While it’s important to understand what properties make good investments, it’s equally important to understand which properties you should not buy.

I’m also going to share a number of Wealth Accelerators the rich use to become richer in my mindset moment.

These are things that you may not have thought of, but are important for property investing, life and success.

And  as I answer a listener’s question “Is possible to buy 10 properties in 10 years?” I’ll share my thoughts on property accumulation.

Know Which Properties to Avoid:

  1. Properties you shouldn’t buy are properties that banks don’t like and on which they’ll lend a loan-to-value ratio.
  2. If the banks are wary of a property see it as a warning sign.
  3. Services Apartments leave you dependent on one particular operator and they have a limited resale market.
  4. Department of Defense Housing has a long lease and no ongoing maintenance, but they have expensive property management and other fees. And they’re not located in investment grade locations. apartment
  5. Small units, studio apartments and student accommodations - an apartment needs a flexible floor plan with at least 40 square meters and preferably 50 sq meters.

  8. Properties with no or limited parking

I always enjoy listening to what you have to say, Michael. I would have appreciated this information 20 or so, years ago. Being 58, a little too late to start building a portfolio, but still enjoying your informative talks, cheers, Michael.
