Now, let's get invested.
Hi Freedom Fighters, what's the best way to invest?
Do you go it alone and try and reinvent the wheel yourself?
Or do you engage professionals to help you?
And if you need others to help you as part of your elite property team, who do you need
to help you and when in order to invest safely and successfully in property?
Welcome back to session five of your Freedom Formula, where we're going to help you answer
these questions under the alpha leverage stage of your property wealth revolution.
Leverage is one of the three most important wealth care ingredients in sustainable success,
which revolves around the concept of giving yourself lots of regular doses of TLC
where giving yourself plenty of tender loving care translates into the synergistic exponential
chemistry that combines time, leverage and compounding. So in this sense TLC breaks down
into tea for time which is about taking the time now to invest in and use the time you've got
in order to get your time back, and by embracing time as your friend, not your enemy. This means
respecting and returning to the laws of nature, where you need to sow, cultivate to grow through
the seasons, and then finally harvest your investment fruit long term. Then comes today's
focus on the L for leverage in TLC, which is about using other people's expertise and other people's
money in recognition that property investment is both a game of finance and an elite team sport.
And then the C in TLC is for compounding growth, utilising the universal law of compounding returns
to snowball exponential investment growth long term. Now, I strongly believe that leverage is
the concept that will have the most significant impact on your success in any area of your life
and on achieving your ultimate lifestyle goals.
As Robert Kiyosaki of Rich Dad Poor Dad fame is famous for saying,
leverage simply means the ability to do more with less.
Leverage allows you to amplify and multiply the results of your efforts
by utilising additional resources,
using less of your resources and more of someone else's.
In investment terms, this means extending your reach
and amplifying your results to become more effective more quickly by using other people's
resources in terms of money, expertise, and time. It's what my wife and I affectionately call
OPM3, which is other people's money, other people's mastery, and other people's means.
Now, we've already discussed the multiplier benefit of using other people's money through
bank investment loan lending to ratchet up your initial asset worth growth back in Freedom Formula
Session 3 when we unpack your bare facts. Of parallel importance is the necessity to leverage
other people's expertise and time to optimise and fast-track your results. And this applies to
anything in life. Essentially, the degree and speed of your success in any area of your life
is going to be largely determined by your ability to build long-term trusting relationships and
create and lead collaborative synergistic teams built on mutual respect focused on the achievement
of common goals. To cite a relevant quote, when I is replaced with we, illness becomes wellness.
So the leverage stage of the property wealth clock revolution is the process where you and
your specialist team, a la your property doctors, have completed your initial prescription and
you're ready to implement your investment treatment. If you've been following the
previous Freedom Formula sessions of the W, E and A of the Sixth Stage Wealth Revolution,
you're already clear on how you want to live, you know how much this lifestyle costs,
you've calculated your freedom numbers to determine how much property you need to invest in now
to bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be. You've worked through your bare
facts to determine how much property you're actually able to acquire and how much it will
cost you to hold. And you've crafted your personal wealth by stealth income replacement investment
strategy to make it all happen. As a result, you've effectively created your property investment
brief that details what value of property you can comfortably afford, and you know what type
of property you needed to secure to achieve all this. So now you know what you need to do
but who do you need to help you and how to make this all happen? Well unless you're a multi-skilled
multitasking DIY genius this is where your alpha leverage stage comes into play where I reinforce
that leverage is about leveraging other people's money via the banks but as importantly leveraging
other people's expertise, a la your elite property team. So let me ask you a question.
If you needed surgery to remove a life-threatening brain tumour, would you race over to Bunnings and
grab a scalpel, some methyl and some cotton wool and have a crack at yourself in front of a bathroom
mirror? Well, my guess is probably not. You'd want the best brain surgeon, plus their team of
supporting specialists, to perform the operation in a very tightly controlled environment where
everyone focuses on their area of expertise and combines to produce a great team result.
Well, property investing is no different. Yet, time and time again, I see investors try and do
it all themselves because they don't know who to trust, or they mistakenly think that because
they live in a home, then they're automatically a property expert. This is probably why so many
first-time and part-time investors buy cheap investment property in their local neighbourhood,
or worse still, they'd buy a holiday house
that they think constitutes an investment property.
