Australia’s property market is being reshaped by a new wave of demand. From migration-driven growth corridors to changing rental markets and shifting investor strategies, these are the trends investors cannot afford to ignore.On the Property Investing Insights podcast, Phil Tarrant is joined by Victor and Reshmi Kumar to discuss how migration, demographics, and changing buyer behaviour are influencing where demand is building across Australia.The trio share their observations about migration from India, the suburbs seeing increased demand, and why understanding population shifts could help investors identify future opportunities.They also examine the current market reset, including interest rates, softer conditions, the shift towards cash flow-focused strategies and the changing role of buyer’s agents in helping investors navigate a more complex environment.With the boom-time playbook no longer applying, the trio reveals why data, demographics, and suburb fundamentals are becoming critical for investors looking to stay ahead.
This week on Property Investing Insights, Victor sits down with financial planner Matthew Ingram to explore how financial planning fits alongside property investing to build long-term wealth. Together they discuss why wealth creation is about more than buying assets, covering diversification, risk management, insurance, superannuation and planning for retirement. The biggest takeaway is that building wealth is only half the journey. Having a clear plan to protect it, structure it and eventually live off it is what creates long-term wealth.
Most investors see market uncertainty and hit pause, but history shows the biggest opportunities are often created in exactly these kinds of headline-driven cycles: when fear is high and clarity is low.On the Property Investing Insights podcast, Phil Tarrant sits down with Victor and Reshmi Kumar from Right Property Group to cut through the noise and discuss why today’s uncertainty could be setting up the next phase of market growth.The trio argues that while higher interest rates, proposed tax changes, and shifting sentiment have sidelined many investors, much of the panic is being driven by policies that are not yet law.Rather than retreating, Victor and Reshmi urge investors to focus on fundamentals: reassessing borrowing capacity, portfolios, and long-term strategy instead of reacting to headlines.The discussion also explores a shift in behaviour, with investors moving away from scale and toward smaller, higher-quality portfolios built for long-term performance.Attention then turns to opportunities emerging across NSW, Queensland, South Australia, and Western Australia, where conditions are starting to shift beneath the surface.

Most property investors are panicking over tax changes, but the real shock could come when borrowing power starts collapsing faster than expected.On Property Investing Insights, hosts Phil Tarrant and Victor Kumar from Right Property Group break down the growing fallout from the federal budget and why investors may need to rethink strategy, structure, and portfolio planning.Kumar warns that while negative gearing changes have dominated headlines, the real pressure point could come from reduced lending capacity, with some banks already adjusting calculators and slashing borrowing power dramatically.The episode explores how investors may need to adapt by reassessing portfolio structure, improving cash flow, and diversifying across different property types as the market adjusts to potential policy shifts.Kumar also cautions against panic-driven decisions, arguing that strong portfolios are built on long-term fundamentals, not short-term political noise or speculation.The duo also discusses how the changing landscape could reshape the buyer’s agent sector, with increased pressure likely separating experienced operators from opportunistic entrants.

Welcome back to another episode of Investing Insights with Right Property Group. Today, we've got Steve Waters and Victor Kumar talking about the latest insights and analysis on the Australian property market so grab your coffee and get ready to tune in.The Australian property market has been experiencing high demand due to high-interest rates, high rental returns, and limited supply. As a result, property prices have skyrocketed, making it more affordable to own a property than to rent in some areas.

