  • What Are the Nationwide Impacts of Recent Legislative Changes on Property Management?
    2024/11/10
    Legislative changes are shaking up property management across Australia, and the impact reaches much further than we might expect. In this episode, we sit down with Cathie Crampton, National Head of Property Management Growth at Belle Property Corporate, to break down how these new laws are reshaping the roles of landlords, property managers, and tenants alike.

From adopting tech solutions to adjusting rent rolls, property managers are finding creative ways to handle these changing landscapes to keep operations sustainable.

  • Real Estate Tactics You Need to Know: Underquoting, Auctions, and Market Sentiment
    2024/11/03
    Underquoting, auction tactics, and market sentiment—some of real estate’s most controversial topics. These are exactly what we’re diving into today with Thomas McGlynn, CEO of BresicWhitney. There's no holding back as we talk about the realities behind underquoting, why it’s so hard to avoid in a competitive market, and the fine line agents walk when trying to attract buyers without misleading them. As Thomas puts it, even with laws in place, agents are often forced into tough positions: when one agent quotes low, others often have to adjust their guides just to compete. It’s a tightrope that often leaves buyers frustrated and sellers with high expectations. We also dig into the auction room itself and the psychology at play there. We take a unique look at how auctioneers manage to draw more from buyers than they initially intend to spend, all without crossing ethical lines. We discuss the difference between registered and active bidders, noting how this insight gives us a real-time view of market confidence—a far more useful indicator than auction clearance rates alone. Finally, we share our thoughts on the current market and where we think it’s headed. With interest rates soaring high, buyers are naturally hesitant, but we believe those who buy now could see the rewards by late 2025, especially in sentiment-driven markets like Sydney. Once rates eventually ease, buyer confidence is expected to surge, and we’ll see a market shift. It’s an honest, in-depth conversation about the realities of today’s market, what buyers can expect, and why timing and strategy are everything. Tune in and let's get started! Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Introduction 01:06 - Who is Thomas McGlynn? 02:09 - Unique insights Thomas has gained from years in auctioneering 03:25 - How Thomas gauges the market’s direction beyond bidder numbers at auctions 06:47 - Thomas McGlynn's thoughts on agents facing underquoting challenges 15:54 - How do master auctioneers convince bidders to go beyond their budget? 18:47 - Observation on the new breed of buyers agents in recent years 21:00 - The current market phase and its impact on buyers through 2025 26:44 - How do agents manage open databases while complying with privacy legislation? 31:56 - How does business adapt to lower turnover rates while identifying potential sellers? 37:55 - What does it take for an agent to get to the top of the game and just stay on top? 49:32 - Thomas McGlynn’s property dumbo About Our Guest: Thomas McGlynn is the CEO of BresicWhitney, a Sydney-based property group, and is recognised as one of Australia’s leading thought leaders, mentors, and real estate coaches. With over two decades of experience, he has built and led high-performing teams and held leadership roles within national real estate groups in Queensland and Sydney.

  • Is Property Investment Within an SMSF a Good Idea?
    2024/10/27
    Is putting property into your SMSF a good idea, or could it be too risky? SMSF advisor Liam Shorte from Sonas Wealth joins us today to explore this hot topic, giving practical insights on the benefits of more control, tax advantages, and the hidden costs and risks that SMSF investors often miss. We explore the appeal of property investment within an SMSF for those aiming to diversify their retirement strategies, with Liam highlighting both the potential benefits and risks involved. While property can offer control and growth, Liam has seen many investors fall prey to unqualified advice and costly mistakes. The key, he says, is understanding the rules and avoiding schemes marketed as “one-stop-shops”—these setups often come with high risks and may not align with an investor’s long-term goals. We also emphasise the importance of maintaining balance within an SMSF portfolio, ensuring that there’s adequate liquidity to support flexibility as life stages and retirement plans evolve. Compliance is another major factor, as SMSFs face strict ATO oversight. From penalties to complex reporting, there’s no margin for error, and Liam illustrates this with examples from clients who have successfully coursed through these requirements by investing thoughtfully, like buying commercial property to lease back to a family business. Throughout the episode, Liam shares insights on managing SMSF property investment with smart, tailored strategies. His practical advice provides a framework for building an SMSF that fits your financial goals without overloading on risks or overlooking critical tax and compliance obligations. Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Introduction 01:02 - Who is Liam Shorte? 01:49 - What is a fellow SMSF specialist advisor? 02:43 - What is an SMSF? 04:52 - Biggest risks in handling SMSF funds for different retirement stages 06:14 - How to manage trustee disagreements in SMSF strategy setting 08:33 - Has competition shifted SMSF drivers from fee savings to investment options? 12:24 - Key compliance and cost factors to think about when starting an SMSF 16:11 - Are people finally realising the full potential of super contributions? 19:31 - The implications of investing in property through super for younger investors 24:04 - Is an SMSF right for you? Who should consider it? 27:24 - Are women better investors than men? 33:21 - The dangers of focusing solely on residential property in an SMSF 35:36 - Mitigating the risks of having an unbalanced SMSF portfolio heavily focused on property 42:11 - Common mistakes investors make with residential property in their super 51:36 - Liam Shorte’s property dumbo About Our Guest: Liam Shorte, a Fellow SMSF Specialist Advisor™ and Financial Planner with Sonas Wealth, brings 30 years of experience across Australia, Ireland, the UK, and the Middle East.