When they realise that in two to five years
that the properties are costing them a bomb
and are creating a lot of time-consuming stressful headaches,
they bail out prematurely, never to invest in property again.
Like most endeavours, anyone can invest in property,
but it's only the 5%ers that do it properly.
The problem here, as I found out from bitter and expensive experience
when I first started investing is that you just don't know what you don't know. And you can be
making very big, costly mistakes without even realising you're making them. I've learnt the
hard way that sustainable success in property is definitely an elite team sport. And you're not
even a player. I mean, using an AFL sporting analogy, if you personally donned your favourite
Guernsey and went up against the best opposition players in the league, how would you go?
Unfortunately, you're not likely to do well.
On a similar personal note, I'm also a mad keen diehard field hockey player
who's managed to last over 50 years to play over 800 games
and have been lucky enough to win a bunch of premierships along the way.
And this resilience and success is built around the strength of our team combination
and our camaraderie, not on any individual's contribution.
So right side forever, Smitty.
Now, excuse me for my indulgence there,
as I digress in doing a personal shout out
to one of my long-term teammates and buddies.
If you're a time poor
and you've got a very busy career in life,
you simply don't have the time or expertise
to invest in property properly.
Investing successfully isn't about creating a second job.
It's about decreasing your work,
not complicating it further.
If you tried to get me to do your job,
I wouldn't know where to start
and I'd more than likely stuff it up.
So why try to do this when you invest in property,
when you're putting hundreds of thousands
of your hard-earned dollars at risk?
Your limited and valuable time
is going to be much better spent
by becoming the owner and manager
of your specialist independent property team
with the best available players in each and every position
that are all playing to your game strategy
in order to kick more of your lifestyle goals.
You just need to manage your managers so that you can devote your precious spare time to spending it with your family and friends and enjoying life while your investments grow by remote control.
Using a similar analogy, you just need to craft your life symphony and music score, then become the orchestra leader or find someone independent to be your orchestra leader, and then assemble the best instruments with the best musicians to perform and deliver your life symphony.
and the emphasis here is on totally unrelated independent specialists. Now I'm not a fan of
one-stop shops where all of the experts are in-house. The problem here is that there's just
no checks and balances in the process to ensure that everyone is focusing on satisfying and
satisfying your best interests, not theirs or someone else's. And differences of opinion and
robust discussions between different specialists are actually very healthy because out of these
differences, you'll be able to decide what feels best for you. So who needs to be involved when and
how to optimise your outcomes? Being successful in achieving any major long-term goal requires
a dedicated team of proven independent professional specialists and, as I repeatedly reinforce,
successful property investment is an elite team sport. And as with any elite high-performing team,
you need a team manager, coaches and proven players who combine well with a common game plan
and an intimate understanding and appreciation of each other's unique roles,
their strengths and game tactics. The old analogy of having a champion team
rather than a team of champions rings very true here. As a time poor hard worker to be successful
within this team you just need to be the team owner not the captain coach or player. Your only
job is to engage and manage the team manager and the head coaches. They then need to develop your
winning strategy and engage, train and manage the on-field tactics and performance of the other
required players, keeping you informed and in control of how it's all going. But before we
unpack who and how to engage a high-performing team, let's talk about what you shouldn't do.
Firstly, don't engage a family member, a friend or a friend of a friend. You need a specialist
who you can actually have hard conversation with,
not a generous member of the family
who knows just enough to be dangerous.
Situations such as this can quickly become difficult
and having to talk tough can put your relationship at risk.
Secondly, don't choose someone
because their office is close to you.
Expertise is not proximity-based
and you need the best, not the nearest.
Thirdly, don't select someone based on brand
or having a flash expensive and or large office.
You'll end up paying for it and, again,
you're looking for professionalism, not prestige.
You may be widened and dimed by the head honchos initially
and then be handballed to the backroom junior burgers
to do your work.
So ignore the brand and focus on the actual person
who's going to be looking out to you.
In a similar vein, don't reject someone
because they don't have a flash office.
choose on ability and affability not accommodation. My younger brother Bushy Jr.
accepted a great job many years ago from someone who interviewed him and the interviewer was
adorned in old cracked shoes and faded jeans while he chomped on a banana and that job has
totally transformed his life right through to the current day and the interviewer was none other
than Jerry Harvey of Harvey Norman fame.
