    The Myth of ‘Easy’ Property Wealth – What Investors Need to Know, with Brett Warren

    In this episode of Michael Yardney Podcast I’m joined by Brett Warren to challenge a common belief many beginning property investors hold: that those who bought into the market 20 years ago had it easy.   It’s a complaint I hear often—‘If only I had bought back then, property was so affordable.’   But what if we told you that investing in property has never been easy? The investors who succeeded weren’t simply lucky—they were those who stayed the course through thick and thin.  We’ll also share the story of Joseph, one of our clients who bought a 2 bedroom apartment in Marrickville, Sydney, back in 2008 and paid $280,000 for his property, which is now valued at nearly $1 million.     Takeaways        Investing in property has always been challenging, regardless of the era.        Long-term thinking is crucial for successful property investment.        Emotional resilience helps investors navigate market fluctuations.        A strategic plan is essential for achieving investment goals.        Quality assets should be prioritised over the quantity of properties owned.        Market cycles are inevitable; understanding them is critical to success.        Investors should focus on fundamentals rather than short-term data.        Education and self-improvement are vital for financial success.        Networking with experienced investors can provide valuable insights.        Patience and a long-term vision are necessary for wealth creation.   Chapters 04:39 Long-Term Focus and Patience in Investing 07:40 Emotional Resilience in Property Investment 10:28 The Importance of a Strategic Plan 13:31 Quality Over Quantity in Property Assets 16:47 Understanding Market Cycles and Trends 19:30 Navigating Interest Rates and Economic Factors 22:46 The Window of Opportunity in Property Investment 24:45 The Importance of Reading for Wealth   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  Get a bundle of free reports and eBooks – 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: The Myth of ‘Easy’ Property Wealth – What Investors Need to Know, with Brett Warren Shownotes plus more here: The Myth of ‘Easy’ Property Wealth – What Investors Need to Know, with Brett Warren

  3. Investing Success Isn’t What You Think: Warren Buffett’s Mind-Blowing Secret Revealed

    Investing Success Isn’t What You Think: Warren Buffett’s Mind-Blowing Secret Revealed

    In this episode of Michal Yardney Podcast, I share Warren Buffett's Ovarian Lottery theory, which highlights how luck plays a role in shaping our circumstances and opportunities.   In general when we talk about success, we focus on hard work, talent, and determination, but Warren Buffett points out that luck plays an equally important role.  The circumstances of one's birth can significantly affect life outcomes, and the gap between the wealthy and the poor is widening.   Those born into wealth are more likely to continue accumulating it, while those without such support face greater challenges in building their own financial security.  While the world is getting richer overall, the gap between the wealthiest and poorest is widening, and this is reflected in the housing market and the broader economy.   The ovarian lottery has a lasting impact on society. By acknowledging its role, we can work towards a future where success is determined not by the circumstances of our birth, but by our efforts, talents, and the opportunities we create for ourselves and others.  I also discuss the concept of 'big rocks' in life, emphasising how vital it is to prioritise significant goals and tasks.   I stress the importance of gratitude and social responsibility, encouraging myself and others to reflect on our advantages and the significance of helping those in need.    Takeaways      Warren Buffett's Ovarian Lottery theory illustrates the role of luck in success.      Gratitude is crucial for appreciating one's circumstances.      Recognizing the advantages we have fosters empathy       Reflecting on our luck can lead to a more compassionate society.      Social responsibility is a moral obligation for the fortunate.      Big rocks are the essential tasks and goals in life. Prioritising big rocks leads to a more fulfilling life.    Chapters  00:59 The Importance of Humility and Gratitude in Success  01:30 The Ovarian Lottery Concept  04:22 Luck and Success: A Personal Reflection  07:42 Empathy and Social Responsibility  10:35 Gratitude and Life's Advantages  14:03 Understanding Big Rocks: The Foundation of Priorities  19:49 The Big Rock Story: A Lesson in Prioritization  23:04 Implementing the Big Rocks Concept in Daily Life  27:49 Understanding Property Investment Strategies    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  Get a bundle of free reports and eBooks – 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: Investing Success Isn’t What You Think: Warren Buffett’s Mind-Blowing Secret Revealed

