EP. 210 I WALKED INTO A CAR DEALERSHIP and THEY WOULDN'T SELL ME ANYTHING
Commercial property isn’t just for the ultra-wealthy. One example: • Purchase price: under $250k • Rent: $270/week + GST • Approx return: ~7% That’s significantly higher than the typical 2–3% residential yield. And here’s the kicker — you can even use your super fund (SMSF) to invest in commercial property. Key takeaways: ✔ No strict age barrier ✔ Possible with smaller balances (around $20k+) ✔ Doesn’t affect your personal borrowing capacity ✔ Potential for both rental income and capital grow...
Buying property isn’t just about your deposit anymore — it’s about your wage-to-loan ratio too. 💰 Banks are lending around 5–6x your income. So earning $80K and trying to buy a $2M home? The numbers won’t stack up. What we’re seeing: • First-home buyers using family guarantees • Leveraging rental income to increase borrowing power • Living at home to avoid rising rent • Building equity through smart first investments The key? 👉 Understand your borrowing capacity 👉 Map out your next 5 steps 👉 ...
Houses vs Units on the Northern Beaches 🏡 115% growth on a $2M house over 10 years? That’s over $4M. Massive. Here’s the split we see 👇 • Units = yield & lower entry cost • Houses = long-term capital growth Units are great for first-time investors. Lower deposit, lower outgoings. Houses? Bigger buy-in, higher costs… but historically stronger growth. It all comes down to cash flow, risk appetite & long-term goals. If you’re thinking of investing on the Northern Beaches, our door’s alwa...
Sitting on equity on the Northern Beaches? 🏡 Before you sell (and pay stamp duty + agent fees), consider rebuilding or adding a duplex on your current block. More space. Modern design. Potential second income. We checked out GJ Gardner Homes in Brookvale — trusted, proven, and local. Building new might be your smartest next move. #NorthernBeaches #HomeBuild #Duplex #PropertySmart
Commercial property isn’t just real estate… it’s strategy. 💼🏢 In residential, you might spend $50k on a renovation and see little return. But in commercial? A vacant shop at $600k could be worth $800k+ once tenanted. Buy vacant. Build the business. Set a strong lease. Hold the asset. Refinance or sell at a premium. That tenant = leverage. That lease = value. Smart business owners treat property as their second business. Peak earning years won’t last forever 📉 But a well-bought commercial prop...
Termites, ants, fleas & even overgrown gardens 🐜🌿 Who’s responsible — tenant or landlord? ✔️ Tenants should report issues early ✔️ Landlords should organise regular inspections (it’s tax deductible!) ✔️ Annual pest checks can save thousands ✔️ Pet owners must professionally flea treat at end of lease Prevention = clean bins, tidy gardens & good maintenance. Because once the cockroaches move in… it’s war 😅 #PropertyTips #LandlordLife #TenantTips #PestControl #PropertyManagement
💰 “I’ve got the best partners in business… the Australian Government & the banks.” – Harry Triguboff Property is powerful — but so are the costs. Every time you sell and buy, you’re paying: ▪️ Agent fees (on the full value, not just your equity) ▪️ Stamp duty (again… full value) ▪️ Then potentially capital gains tax If you’ve only got 20% equity, those transaction costs can eat up a HUGE chunk of your gains. Do that 2–3 times over 10 years? That’s a fortune gone in fees alone. 😳 This is w...
Price guide or price lies? 👀 We can’t control what a property sells for — at auction or private treaty. The market decides. But price guides? They must reflect real buyer feedback. And if that feedback shifts, the guide should shift too. Underquoting isn’t clever marketing. It’s a short-term tactic dressed up as strategy. And it breaks trust — and hearts. Trust > hype. Always. #RealEstateTalk #PriceGuide #PropertyMarket #Auction #TrustMatters
Brookvale isn’t just another industrial hub — it’s tightly held, high demand, and always growing. We’ve seen yields jump from 2.5% to 8.5% with smart renovations and leasing strategies. One cosmetic upgrade turned into a $2–3M uplift in value. Even small plays work. Storage units from $30K + GST renting at 10% yield = passive income in 10 years. Commercial isn’t about square metres — it’s about yield. Thinking outside the resi box? Let’s talk. 💼📈 #CommercialProperty #Brookvale #PropertyInvest...
Selling isn’t just about listing a property. It’s emotional — especially when it’s due to the “3 D’s”: death, divorce or disputes. If a property isn’t selling, it always comes down to the 3 P’s: 🏷 Price – Are you meeting the market? 🏡 Product – Is the property presented at its best? 📣 Promotion – Are you leaving no stone unturned? And in commercial? Add a 4th P: Patience. Get the strategy right. Listen to the market. Adjust when needed. That’s how properties sell. #RealEstate #PropertyTips #S...
78 negative legislative changes towards landlords in one career. More rental properties = more supply = rents stabilise. It’s basic maths. Right now? Record low rental stock. Tenants struggling. Landlords exiting. If we want rents to ease, we need incentives — not more pressure. This is a sensitive topic, but it’s one we need to talk about. #PropertyMarket #RentalCrisis #Landlords #Tenants #RealEstate
Build costs are skyrocketing. Tight labour market. Materials up. Developers squeezed from every angle. But here’s the silver lining 👇 If you can’t replicate a property at today’s construction prices, that sets a floor under property values. We’re not talking land. Not profit. Just build costs — around $700k+ before land. To replace a 1–3 bedroom apartment today? You’re looking at $1.2m–$1.3m. If you already own property… you’re holding a serious asset. Property isn’t just something you want. ...
Interest rates. Rising costs. Government changes. It’s been tough. But here’s the truth 👇 🏡 Long term? Property still wins for many. 📈 Stocks may outperform at times — but nothing replaces having a place to call home. 💡 If you’re renting and want to buy: start small. Don’t be picky. Grow from 1 bed ➡️ 2 bed ➡️ 3 bed. Everything’s gone up — groceries, bills, life in general. Housing is the big one. If you need guidance navigating it all, we’re here to help. #Property #HomeOwnership #Investing ...