So don't judge a book by its cover.
Fourthly, don't focus on cost rather than value.
Remember, you don't get what you don't pay for.
The lowest cost often ends up being the most costly.
Paying a little bit more to get a much superior result
through extra smarts that save or make you thousands
is a small price to pay.
Don't be penny wise and pound foolish, because as Benjamin Franklin was famous for saying,
the bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
And as the American all-world firefighter Red Astaire once said,
if you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur.
So don't let that amateur be you.
if you try and do it all yourself or attempt to invest on the cheap and dirty
you've not only bought yourself a second job but you've put your assets for the highest value and
the highest risk in the hands of someone who generally doesn't have the expertise or the time
to do the job properly and that's yourself so good luck with that the key here is to engage the
best of the best in each and every area because there's a lot of very average players and
performers in all industries, and it's generally the top 5% in any occupation that are head and
shoulders above the rest. So how do you separate the best from the rest? Now, I don't have the
time to go into detail on this right now, but anyone you engage as part of your team needs to
be very good and experienced at what they do. They need to demonstrate that they're actually
active investors themselves, and they've done all they're doing themselves, what they suggest that
you need to do and you need to like and respect them personally because successful investment
is very much like a long-term marriage. And don't just take their word for it. Talk to some of their
past and current clients to get the real good, bad and ugly about them and what they do. If you want
a detailed list of the questions you need to ask potential members of your team, then I break this
down in Chapter 7 of my book, The Freedom Formula, under the five T's in trust tenants, which are
talent, tangibles, trade, tax and touch. So what's the makeup of your ideal high-performing
property investment team? Of course, the team all starts with you as the team owner. And as
I've already indicated, as the owner of your high-performing property team, your only role
is to engage and manage your managers and then monitor the performance and profitability of
your portfolio. So let's look at what everybody else should be doing. And let's start with your
head coach or your team leader. Your team manager should be an independent property investment
advisor or property strategist. Now, chances are you've probably never heard of or let alone met
or used such a person. These professionals form a relatively new but growing field of experts
experts who've arisen in recent years to fill a large void for investors that is independent
trusted advisors who help create clarity and confidence in what to do in property investment
and help to coordinate the input of others to make it all happen safely easily and affordably
they provide you with property investment smarts and act as your independent expert brain ears eyes
and voice on your investment trajectory and then they facilitate the arms and legs of all the other
required property players to turn your vision into reality. Now I'm proud to call myself a specialist
property investment strategist and to find others the best place to look is via the Property
Investment Professionals of Australia or PIPA which you can find at pipa.asn.au
A good property investment strategist will help you get clarity and comfort as well as facilitate
and oversee all of the property wealth stages from go to woe that I'm going through in this
Freedom Formula series. They'll also crunch the numbers right down to detailed property investment
analysis and feasibilities in terms of how much an investment property is likely to actually cost
you per week in years 1, 2, 3, 5, 10 and beyond. And once your team leader is in place, you can
then go about locking in the other members of your elite property team, or what we like to call
your silver circle. So next on your list are your master coaches. To round out your overall holistic
and integrated investment strategy, you and your independent property strategist need to work with
three other key professionals. These are your accountant, investment finance specialist,
and financial planner and together they make up what we call your golden triangle. So let's dig
into these. Starting with an accountant. Now you need to find an accountant who invests in property
so they can assist in advising you on the most appropriate property ownership structures
whether that be in individual names, tenant in common splits, trust whether discretionary or
unit, companies, or self-managed super funds. An accountant who knows about property investment
can also advise you on tax considerations and depreciation impacts. You need to be wary of
everyday tax accountants who may be very good at doing a simple tax return, but are unlikely to
understand all of the nuances of the multitude of property investment tax rulings, which may end up
costing you thousands of dollars. Next in your property investment team is your investment
finance specialist. And I'm not talking here about someone who works for a bank or your average
mortgage broker. Property is a game of finance. So if you're investing in property, some fundamental
and critical finance structuring and strategy considerations can make or break the success
of your property portfolio if not understood properly right from the start. And don't
underestimate the importance of this. I've seen a lot of very sorry investors who've paid the price
of going straight to the bank or a low-rate loan broker who just don't understand the nuances of
property investment finance. I can't overemphasise the importance of this very critical input.
