Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast

The way we live in Australia has changed. We've traded backyards for balconies and courtyards and this has resulted in around one in five Australians living in apartments today. That's up from one in seven in the 1990s. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, of the ten million or so dwellings in Australia, around 10% of these are what they call attached dwelling apartments built in capi...

Life after coronavirus will never be the same as before. We're waiting for a new beginning, and the forecasts for 2021 are starting to appear one by one, and some of them are more optimistic than others. Today, I'd like to share two sessions with you that will help you make the best of 2021. First, I'm going to share three tips for 2021 if you're interested in getting into property investment, and...

You invest your money to give yourself the highest likelihood of reaching your goals. But how do you know if your investment is actually helping you reach your goals? And what do you do if your investment properties are underperforming? That's what I'm going to discuss today with Brett Warren, and our conversation will be informative for both new and experienced investors. Then, in my mindset mome...

It looks like we worked our way through the recession, and slowly but surely, the coronavirus pandemic is coming under control. That means that the recession that we had was very different from previous recessions. But what does our recovery look like? That's what I'm going to talk about today with Pete Wargent. We'll discuss what's ahead for our economy, why the recession panned out as it did, an...

There are signs that the modest coronavirus-induced housing correction has come to an end. Nobody's going to ring a bell telling us the market's bottomed, but I'm sure when we look back in 12 months' time, we're going to find that the value of some properties has increased significantly and our property markets turned the corner in October 2020. But as usual, some segments of our property markets...

You're probably listening to this podcast because you're interested in property investment, but if you're like most people, you're also interested in more success in various elements of your life, as well as more money. We're going to have two separate sections to today's show. In one I'll explain to you why wealth is about what you don't spend. In the second segment, I'll have a chat with Tom Cor...

We're almost at the end of another year.  And what a year it's been! 2020 started off with predictions of a fantastic year in property. Remember we were coming off the end of 2019 when property markets were very strong. Then the predictions changed to doom and gloom because of COVID. And it wasn't just the naysayers – economists were suggesting property doom as well. Now it's been said that the ro...

How do you pick the turning point of the property market? And are we there yet? With so many mixed messages in the media today, I'm going to spend today's show explaining my thoughts about what's ahead for the property market so that at the end of the show you'll have a better idea of what's to come. I believe there's a window of opportunity before we have what I call a "perfect storm of influence...

If you're a poor negotiator, you're going to spend a fortune, if you're a good negotiator, you'll save a fortune, if you're a great negotiator, hopefully, you'll make a fortune. Success in life depends upon your ability to influence. And I've just recently had my 9th book published - Negotiate, Influence, Persuade.

When I wrote the first edition of my book How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio - in your spare time , way back in 2006, it was outsold by another author who promised the secret to going from 0 to 230 properties in three and a half years. Subsequently, the same author wrote another book, 0 to 260 properties in seven years. Now who wouldn't want to be able to achieve that? But the q...

Maybe you're rich. Maybe you're poor. Maybe you've experienced both at different points in your life. There is no doubt the divide between the rich and the poor is only becoming bigger. By the way…if you haven't figured it out yet, being wealthy isn't all about money. So what's the difference between the rich and the poor? That's the question that I was asked by Andy Hart when I was interviewed on...

What's ahead for our property markets? It's hard to make predictions, especially about the future. It's even harder to predict the endpoint of a moving target. Yet there is a palpable change in property sentiment happening. Earlier this year, there were a number of dire predictions suggesting property values would plummet. But now, most of the pessimists have changed their minds and backtracked on...

Inspirational quotes trigger something within us when we hear them and read them.

Money doesn't care about what color, race, or class you are. It doesn't care what your parents did or who you think you are. It doesn't discriminate. And you have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else to make as much of it as you want. But the majority of Australians will never be financially independent. On the other hand, a small group of Australian investors and business owners are...

What will life be like when the COVID-19 crisis passes? What aspects will stay with us, and what will disappear? We've been thrust into a moment of rapid change, but most of us don't like change. It makes us feel uncomfortable. We like a level of certainty about our future, health, and jobs, as well about the worlds of finance and property that most of us are interested in. But there are lessons i...

You're probably here because you're interested in property investment or money. But if you think about it, underlying that is success. You're probably looking for more success in all areas of your life, and success depends on your ability to influence and communicate. That's what we're going to be talking about today.

When it comes to property investing are you a fox or a hedgehog? Is property investment an art or science? Maybe property investment isn't what you should be spending your time on; maybe you should stick to your day job instead That's what I discuss today with Stuart Wemyss. And then, in my mindset moment, I'm going to share with you why we're not all created equal. You'll get lots of great inform...

Today, we're going to be talking about asset protection with Australia's leading property tax strategist, Ken Raiss. Asset protection is the use of smart legal strategies to protect what's yours. For instance, we're going to discuss why people who own properties in their own names are putting themselves at risk, and why even homeowners, not just property investors, need to have asset protection st...

Donald Trump is inarguably one of the most interesting personalities in the world today. Regardless of what you think of Donald Trump, you have to acknowledge that his decision to leave his highly successful day job as a property developer and run for President of the United States was gutsy. For years I used to watch him from afar, I've read his books, watched him on TV and I used to admire his s...
