Why is the property rental yield an invaluable tool in the world of property investment? How can you interpret it to make smart decisions? Today, we're joined by Stuart Wemyss to pull back the curtain on this lucrative topic. Not only will you understand what rental yield is and how it's calculated, but we'll also dive into why they generally range between 2% and 5% in Australia. 

We'll be exploring the two main factors that influence rental yields: the size and condition of the property and its location. Stuart will share valuable insights into four possible explanations for a property's rental yield, and how to use this information to determine if a property is investment grade or not. We'll be discussing the importance of understanding the proportion of land versus building value, why a high rental yield may indicate low capital growth, and how to spot if a property is undervalued. If you're interested in property investment, this is a not-to-be-missed episode!

Looking ahead to Australia's economic future, we're faced with a provocative question - does Australia need a recession now? 

This episode promises to stir your thoughts and provide some food for consideration as we delve into the impact of interest rates on inflation and how this tool could be used to induce a deliberate recession. Brace yourself for an in-depth discussion of the implications of rising costs of living, including wages, energy costs, and insurance premiums, on Australians from various income brackets and debt levels. We'll also dissect how businesses may need to increase their charges to sustain their profit margins, potentially triggering a wage-price inflation spiral and an unsustainable economy.

Switching gears, we engage with the potential approach of the Reserve Bank of Australia to manipulate interest rates in an attempt to counter inflation and possibly induce a recession. We promise an enlightening exploration of its possible impact on productivity and inflation, and how this strategy could stabilize the economy for the long haul. However, this episode isn't all doom and gloom; we'll also highlight the potential opportunities in such a scenario to restructure certain industries. But we won't shy away from the possible downside either, emphasizing that a deep recession isn't necessary to gain the desired outcome. Need some insights into Australia's economic future? Prepare for a roller-coaster ride of ideas and perspectives in this episode.
