11:26:00 +1000

Transformation and change can often be born out of adversity as many listeners, I’m sure, can attest to as well as our own Investor Lab host Goose. Learning life lessons in unexpected places can afford you great benefit .if the life lessons are in fact learnt

Our guest today is Andrew Sparks, Goose’s co-business mastermind and the street-smart entrepreneur behind FitGro with an unlikely beginning. To summarise, Andrew dropped out of school at age 15 and pursued plumbing establishing his own business at age 20. After the obligatory first overseas trip was unexpectedly extended from 12 months to 10 years, Andrew found himself a successful drug dealer in Canada before the wisdom of Tony Robbins led to the realisation that he was not living his purpose. Then came an intense period of self-discovery, investment and education culminating in the foundation of the internationally successful fitness-sector business coaching company, FitGro.

Listen as Goose and Andrew discuss improbable beginnings, adaptability, and Andrew’s unique outlook on business and investing.

Key Points:

Tony Robbins and the 6 human needs
Avoid defining labels: “I’m an addict” disempowers the individual stifling change
Invest in yourself: Andrew has spent over half a million dollars on personal development
Never under-estimate the ability to be adaptable
Benefiting from meditation
Enlist a mentor and learn from their mistakes just as much as their wisdom
Beginners: know what you want and recruit help to achieve it

Resilience: The Key To Success (Plus live Q and A)

Tue, 11 Feb 2020 12:07:00 +1000

What is the single biggest determinant of success in any field? Resilience! This is the ability to adapt to adversity, accepting a delay to gratification to achieve your desired outcome, approaching challenges as opportunities. Goose and Gabi get philosophical in this episode and draw on the stoic teachings of Socrates to interpret emotional resilience in the context of real estate investing. They delve into a large-scale study undertaken in India where despite impoverishment, happiness levels are ostensibly high.

The live Q&A explores both the personal lives and stories of the minds at the investor lab as well as specific investment advice to investors just like you. Learn how to perfect resilience and experience the flow-on effects in your life, both inside and outside of real estate.

Key Points:

First, second and third-order consequences: short-term pain for long-term gain
Life, as a general rule, is out of your control
The Happy India Study - 3 principles to happiness regardless of poverty or riches:
- Gratitude: pay attention to what you have, not what you lack
- Empathy: feel what another person is feeling
- Mindfulness: be present in the now and focus on the moment
Socrates and emotional resilience:
Blessings in disguise
Excessive grieving over misfortune adds to your problem
Accepting your place in the world and broaden your perspective
Grief stands in the way of reason
Things beyond our control are neither good nor bad, they just are
Morning affirmations, daily planners and nightly journals

Trust: How To Know Who To Believe

Tue, 04 Feb 2020 11:59:00 +1000

Who among us can truthfully say they haven’t been sold a lemon? Whether it is a car, a skincare range from that talkative exotic mall worker, or an inflated bid for your first property. We are all of us fallible and this is known to those less-than-reputable folk who seek to exploit it to their own benefit. In the world of real estate, they can take many forms and distinguishing those that are trustworthy from those that aren’t can be very difficult (from novice to expert). This scepticism breeds inactivity for fear of making a mistake or being taken for a ride.

But don’t fret, The Investor Lab is here to add weapons to your arsenal to detect false prophets and cull your business circle to those who hold your best interests at heart. Learn from the mistakes of others, trust your instincts, invest in yourself via education, surround yourself with trusted advisors, and don’t lose faith in humanity. Leverage the experience of others to safely navigate the minefield that is real estate information repositories and strengthen your portfolio and investing strategy today.

