But what does the data actually say and what is the best % of renters in the suburb we are investing in?

And not one way or another, that it's going to give you, you know, the best chance of renting your property and the best chance of selling your property. But what does the data actually say about what is the best percentage of renters? Do we want a high percentage of renters? So there's lots of people in the area to rent out property? Do we want a low percentage and mostly owner occupiers, which means there might not be as rental properties in the market? Is that going to be hard to then rent out the property? How does all this affect us? So today, I've got with me, Jeremy Shepherd from select residential property to talk through the data and to say, Okay, what does the data say about percentage of renters versus the growth that an area is likely to help? So thanks for coming on today, Jeremy, Jeremy 0:56thanks for having me on your show. Right. Ryan 0:59Okay, so what does the data tell us about this Goldilocks zone of just you know, the right amount of renters? I think, if I've ever heard it, which I don't know if I have, but it would be like around that kind of 20 to 30 35%. Mark, and then people say, you know, anything that's too high renters is probably not good. Jeremy 1:20Yeah. Well, there's there's an argument where you say are too high renters means? There aren't enough owner occupiers taking better care of their property. There's too many other landlords you competing with over the over the other, the tenants available. And then the opposite is some people are arguing. Well, if there are no tenants there, how do we know that that anyone wants to rent there. But that's really just a case of, there's no supply of rental property, I would much prefer to buy in a location where, where there are no other landlords I'm competing with. But anyway, that's all very good data, we Ryan 1:56heard from at least one expert in the field that has said you want to target suburbs with this range of renters. And you don't want to look in suburbs that ha

But what I'm starting to see is that a lot of suburbs tend to perform extremely similar over the long term.

(Property Data Dive) Good Schools and Amenities DON'T Create Capital Growth! SHOCKING RESULT! Transcription Ryan 0:00In order to get the best return on investment and achieve our property investment goals, we're told to invest in the right suburbs so that over the long term, they're going to outperform other suburbs. And you're going to end up you know, so much richer than if you purchased in the wrong suburb. But what I'm saying to say what image Jamie Shepard from select residential property is that a lot of suburbs in general, tend to perform very similar over the long term that yes, in the short term, there can be big disparities between suburbs. And there can be value in you know, picking your suburbs for the short term. But when you start stretching it out to 20 3040 years, a lot of these suburbs especially the choosing suburbs, with good fundamentals tend to perform extremely similar. So I guess this is kind of looking at short term versus long term investing. And Jeremy has got a great metaphor and analogy that can help us understand this, which is the concept of purchasing apples and oranges. So do you want to lead us into that, Jeremy? Sure. Jeremy 1:03Thanks. Thanks, Ryan. Thanks for having me on your show. No, all right, let's say you walk into a fruit shop 100 years ago, and there's a crate of apples, and there's a crate of oranges. Now assume that the apples were one cent each and the oranges were two cents each. If the apples grew at a rate of 4% per annum, whilst the oranges grew at a rate of 8% per annum, then after 100 years, an apple would cost you 50 cents. And an orange would cost you $44. Ryan 1:36Okay, imagine the beginning. Did I just start out at two cents? Did you say Jeremy 1:40yes, oranges for two cents. Ryan 1:43So in the beginning, oranges were worth twice as much as apples. And then

It has been a long journey and this episode I want to take you on a journey of the property deposits I have saved in the past. But why didn't I buy property in the past and what am I doing to save my deposit today?

I am finally saving my first house deposit. This is not the first deposit that I've saved, but Fingers crossed, this will be the one that will actually get me my first property. It is absolutely amazing what a difference a couple of years can make. In this episode, I want to take you on the journey of the deposits that I've saved in the past which I've actually saved quite a few and never purchased property. why I did that? Do I regret it? Because, you know, I could have purchased property probably around 15 years ago, which obviously would have grown But why didn't I What happened? And then what am I doing to save my deposit today. So grab yourself a tea or coffee or water and settling because it is storytime This is my journey. This has been a long journey and an arduous journey. But hopefully this will encourage you to go out there and to say that, even if it doesn't happen overnight, if we have a plan, if we strategize if we work towards it, we can get there eventually. And we can have an amazing life along the way, which I actually think is more important than buying the properties. I think the most important thing is having the amazing life, you buy properties as an insurance policy to give you financial freedom to give you choices in order to do that. So now I'm saving my deposit probably got around about the 15 to $25,000 put aside for property, I'm looking at buying something around about 350 to $450,000, with maybe a five to 10% deposit. So I probably need anywhere from around 17 and a half 1000 up to $45,000 for a deposit plus stamp duty and closing costs. So you're looking at another what maybe 1015 $20,000 in order to save for those closing costs. So I'm actually not too far away from purchasing my first property, hopefully in a couple of months. But let's go back and look over my life and see what got me to thi

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSrDuSuILAs We are so often told that if we want the best capital growth our property needs to be close to amenities. Good school, train stations and shopping centers or other public transport are often touted as key indicators of future growth. But what does the data actually say about the affect of amenities on the capital growth of a suburb? The results from this one are extremely surprising. Read this article: Select Residential Property DSR Data 0:00 - Introduction1:40 - Key idea: Price has already factored in existing amenities, which does NOT lead to more growth4:00 - How expansion of Brisbane airport affected prices short and long term4:45 - Do train stations affect capital growth7:55 - Be careful of starting and ending points of statistics8:30 - Do school affect capital growth11:00 - How do beaches affect capital growth12:55 - How does proximity to shops affect capital growth13:58 - How does walkscore affect capital growth?21:24 - What do we do with this data?26:04 - Price variability over time Recommended Videos: Property Data Dive Series Transcription Ryan 0:00We're often told that when you're buying a property to get the best capital growth, the best return on investment, you want to look for properties that are close to amenities close to really good schools, close to shops and shopping centers, close to public transport. How many times have you heard people say, you know, this is a great suburb because it's got all of these factors in it. But as an investor, what we care about is the return on our investment, how much is that property going to grow? How is it going to perform? And so is this actually important? And today, I've got with me, Jeremy Shepherd from select residential property to actually dive through the data on this one, yes, it makes logical sense that we want these amenities there. But does the data actually back up this idea that this is going to lead to higher than average capital growth? So I'm excited for this on Hey, Jeremy, how I Jeremy 0:50can hire Ryan, Manuel, how are you? Ryan 0:52Yes, very good. I'm looking to buy a property in the very near future. And this is obviously something that I'm thinking about and considering when looking at suburbs is to say, okay, what's the suburb? Like? What are the schools like in the suburbs? have close to the shops have close to the transport, basically, trying to get an idea of, you know, why would people want to live here? And will they want to live here in the future? And does it have those desirable things, but I'm thinking you're going to tell me something different given? You've done the data analysis, and there's an article on this? Jeremy 1:26Yeah, good, good guess. Yeah, look, it's not a complete waste of time researching this sort of stuff. But there's, there's a very clear caveat to it. It's not automatic, that if you're buying in a suburb with good schools, shops, transport, all those amenities, that you're going to get above ave