Is the property market poised for a rebound? While there’s no foolproof way to determine whether the market has bottomed out, these experts help investors filter out the data that will help investors chart a strategic path out of the downturn. In this episode of Investing Insights with Right Property Group, Phil Tarrant, Steve Waters and Victor Kumar unpack the three telltale signs that the market is on its way to restarting the property cycle.While the negative narrative surrounding the Reserve Bank’s rate rise cycle has not dissipated and with other economic trends clouding the market outlook in the coming months, the trio gave their realistic takes on why they believe there are still investment opportunities across the market. The experts also explained why investors should not solely rely on data or headlines before taking the jump to enter the market.
In this episode of the Investing Insights podcast, Steve Waters and Victor Kumar from Right Property Group share their insights on navigating the Australian property market during times of economic uncertainty. Here are the key takeaways:1. Take assertive action during times of market uncertainty and avoid reacting out of fear.2. Manage debt, cash flow, and maintain buffers to weather challenging periods in the market.3. Property tax reform is needed to provide stability in the market and reduce reliance on stamp duty revenue.4. Good cash flow management is essential in property investment, and focus on buying good properties that can be offloaded if necessary.5. The government needs to provide incentives to encourage first-time owners and investors to enter the property market. Steve and Victor believe that investors should be proactive during uncertain times, rather than reacting out of fear. They caution against knee-jerk reactions and poor information that often lead to significant losses. They discussed the effects of free flowing credit, which led to a booming economy, and the need for an extended-term property tax to replace upfront costs. They also expressed concerns about the end of fixed interest rates on 800,000 loans, which could increase the amount of repayments. They also emphasised the importance of managing cash flow and remaining liquid in terms of mortgages. They suggested that investors focus on buying good properties for offloading to homeowners or investors in case things do not go as planned. They also highlighted the need for government intervention and incentivisation to address the construction industry struggle. Navigating the uncertainty in the Australian property market requires a planned approach, worst-case scenario planning, and taking a defensive approach when accumulating debt. As the property market cycles through its growth patterns, it is crucial to remain liquid, have buffers in place, and always be in a situation where you can sleep at night. Investors should focus on buying good properties and be part of the wealth transfer process during times of negative sentiment and economic hardship. By setting the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle together for the future, people can reap the benefits of what they do during this period in the following years as the cycle turns.Watch the full episode now to gain the knowledge you need to make informed investment decisions and succeed in the ever-changing property market.

With the market’s tempo changing at a faster pace than previous cycles, how can investors keep up and ensure they’re set up for big wins?
In this episode of Investing Insights with Right Property Group, Phil Tarrant, Steve Waters and Victor Kumar analyse how market conditions have changed in the face of rate hikes and shifting trends and look into how the increased accessibility to data and information has changed the cadence of property market cycles.
Instead of getting swept up by speculations of an upcoming market crash at par with that during the global financial crisis, the experts called on investors to consume content that will help them better understand their current market position and explain why the market fundamentals are still ripe with investment opportunities.
They also try to answer the million-dollar question of when the next property boom will occur and unpack why it may happen sooner than most market observers forecast.

Should investors focus on timing the market or time on the market? When it comes to this age-old question, these experts say that the optimal buying and selling windows will depend on an investor’s unique circumstances.
In this episode of Investing Insights with Right Property Group, Phil Tarrant, Steve Waters and Victor Kumar unpack property market cycles and why investors should stop viewing it as a clockwork process with specific phases, but rather focus on the different trends and events that drive the market’s movement.
The trio also emphasise that no strategy is “set in stone” and explain that remaining invested over the long run or trying to profit from turning points in the market will work in favour of an investor, as long as their strategy aligns with their long-term goals, financial position and portfolio.
Lastly, the experts underline that good fundamentals will continue to be the tried-and-tested formula to having a successful real estate investment, no matter where the property market cycle is currently at.
In Episode 63 of the Investing Insights podcast, Victor Kumar and Steve Waters from Right Property Group have a detailed discussion on a wide range of topics including the pulse of the market, agent mechanics of listing a property in today's market, and insights into finance.
The question most people tend to ask is, “Is now the right time to get into the property market?”. For each person, this will be a different answer depending on your own set of circumstances—It's not a clear answer. Investing is about timing the market in terms of YOUR set of circumstances. Eg Two years ago you couldn’t borrow due to thresholds and today you can. So potentially it is your time.
It all comes down to being business orientated. Far too many people think the hardest part is purchasing. Actually, it is the reverse. It’s how you control the purchases and manage the years ahead of holding the asset.
Buying within your own means. Buying on what YOU are trying to achieve by purchasing towards a plan. At times like this, you can re-arrange your portfolio - if they are no longer fitting and doing what they need to do.
Before you jump into selling, consideration of the associated costs needs to be worked through. E.g .transactional costs as well as replacing the rental income.
When it comes to finance rates will go up. It's the reality that they won't remain the way it is. The golden rule of asking a bank is "are you cross securitised?". There is a time and place, however, it is well worth the while checking in with a broker experienced in structuring investment property loans.
Like we have said many times before, remember you ALWAYS want to be liquid. When you can borrow you should, you don’t need to spend it. Have the money before you need it. The key to investing is to be prepared for the opportunity rather than the other way around, where you then need to shortcut the process. Never ever forgo the pest and building, for example. Have your team around you when entering the buying process - Property strategist, Broker, Accountant, & Conveyancer.