Key Points:

Lack of integrity and how it is triggering
Beware of spruikers: unwitting clients are their targets
The origin of Dashdot Buyer’s Agency
Deciphering truth from fact
Trust your instincts and be aware of hidden agendas
Failure is temporary and hindsight is 20:20
Abundance defeats scarcity
Never lose faith in the human condition: innocent until proven guilty

Unlocking The Hidden Riches In Real Estate (...And Making Tax Fun!) with Mike Mortlock

Tue, 28 Jan 2020 13:45:00 +1000

The legislation of tax depreciation is our topic for today. Does that make you want to switch this podcast off immediately? We wouldn’t blame you, but this is definitely a conversation you’ll want to stick around for. It’s no secret that not a lot of people get super excited about tax and depreciation, but if you take the time to get to know the facts, the benefits can be absolutely huge. There are a lot of misconceptions around what you can and can’t depreciate as a property investor, and on a recent live session within the Dashdot Facebook Group, Goose chats to Mike Mortlock to uncover just how fun tax can really be. It’s all well and good to get cashflow, and growth but what we’re here to talk about today is how to get even more out of everything that you’ve got.

Mike Mortlock is the director and co-founder of MCG Quantity Surveyors. Mike describes himself as a “construction cost estimating accountant hybrid”, which is quite the mouthful of a title. More traditionally we can say that Mike is an industry leader in tax depreciation. He has worked as an expert depreciation consultant with a number of major firms such as McDonalds, CMC Markets, Deloitte, PwC and more. He has completed thousands of depreciation schedules for commercial and residential property and is in demand as a public speaker and property commentator having been featured in Australian Property Investor, Smart Property Investor, Property Observer, Sky Business and other print and radio publications. As a specialist in tax depreciation, Mike has a wealth of knowledge and a passion for maximising depreciation entitlements.

Questions that we cover:

What is depreciation
What is a depreciation schedule?
Is depreciation only worthwhile in new rather than older properties?
Is it true that you can’t depreciate a house built before 1985?
How does it work for renovations?
What about renovations I didn’t do?
What can I claim depreciation on?
What is the difference between Prime Cost and Diminishing Value methods of Depreciation? And what does that mean?
What is the difference between plant and equipment and the building write off allowance?
How does having a TDS affect CGT?
How does this help me at tax time?
How much extra money can I get?

First Home Owner Grants and Starting Your Portfolio

Tue, 21 Jan 2020 19:59:00 +1000

For virgin property investors, the first step is often the hardest. The sheer volume of unsorted information at your fingertips and the conflicting advice it often harbours stuns the novice investor like a deer in headlights. Never-buy-new versus First Home Owner Grant; people end up immobilised with fear and confusion with a growing list of unanswered questions. Is this the right next step for me? What are my options? What are the alternatives? Should I invest or use the First Home Owner Grant? And what even is the First Home Owner Grant?

Goose and Gabi return to shepherd their flock of investors safely to the greener pastures of property funding enlightenment, breaking it down into two pathways: investing without the First Home Owner Grant, or using the grant to build your investment strategy. Their compass? Budget.

Four Stages Of Investing (In Anything)

Tue, 14 Jan 2020 20:30:00 +1000

When we talk about investing, we’re not just talking about real estate, shares, or business, we are talking about investing in life. Finance, spirituality, social life, family, health, education… there is a world outside of real estate waiting to be conquered. Like any goal, it is best approached with a system. Enter the four stages of investing in anything: dream, team, acquire, empire. Analyse your ambition with your investing custodians Goose and Gabi.

Topics we cover:

Avoid complacency by treating the new year as one of many times to reflect
The fastest path to an outcome is often the most destructive - think holistically
You are the average of the 5 closest people you surround yourself with - choose wisely
Find people passionate about things you aren’t
Look for your custodian to watch over your journey
Take bold and decisive action - watch out for paralysis by analysis
Show up - do the work
Track your progress - the role of daily journaling with goal-led entries
Stand on the shoulders of your accomplishments to reach further

The Universal Laws That Govern Success and Fulfilment (feat. Ben Slater)

Tue, 07 Jan 2020 21:00:00 +1000

Joining us on today’s episode is a close friend and mentor Ben Slater. At age 16, he witnessed his father - an entrepreneur - lose everything despite being an initially successful businessman. This destabilising event led to drug use and psychotic episodes. Ben then pursued mentorship highlighting the big questions no one had ever asked him and leading to paradigm shifts in his thinking. He successfully pursued an entrepreneurial pathway, despite his father’s experiences, with a mindset informed by his studies in business and life philosophy. Geographical freedom through the internet, success despite adversity, courageous decision-making, and staying true to your purpose are today’s talking points discussed in the context of Ben’s rich life and business experiences and his published literature.