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3PVAUKovuQ Let's talk about bad debt and how to pay off debt. I'm so grateful to say I am FINALLY in a position where I am debt free and now able to save a house. But rewinding to 2-3 years ago that was not the situation I was in. I quickly got into around $100,000 worth of debt. Here's how I managed to pay it off in such a short period of time. 0:00 - Introduction2:05 - #1: Write Down ALL My Debts3:26 - #2: Accept Where You Are3:48 - #3: Write Down All My Assets To Know My Net Position4:20 - #4: Calculate Minimum Required Payments5:37 - #5: Cut Spending DRASTICALLY7:23 - #6: Increase Your Income10:20 - #7: Keep Expenses Low Even As Income Increases11:19 - #8: Create a Buffer Fund14:04 - #9: Have Great People Around You Recommended Videos: How I Got Myself Into Debt How I'm Paying Off Debt Transcription Ryan 0:00Let's talk about debt. Let's talk about bad debt. And let's talk about how to pay off debt. I'm so grateful to say that I am finally, finally, in a position that I am debt free and actually saving towards a deposit for a house. And I found out yesterday that I may actually even have most of my deposit ready and be able to go way faster than I thought. But if you rewind to about two, two and a half years ago, that was not the situation that I was in, I quickly got into a lot of debt, around $100,000 worth of debt once it was all tallied up. And let me tell you, that is a scary, scary figure. So in this episode, I want to talk about the things that I did to get out of such a significant amount of debt debt that was crippling debt that nearly sent me bankrupt. And so if you have bad debt and your life, whether it be as bad as me, or maybe just some credit card debt that you want to get rid of, what are some things that you can do to start to remove that debt, and actually get ahead in life? Hey, I'm Ryan from OnProperty, helping you on your journey to financial freedom. I'm currently at the beautiful garden falls on the Sunshine Coast. And it's taken me a lot of heartache, and a lot of hard work to get here. But I'm excited to share this story with you. I have been financially free through my businesses twice now been in extreme amount of debt and been able to pay that off. And I'm now saving towards my first property, which I should hopefully purchase this year. But if you're in this situation like I was in when you're in debt, how did I go about actually paying that off? and wiping that debt completely? Because I didn't do what everyone told me I should do. I actually tackled this my own way in a way that was true to myself. And I'm obviously really happy with the result having cleared that debt in just two years, but not just cleared it but also created financial freedom through my businesses, again in that two year period. So what did I do that was different? And what can you take away from this? Well, the very first thing that I did was actually sat down and wrote down all of my debts, I lived in denial

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lMnvaDCPQ0 We are often told to get the best capital growth we should buy the more premium and expensive suburbs and avoid the cheaper suburbs.People things suburbs are cheap for a reason and are going to stay cheap. But is this actually true? Do cheaper suburbs actually underperform compared to more expensive suburbs. Cheap Markets Are Not Under-Performers (Article Link) Select Residential Property DSR Data 0:00 - Introduction1:23 - Why are cheaper suburbs cheaper2:59 - Cheap vs Expensive Growth Australia Wide5:26 - Cheap vs Expensive in Regions7:00 - Cheap vs Expensive in Smaller Regions8:30 - Cheaper suburbs always perform better no matter which way you look at it9:05 - Cheapest vs Cheaper vs Dearer vs Dearest12:00 - Cheap vs Expensive in Major Capital Cities13:17 - Looking at Deciles15:00 - Looking at a 40 year period16:30 - Cheap vs Expensive Yield17:13 - Why buying cheaper properties could be better than more expensive properties Recommended Videos: Do Properties Near The CBD Actually Get More Capital Growth? (Property Data Dive) Transcription Ryan 0:00We're often told in order to get the best return on investment when buying property that we should buy the more expensive suburbs, the more premium suburbs with the idea being that people in the suburbs maybe have more money. And so I know property's going to grow faster. But what about cheap suburbs? People often think, okay, they're cheaper reason, and they're probably going to stay cheap. But is that actually true to cheap suburbs, underperformed compared to more expensive suburbs? Or is the opposite actually true? So today, I have with me, Jeremy Shepherd from select residential property to actually look through the data and to say, should we be investing in the more expensive suburbs? Or should we be investing in the cheapest other? So hey, Jeremy, thanks for coming on today. Jeremy 0:43Thanks for having me. Ryan 0:45Yeah, this one is really close to home at the moment, because I have saved my deposit, I'm looking to invest in the next few months, three to six months, and looking at different options in South Brisbane for me, but there's the cheapest suburbs, you know, kind of around $350,000 that I can get into with a lower deposit, or there's more expensive suburbs looking at 450 to 550, where obviously, I need a bigger deposit. And so I'm kind of arming an iron between the two. So it'll be interesting to go through this and to see, okay, what could be better? Jeremy 1:19Yeah, well, first of all, they don't underperform. So they're cheap for a reason is true. They are cheaper because they don't have all the nice things that the expensive suburbs have. But that doesn't mean that they underperform just being expensive, doesn't mean that you've had better capital growth. And I think that there's this mistake, mistaken belief that if a suburb is expensive, how did it get there, maybe it had better capital growth, but it's always been more expensive. And the

