Given that the centenary of the beginning of the ‘Great War’ was commemorated yesterday, along with the current state of demographic-based international conflicts, it seems fitting to reflect on how Australian demographics have changed over the last century.

Our loyal readership will recall last week’s article that discussed the risk of adapting a strategy based on feedback from close ones that aren’t particularly ‘in tune’ with today’s property investment market. One facet of this that is often raised with Blue Wealth is the perceived risks associated with off-the-plan.

When cruisin’ down the Champs Elysees in Paris, Rodeo Drive in Hollywood, or Chapel Street in Melbourne, you would cop some pretty ‘dodgy’ looks if you were styled in yesterday’s fashion. If you want to walk the ‘Champs Elysees of property investing’, it would therefore be beneficial to leave your tracksuit in the wardrobe.

The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) depends on an array of variables to remain relevant. One particular variable of significance, particularly with property investment, is that the investor is rational, is driven by aversion to risk and is seeking the maximum possible return for a given level of risk.

1 July is a day more commonly known as ‘Canada Day’ to approximately 30,000 Canadian citizens that call Australia home, particularly Blue Wealth’s Event Manager, Taryn. The date is significant as it is the date that their constitution was established. Canada and Australia have a lot in common economically; let’s explore this together.

I have no idea what the retirement age will be by the time I reach the twilight of my life. One thing I am quite certain of is that I don’t want it to ever concern me. Currently, the single age pension ‘maximum basic rate’ is $842.80 per fortnight, a little under $22,000 per year.

Like most property enthusiasts, my interest in the asset class began with my parents encouraging me to save my hard earned cash in order to purchase my own investment property. This objective was realised at the age of 21 albeit with caution and reluctance, as I took feedback from market sceptics about how heavily over-priced the Australian residential housing market was and the resultant looming possibility of a ‘housing bubble’.

Blue Wealth clients that invested in the Sunshine Coast in the most recent cycle would be happy to hear positive sentiment coming from the region. Although the area is more known in the ‘mainstream’ as a hotspot for downsizers and aged pensioners, Matusik Missive has identified that the greatest growth in demand from housing is coming from first home buyers and young renters. The good news coming from the Sunshine Coast can be summarised into four primary categories.

I was once enlightened with the notion that if two conflicting political parties agreed to reduce their campaign spending equally, the competition would remain just as fierce, yet the savings on both sides could be put to ‘better use’. This suggestion was made because of the competitive relationship where one campaign would ramp up in financial magnitude and the other would follow, much like a suburban Saturday morning auction.

Trying to find a new home in an inner city suburb as a tenant can be difficult at the best of times, particularly if home seeking in the golden strip between the city and the surf. So what is the best strategy adopted by tenants to remain competitive and get that tenancy agreement they desire?