make sure you're dealing with an investment savvy finance broker who invests in property themselves
it will likely save you thousands reduce risk considerably and help you sleep much more
comfortably at night an expert investment savvy finance broker will determine your capacity in
terms of borrowings equity and property purchase price points they'll structure your finances to
minimize risk and limit exposure of your family home they'll save you tens of thousands of dollars
in loan repayments. They'll help you use your property portfolio to pay off your non-deductible
home loan years earlier, and they'll know which bank or lender is best suited to you achieving
your goals, given the enormous variation in lending policies across the more than 40 lenders
and over 2,000 different loan solutions available. Apples are definitely not apples when it comes to
a massive variation in what banks will and won't do. The final member of your golden triangle
is a good property aware financial planner who's an important part of your strategy team in terms of
risk protection insurances to ensure that your assets are protected in the advent of
unforeseen circumstances. Also diversified investment planning to avoid having all of
your eggs in one basket by incorporating a spread of wealth creation investments across asset types
such as equities, cash and superannuation
at the appropriate time.
And the critical transition to retirement
or liberate and remunerate stop work phase,
where they help in converting your property
and other nest egg assets
into tax-effective ongoing income streams post-retirement.
Again, you need to tread very carefully here
because many financial planners don't support property
as part of their preferred investment portfolios.
So ensure you select a financial planner
who invests in property personally and adopts a balanced asset approach to your overall investment
strategy. Now these are hard to find and many financial planners will actively try to talk
you out of property and into equities or other investment classes because they're actually not
licensed to advise on property and they don't get paid for property. You also need to ensure that
your financial planner is paid based on a fee-for-service model and not taking undisclosed
commissions from insurance, superannuation and other financial product providers. Also make sure
that the financial planner has their own financial services license and is independent of the major
financial institutions so they don't have an obligation to refer you to their host providers
because this severely limits the objective and transparent choice quality and performance
of financial products. And of course, it increases the cost to you.
Now, once your golden triangle is in place and your immediate medium and long-term strategy has
been well-defined, it's time to assemble your on-field property delivery team.
And your on-field property team consists of your team captain, which is your buyer's agent if you're
securing existing property, or if you're building, your project manager, along with your on-field
property delivery team. If you're buying an existing property, don't make the costly mistake
of buying the property yourself. You'll likely be buying a property on the open market and talking
with selling agents who are engaged by the existing property owner to get the best price for the
property. These selling agents are also paid commission based on the purchase price, so they've
got a vested interest in pushing the buy price up as high as possible. In this situation, having a
local area expert buyer's agent with access to leading-edge data research support on your team
is absolutely paramount. When considering existing property, keep in mind the old industry maxim
that you make your money when you buy, not when you sell. Buyer's agents are engaged and paid by
you to get you the best property in the best location at the best price to suit your strategy
and your affordability. They're your expert property selection eyes, ears, arms and legs
and their fees will be more than compensated by the considerable savings that they can achieve
for you. Buyer's agents who specialise in investment provide you with three key advantages.
Firstly, access to off-market or pre-market purchases, for example properties that haven't
yet been advertised, although you need to be careful here because this can also be a two-edged
soar. Secondly, they give you time savings. And thirdly, and most importantly, they have
familiarity with growth areas in terms of which properties rent well and which don't,
across market trends and fluctuating growth rates. In addition to this, a good buyer's agent
is an experienced negotiator, which can actually save you thousands. And they have good familiarity
with all real estate agents and others. So they can assist you in identifying the good, the bad,
and the ugly of who you're dealing with to sort the wheat from the chaff.