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rk0Kl026uTU&ab_channel=OnProperty We are often told that if we are going to invest in property we want to find a suburb or street with low government housing. But is this actually true and does the data support this idea? Or can you invest in an area with high public housing and still get great growth in that area? Public Housing in a Suburb is No Big Deal Select Residential Property 0:00 - Introduction1:20 - Why this idea might be false5:08 - What does the data say?10:00 - Yield is not factored in11:25 - Something where there is a clearer trend13:30 - How to use data to build an investment strategy and predict where is likely to be good15:25 - Change in Gov housing vs capital growth Recommended Videos: How To Find Public Housing Hotspots In An Area Why Population Growth Does NOT Predict Capital Growth (Data Dive) Transcription Ryan 0:00We're often told that if we're going to invest in property, we want to find a suburb, we want to find a street with low public housing or low government housing, the idea being that if people own the properties that they're going to invest in them and renovate them, and the suburbs going to go up at a faster rate than other suburbs where that public housing in them are a higher percentage of public housing. But isn't this actually true? When we look at the data? Is this the trend that we say, Oh, can you actually invest in an area with public housing and still get great performance out of your property? So today, I have with me, Jeremy Sheffield, from select residential property to talk about this, to actually dive into the data I'm gonna answer once and for all, as to whether or not this has a big effect on future capital growth or not. So hey, Jeremy, thanks for coming on today. Jeremy 0:50Thanks very much, Ron. And thanks for giving me the opportunity to talk about this topic. Ryan 0:56This is something that has been talked a lot about in the community, there's a lot of experts out there who say to avoid public housing, and honestly, I can understand the reasoning behind it, avoiding you know, issues that can come with that lower socio demographic area, as well as the idea behind, okay, people own the mall owner occupiers, they're going to spend money painting their house and renovating it. And that could live the suburb as a whole. So what does the data actually say? Jeremy 1:25Well, the data suggests that there, it depends, is it there isn't really much in it. So it comes down to how long the social housing has been there. Let's say let's say a suburb is to host the new cities, sewerage treatment works, you can imagine that capital growth in that area is going to be diminished over over the following years. But eventually, that lack of capital growth, while the rest of the city suburbs are growing, eventually be factored into prices. And this is the thing over a long period of time, just about any sort of amenity or eyesore or advantage gets factored into the price of property.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2TkAOaidtg&ab_channel=OnProperty Experts often tell us that the more a suburb has grown in the past means that suburb is more likely to grow in the future. But is that actually true and does the property data back up this idea: High Property Growth History is a Red Flag Select Residential Property 0:00 - Introduction1:38 - Why the opposite might actually be true4:45 - What does the data tell us?9:50 - Last 10 years vs next 10 years12:15 - Applying this to cities and larger markets15:00 - Performance of significant urban areas over the last 30 years Recommended Videos: Why Population Growth Does NOT Predict Capital Growth (Data Dive) Transcription Ryan 0:00Experts often tell us that the more a suburb has grown in the path or a suburb with good growth history means that that's above is also likely to grow in the future. So does the past predict the future in terms of Southern growth? But is that is that actually true? Are we actually making these decisions based on data? Or someone just told us this and you know, general consensus has just kind of agreed to it and gone along with it. So today, I have with me, Jeremy Shepherd from select residential property, to look at the data behind this and say, okay, does pass growth actually predict future growth? Or could the opposite be true? And I absolutely love Jeremy, that you just take a super data approach to this. And you're happy to, I guess, come over the top with some, I guess, counterintuitive views on what may be happening here and just provide us with these knowledge bombs of insight. So super excited for this one. Jeremy 0:56Yeah. Well, thanks very much for having me. on your show, Ryan. And this is this is a topic that I I get a lot of heated arguments with, with experts about Yeah, so I'm always falling back on what the data says Show me. Ryan 1:10What is the premise here that the experts are saying, why why do they think that? If an area has grown Well, in the past, it's going to grow? Well, in the future? What is their reasoning? Do you think? Jeremy 1:23Right question. I actually, it is it is peculiar. Why is it just because it did in the past? Why does that mean it will in the future? Because my initial reaction is, well, if it's if it's grown too much in the past, if it's outperformed, and put a massive gap between itself and you know, its neighboring suburbs? Don't the neighboring suburbs look more attractive, because they're now relatively affordable by comparison. And that's the whole concept of this ripple effect where, you know, you have the ideal suburb, everyone's buying there, they love it, prices go up too high. And then people look for the next best. So they think, well, it's not ideal, but it's it's close enough. And so that reduces demand for the ideal suburb, because then it's unaffordable, and increases demand for the next best thing. And that just keeps happening. And it all ripples outwards from, you know, the most affluent, exclusive subu

Ryan 0:13Remember that this is your life. This is the one life that you get to live. This is your journey, and you need to be true to yourself and what you want. So I'm very much an advocate for not living the life that someone else wants you to live. The dream for a lot of people is to be able to make a living doing what you love. But actually thinking about that and dreaming about that versus making it happen and enjoying your work and enjoying what you do. He kid the steps between that can be very difficult. And a lot of people find themselves in dead end jobs or things that they don't like that stripping their energy. So in today's episode, I'm joined by new john Taylor, who's one of my best friends who at a very young age has been very successful doing what she absolutely loves. So going from promo work, which he wasn't super stoked on to becoming a DJ and quickly becoming a very successful DJ to now running her own meditate and levitate events. And so today we're going to just kind of discuss, okay, what kind of steps have we taken to create a life where we are doing what we love, whether we're getting paid huge bucks for it or not? Doesn't really matter. But it's that we love coming to work. And look, I'm in a similar situation where I love the work that I do the videos that I create the websites I run, we're currently you know, in Port Macquarie in this amazing spot. So it's a Monday afternoon. So yeah, so I guess that gives us a bit of insight into the situation. And yeah, how can we actually go from a dead end job to doing what we love? Yeah, just just how do you do that? N'Jaane 1:56Well, okay, if you want to, if you've watched the last video that we did on money, that obviously definitely helps. If you haven't, just go check that out. But basically, having a good system where you then have a buffer and you have more freedom obviously helps. Ryan 2:13Yeah, so managing your money well, so that you've got a buffer fund.

But is this actually true? Today? I have with me, Jeremy Shepard from selected residential property to talk about this. Do we actually need to buy in the CBD or as close to the CBD as possible? And is it true that the further out we get, the worse our capital growth is going to be? When we look at the data? Does it actually tell us a different story? So hey, Jeremy, thanks for coming on today. Jeremy 0:37Thanks for having me. on your show. Ron. Ryan 0:40No worries. So yeah, this is one that I'm really curious about. I know that you take different angles, other people, you look at the data, I guess more, I don't know, less emotionally, you don't draw conclusions as quickly as other people do? And you tend to say no, what does the data actually tell us? And sometimes you throw your hands up and say, Look, it doesn't really tell us much. So I'm excited to hear what conclusions you come to and what data you've looked at. So don't talk us through a bit about what research you've done, what conclusions it's likely to? Yeah, well, Jeremy 1:11I guess it was all triggered by having a look at some prior reports, I've seen quite a few. And it all seemed very convincing. And I tried to replicate the same sort of results and just to a little more well rounded job of it. So for example, people refer to inner ring, middle ring, outer ring, why have we got three rings? A lot of the reports I've seen have just focused on a single city. And I just thought, we need something a little bit more broad. What I wanted to know was, what is the improvement in capital growth per kilometer closer to the CBD? Is it possible to come up with a metric like that. And really, what I found was, there's not really much in it. And it's debatable whether there's anything in it. In fact, if I just scroll down, I think there was a Okay, so I go through some other reports and just point out some of the shortcomings, or some of these reports were quite a few

Today, I have with me, john Taylor, who is one of my best friends in the whole world, but also an extremely successful young person I've seen you go from, you know, basically having no money at all. N'Jaane 0:58And they're stressed out, Ryan 1:00stressed out on money, and then even earning just small amounts to be able to build up savings, build up a buffer and fun, build up your life to the point now, a couple of years later, when you're a successful DJ, you're running, meditate and levitate, you've got a lot of things going on in your life and more money coming in than you used to. And you still better at managing money than me. I'm excited to share today, some of the things that you do in your life that people can take away and maybe apply to their lives, whether you're young, this will help you. But even if you're older, you can take a lot from this as well. So thanks for finally coming on. Well, we got there. So what are some of the things that you implemented in your life to get you from that point where you were really stressed out to feeling like you have control over your money? N'Jaane 1:46Yeah, so I was really fortunate. I have a lot of mentors and friends that in the business game and entrepreneurs and so I went to a master your money seminar, I guess when I was really young. And there's just like, it's a really simple tactic that I started implementing. And I found that it didn't a

