THE PURE PROPERTY PODCAST: Building a $2m property portfolio in a hot market
In this episode of The Pure Property Podcast, co-hosts Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop are joined by Sam Beckett to discuss the current Australian property market, focusing on interest rates, investment strategies, and market trends.
The co-hosts begin the episode with a market analysis, noting that housing values rose nationally by 1.1% in October, driven by strong demand, limited supply, and high immigration.
They link this trend to broader economic conditions, as the Reserve Bank of Australia recently held rates steady amid rising inflation, largely driven by increases in housing and electricity costs.
The hosts caution that government initiatives, such as first home buyer grants and zoning changes, may increase demand but do little to address the underlying supply shortage.
Macquarie Bank’s upcoming halt on lending to trusts and companies was also discussed, with the hosts emphasising the importance of using such structures legally and strategically.
Guest Sam Beckett also shares his property journey, demonstrating how disciplined planning and leveraging a stable income can build a $2 million portfolio by age 29.
The conversation highlights the importance of investors remaining vigilant, considering long-term market dynamics, and making informed decisions tailored to their specific goals.
