    Australia Is Heading For Its Biggest Price Drop In 40 Years - No BS Property Show #5

    Australia just banned SMSFs from borrowing to buy residential property, and Dan says the government admitted it had done no financial modelling on what that would do to housing supply. In episode 5 of the No BS Property Show, buyer's agents Daniel Beardall and Josh Yun get fired up about a government making decisions nobody voted for, while families feel the squeeze and a single day in August set a record for business insolvencies. Then they show why, for the people who know how to play it, this market is creating some of the best deals they've ever seen. In this episode, they explain: → Why Josh says "the government are our employees", and why Dan calls it "the furthest thing from a democracy" → The SMSF lending ban, and why 30 to 40% of some of the country's biggest developers' pre-sales were SMSF buyers → Why Australia is likely heading for two years of negative growth in a row, a first in 40 years → The Albanese HECS skit Josh calls "so tone deaf" while families are struggling → How they're making more money this year in a falling market than they did in a rising one → The two deals this year with $770K and $800K+ of instant equity on purchase → The formula they use to succeed in any market, whether it's going up, down or sideways If you're angry about where the market is heading, this is the episode that turns it into a plan. The government keeps changing the rules. The four points Dan and Josh use to pick a property that makes money without relying on the market don't change. Dan walks through them in this episode, and the free guide has all four with real deals scored against them: https://go.bothsides.au/score Follow Josh: ◼️ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thejoshyun/ Bothsides: ◼️ The weekly email - https://bothsides.au ◼️ Dan - https://www.instagram.com/daniel_beardall/ ◼️ Watch on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@bothsidespodcast General information only.

    Property Expert WARNS: Australian House Prices Already Down 10-15% In Some Areas #158

    Tom Panos is telling his own daughters they have three to nine months to buy a home. Here's why. Prices in the areas he's buying in have already dropped 10 to 15%, interest rates are back to GFC levels, and he says it's going to get uglier before it gets better. He's buying anyway. Tom Panos is one of Australia's most recognised real estate coaches. He spent 21 years at News Corp, founded the Real Estate Gym, coaches some of the country's top agents, and has spent 21 years fighting cancer. In this episode, he explains: ▪ Why he's telling first home buyers "don't waste this crisis", and the three to nine month window he sees ▪ Why prices in the areas he's buying in have already dropped 10 to 15% ▪ Why, for the first time, cheaper prices don't mean homes are more affordable ▪ How today's interest rates compare to the GFC, on far higher house prices ▪ Why first home buyers are down 21% year on year, even with the 5% deposit scheme ▪ Why "it's going to get uglier before it gets better, but it's going to get better" ▪ What he told the country's top 100 agents to do while sales volumes fall Tom's advice is not to wait for things to get better. If you're buying in this market, the free guide shows the four points Dan uses to pick a property that makes money without relying on the market: https://go.bothsides.au/score Follow Tom: ◼️ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/tom_panos/ Bothsides: ◼️ The weekly email - https://bothsides.au ◼️ Dan - https://www.instagram.com/daniel_beardall/ General information only.

    How to Buy Off-Market Properties: Where to Find Them and How to Negotiate - No BS Property Show #4

    Most homes that match what you're looking for will never show up on realestate.com. In this episode, Daniel Beardall and Josh Yun (the Off-Market King) break down exactly how a property deal gets done, from getting your finance sorted to finding off-market homes and negotiating the price down. In this episode you'll learn: → The 5 steps every property deal goes through → The 6 ways to search for property (and why the portals are only one of them) → How to get access to off-market properties through agents and property managers → Why you should start in the "sold" section, not the "for sale" section → How to value a property before you make an offer → How to use seller motivation and settlement terms to pay less → The negotiation tactic that took $250,000 off a Sydney home Most buyers fight over the same few listings everyone else can see, at the price the seller sets. The ones who pay less find the homes nobody else knows about, and it comes down to five steps...

    How to Build a 9-Figure Business In Australia: The 9-Pillar System Behind $450M In Client Sales - Vaughn Royer #156

    Vaughn Royer quit a $150,000-a-year job to knock on doors, and at 21 sold his house to keep the business alive. Today he's turned client outcomes into $450 million in client sales, running ad accounts that spend up to $100,000 a day. He didn't get there by building a personal brand. Vaughn says he's scaled businesses to nine figures with no name, no brand and zero content, and that most of the marketing industry is obsessed with the wrong number - leads, when the only thing that pays the bills is sales. He learned direct response under John Gian, the man he calls the best direct response marketer in Australia, and now runs the ads behind some of the country's biggest names in property, finance and education - built on paid acquisition systems rather than audience building. In this episode, he explains: ▪ How he turns $1,000 of ad spend into $3,000 - and the 30/30/30 rule that makes the numbers work ▪ Why "we need more creative" is almost never the real problem, and what actually is ▪ How to cut your time from first click to closed sale from six months down to six days ▪ The four-line formula behind every ad he writes - and why the message beats the visual every time ▪ The real reason he refuses to show anyone his best performing ad ▪ What it cost him to get here - and what he'd tell his own kids about money that most parents get wrong Vaughn builds funnels that keep working while you sleep. Property should work the same way. Most properties only make money if the market does. The ones that pay for themselves from the day you settle are bought differently, and it comes down to four points.

    Josh Morrissey re-entered Real Estate after a decade in the trades. By 37, he’d built a property portfolio worth tens of millions, to a multimillion-dollar debt-free position.