As a homeowner there can be a seemingly never-ending stream of plumbing problems. Blocked toilets, leaking taps or faulty hot water systems. They’re all a part of life, whether it’s in your own home or an investment property. But when the time comes for necessary, often urgent repairs, you want the best plumber to get the job done. And that decision making process has its own challenges. They key is to never panic or feel rushed. It’s always better to take your time making the right choice instead of chasing up loose ends later on. Backed by a calm approach, here are 8 things you should look for when choosing a good plumber. 1. Positive and Reliable Online Reviews Reviews of Metropolitan Plumbing Sydney The first thing you want to do is look at online reviews. Never leave it until you’re unhappy with a job and want to complain. It’s one thing to stick to a name you remember from television advertising or letterbox drops, but it’s another to properly check out their reputation and reviews. Leading resources include Product Review, an Australian consumer-based review site, and Google Review. Both are independent sources where customers can leave detailed feedback. You can then check out the pros and cons before making any decision. Look for recurring themes surrounding pricing, job satisfaction, customer service and availability. Individual reviews may focus on just one point, like pricing, so it’s always good to capture the overall picture. An inside tip is to avoid the lure of companies which seem too good to be true. An overall 5-star rating looks appealing, but is there actually a large quantity of reviews? A good balance of positive and negative reviews reveals legitimacy and engagement. There’s a better chance at truly seeing a company’s overall performance, rather than a tiny snapshot. Remember, it’s not possible to please everyone. There will be negative reviews and although 5 stars seems tantalising, the 4.5 ratings are the best benchmark. You can build from there and use the feedback as the perfect starting point for choosing a good plumber. Check out Metropolitan Plumbing's reviews on Product Review 2. A Good Social Media/Online Presence An engaging, communicative social media and online presence is just as informative as customer reviews. And although it may not be the first thing you think of when looking for a plumber, it’s an invaluable resource. Regular communication, informative posts and a professional website indicates a company which cares about customers. It’s more than just image.  Evidence of a plumber answering questions and comments is always beneficial. As the customer you can rest assured someone is willing to help if anything goes wrong. On the other hand, when it seems like it’s difficult to engage with a plumber online, often the poor communication stretches to customer service.  Irregular posts, no customer interaction and obvious negative comments are a major detraction. Just stay away from the plumbers and companies

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1k9zSVrMMg&ab_channel=OnProperty People often say you should look at population growth to try and predict capital growth. The idea is that if an area has population growth it is a desirable area and that will lead to capital growth. However, there is a fundamental flaw in this assumption and today I sit down with Jeremy Sheppard from Select Residential Property to discuss why population growth DOES NOT predict capital growth. Select Residential Property Article: Avoid High Population Growth Suburbs 0:00 - Introduction0:45 - Macro vs micro level2:50 - Population growth is a lagging indicator of supply3:40 - Really you want a suburb where there is little to no population growth but the suburb is still desirable4:52 - Taking the macro and applying it to the suburb level6:17 - What to look at instead of population growth6:43 - Population decline is a negative indicator8:25 - Other issues with looking at population growth9:23 - When population growth is a negative indicator Transcription Ryan 0:00People often say that you should look at population growth to try and predict capital growth and that if an area has high population growth, then that means that it's going to grow in the future in terms of the price of properties and capital growth. Today, I have with me, Jeremy Shepherd from selected residential property to actually talk about this, and to analyze and say, okay, is this actually true? Or is this something that just kind of sounds good, but doesn't have any data to back it? So I'm really excited to jump into the data trying to understand, okay, what does predicts capital growth? And it goes through population growth in particular. So, hey, Jeremy, thanks for coming on today. Jeremy 0:38Thanks for having me, Ron. Yeah, so Ryan 0:40talking about this, I think we discussed this years ago when we record it maybe four or five years ago. And I really liked your approach to this because most people say, Okay, if an area is growing in population, that means there's more demand for properties in the area. And as we know, demand versus supply, there's more demand prices are likely to go up. So people say population growth means there's more demand, which means prices are likely to go up. Jeremy 1:07Yeah, and I think at that level, that makes perfect sense. And, and when I look at it from a macro perspective, like Australia and immigration over over the previous years, it does seem to work. The problem is that, from a practical perspective, investor has to find a suburb, they have to find an individual property, and saying that a particular city is going to have excellent population growth, which is going to pump up demand. That's where it sort of loses its practicality because you've got to find an individual suburb. So if you go down to the suburb level, and look at how the population has been changing the suburbs, and a lot of people do that, they'll get ABS data about population growth and suburb level. This is wher

Ben 0:25It was a real good luck, it was awesome. Ryan 0:27But we are vibing on life. And we've done a few of these in the past, which I'll try and find and link up down below. But it's just a more chat to kind of get to know us get to know where we're at mentally, because this is one of the most powerful relationships in my life. I know you've said the same to me. And just so much good stuff comes out of our conversations that we don't really have with other people. And I know a lot of people out there listening don't necessarily have people that are on the same wavelength to them. So we just kind of wanted to share some of the stuff that's been going on with us some of the cool things we've been learning about being present, being mindful, enjoying life now, as things are, you know, in a good spot for both of us, like, let's be real, we had a couple of years there where things were real rough on both of us financially in our lives, like, Ben 1:17yeah, and like what I'm so grateful for man is like, no matter where I was at, I've been able to like, figure it back out. Like, if I could figure it out from where I was with my anxiety like three, four years ago. Like I feel like humanity's got like an epic outlook. You know what I mean? Ryan 1:34That's an invite I can figure it out from where I was in all the debt. I was in everything that I was going through, like one thing you said to me last night when we were walking on the beach is Ben 1:46my sister's little, the tortoise. Hello, buddy, Ryan 1:49showing us his car, his toy car. But yeah, one of the things that you said to me is like, you know, if someone went through just one of the things you went through, or this or that, or that, or that, you know, they'd be struggling and like you're being hard on yourself out to go through all of these different things. And you're judg

Looking into 2021, we've come through an interesting year in 2020, we wanted to ask is 2021 a good time to buy and what sort of things are happening in the market at the moment, and then maybe some comparisons last year, or even comparison to a couple of years ago, and see where we're at, hey, I'm Ryan from OnProperty, helping you achieve financial freedom. I'm joined by Ben Everingham from Pumped on Property to yet give you guys an update. And to talk about this just to see where the sentiments are, how things are progressing and how they might go throughout the year. Ben 0:44You know, I geek out on anything that's like analytical data oriented, it's all about me and what I'm noticing and feeling I'm liking and I've never I've never seen it this bullish at the moment like I've never seen it this positive across the board. Ryan 0:58Yeah. And I think that's something that is just so drastically different from what we've been dealing with for the last almost three years now. You know, Sydney went through its decline, Sydney and Melbourne in 2017 2018. And so, that kind of affected things and then obviously Coronavirus last year, it's just been there's been great opportunities out there. And some markets have been moving but sentiment as a whole hasn't been super bullish and super positive. And now it's just dude, every man and his dog is talking about a property some people I talked to at school, they don't even know I'm a property vlogger YouTuber, they come up they're talking to me about the Brisbane and I'm in Sydney like event talking about Brisbane or the Sunshine Coast or Ben 1:40it's pretty wild like Westpac does an epic little report called the Australian sentiment report and it is now in as of January or February this year, the highest it's been in the last seven years and December was the highest sentiments been in 10 years since the GFC.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Au42IAeoCuM If you're looking at developing medium density property this one is for you. Recently there has been new rules introduced that make getting approval for medium density dwellings easier. Instead of 6-12 months for approval this new process could get you approval in as little as 2 weeks. This is exciting stuff for developers and today I have Luke Durack from http://www.durackarchitects.com/ to discuss this new approval process and how you can take advantage of it. 0:00 - Introduction0:43 - What is this new process?2:23 - Difference between this and DA approval4:00 - What developments does this code apply to?6:08 - Does this apply to granny flats?6:40 - Will this code become more commonly used8:37 - The pros and cons of taking this avenue11:15 - How can people find out more about this?12:45 - How to get in contact with Luke13:15 - Will all architects know about this?