In episode 90 of the Investing Insights Podcast, Steve and Victor discuss the 5 mistakes an everyday investor is either currently making or going to make in today’s market.

How much is your complacency costing you? These experts recommend scheduling a “date night” with your portfolio to make sure it’s on track.
In this episode of Investing Insights with Right Property Group, Phil Tarrant, Steve Waters and Victor Kumar enumerate the risks that investors face by neglecting to update their portfolios and underline the importance of capitalising on opportunities, regardless of what phase of the market cycle you are currently operating in.
The trio explain that investors should not bury their heads in the sand when the going gets tough, as it will not only hurt their current financial position but their long-term growth strategies as well.
They emphasise that the property ecosystem is always changing and give out tips on how investors can actively manage their portfolios.
In the face of changing market conditions, how agile is your property portfolio?
In this episode of Investing Insights with Right Property Group, Phil Tarrant, Steve Waters and Victor Kumar unpack the latest news shaking up the market – including stamp duty reforms, the rising cost of living and the rental accommodation crisis – and give their insights on the consequential changes it will bring on property investing landscape.
The trio also explains that those who have buffered their portfolios for major fluxes are those who will rise above the pack, while discussing how impostor investors or those who constantly followed the herd and built fragile portfolios will inevitably become a statistic in these rougher market waters.
They discuss how investors can fine-tune their portfolios to become agile and lean, enumerate the questions investors should be asking themselves under current market conditions, and underline that any market downturn can be a golden opportunity if you’re armed with the right mindset and strategy.
For over 15 years, Steve Waters and Victor Kumar have experienced the ups, downs, the ins, and outs of many property cycles. As rates are once again on their way up, it could be easy to retreat without considering the potential opportunities that the current cycle offers.
In episode 86 of the Investing Insights Podcast, Steve and Victor discuss how some elements of the market have over-performed well and truly and that is not healthy. Contractions in the market may well happen. This is cyclical and people need to realise that this is just another season. As cycles change, new opportunities arise and these may be disguised as wrapped up in problems! It is a matter of understanding how to unwrap the layers to solve the problem. Over the next 12-18 months there will be several types of opportunities to look out for - be aware though that not all investors' circumstances are suited to what will be available and therefore will be best to sit out.
In this phase of the cycle, those who are prepared will come out shining in the end, and those who are not can easily be bitten by the changes - the good news is, it isn’t too late to do your groundwork and prepare. This includes knowing your costs to operate from your household expenses to your investments.
A key point that Steve and Victor mention in most episodes is the importance of addressing the fundamentals understanding that investing is all about the medium to long term. There is no magic formula- if you are not prepared, DON'T do anything! The best tip of all is trying to time the market is a fool's game.
Tune in to learn more about the wrapped-up opportunities and how to unwrap them to your best advantage.

