Are you making the most of opportunity in the lucky country? Aaron Christie-David talks about maximising life in Australia with property as a vehicle to make it happen. Unlike many Australians, Aaron has recognised how good we’ve got it here in Australia and has made the most it since moving here when he was young, demonstrating that constant hard work and resilience can transform possibility into reality. Aaron has continuously done what it takes and taken the action to make it happen instead of letting it happen, driven by his underlying attitude of gratitude.

Regional or city? That's always a big question for property investors, especially in Queensland. Troyson Bassani shares his insights. Sticking close to the city was always preferred for many property investors ... until COVID hit. Then we saw an exodus to the regional areas, and that trend has stuck.  For city centric property players push the capital concentration barrow, using employers return to work requirements to justify the story around the boomerang effect of people returning to the cities. On the flip side, the continued tree change and sea change regional exodus to lifestyle, co ..read more

Having a home built can be a nightmare.  Just ask anyone who has done it.  Even with a builder, you might experience missed deadlines, cost blowouts, misunderstandings, little or no communication and so on.  This experience leads some people to do it themselves as an owner/builder.  Unfortunately, most owner/builders don’t know what they don’t know.   There is a better way.  It is called Build Buddy.   NEW – join our Facebook group, The Property Hub Collective: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1857513011165686 Join the Property Hub community on Substack ..read more

It is estimated - according to a recent NAB survey - that up to 3.5% of all property purchasers in Australia are completed with the assistance of a buyer's agent compared to 45% in the USA where buyer’s agents are a much more used resource.  Some estimate that figure will climb to 37% in Australia.  Just one week ago in the US, courts ruled in favour of a group of consumers on a compensation claim worth $415M that relates to how buyers agents are paid in that country.  If approved, it is set to turn the commission structure and selling process in the USA on its head.  Alrea ..read more

Two questions we are asked over and over: Are units a better investment than houses?and Should I invest in the regions or capital cities?   This week we set out to help with answers to both of these.  Bushy gives us his take on the location - city or region and he seeks Terry Ryder's thoughts on houses and units.

It can be hard to know who to trust, especially in the property industry. Lawrie Moore talks about how to build a top team of property professionals to support your goals. It goes without saying that trust is mission critical to the success and sustainability of all of our relationships and interactions, but sadly finding and experiencing real genuine trust is increasingly under threat and a rare commodity given the crisis of trust we now experience in the world.  Sustainable success in property is a game of finance and an elite team sport, and this is all revolves around trust, but its n ..read more
