We’ve been helping everyday Australians invest smarter for over 20 years, and if there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s this: there’s a lot of noise out there.
From headline hype to social media hot takes, it’s getting harder for property investors to cut through and get to the truth. So this week, we’re doing something a little different.
We’re sharing the Top 3 Tips No One Else Will Tell You because they won’t show up in a trending reel or cookie-cutter guide. But they will help you make better decisions.
Here they are:
- It’s not about the property.
Sounds strange, right? But we see too many investors choose the wrong property because they skipped the strategy. Your goals should define the property you buy, not the other way around.
The strategy will then define what type of property, when and where. All of which should be based on deep research. The right property will enable your strategy. The wrong property will limit or kill it. The why and how determine the what, so start with strategy and research. It trumps just ‘buying a property’ every time.
- One good deal can ruin your portfolio.
All risk stems from a lack of knowledge. And without context, information is just a standalone fact; one that can either empower or mislead. In property, many people shape information to fit the outcome they want, convincing themselves they have enough to make a decision. But without the full picture, knowledge remains incomplete, and that’s where the risk lies.
At the same time, there’s often pressure to act. To overcome the fear of doing nothing, people seek out information and apply context based on what others say or from personal experience, even when that context may not be entirely accurate.
Chasing a great deal in isolation can actually do more harm than good. Every property in your portfolio needs to work together. If one pulls you off course, it could cost you years.
- Most people get finance advice too late.
Your lending structure is one of the most important parts of your strategy, yet most investors don’t think about it until after they’ve found a property. Put the team in place first, have the plan agreed, then act. Otherwise, it could all be in vain. (Note, this applies to legal advice, too.)
If these tips got you thinking, there’s more where that came from.