“Everything is cyclical” in the Australian property market, so how do you navigate this time of increased uncertainty?
In this episode of Investing Insights with Right Property Group, Phil Tarrant, Steve Waters and Victor Kumar analyse and discuss the big housing issues currently facing the Australian market, especially considering the recent federal election.
Affordability is one of the pressing problems facing the Australian real estate industry, and the trio break down what affordability truly means on their way to discussing the crisis and offering potential solutions to it. Additionally, the trio stress the importance of having a strategic, methodical, and self-assessing approach towards the uncertainty of Australia’s current property cycle.
They also highlight the complex factors driving Australia’s current property shortage, examine the impact of economic cycles on the market and predict how the current cycle pans out.
Are you PREPARED as we enter this cycle? With the immense changes happening on the property front at the moment, gear up against these market factors by being aware of the current conditions, and understanding what you need to do as both a current property investor and a new investor.
In this podcast, Steve Waters and Victor Kumar Directors at Right Property Group talk about the trillion-dollar question - INTEREST RATES and the impact both today and in the future. The finance cycle has changed, and they talk about how it's affected parts of the market, the impact on consumer mindset, and the pieces in and around it to shape consumer confidence.
Steve and Victor make mention of the all too familiar doom and gloom media articles and caution to not take these headlines as fact when it comes to your property investing strategy. Rather dig further into the information and conduct your own research and due diligence.
As we go through this episode, Steve and Victor will dissect some common questions, including:
What will the market do? What should I do? What will increasing interest rates do to my property portfolio? Should I be buying now? Should I be waiting? Or should I take any action at all?
And the answer to that is it DEPENDS!
Each individual has their own unique circumstances. It is important to understand not only the market but your circumstances and capabilities to strengthen your property game. This is especially relevant with the current accommodation crisis and market we have today.
NOW is the perfect time for you to build and prepare yourself as an investor, and gather advice from Steve and Victor, experts who have seen many market cycles in the past to guide you through your property investing journey.
It’s about “the now”.

While headlines are filled with narratives of the property boom now in the rearview mirror, investors are advised not to listen to the Chicken Littles proclaiming that the real estate market is in freefall mode without accurate justification.
In this episode of Investing Insights with Right Property Group, Steve Waters, Victor Kumar and Phil Tarrant put a magnifying glass on the negative forecasts for the property market and give their insights as to why the prospects are not all doom and gloom for investors.
As investors brace for several headwinds, including higher interest rates, potential property policy changes in the wake of the election, and other changes in the fundamental dynamics, the trio gives their best tips on how to prepare for shifts in the market.
They also emphasise that there is no wrong time to enter the market and that true “investors” will not just chase market highs but seize opportunities for growth.
In this episode, Steve Waters & Victor Kumar talk about “burying your head in the sand”, a behaviour of many people regardless of what the issue may be. Life gets hard, curveballs are thrown, you make a poor choice, etc. Pretending whatever isn't happening, aka burying your head in the sand, will not solve it, and usually makes the situation worse. Life will give you lemons and how you receive and respond to those lemons will impact you, in either a positive or negative way.
It is of greater benefit to be proactive rather than reactive. Easy to say when the media share it's all doom and gloom! However, sometimes these headlines can be misleading, so it is important before forming an opinion to read and digest the data carefully.
Truth be told, most people tend not to worry about tomorrow, instead, living for now and bury their heads in the sand about the future. Nobody knows what’s going to happen. However, the key is to be aware of the narrative and prepare accordingly.
So let's talk about the elephant in the room which is rising interest rates? Most new investors have yet to see an interest rate rise in the past 10 years, rather they are accustomed to rate reductions! Steve and Victor have been through a run of 7 months of rate increases in the past, so know only too well how to get prepared for the upcoming rise or indeed rises.
Realistically, we have a 2-3 month window to prepare. Being proactive means spending the next 4-6 weeks preparing to give yourself the box seat, that is, protect what you have and take up the opportunities as they arise. Note that if you fail to be proactive, you will be left behind.
Be involved in the monitoring and measuring and get clear on what you need to do. By doing the work well ahead of time, you will save yourself much grief. These include looking at how car leases/loans affect your serviceability, reviewing fixed rate expiry dates, and the impact on cash flow moving to variable P & I for example.
Victor and Steve regularly say, invest between the flags by being proactive and applying strategic and methodical steps to move forward. As an investor, do background checks yourself for what the future holds because you can’t always control the situation, but you can control your attitude towards it.
And there’s no better time to understand this than now.