So today I have with me, Luke, jack, from jack architects. Hi, Luke, how's it going? Good, I run good. And today, we're going to talk about this new process and how you could potentially use it if you're doing some property development yourself. So Luke, do you want to kind of give us the rundown? What is this new process? What's it called? Why is it better faster than, you know, going through a DA and going through counsel? Luke 0:52Okay, I'll I'll try and keep it simple because it's, it is simple in nature, but it's quite, it can get quite complicated quite quickly. Basically, as we, when we last spoke, we spoke about compliant development as it relates to houses. So an approval pathway that bypasses council essentially, this new part of the code, which is still compliant development, relates to medium density housing, and it's called the low rise housing diversity code. And it's specific to development types, such as dual occupancies terraces, and what they call Manor houses. And essentially, like, like it is for houses. It's a fast track way of getting through accounts. And so you don't, you're not getting held up by councils having their own particular biases or objections. You go straight through a certifier, you still needed, you'd still need an architect to draw up all your drawings and get all their reports done. But you'd have to worry about neighbor objections, because they can't have an

Michael 0:34Good Ryan. Good to be here. Ryan 0:36So finding a mortgage broker, if someone's you know, not in the industry, they don't have a recommendation from someone they just kind of googling mortgage broker? How can they go about kind of starting to identify who might be a good fit for them? And who might not be? Alright, Michael 0:53well, the first thing, of course, is if you've got friends or family colleagues who have at least had someone and dealt with a mortgage broker and have had a positive experience, we all know, that's probably going to be the best way. But if you're starting green, if I could put it that way, and you're just going to put it out there, then I guess you're looking for things like customer reviews, you're looking for the level of their experience, perhaps their time within the industry. Now, none of those things on its own is a guarantee, but at least it'll start pointing you in the in the right direction. Because I'm a mortgage broker needs to have I Well, I think, and I'm probably attached by us having even been in the industry for a while, but you should have some pretty good industry experience, you want to have as many of the lenders, that the sorry, you want to have access to as many lenders as you can. And you want to have Ryan 1:57does that vary significantly from mortgage broker mortgage broker, which lenders they have access to, or the most mortgage brokers have access to everyone?

And she's going to talk us through some questions you can ask, and things you can do to understand, okay, is this going to be a good property manager or not? So hey, Lauren, thanks for coming on today. Lauren 0:42Yeah, thank you, Ryan. Thanks for having me. Ryan 0:45No worries. So this is obviously a really important topic for people who have just purchased a property or maybe they've got a rental manager that they're not completely happy with. And they're thinking about shifting, how does one find a good rental manager? How can you look at the different websites and say, okay, who do I pick? How do I even know? Lauren 1:04I know. And that's that is a hard question. I think really, you know, often people ask their friends or their family, or maybe a sales agent they've dealt with, or often people will just choose the agent that they've bought through purely because they don't know where else to look. And I think it's really important to do your research online, have a look at how they're marketing properties, and also interview a couple of different agents. So I have got a list of questions that I'd suggest you

Ryan 0:32Okay, so let's just say someone's looking at investing in property, maybe they've got their deposit at the moment. Generally, I think most people would just be like, Okay, I'm just going to go to the bank and apply for a mortgage straight off the bat or speak to a mortgage broker.

It took me way too long to get around to doing this. But I'm really excited to talk to you today about your journey. So do you want to take us back, I guess, to the beginning, where did interest in property or personal finance and things like that start for you, it was, Matt 0:49it was at a very young age, my, my mum probably was the best role model for this when I was maybe 567 years old. Back then we she opened a like a Super Saver account at the local bank with, you know, for my brother and I, and maybe not, you know, on day one, but over time, she really educated us on you know, the perks of that particular savings account, and what you have to do each week to achieve, you know, your high interest rates, and that kind of stuff, which, you know, as it happened, it was depositing a certain amount of money each and every month. So what she would do is, she would give my brother and I pocket money, she'd give us $10 each week, but what she would do is she'd hand it to us say it, you know, at the school gate, and then we'd all go down to the bank. And then we deposit it without deposit book straight to the bank teller, put it into our bank account. And, you know, we got the receipt back. And we could see over time, our all of our different lines on the on the checkbook, where, you know, our money was slowly increasing over time. A

And in the last couple of years when it comes to housing finance and investment, property finance in Australia with everything that's happened with COVID-19, this year, lowering interest rates, government incentives, there's just a lot that's been going on. So today I've got with me, Michael Brown, who's a mortgage broker from mortgage brokers sydney.com.au. He's going to talk us through, you know, some of the changes that have been happening, and what the lending landscape looks like at the moment. So hey, Michael, thanks for coming on today. Michael 0:30Thank you very much, Ryan. Glad to be here. Ryan 0:32So obviously, it's been an absolutely crazy year. With everything that has happened. He really through I guess, you know, going back to I think last time I really did not date on this was when Apple was bringing in their changes. This was even prior to Royal Commission. What was it like kind of going through that period of time where lending was getting tighter and more restrictive? Michael 0:56Look, that was an incredibly frustrating time for any mortgage broker. And lending in general, particularly mortgage broking because we had our profession splashed all over the headlines, in a disproportionate manner, I would have said give to the banks, who, broadly were the real culprits, if I can put it that way at the time, and I found it very difficult. But as a general ism, everyone became so careful, and really, just just wouldn't do anything. It was such a cautious atmosphere to try and get anything done. And it was, it was very difficult. It's a bit easier now. But certainly, Ryan 1:41I kind of wanted to set up the contrast of what it's been like for the last couple of years to kind of what the landscapes like Now, obviously, COVID here, we had lock downs in Sydney, you know, around March or April, I can't even remember anymore. It's been that kind of year. But how have things changed now in the lending environment? Michael 1:59Is it easier to get lending at the moment. So if you if you walk through that period, very quickly, without trying to bore anybody, as the Royal Commission started to release findings, and you know, when pe

