“Tax Changes on Horizon”

There’s a lot of noise at the moment about potential tax changes, particularly around negative gearing and capital gains tax (CGT).

It’s unsurprising given that these topics seem to resurface at least once or twice a year.

Abolishing negative gearing or increasing CGT would cause one of the biggest house price booms in history. Having said that, there is little to no prospect of it happening.

“Cash flow is like oxygen; run out, and it’s over very quickly.”

If I haven’t heard my uncle, John Fitzgerald, say this to me a hundred times, it’s been a thousand.

How right he is, because it doesn’t matter how big your portfolio is, how high your returns are on paper or how good your long-term strategy looks, if the cash dries up – you’re done and could even go broke.

As investors, we operate in three core modes: Plan, deliver and gamble. Find out how to do this in my latest blog at:

When it comes to property investing, understanding the broader economic environment is just as important as picking the right suburb.

One key piece of economic data that savvy investors (including myself) pay close attention to is Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

Get the latest on what impact Australia's GDP is likely to have on interest rates and property investment in my latest blog at:

This week I explore why investing in property makes financial sense.

If it were up to me, I would eliminate all risk. However, the truth is that a certain level of risk is unavoidable if one wishes to get ahead in life.

The trick lies in choosing the right kind of risk – one where the odds are in your favour.

That’s why I invest in property. Now, I know how that might sound. Someone who owns 10 properties and works in property development, admitting he doesn’t like risk?

Hear me out, as I explain why I don’t see investing in property as risky.

This week on the blog, What the AFR Rich List Reveals About How Australia’s Wealthiest Made Their Fortunes

Each year, the Australian Financial Review (AFR) releases one of the country’s most fascinating and talked-about publications: The Rich List.

It’s not just a peek into the net worth of Australia’s wealthiest - it’s a lens into the industries shaping serious wealth in this country.

This year’s Rich List 200 once again reveals some eye-watering figures and surprising insights. While the list itself is interesting, what is more interesting to me is how these Australians made their money - property dominates.

One in three of the 250 richest Australians made their wealth through property investment.

This week on the blog, Power of Habits

“We are the sum of what we do repeatedly – our thoughts, words and actions. Research shows that 90 per cent of the thoughts we have today are the same ones we had yesterday. And the day before that. And the day before that.

You see, that’s the power of habit.

Some habits move us forward – others keep us stuck. Even worse than that, some habits quietly sabotage our progress without us even realising it.(...)"

This week on the blog, Four things they should teach at school

“For the youth of today, understanding money is as essential as math, reading or science and everything in between. Yet, most of us graduate without a clear understanding of how to manage it.

If I could go back in time and hand my younger self a letter upon completion of Year 12, this would be it…

This week on the blog, Vacancy Rates Just Hit 1.1%: Why That’s a Big Deal

“Australia’s national rental vacancy rate has fallen again – down from 1.3% in February to just 1.1% in March.

While this may sound like a small drop, it’s significant in the world of real estate. It means we’re diving even deeper into one of the tightest rental markets in recent memory.

When the vacancy rate is this low, the balance of power shifts decisively in favour of landlords.

Why?’"(...)"

This week on the blog, Why mortgage repayments can be exciting

“Mortgage repayments are not exciting. There, I said it and it’s a sentiment I think the Federal Opposition Leader will find out first-hand this weekend.

Let’s face it, none of us are strutting into a party saying: “You should see how much of my mortgage I paid off last week.”

Maybe we should, as for a third of Australian households, the mortgage is their biggest monthly budget burden.’"(...)"

This week on the blog, It's Supply, Stupid

“In 1992, Bill Clinton’s political advisor made famous the phrase: “It’s the economy, stupid.” The idea was simple: if you improve people’s standard of living, they’ll vote for you. If you don’t, they won’t.

When it comes to housing in Australia today, we need to adapt James Carville’s line: ‘It’s supply, stupid.’"(...)"

This week on the blog, The Power of Clear Vision

“I want to share with you an excerpt from a letter I received this past week—it was so profound and impactful that I couldn’t keep it to myself.

"I understand NOW, taking this DECISION to act THEN, was a starting point that enriched many aspects of our lives: family, finances, spirituality, social connections, education, business, knowledge, but most importantly, it cultivated a growth mindset and taught us how to maintain financial discipline."(...)"
