• Real Estate Riches: How to Build and Sustain Wealth Through Property with Aaron Christie-David

  In today’s show Aaron Christie-David interviews me and asked how I’ve built the substantial property bought for the White investors should be doing in the current market to secure their financial future through property. I discuss the need for a comprehensive approach to wealth creation that goes beyond property alone, advocating for a balanced life and the importance of having a clear vision and goals. The conversation also touches on why many of the predictions made for the property markets for 2025 will be wrong. Takeaways Predictions about the market are often wrong; focus on fundamentals. Most property investors get it wrong; 50% sell up in five years and 92% never get past the first or second property. Your biggest asset is your time and your earning capacity, don’t squander it. It’s likely that many investors will put their plans on hold before the upcoming election, but experience shows us that life goes on after elections; so if you have the finance capacity don't wait to invest. Your strategic property plan should include risk management and things you shouldn’t do just as much as it outlines things you should do. Investing is a long-term game; focus on capital growth more than cash flow. Surround yourself with good advisors and mentors. Confidence in the market drives investment decisions. True wealth encompasses more than just property.

• 40 property investment lessons I learned in the last 4 decades

  Hindsight is a wonderful thing, isn’t it? Let me ask you a question… with the benefit of hindsight and knowing what you know now, if you had the opportunity to do so, would you have bought an investment property 40 years ago? I bet your answer would be yes, realising that the median property price in Sydney was $68,500 back then and that you could have bought a median-priced property in Melbourne for just $40,000. So today I share 40 valuable lessons learned from over five decades of property investment. Takeaways Hindsight's a wonderful thing, isn't it? Successful investors have a long-term strategy. Don't do what most property investors do. The biggest risk is not doing anything. Location will do 80% of the heavy lifting. Don't rely on the media for your investment strategies. A change in your thinking will lead to a change in your life. You improve at what you practice intentionally. Time spent worrying is time that you could spend identifying opportunities. Never give up, you need resilience. Chapters 04:14 Key Lessons from 40 Years of Investing 04:41 Understanding Market Cycles and Trends 06:57 The Importance of Long-Term Strategies 11:05 The Role of Debt and Financial Management 14:17 Surrounding Yourself with the Right Team 16:33 The Importance of Quality Advice 19:45 Understanding Property Data and Market Dynamics 22:57 Mindset and Emotional Management in Investing 26:34 Learning from Mistakes and Resilience 28:29 The Masterclass of Daily Practice 31:13 Choosing What to Practice for a Better Life 31:33 Introduction to the Podcast and Demographics Decoded Links and Resources:    Michael Yardney    Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us    Join us at Wealth Retreat - Australia’s Premier Wealth Retreat for Elite Investors and Business People www.WealthRetreat.com.au     Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at www.PodcastBonus.com.au     Also, please subscribe to my new podcast Demographics Decoded with Simon Kuestenmacher – just look for Demographics Decoded wherever you are listening to this podcast and subscribe so each week we can unveil the trends shaping your future.    Shownotes plus more here: 40 property investment lessons I learned in the last 4 decades

• 5 ways I’m going to ensure my property investments outperform this property cycle

  In today’s show I’d like to remind you of some of the foundational principles I use to grow my wealth. I’ll discuss things that "always worked" rather than things that are working now. Now to be clear… this is very different from most of what you hear in the news, which basically focuses on short-term investment trends. You know... those headlines that we’ve been seeing so much of recently - the top 10 areas to invest in 2025, the top 5 lessons from 2024, what’s ahead for interest rates or where’s the next hotspot. I also discuss the difference between expectations and forecasts and provide insights into the current market dynamics and future outlook for property investment to give you some clarity in the chaos of the many mixed messages in the media. Takeaways Focus on long-term investment strategies rather than short-term trends. Recognize the behaviour gap between intentions and actions. Successful investing requires patience and discipline. Building a strong team of independent advisors is crucial for property investment success. Expectations should guide your investment strategy; they are more useful than forecasts. The property market is cyclical; prepare for downturns and upturns. Investment-grade properties are key to long-term wealth creation. Current market conditions present unique opportunities for savvy investors with a long term focus. Understanding market dynamics can help mitigate risks. Strategic planning is essential for achieving financial goals in property investment.
