My website, blog & facebook page cover Investing in Residential Real Estate in Australia.
I am a retired Automotive Engineer and I would like to share my views and experiences after going through the trials, errors and successes of investing in Australian Real Estate. I spent countless hours on the internet and have now passed on my little bit of wisdom to my children. Commercial real estate is generally more risky than residential real estate and I have learned my lessons in a failed multi million dollar syndicated property development within my SMSF. I did recover my money after many years, thanks to FOS, but the opportunity costs where high. I have gone to many free seminars and found the information valuable, but struggled with the hype and seductive sales pitch at the end. If you go , expect to get a "one day only offer" at $6k+ for a guru training course with freebies "valued" in excess of $6k. Greed is likely to play our emotions and its best to chill and make sure that your course is a good fit for me or you.

LATEST TRENDS as of 1 March 2019 !
After the GFC and up to 2018 Australia has enjoyed phenomenal price growth for a non productive asset class, that would depreciate if it was not for land price growth. We have high demand due to a migration driven population growth. But recent quarterly trends show an overdue and controlled correction. The current correction is driven tighter lending policies. Residential Real Estate a human necessity. Cash flow positive returns where achievable thanks to tax relief and high demand. Value is driven by speculation, economic cycles, systemic fundamentals and confidence. Source: https://tradingeconomics.com/australia/indicators
Have a look at the life graph below as well.

Since 2018 the heat has left the market and that is a good thing. In the long term housing has always performed well above the CPI (consumer price index if you can trust it as a true indicator of monetary devaluation). In short, real estate has real value and in the long term has always remained a robust asset class and prudent investment and is much safer than cash or shares. But remember, never put all your eggs in one basket -diversify.
House prices and building activity have been trending down. Future trends are a mathematical exercise in extrapolation of past data and depend on the starting point selected. |
Based on the past, current macro economics and the underlying unresolved structural fundamentals (debts) it is very reasonable to expect more pain. Watch video of a discussion here. For the statistically minded more data can be found at ... https://tradingeconomics.com/australia/housing-index
How to get started as a property investor:
I recommend that investors looking at Australian properties consider browsing free information and resources first, such as investor magazines and newspaper columns by Hotspotting Guru Terry Rider and Property Strategist Michael Matusik . Australia has a robust population growth of 1.4% ( long term ca 300 kpa mainly due to migration) that drives GDP proportionally. Australia has a small refugee intake with a closed border policy. Hence Long term job growth and population growth is robust, but Fertility rates at 1.8% fall short of the the replacement rate of 2.1% (1.86 births per woman 2014). NSW has the most relaxed dual occupancy regulations (Granny flats without a Granny) in Australia. When you invest the most important assets are knowledge and tools. If you prefer using free seminars to gain knowledge be aware that you may be getting targeted to buy that too good to resist property. But if you use the best in tools you can beat the crowds and avoid emotional bias in your property purchases. Free tools such as Property Search Engine Mitula will not be able to match the value of a paid membership site. Other free Investor Tools are available at Realestate.com.au . Hotspot Central's Demand Supply Ratio Tool DSR may no longer be free (check it out). Please note: Since 2018 The Australian property market is correcting downwards and for 2019 this is expected to continue. Check out Household debt and Household wealth !
What about the free seminars ?
They are educational, but peppered with dreams and the ones I went to have used an emotionally very appealing pitch. They have value if you can keep your cool and sleep over it. Maybe its best to leave your credit card at home. In any case make sure you go online before you sign. If you miss out signing at the seminar cause you need more time, be sure there will always be another opportunity - don't let them b/s you. Some providers give you a money back guarantee, but others don't. I don't sign up for free guru training seminars any more these days, but I would recommend the local investors club (see below). Among the pro's in property investment training seminars Dymphna Boholt is well respected for her professionalism and even if her training courses are as expensive as the others, I recon she comes closest to offering fair value for money and has gathered a significant fan club, which is willing to help newbies. But nevertheless I see the Real Estate Investar membership as a viable cheaper alternative to skill up before putting your money down on that bi purchase.
Any other learning tools ?
Real Estate Investar comes to mind. I am sure you haven't missed that I am very fond of the tool set and yes, I have made a bit of money with my affiliate links. I do not advertise anything I don't believe in and wouldn't buy myself. However my blog readers feedback is that you keep your guards up when engaging their property sourcing services. They should be expected to act like any property marketers and employ the ricks of the trade and/or take a nice cut. Of course they will wave their fees when you buy through them, but you should expect that their propositions could be biased just as well. So get the tools and diy and ask the members in your local investors club if what you have set your eyes on is a good buy. To learn more about me click here.