So today, I'm really excited to talk to Lisa Tran about just her property journey, how she got into property, some of the things that she's learned along the way. So hi, Lisa, thanks for coming on today. Lisa 0:24Hey, thanks for having me. I'm so excited. I've been watching you for so long. This is a little bit surreal. So Ryan 0:30yeah, it's also because you texted me or you commented on a YouTube thing saying I did a video and mentioned you. And I was just like, it came at just the right time, because I was like, Okay, I want to get back into talking to people who are out there just doing their thing, investing in property, creating the life that they want. And I was like, Oh, this person, I watched some of your videos. I'm like, Yeah, she she lines up, this is going to be great. So do you want to tell the people out there a bit about your property journey? Let's start, you know, way back at the beginning. When did you start becoming interesting? Interested in property? Lisa 1:06Yeah, sure. So I guess my journey is a little bit of a different one, because my interest in property came much later than when I actually purchased the first property, which seems a bit odd. Ryan 1:22So you purchase property before you actually interested in it. Lisa 1:27So when I was 23, my parents had been pretty interested in property themselves. I had a couple of properties themselves. And they're like, Lisa, you know, you got to get in on this. This is how you make money. It's not about the job. It's about, like, how much land do you have? So I was 23. I was studying pharmacy at the time, I was doing my internship. So it was a really busy year for me. So I had no interest in property whatsoever. But my mom was just like, you know, I'm gonna do all the research for you. I'm going to get out there and, you know, do the bidding for you. You just pay the mortgage. And I was like, oh, okay, sure. And I had no idea what I was committing myself to. Is this. Ryan 2:12Is this like, a parental obligation thing? Like you felt like, Oh, I have to do this because mom said it. Lisa 2:18I think sorry. But I guess like, I am also quite. I'm like the ideal child, I'd say I'm very like, yep, I'll just follow insert with what you want. As opposed to, like, verbally? Ryan 2:33Not me. I'm definitely not the ideal child. Lisa 2:36Yeah, definitely a parental pleaser, li

So today I have with me, Lauren Robinson from rental results.com.au. She's a rental manager. I've been in the industry for nearly 20 years now, and knows a lot about this stuff. And in today's episode, we're going to talk about how can we increase our rental return on our property and make sure that our properties always rented. So hey, Lauren, thanks for coming on today. Yeah, thanks Lauren 0:35for having me, Ryan. Ryan 0:36Yeah. So obviously, we want to make sure our property is rented and not vacant, because when it's vacant, we're not getting any rent rental income at all. But also, we want to maximize the rent that we can get on a property. So today, we wanted to share a few of those things. So what I guess how many of the biggest tips that you have for how to increase the rental return? Lauren 1:00Yes, I guess it really comes back to the type of property of God, but often we find, so things that are ways to differentiate your property would be say, for example, it's a two bedroom unit in a building with 50 other properties. So that's really hard to differentiate yours when they're all sort of very similar layouts, offering the same specs, and it might be a new bill. So what you can, what things that tenants would be prepared to pay more for is typically storage. So thinking about like the over the, over the bonnet of the car storage solutions, or yet or having like maybe a storage option on the balcony that's approved by the body corporate, so often units lack storage. Also, for houses, it's also understanding the type of tenant that that's that it's likely to appeal to, and then the things that they want. So typically, especially in Queensland, it's a conditioning tenants are prepared to pay more for things like dishwashers, fence yards. So we often get asked, Would attendant pay more for ceiling fans? So it really depends, but typically, if if a property was if there was a house, say a three bedroom house, and one had ceiling fans, and one didn't, attendant typically wouldn't pay more for that. But there would be a preference towards the one with the ceiling fans, whereas if it was air condition, they would possibly pay $10 a week or $15. A week more. Ryan 2:27Yeah, so there's some certain thing

Recommended Video: How Much Do You Need For a Property Deposit? Transcription If you're looking at getting into the property market, the first thing you need to do is save your deposit. And if you're anything like me, you don't want that to take an extremely long period of time, you just want to get it done as quickly as possible, invest in property and move on towards your financial freedom journey. But is it possible to save a deposit in just one year? That's what we're going to look at in today's episode. Hi, I'm Ryan from OnProperty, helping you on your journey to financial freedom. And I set the goal of saving a house deposit next year, but I don't even know if that's actually possible. And if you're in that same position where you want to save a house deposit, see how quickly you can do it, save it can be done in a year, then follow me as we work that out. And I show you how to do it yourself as well. So it's really quite simple to do you need to work out how much do I need to save, break it down into you pay cycle monthly, fortnightly weekly, how much I need to save every month or week, etc? Then ask yourself, Is that even possible? And if it is possible, great. If it's not? How much extra Do I need to make? And is that possible? And also at the end, ask yourself and assess the situation say Okay, what else do I want to do with myself next year? And does this align with what I want my year to look like? So let's go through that now starting with number one, which is work out how much you actually need to save. So I recently did a video with Simon Everingham exactly on this topic, which I will link up to down below. But the basics of it is you want to save around a 10 to 20% deposit for your property, as well as about 6% in closing costs. For me, I'm looking at a $450,000 property times by a 10% deposit, and 6%. So you hear 45 grand for a deposit as a 10%. And then around 26 or 27 grand in terms of the closing costs. So all up, you're looking at around $72,000 that would actually need to save. So you can see there, there's my pretty simple calculations. So let's round that up to 70 grand, that's how much I would need to save. Now we're to go ahead and take

How do you make sure your property gets rented.

Vacancy Rate Checker Transcription Ryan 0:00One of the biggest fears people have when looking at investing in property is how do I know if my property is going to get rented? Or if you already own a property? How do I make sure that the property doesn't stay vacant? So today, I have with me, Lauren Robertson, who is a rental manager from rental results. And we're going to talk through this and she's going to give us some insight. So you can work out whether a property is likely to be rented or if you got a property, how to get it rented. So hey, Lauren, thanks for coming on today. Yeah, thanks, Lauren 0:30Ryan. Thanks for having me. Ryan 0:31No way. So do you want to just give us a quick rundown of I guess, who you are and what you guys do? And then we'll jump into you know, how we can assess this? Lauren 0:40Yeah. Great. So yeah, I own rental results. So we're a property management specialist company. We've been around now for over seven years, and we manage over 600 properties within the inner city suburb of Brisbane. So 15, Kay's from the CBD, also been doing property management for 18 years now. And we've won quite a few national awards. So yeah, it's a long time to be in property management. But love it still love the the industry. Ryan 1:07Yeah, so let's just say you've rented a lot of properties, you've seen a lot of properties in your time, you know a lot about this space, and what makes a property likely to get rented or what makes the property more likely to stay vacant? So let's start with the investors looking to purchase a property and then we'll go on to people who already own it. But let's say people are looking at a property. They're like, okay, I might want to invest in this property, but they hadn't they don't know about the market or the area, how do they know that property is likely to be able to be rented or not? Lauren 1:40Yes, I have also written a book on this, which is rented. And it's got a website rented.com. Today, you but basically, it comes back to understanding the market. So knowing what the vacancy rates in that particular area are understanding your property. So knowing the type of tenant that that property is likely to attract and whether there's a market for that. And then also making sure the property is priced right and presenting well. So there's a number of different factors. Ryan 2:10Yeah, so va