Topics we cover:

Ben’s origin story
Being happy today, but striving for more tomorrow
How do you invest your time/energy/money and why?
What is flow state and how is it achieved?
The octave of life and how it all leads back to intimacy
The seed of life

Eight Steps To Start, Boost, or Bolster ANY Property Portfolio

Tue, 31 Dec 2019 21:00:00 +1000

When you first decide you want to buy a property, what’s your process? Do you even have one or do you just start looking through realestate.com.au for something that’s within your budget? This is a very common pitfall that we’re here to discuss today on The Investor Lab. We’ve found that the vast majority of people start their property investment journey by looking at property, and although this may seem like a logical first step, we’re here to discuss why you need to delve deeper.

In order to achieve a positive outcome in your investment journey, you have got to establish a process. It’s important to operate in a way that is in alignment with what you want to achieve. Luckily for you, we’re taking the guesswork out of what your process should look like and sharing ours with you. This is the exact process we follow with our clients and we know it works and we’ve broken it down into eight key steps.

THE EIGHT STEPS WE COVER:

Know your position and kill your ego
A deep dive into your appetite for risk and your goals
Research: Macro
Research: Micro
Research: Property
Coming to a fair deal
Acquire and Settle
Now that you have a process, you can go again and repeat your success

Why Most Investors Never Achieve Success in Real Estate

Tue, 17 Dec 2019 21:00:00 +1000

So, you’ve decided you’re investing in property. The news says it’s a good time to buy. Your Uncle Tony at the family barbecue says you should have bought 20 years ago. What if you’ve already bought - do you sell? There are websites, podcasts, books dedicated to this stuff and all the researching is driving you bonkers. But you’re paralysed by indecision. What if you make the wrong decision? What if it’s the right move but the people around you don’t agree? Why exactly are you doing this again?

If you’re asking yourself any of these questions, listen up. Today we’re talking you through the seven most common reasons investors are not achieving real estate success. Property is a massive investment and it’s hard. Analysis-paralysis, waiting for that “right time”, information-overload, fear of the unknown… It’s overwhelming. Here we will guide you through the actions to take to make sure you do succeed and get the results you want.

People can climb mountains but they don’t do it alone. The Investor Lab is here to help you play the long game, conquer the challenge, embrace the fear, and make your money work for you. In Goose’s words, let’s make money your little bitch.

The Wealth Mindset

Tue, 03 Dec 2019 12:18:00 +1000

Welcome to the very first episode of The Investor Lab brought to you by Gabi and Goose at Dashdot. We’re a buyer’s agency helping people invest in real estate and find wealth in property. Our core values centre around honesty, transparency, and integrity – and we are committed to ensuring your best interests are put first. But here’s the thing, this podcast is about more than real estate investing. This is the auditory epicentre for passionate people looking to create a life of freedom, choice and abundance.

Today we’re talking all things Wealth Mindset: how to shift from an anxious and scarcity-based existence into a state of abundance and opportunity. There is so much talk these days about “manifestation” and this idea of simply thinking of what you most desire, and it will appear. We’re calling you out on this and bringing you back down to earth. It’s all well and good to have big dreams, but what are you doing to achieve them? You can’t just think about it and eventually it will drop in your lap. You need to set realistic goals, put in consistent action and have the right mindset to really achieve anything. It’s no different to thinking you can run a marathon without any training. That’s crazy talk.

We’re so excited to share our knowledge and resources with you and to give you the insights you need to start your own property journey.