The trio provide practical tips on how investors can position themselves for success in the coming year by avoiding potential pitfalls, being smart about their financing and adapting their investing strategies to keep up with the fast-changing property investment landscape.
They also give their fearless forecasts about how 2022 will play out.
In this Episode, Victor Kumar and Steve Waters from Right Property Group discuss the major (and the not so obvious) factors that are shaping 2022.
History once again repeats itself and we’ve seen this cycle many times before and have seen the obvious — liquidity factors, moratorium, custom money decreasing, loosening of credit policy, job security, rent increasing in some areas, government grants, and more. All these components, coming together then and now, will play a part in where you are today and in the coming years.
Technology is one of the major factors that will continue to affect 2022. With everything digital, it has introduced us to a more streamlined, timely, and cost-efficient process. Now we are far more diligent, effective, and educated. Another scenario we are looking at is the shift of wealth for people who speculated and aggressively jumped into the market and want to go back to their usual lifestyle may cause revenge spending and debts that will surely affect the market.
Along with these factors discussed were construction paused because of higher cost, international borders scheduled to open up, credit policy tightened, and borrowing and purchasing capacity, to name a few.
As the year ends, real question is, “is your portfolio fragile or on a solid foundation?”.
Now is a great time to reshape your mindset and process on where you want to be in the next years.
Tune in to know more about these factors you should look into and be aware of to pivot your strategy for 2022 on this podcast.

In this Episode 72 of the Investing Insights podcast, Victor Kumar and Steve Waters from Right Property Group uncover the truth about data and how this could affect you as an investor.
Data is a surviving factor when investing in property, but there could be danger in relying solely on data. If you think data never lies, then you haven’t seen it all.
Data is fundamental in investing between the flags, but also routine checks, ground truth, cash flow management, and many more factors that contribute to successful property investing.
We live in a world where news is everywhere and today, with the APRA changes, inflation rising, and with the market reacting to the media, data can be misunderstood. Headlines may contain property prices soaring, but this could actually mean growth and be an opportunity for you to take advantage.
Successful property investing is making sure you are always in control of the cash flow, have enough liquidity, and have the ability to pivot your strategy within the moving market and your own circumstance.
Learn more about how to invest between the flags on this podcast.

As property markets continue their post-pandemic boom, investors are being urged to look at each property’s fundamentals instead of listening to overall market myths.
In this episode, hosts Phil Tarrant, Steve Waters and Victor Kumar break down some of the biggest myths in property – from “all property grows at the same pace” to “valuations always lag sale prices”.
The trio also discuss how today’s results don’t necessarily set up an investor long-term, whether or not bargains are still available in a hot market, and whether investors should target yield or growth in today’s property cycle.
In Episode 66 of the Investing Insights podcast, Victor Kumar and Steve Waters from Right Property Group unpack five investor profiles. The evolution of a successful investor is about identifying your investor profile. Victor and Steve have for many years referenced the four investor profiles and most recently have added a fifth.
-
The collector loves ownership, wants to buys something. Just wants to be an investor. We see a lot of them in this market. Generally not strategic as they get caught up in brag rights and number of doors they have and mistake action with results. On the upside buying one is better than doing nothing!
-
The Observer loves the idea of investing but does nothing as there is always a reason for not doing something which is usually wrapped around fear? FOMO in reverse – shoulda, woulda coulda…… The observer spends endless hours poring over analysis and opinion, discussing statistics and rationalising their choices. They will set up an extraordinary number of ‘watch lists’ on their favourite property portal, and examine the results forevermore. The key failing is they get caught in the endless loop of analysis and are eventually paralysed into inaction. The right time is always now! To get to the profits, end goal you have to be IN the market to begin with.
-
The speculator loves to brag and accumulate front doors, quick wins, and rolls the dice. They are lovers of action and the thrill of the chase. Most that speculate tend to only look at the positive side rather than looking at the finer details and what could go wrong. Any investment class has a form of speculation around it . Everyone has been a speculator in some capacity. Being a speculator sounds like a heap of fun, because they operate with almost no perception of risk, making big decisions on the fly. Who isn’t thrilled by the adrenaline rush of quick wins? The speculator is on the constant hunt for opportunities to purchase and profit. Driven by the desire for fast gains, they’ll forego sensible due diligence and, instead, try to outwit the market. The speculator’s view is entirely short-term – they love the action – but speculation without information is a risky game in property. And the downsides can be extremely costly.
- The investor is the most sophisticated of the four types. This is what you want to be, or at least, where you’ll want to end up. The investor loves opportunity and is prepared to take advantage. The investor has their finance at the ready and research on hand. They’re aware of what’s needed for their portfolio to thrive in the long run. As the investor the strategy that you deploy is always pivoting slightly. There is always something that will come up where adjustments need to be made. Controlling the now.
- The resentful investor almost always comes out when things don’t go their way. They let go of all commonsense. They focus on nothing but growth. Because everything is humming along so I can afford all of this but then the rate of growth slows, rates increases and the lack of CF becomes very apparent. Resentment then sets in. At this time of the cycle they don’t exist but come the next 3-5 years they will crop up as commonplace.
All profiles lead to the resentful investor if you aren’t well considered and stay the course. To prevent the resentful investor coming out, Right Property Group clients have regular portfolio reviews by Victor and Steve - guidance and clarity in keep your finger on the pulse and are seen as an important element to controlling your portfolio.

