Today is an auspicious day! It’s episode 100 of the Urban Property Investor! I think I should throw a party with all of you wonderful listeners!

To commemorate the episode I’m going to talk about the future of real estate investing in Australia. What are the pros and what are the cons of even choosing real estate? Don’t worry, there are plenty of cons! This isn’t some weird way to sell you on real estate. It’s bloody hard work and takes a bloody long time to see the returns.

But if you don’t know these pros and cons, then you don’t know the game of real estate. And take my word for it, this thing is a game, and you need to know the rules.

So come join me where I break down the biggest benefits and downfalls of our current Australian marketplace and look into the future. We raise the bat for 100 episodes for which I thank you. And now, let’s get code-cracking…

You can’t deny that there’s an element of risk in any type of investment. What smart investors do is mitigate as much risk as they can comfortably deal with.

Today I’m going to expose the 8 major risks of investing in real estate. Technically I’m talking about four risks and four gaps, but even the gaps are risks!

And if anyone ever tells you property is a no-risk game, run away as fast as you can!

I want to share with you the truths behind property investing so please take notes because I want you to consider these risks every time you look at a deal.

There are five dysfunctions of a property investor, and it applies to every single investor. In other words, you will want to score yourself against each of the five listed in this episode. Thanks to Patrick Lencioni and his 5 Dysfunctions of a Team framework of which I have applied his teachings to real estate investors.

When the 5 dysfunctions are active in investors, millions of dollars are wasted or never realised. WHat’s holding investors back? And what’s keeping so many stuck in one or more dysfunctions? Be prepared for part 1 of a 2 part collection where we restart and rethink our behaviour as investors and give our STRATEGY a major audit.
