People forget this… Between 2005 and 2015, large People forget this…

Between 2005 and 2015, large parts of the property market did almost nothing.
No crash.
Just no real growth.

And that’s dangerous, because people think:
“Property always goes up.”

But what goes up doesn’t always stay up.

Markets change.
Areas fall in and out of favour.
And you can lose 10 years without even realising it if you buy in the wrong place at the wrong time.

That’s why understanding property economics matters.

In my course, I teach you how to:
– Understand macro drivers like interest rates, jobs and migration
– Read local micro factors like infrastructure, zoning and demand
– Work out why an area will grow, not just hope it will

This course isn’t hype.
It’s 20 years of valuation experience
Turned into practical knowledge
So you can make smarter property decisions long term.

Property isn’t luck.
It’s understanding.

I’m just going to say it. Some buyer’s agents are I’m just going to say it.
Some buyer’s agents are straight-out horrible.
Some of them genuinely don’t care about you.

And I know this because I see the properties they buy.

I do the tax depreciation schedules on them.
I do the investment property reviews when clients are in tears because the property is an absolute lemon.
And I used to value properties for the banks — so I know what a quality property looks like… and what is absolute rubbish.

You need to be very careful who you engage.

Because if you’re treated like just another number,
they’re going to treat your finances like just another number.

You’ll spend more time choosing a toaster than you do choosing a property.

And here’s a big red flag:
If you’re dealing with two or three different people in the process, chances are… they don’t care about you.

I will die on this hill:
Buyer’s agents need to be held more accountable for the quality of what they buy.

Now — I know some amazing buyer’s agents.
I happily refer to them.
But if I know someone is terrible, I will tell you straight.

And I tell my clients every day:
Do not settle for crap.

Agents need to take more accountability —
but you also need to pull your head out and make sure you’re not just hiring a buyer’s agent for the sake of it.

I wish you all the best,
and I genuinely hope this video helps.

But please…
be careful out there.
I know what adds value to your home. And I know wh I know what adds value to your home.
And I know what wastes your money.

Because I’m a Valuer.
It’s what I’ve studied.
It’s what I’m paid to do.

So if you want to know what really adds value.
Don’t guess.
Ask a Valuer.
Ask me.
This is one TAX change I’m not a fan of. Not just This is one TAX change I’m not a fan of. Not just because I work in property, or because I invest myself, but because I don’t think it solves the real problem.

Sure, it might make a small, immediate difference, but smart property investors adapt quickly. They’ll find loopholes, change strategies, and work around the system. This won’t fix affordability.

What we need is better solutions. We’re in a housing shortage. We need more properties. Maybe we rethink how investors buy properties, limit numbers, then introduce tax changes, but applying this across the board with no grandfathering? That’s shortsighted.

I want this to be an open discussion. How will this affect you? Do you have a better idea? Agree? Disagree? And if you’re someone with influence, please read the comments and share your thoughts. I’d love to hear them.