Now, I really need to emphasise here that you need a really good buyer's agent
because there's a lot of Johnny-come-lately buyer's agents
who have joined the industry in recent times,
and while they talk a big game and bury you with kilos
of glossy desktop information to convince you on what you should buy,
but many of them have very little boots-on-the-ground
intimate local knowledge and familiarity with an area because they've never been there and
they're often not good negotiators and at times are often in cahoots and are an extension of
seller's agents who use them to quickly offload average properties under the guise of being
exclusive off-market properties. So you need to break through the smoke and mirrors of this
and get a really good independent buyer's agent with proven skills in national and local research,
selection and negotiation. If you're looking for assistance in how to find really good buyers
agents, feel free to email me on bushy at knowhowproperty.com.au and we'll email you a
copy of the detailed list of questions to ask of buyers agents that we use when we interview and
select potential buyers agents. Similar approaches need to be adopted in securing an independent
project manager if you're building in conjunction with a surveyor, builder and independent building
inspector. So if you're looking for assistance with this, I give a detailed breakdown in chapter
seven of the Freedom Formula book. Returning to the existing property front, in addition to a
buyer's agent, you'll need a good conveyancer to review purchase contracts and facilitate settlement
and an independent building and pest inspector to confirm the condition of a property,
a quantity surveyor to prepare a tax depreciation schedule, and most importantly, a really good
manager who will drive and facilitate your post-game support team. Now, a really good
local independent property manager is worth their weight in gold and are one of your most important
team members as they'll make or break both your property purchase as well as the enjoyment or
otherwise of your ongoing property journey as they actually have the longest relationship with you
and the property of anyone in the property investment process. So we rely on good independent
property managers that are part of dedicated property management only businesses, as opposed
to property management teams that are poor under-resourced cousins of real estate sales
officers. And we like to get them involved up front and early as part of an additional layer
of due diligence to provide independent local assessments of properties identified by buyers
agents, to provide intimate local knowledge on the perceptions of areas and how properties
compared to others in the area in terms of both rentability and future resale. Unfortunately,
the importance of property managers is often overlooked, as good property managers tell you
how it is and not what you want to hear, as they're actually likely to inherit any issues
with the property if they then end up managing them. And post-settlement, the quality of your
property management will make or break your investment property experience. A really good
property manager can make owning a property a breeze, whereas an average property manager can
turn the process into a financial and stressful disaster. And don't fool yourself into thinking
that you can do this on your own, because residential tenancy law has become much more
litigious and demanding in recent years, and the small amount you may think you're saving by doing
it yourself will be blown out of the water the first time you have a major issue. And on this
score, it's not a matter of if, but just a matter of when this is going to occur.
So when engaging your local property management specialist, your focus should not be about their
rate because you need to focus on their reliability. Don't get caught up on arguing
the toss between a really good property manager who might charge you up to 11% fees versus an
average operator who charges the standard 6% to 8.8%. In most cases, the difference between the
two amounts to the cost of a cup of coffee a week. And if you're prepared to put your most
valuable asset at risk for the cost of the coffee, then you probably shouldn't be investing in
property at all. Now, if you're looking for the lowdown on exactly what to look for when it comes
to each and every one of these independent property team specialists, then I'll break it down chapter
and verse for you in my book, The Freedom Formula. And this brings us to the close of your elf
leverage stage of your property wealth revolution. The take-homes here are firstly, that successful
property investment is a specialist elite team sport, not a part-time half-baked DIY project.
Secondly, you are your property portfolio team owner, supported by independent professional
property experts in the form of a team manager, coaches and proven players who combine well with
your common game plan and an intimate understanding and appreciation of each other's unique roles,
their strengths and game tactics. You're not a property player. Your role is to manage your
managers. Thirdly, that every member of your property teams needs to be independent of each
other. Fourthly, successful specialist property investment team planning engagement involves
getting the best of the best in terms of a property investment strategist, an investment
savvy finance broker, a property specialist accountant, a financial planner, a buyer's
agent for an existing property, or a project manager if you're building, a conveyancer,
a building and pest inspector, a quantity surveyor, and last but definitely not least,
a really good property manager. And finally, property is a game of finance, so focus on the
numbers. The property is just the vehicle to help you achieve financial and lifestyle goals.
Your investment properties are just money boxes in the shape of a house.
So build the entire worst case property performance scenario on paper first,
because the property is actually the last thing that you need to look at.
Now, now that you've completed your W, E, A and L stages of your property wealth revolution,
you're now clear on where you're heading what you need to do and what you can do you've painted out
your investment strategy and property brief and you've assembled your expert property team so
