[PODCAST] Ask the Experts: Ken Raiss, Brett Warren and I Answer Your Burning Questions

In this show Ken Raiss, Brett Warren and I and a heap of questions left by viewers of a recent Masterclass that should be of interest to anyone interested in property investment.

We explore the pros and cons of investing in outer suburbs, what’s ahead for the Melbourne property market, the significance of understanding property value versus price, the different loan structures available for investors, the importance of economic fundamentals, and strategies for intergenerational wealth transfer.

The conversation also touches on the viability of living off equity and the comparison between commercial and residential properties.

Takeaways

• Investing in outer suburbs can be risky especially at this stage of the cycle where property vans have been pushed up by inexperienced investors.
• Economic fundamentals drive property value growth.
• Setting up the right ownership property structure is essential for flexible intergenerational wealth transfer.
• Starting with a clear end goal is one key to successful investing.
• Interest-only loans can help in property accumulation phases, while we’re paying debt makes sense as you near a retirement age.
• Living off equity is challenging but still possible with the right strategy.
• Commercial properties often provide better yields than residential property, but for most investors residential property provides better returns because of the extra leverage.
• Flexibility in investment ownership structures can enhance financial outcomes.
• The property market is cyclical; patience is necessary for long-term gains.