As property markets continue to boom post-pandemic, investors are being urged to stick with the fundamentals that underpin good buying decisions instead of letting ego and greed take over.
In this episode, hosts Phil Tarrant, Steve Waters and Victor Kumar discuss the notion of control in property investing, challenging the fallacy of the one-in-a-hundred-year natural weather event and why investors should focus on both growth and cash flow to increase their chances of success.
The trio also talk about taking an educated approach to investing, why investors currently think they are bulletproof, how it’s easy to gain wealth but hard to maintain it, and why the current friendly market fundamentals are set to fade over time.
As the property market goes from strength to strength, with low rates, FOMO and undersupply creating a seller’s market, active investors need to get creative in order to maximise value.
In this episode, hosts Phil Tarrant, Steve Waters and Victor Kumar discuss the tactics to building a truly smart property investment portfolio and whether those same tactics used after the GFC are still relevant today.
The trio explore the concept of ‘market value’, how to add value to a property that investors have paid top dollar for, and whether property investors can continue to negotiate with sellers in a rising market.
In Episode 63 of the Investing Insights podcast, Victor Kumar and Steve Waters from Right Property Group have a detailed discussion on a wide range of topics including the pulse of the market, agent mechanics of listing a property in todays market and insights into finance.
The question most people tend to ask is “Is now the right time to get into the property market?”. For each person this will be a different answer as depending on your own set of circumstances – Its not a clear answer. Investing is about timing the market in terms of YOUR set of circumstances. Eg Two years ago you couldn’t borrow due to thresholds and today you can. So potentially it is your time. It all comes down to being business orientated. Far too many people think the hardest part is purchasing. Actually it the reverse. It’s the how you control the purchases and manage the years ahead of holding the asset. Buying within your own means. Buying on what YOU are trying to achieve by purchasing towards a plan. At times like this you can re arrange your portfolio – if they are no longer fitting and doing what they need to do. Before you jump into selling, consideration of the associated costs need to be worked through. E.g .transactional costs as well as replacing the rental income. When it comes to finance rates will go up. It's reality that they won't remain the way it is. The golden rule of asking a bank is "are you cross securitised ?". There is a time and place however its is well worth the while checking in with a broker experienced in structuring investment property loans. Like we have said many times before remember you ALWAYS want to be liquid. When you can borrow you should, you don’t need to spend it. Have the money before you need it. The key to investing is to be prepared for the opportunity rather than the other way round where you then need to shortcut the process. Never ever forgo the pest and building for example. Have your team around you when entering the buying process - Property strategist, Broker, Accountant & Conveyancer.