both me and simon are on our ways to achieving financial freedom and we're going about it in very different ways to each other with me i'm focusing on online passive income growing my income streams through there getting what i call pseudo financial freedom first and simon is focusing on building up his property portfolio and he's working for someone else or working with his brother and part owner in the business over there so we thought we would share some of our best tips on how to become financially free and things that we've learned on our journey along the way so hey simon thanks for coming on and sharing today yeah yeah really excited about this one one of my favorite topics as we all know yeah both you and i have been very passionate about financial freedom i think your rich dad poor dad and those books really started it for me what about you what got you passionate about financial freedom over other investment goals the funny thing is it wasn't something that was really talked about in our family until sort of recent years so i never really knew what financial freedom was and every single person in my life was still working and nobody actually had any level of financial freedom that i was aware of um so it was only really when i started to kind of actually start taking action and start creating my plan where i realized oh financial freedom is something that we can all achieve yeah and so just so people know as we get into this each of our stories simon has purchased three investment properties in the last 18 months massive achievement congrats on that two of those being investment properties one being is own home so that's kind of his plan is i guess working in a job using that money to invest in properties and achieve financial freedom that way i've achieved what i call pseudo-financial freedom through my businesses so had businesses that kind of just worked for themselves and i didn't really have to work much i then ended up in a bunch of debt and wasn't financially free anymore and i'm pretty happy to say that i've worked myself out of that situation and i think if i stopped working today my businesses would again run themselves for multiple years and i wouldn't have to work so i'm not financially free yet but i've kind of built up that passive income stream online and then eventually i want to invest that into property as well so i've achieved it lost it and then kind of achieved it again and now i want that long term so we've both been on the journey we're not completely there yet but we've learnt a lot along the way and we want to share that and so do you want to go first simon with one of your tips for achieving financial freedom and moving towards that yeah definitely 1: Have a Clear Plan i think this is you know on both of our lists no doubt about it so maybe i can share my thoughts on um on this and then you can talk a little bit but it's having a plan and having a clear plan at that as well so that is the number one way to ach

a lot of investors especially newer investors want to purchase an investment property near where they live there's a lot of benefits to that but there's actually a lot of risks and negatives associated with that as well so if you're wondering should i buy a property near where i live or should i invest somewhere else today i want to give you some pros and some cons to help you think about it and make that decision for yourself hey i'm ryan from on property helping you on your journey to financial freedom and i remember growing up as a kid my parents wanted to invest in property and so they looked within the very suburb that we lived in so cronulla here in sydney beautiful beachside suburb they had purchased their own home in the area they were looking to buy an investment property and they ended up purchasing a unit in cronulla they owned it for a couple of years i think it was negatively geared ultimately they ended up selling the property at a loss unfortunately and didn't make any money off it now that's not to say that happens to everyone a lot of people invest near where they live and have great success but how do you know whether you should invest near your home or not what are the benefits of doing it what are the negatives of doing it and why do so many investors go to other suburbs or other cities or even interstate in order to build their investment portfolio so let's talk about that first let's talk about the pros which are probably a bit more obvious one of the benefits of investing near where you live is that you know the area and we will come back to touch on this in one of the negatives because you know the area and what it feels like you know where the good streets are you know where the housing commission is you know where the good cafes are and all that so you're familiar with the area chances are you like the area and you like living in it and other people do as well so there's a benefit there in that you know the suburb but one of the negatives which we'll come back to is just because you know the suburb from living there doesn't mean you know the data associated with that suburb and how it's going to perform in the future just because you want to live there doesn't mean that that suburb is going to grow in value into the future but you do know about it you can avoid some race because you know about the suburb itself other benefits of it that it's quite easy to inspect properties because they're very close to your home you don't have to go very far on a saturday or after work in order to inspect them and it's also possible for you to check in on your properties i think this is why a lot of people want to invest near their home so that they can check in on it actually the street that i'm in right now there there's a guy in this street who owns a house just you know one or two down there and he actually bought the house across the road so right across from me now so he he owns both and he's rented it out and he can see what's ha

Advanced Suburb Research Course Transcription: there's that saying that we've all heard the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step and when it comes to property sometimes we make it harder than it needs to be we try and understand everything there is to understand about property we're researching the market we want to know is sydney going to go up or down this month if it's gone down 0.8 we're freaking out even though we haven't saved our deposit yet you know or we only own one property and we're nowhere near financial freedom yet but sometimes we need to get back to that simple act of just taking a step and today today i want to ask you what is your next step on your property investment journey because if you just take that next step and then trust yourself that once you take that step you can ask future self can ask what's my next step from here and sometimes just one's foot in front of the other one step after another leads you towards investing in property leads you towards financial freedom faster than trying to do everything all at once so really quick video today to just ask you okay what is your next step investing in property if you're in debt and you need to pay off that debt your next step might be learning how to budget making more money paying off that debt your next step might be saving your deposit if you got your deposit ready to go your next step might be okay i need to understand market cycles and what market to pick if you've picked your market let's say you're like ben and you've picked brisbane as your market or let's say you picked perth or you picked sydney or melbourne or hobart whichever market you've picked now you might be saying okay which region of this market do i want to invest in that might be your next step or which suburb do i want to invest in for a lot of people you're ready to go you think you've got a market but you don't know what suburb to invest in so that's going to be your next step well you need to learn about suburb research and start actively researching those markets it's actually as easy as sitting down looking at the data for the suburbs and just like next step collect the data for the suburbs and as you collect it you start to see differences i've done a whole video course on how to do suburb research so if you go to on property.com.eu4 slash suburb you can learn more about that over there but even just collecting the data on suburbs you don't need to understand okay which is going to be the best hotspot you just need to go in and look at the vacancy rates of every single suburb in that region that you're looking at compare the dsr scores compare the incomes for that area compare the sales prices and the growth over the last 12 months three years five years 10 years start collecting that data and as you collect it things star

And we need to know how to invest during those troubled times. So today, I'm going to read through an article from Michael yard news website, property update.com.au. On the property investment rules to keep in mind in troubled times, we're going to go through this article talk about some of the things that they say, I'll comment on it, we'll discuss it together. And we'll try and learn together, I did a previous one of these, talking about the 15 habits of self made millionaires. I really enjoyed it. I learned a lot from it. And I know a bunch of you did, as well. So let's go through this. Let's learn together. And let's work out okay, what are these property investment rules to keep in mind during the troubled times, okay, so they start by saying that everyone seems like an investment genius, when the property markets are booming. But when times gets tough, it's important to really know what you're doing. I saw an example, I heard an example of this, I think it's in the book, great by choice by Jim Collins. It is in the book, it's one of my favorite books of all time. And he talks about this idea of companies that succeeding in troubled times. And he uses this metaphor of if you have just a regular person going for a hike versus someone who is a world class hiker, adventurer, mountain climber survivalist on the same hike. But let's say that it's an extremely pleasant, sunny day, no issues anything like that, would you notice the difference between the two, you might notice a bit of a difference between the gear or the way they hold themselves when they walk or their fitness level. But really, they're both going to look like great hikers. But wh