    What’s Next for Interest Rates? Dr. Andrew Wilson’s Predictions for 2025

    While the Reserve Bank of Australia has kept rates on hold yet again, the big question is—how much longer will this last?  And more importantly, when might we see the next rate cut?  With the local economy sending mixed signals, it seems that many economists are finding it increasingly difficult to predict the RBA’s next move. In fact, they keep changing their forecasts.  But it's not just our local factors in play.  Overseas developments, particularly the political shifts in the United States with a newly elected president, could have ripple effects that impact our rates here in Australia.  How will these global pressures influence the timing of any rate cuts? And what might it mean for property markets and investors looking to plan their next move?  That’s what I discussed today with Dr Wilson, chief economist of My Housing Market, in today’s podcast.  Takeaways ·       The RBA has held rates steady for the eighth consecutive month, but with economic signals unclear, economists are finding it increasingly difficult to forecast the next move. While many expect a rate cut next year, Dr. Andrew Wilson predicts it may not come until at least late 2025. ·       The RBA has indicated that inflation is unlikely to settle within its target range (2-3%) until 2026. With underlying inflation still above 3%, the RBA is expected to keep rates "restrictive" until inflation is sustainably under control. ·       Despite the cost-of-living pressures, the Australian economy remains resilient with a low unemployment rate, record-high workforce participation, and robust job growth. Retail sales are also holding strong, staying well above pre-COVID levels. ·       Political and economic shifts overseas, particularly in the U.S., could impact the RBA's future rate decisions, adding an extra layer of uncertainty for investors and homeowners trying to plan their next steps. ·       The latest ABS data shows a slight decrease in the total value of new housing loans in September, with a 0.3% drop to $30.2 billion. While investor loans fell by 1.0%, owner-occupier loans inched up by 0.1%. Investor loan values remain high in states with strong housing markets.

    Why Warren Buffett Would Be Eyeing Melbourne’s Property Market Right Now, with Brett Warren

    In today’s show, Brett Warren and I dissect Warren Buffett’s investing principles, especially as they could apply to the Melbourne property market. We explore the value of long-term strategies, the importance of quality assets, and the need for solid cash flow. We also discuss market cycles, how interest rates affect investments, and why it’s essential to have a safety margin. Overall, we emphasise taking a strategic approach to property investment, aiming to build wealth steadily over time rather than chasing quick gains, discussing things like… · Long-term wealth building requires patience and strategic planning. · Market cycles are inevitable; timing the market is less important than “time in” the market. · Quality assets are essential for long-term capital growth. · Cash flow is crucial for sustaining investments during downturns. · Investing in desirable locations can mitigate risks. · A margin of safety protects investments from market fluctuations. · Understanding demographics and trends is key to successful investing. · Building a solid foundation takes time but pays off in the long run. · Having a strategic plan is vital for navigating the property market.    Links and Resources: Michael Yardney, founder of Metropole Brett Warren - National Director of Property at Metropole Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us Get a bundle of free reports and eBooks – 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.

    Key Trends Shaping Australia’s Property Market in 2025 | Big Picture Podcast with Pete Wargent

    Our housing markets have been remarkably resilient over the last year, despite high interest rates and even though the RBA didn’t drop interest rates this year, like many expected. With inflation falling faster than expected, there is now the anticipation of rate drops early next year and it seems that the gloom that descended on Australian consumers 2 ½ years ago is finally showing signs of lifting. What does this mean for our economy and housing markets? That’s exactly what Pete Wargent and I discussed in today’s show. We explore also the impact of government policies on property investment and analyze demographic trends affecting housing demand. The conversation also touches on the challenges within the construction sector and the outlook for property investment in Australia, particularly in light of immigration and economic predictions for 2025.
