More people than houses

I’m often talking about supply and demand in relation to property investment.

The key to successful investment is to have more demand than there is supply.  That way your property will maintain high rental occupancy and the value will hold or increase.

The linked article in SMH discusses the government rolling out initiatives designed to alleviate Sydney’s home shortage.  Competition for rental properties is pushing up rents and driving buyers back into the market.  Read more

All the indicators are there – so call me if you want to make the most of market conditions.  We’d love to help!

Letter from Jason – October 2011

Jason Snaddon, Love Property, Financial AbundanceWe are drawing to the end of the year which is a busy time for us as many of our clients who set the intention to invest in a property this year realise they haven’t made it happen yet.

Was this your intention?  Have you made it happen?  We’d love to help and have many exciting projects available!

I’ve had a couple of trips to Brisbane recently and am amazed at the level of infrastructure, activity and energy that is present in the city.  It’s become vibrant again and you would never realise that it had major floods at the beginning of the year.

The BIS Housing Outlook for Australia 2011-2014 has just been released with some really positive forecasts.  Despite the volatility in the global economy they are cautiously optimistic about the outlook for the Australian housing market.

The report is forecasting low price growth in Melbourne of 6%; moderate price growth of between 6% and 8% in Adelaide, Hobart and Canberra; solid price growth of 16% in Brisbane and 17% in Darwin; and strong price growth of around 19-20% in Perth and Sydney.

The findings from this report state that “Australia is well paced to deal with any uncertainty that our economy or housing market faces in the next few years.”

That’s just the news we were looking for!

Happy investing! Call us if we can help.

Letter from Jason – September 2011

Jason Snaddon, Love Property, Financial AbundanceHow are you feeling with all this negative media? Do you know that I have stopped watching the news. I’m over it!

I’ve realised that the news I need comes to me in the form of research, the research that comes through my research partners, that’s the research we follow.  Not this constant negative media barrage the creates fear which in turn creates more fear so essentailally we have a general population that is paralysed.

What do you think the multi millionaires and billionaires are doing?

They are buying up, they are investing! Huge opportunities are out there!

We must get back to basics on property investment, it simply comes down to supply and demand.

In the nine years that I’ve been helping clients invest in property as well as help them build portfolios, we have been through many cycles, we’ve seen and read all the negative media before.  The thing to remember is that property performs based on the amount of supply available and the demand for that supply.

Us humans all inherently need a roof over our heads. Right? If there are not enough homes being created this increases demand, incomes increase over time, rents increase, property values go up etc.. it’s simple really.

You just need to take action and invest, however invest strategically.

That’s where we can help,  Our research fundamentals look for patterns that will drive growth.  We do the homework for you that takes the guess work out of the equation.

So don’t buy into the fear and jump onto the negativity bandwagon, hold your vision of what you want to create for yourselves and build wealth… just make sure you do your research.

We’d love to help with your next investment there are some fantastic opportunities currently available.

Happy investing!

National Rental Affordability Scheme – Great opportunities for investors!

Have you heard about NRAS – the National Rental Affordability Scheme?  It’s a long term commitment by the Australian Government to investors prepared to build affordable rental housing.

  • increase the supply of new affordable rental housing;
  • reduce rental costs for low and moderate income households; and
  • encourage large scale investment and innovative management of affordable housing.

To find out more, please download our NRAS  fact sheet, or give me a call if you want to discuss some opportunities that we have available.  9281 9300 or 0425 332 600.