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUFMxCxMV4k In my previous episode I talked about how to stop rushing to be financially free but to make the life we want now. But how do we start to work out what is actually going to give you a happier and more fulfilled life. 0:00 - Introduction2:45 - Ask yourself this question6:30 - What is my answer to this question? Recommended Videos: Don't Rush Financial Freedom - Do This Instead Transcription: Ryan 0:00In my previous episode, I talked about how we need to stop rushing to be financially free house, often we see financial freedom as a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow that is going to deliver us happiness. And yes, it gives you choices. And it gives you time to pursue the things that will make you happy, financial freedom is great. But we can actually pursue our happiness and pursue a more satisfied and more fulfilled life, with or without financial freedom. And so in today's episode, I wanted to actually get yourself asking a question to find out, okay, what is actually going to make me happier, because so often when we're in the thick of it, when we're struggling to pay our bills, where we've got mortgages or rent, to pay mouths to feed, all of that good stuff that goes into making life awesome. But when we're in the thick of it, doing the day to day grind of our job, and the stress and everything that comes with that, it can be really hard to actually get out of our own heads and get out of our own lives and think what actually would make me happy, because to be honest, I kind of just worked for financial freedom up until I was 28. And I got my pseudo financial freedom. I didn't actually think, Okay, what do I want to do with my life? What do I want to do when I'm financially free? What will make me happy? I was just like, financial freedom is my goal. I need to strive to that. And I think even if I tried to stop and think, Okay, what will I want to do? I didn't really know. And so often, the things that come up are those big things, those, okay, you're going to live this travel lifestyle, you're going to live in a mansion, you're going to drive this really expensive car, all of that sort of stuff. But I think for most of us, if we really stop and think about it, we know that that stuff's not going to make us happy. We know that that's not going to make us fulfilled in life. Yet, it would be nice to have both do we need it in order to live a happy and fulfilled life? No, most of us don't. And for me, the idea of having a mansion just means more cleaning, or just means I need to hire a cleaner to keep it clean. And just the big space, it would be cold. And you know, I'd be so far from my children, I feel like we would interact less. So it's not something that I would like. So today, I feel like the answer to our question of Okay, what's going to make us happy? We're not trying to find the answer to that. We're trying to find better questions that are going to lead us to a better understanding of oursel

We'll talk about them as we go through. And then hopefully, we can learn something together, I will link up to this article in the description down below. This is a great website that has a lot of cool stuff on it. I've had a bunch of financial habits that have changed in my life over the last year going from near bankruptcy, to paying off more than $20,000 worth of debt, and setting myself up with about four or five months worth of buffer financially. If I donate any money, then I can survive for that long. So completely transformed myself over the last 12 months. But it's learning things like this and creating these little daily habits, that makes such a huge difference over the long term. In in a year from today, I want to be so much better off, I want to have all my debt paid off, I want to be saving my deposit, I want my business to be in a really good place. So it's always really good to learn. So here's 15 habits, we're not going to read through the whole article, because as you can see, it's quite long. But we're going to touch on some of the habits here and talk about it. So the first one, which is really interesting is that rich people do work that they love. This is something I've been talking about more and more. And it's getting rid of this idea that financial freedom is so we can retire early, we should be living a life that we love right now. And financial freedom just gives us the insurance policy gives us the security that w

And there's some real key financial practices that I've been doing that have really helped me along this transformation. So 12 months ago, I was looking down the barrel of a potential bankruptcy thinking, I don't actually have enough money to pay the bills that I need to pay. I remember having a freakout moment, I was either in June or July of 2019, being like, I don't know what to do. Luckily, I had some income coming in, I was able to delay some payments didn't have to go through bankruptcy. But in the last 12 months, I've been able to pay off $22,000 worth of debt, and actually build up a four to five month buffer fund for myself as well. So I actually have enough money to get me through the next four or five months. So very drastic situation to Okay, I don't know how to pay these bills tomorrow. And I may go bankrupt too. Now, I paid off a bunch of debt. And I've got this buffer fund. And I'm looking like I'm in a position where I if things go really well, which looked they probably won't go as well as I'd hoped I could potentially pay off my debt by the end of the year, but probably take a little bit longer than that. So big transformation in the last 12 months. And there's some key financial things that I've been doing that have helped me along that transformation. So today, as I sit in the van, and as I have a morning coffee, I want to share that with you. Before I do, let me just show you what I've been up to. And I did a video a little while back and the van was a complete mess. And you can see that now I've kind of really set it up the bed is made, I've got my standing desk here. So I can just kind of stand and work on my laptop here. Or I can actually pull up my esci with a seat on it and actually hang out on that the battery for the van is charging at the moment, it's been dead for a while. So it should be good to drive around. And I should be able to actually work on the beach in here very soon. So I'm very excited about that. So you may see me filming on location pretty soon. But I want to share these financial things with you. And there's seven of them. The first one, and I think it's the most important and it's made the biggest change. And that's actually earn more money

What It Felt Life For Me What It Feels Like To Be Financially Free Transcription: Ryan 0:00usually on this channel we talk about property investing personal finance achieving financial freedom all that good sort of stuff but in this episode i want to do something different and start to explore the concept of actually living a conscious life and living a life that makes you fully content and fully happy and the reason that i want to explore this in more detail is that i achieved financial freedom at the age of 28 or what i call pseudo financial freedom my businesses were earning enough money without me working that i didn't need to work and so i spent probably about two years from 28 to 30 where i hardly worked at all and i was not rich in terms of the fact of i had a private jet and fancy cars not i did not have a fancy car at all but i did have a decent house i lived one straight back from the beach you could walk to the beach didn't have to work so drive the kids to school then we'd go out for coffee and go to the beach and just kind of spend my days doing that do a bit of work when i felt like it and felt inspired to or when ben would call me up and say ryan we need to record some stuff i'd be like okay so i achieved that at 28 and i realized that financial freedom doesn't make you happy and that was a big shock to me and a big shock to my system because for my life i had been pursuing this goal of financial freedom and while i didn't consciously think okay financial freedom dang i'm going to be happy i think in the back in my mind or subconsciously that's what i believed because when i achieved financial freedom and i wasn't happy i was i was quite shocked about that and so for two years i explored a bunch of different things i hardly worked and explored okay what can make me happy what can make me feel fulfilled and tried a bunch of different things and eventually at least reached a place where i wasn't depressed anymore i have suffered with depression anxiety eating disorders throughout my life and so i was so grateful for that time to reach a place where i'm like okay i kind of have an idea of how to manage my mental illness and not feel depressed anymore or not feel like i have an eating disorder anymore and so i've got to that so that was good but now i'm not financially free anymore i ended up getting myself into a bunch of debt went through a separation business went through a downturn at the same time so expenses jacked up income dropped dramatically built u