In Episode 61 of the Investing Insights podcast, our hosts Victor Kumar and Steve Waters from Right Property Group along with special guest Sze Chuah from MLS Finance discuss the five absolute finance musts to protect and enhance your borrowing capacity :
7.30 - Welcome to special guest Sze Chuah, MLS Finance. 8.30 - Changeover from responsible lending to responsible borrowing and what specific changes are looking to be made. 9.50 - Buyer confidence is high, preapprovals are high so longer application times. 12.09 - Many investors are deemed complex so they go to a separate queue as opposed to a first home owner. 13.44- Every finance application is in effect a business proposal. 16.35 - Really important to understand the type of finance you are getting . By working in with property partners you can get a better outcome. E.g. having the insights of the lenders and close collaboration is more so today in this market. 18.20 - Product Selection – don’t be soley rate orientated. The best rate isn’t necessarily the best for you and your portfolio. Rates are important though as they drive serviceability and repayments. 20.25 - People are under the impression that if they have equity they can uses it. No longer is it a foregone conclusion. Post APRA and Royal Commission lenders are scrutinizing the purpose for the equity releases. 21.05 More solution base lending. Many more considerations other than the rate. 22.07 - Offset – a super handy facility. A bank account linked to the home loan with a balance that reduces your interest. Instead of putting money in a high interest account you are saving what the interest rate is that your are paying. One of the best products in the finance eco system. Gives us the ability to dump money in and to be liquid. 27.48 – Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) – 88% plus LMI sweet spot. 29.47 – reducing NON-DEDUCTIBLE DEBT. Minimizing credit cards, car loans, car leases etc as this affects serviceability. Investment debt is calculated more favourably. 32.20 Control the cash flow control the opportunity 33.01 a 60k car lease looking at about $1500per month approx taking around 300-400k of a mortgage – buy the car or buy a property. There are other options to car leases to maximise your borrowing capacity. You need to be tactical and methodical, what steps are you going to take today to enable to be in x position tomorrow. 37.36 REPAYMENT STRUCTURE from a property perspective with intent of a potential reno and flip needs to weigh up heavily with cash flow plan of the property must be considered – equity harvest etc, 39.56 Fixed / variable/ IO/ PI comes down to the plan for the property and also the banks policy / rues on for example harvesting equity 40.35 EQUITY HARVESTING and how it can benefit. Banks are deprioritizing those wishing to extract equity. Its about creating buffers and mitigation for the future. You have the money before you need it. Liquidity is such an essential part of any investment platform. Being ready, being opportunistic. Protecting your position 46.40 INCOME – Disposable income. Some lenders are good some not so good at different types of income eg with commissions. Brokers will understand the lenders products and policies and match what you are trying to achieve. Income is also about expenditure. Expenditure is the easiest way to increase income. Review of rents, adjust interest rates and the combination may allow for increased borrowing capacity. 52.59 LENDER SELECTION –ties everything together. The right lender will give you the element of all of the above right product for right rates.

The Right Property Group directors are back for the second instalment of “Design your decade”, this time focusing on years five through 10 of one’s property investment journey.
Steve Waters and Victor Kumar join host Phil Tarrant in this episode of Investing Insights with Right Property Group to outline the fundamental shifts that occur in the second half of the decade, and the notion of a static 10-year plan and a rolling 10-year plan running in parallel.
Victor, Steve and Phil talk about the importance of consistently reviewing one’s portfolio, the major milestone that should occur around the 10-year mark, and the dangers of chasing the latest strategic fads.
Most property investors lack an overall strategy. The most common misconception is that you should buy as much property as you can and it will eventually work out.
Victor Kumar & Steve Waters from Right Property Group strongly advocate that creating a balanced portfolio, combining both growth and cash flow is GOLD. It's imperative that you balance both ends of the equation to get to the result and don't become impatient.
They will take a deep dive into ensuring you don't confuse action with results. Action needs to be deliberate and sometimes the best action to take is no action: waiting it out, letting your portfolio consolidate, and letting the cash flow settle down to get through the initial flurry of expenditure will allow you to look at the impact on the portfolio, the impact on your borrowing capacity and ensuring that this step is getting you closer to the end goal.

What differentiates someone who dabbles in property from those who build self-sustaining multi-property portfolios? Is it what they do – or is it what they DON’T do?
