In fact, as we speak, we\u2019re bouncing off about nine satellites as we worked out. Kathleen Norris is the managing principal of Urban Fast Forward and is in Australia. She is from the U.S. and she is speaking at the UDIA Congress in Melbourne as we speak right now.<br \/>\nKathleen, thank you for spending some time with us. Isn\u2019t technology a wonderful thing?<br \/>\n<strong>Kathleen:<\/strong>\u00a0 Isn\u2019t it amazing? Here we are, and ten years ago, we couldn\u2019t have even done this.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 I know. It\u2019s incredible. Now, you\u2019re here to talk to a whole group of people \u2013 you\u2019ve done that already, I understand \u2013 about cleaning up dangerous neighborhoods. What are the key steps to doing that, and have you been able to see any while you\u2019re in Australia?<br \/>\n<strong>Kathleen:<\/strong>\u00a0 I think Australia has a very different definition of a dangerous neighborhood than we do in the United States, because you very wisely have good gun policy. As I\u2019m sure your listeners know, the United States has not achieved that yet, so our dangerous neighborhoods can be genuinely quite dangerous.<br \/>\nWe also have a lot of old neighborhoods where our most disadvantaged population has often been gathered, and unhappiness does not breed good neighborhood safety.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 Putting aside guns for a moment, what are the key steps to cleaning up those dangerous neighborhoods that we can learn from?<br \/>\n<strong>Kathleen:<\/strong>\u00a0 I think the very first step, whether it relates to guns or not guns, is to move toward making the neighborhood safe. That relates to good community activation. It involves creating or maintaining or improving relationships with the police. It involves identifying where the problems are in the neighborhood, and very often, it\u2019s the neighbors who know, and getting them to share that information and feeling safe in sharing it. Safety is certainly the first thing.<br \/>\nAnd then clean, what we call in the United States \u201csafe and clean\u201d is a common pair. Are those streets really in good condition? Are there rubbish bins that are regularly emptied? Are there good businesses on the streets? Are their neighborhood amenities of any kind? How do we introduce a higher level of safe and clean into our neighborhoods?<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 We\u2019re talking here about improving the way we live, both from a safety point of view and how we live. Is part of the answer micro cities, and if so, can you just tell me how you go about creating one?<br \/>\n<strong>Kathleen:<\/strong>\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure I truly understand the term \u201cmicro city.\u201d I think probably the development pattern in the United States is quite different from Australia, and I think what you\u2019re calling a \u201cmicro city\u201d might be what we call a neighborhood, where it has its own personality. It\u2019s related to the larger infrastructure picture, but it has a unique character. It\u2019s beloved by its particular residents. And you have to build on that character and make sure that it\u2019s a well-integrated place to live.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 In Australia, what can we learn from the U.S. in terms of building these safer micro cities or neighborhoods, as you call them?<br \/>\n<strong>Kathleen:<\/strong>\u00a0 Well, I have to say first that I\u2019m going to pass that back the other way and say that I have been so impressed in Australia by what you are doing here and by how the nation is growing and how there\u2019s policy at both the federal, the state, and even the local level to ensure that growth is well managed.<br \/>\nBut I think you\u2019re going to face a connectivity crisis, and I think that will be the thing that you\u2019re going to want to address, because as you develop the regional cities \u2013 the Geelongs, the Tamworths, the Oranges, and even the next generation of cities that are coming along behind \u2013 they\u2019re going to have to be connected to the center.<br \/>\nYour housing prices are so high that those smaller cities are starting to have real appeal to residents, but first of all, can I get into the center if I\u2019m working in the center? And then second, if I live in one of those cities, is there a job for me? Those are the things that I think will be interesting for you to tackle here.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 Just a couple of points, if I could pick up on those, and you make some very good points there. Is infill the answer? As we look at some of those areas you\u2019re talking about and spreading out from the capital cities because there\u2019s potential there for great infill and also really good transportation with fast speed rail and so on, Kathleen?<br \/>\n<strong>Kathleen:<\/strong>\u00a0 I think that\u2019s absolutely right. I think at the moment, we project ourselves into the future, 20, 30, 40, maybe even 50 years. I\u2019m not sure, but what, in 100 years, we won\u2019t have any regional centers; we\u2019ll just have a vast plane of development, and connectivity will be absolutely key to the success of that.<br \/>\nWe talk now about green fields and moving out into the green fields. In 100 years, will there be any green fields? Will we need to be completely connected throughout that? And infill, yes. Urban infill is a huge area of opportunity. But at some point, we\u2019re going to have it all filled.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 Just picking up on another point, too, and that is connectivity. When we talk about connectivity, I instantly think of the Internet, technology, and our ability to work remotely but still have that relationship with someone in a cap city. Is that a help as well, Kathleen?<br \/>\n<strong>Kathleen:<\/strong>\u00a0 Much to your earlier point that you and I are bouncing off nine satellites and that that is something we couldn\u2019t even have imagined ten years ago, I\u2019m not sure we know what the advantages of technology will be ten or more years hence. But what we have discovered is that people resist anything that will keep them from human connection.<br \/>\nWe thought a while back that everyone was going to be able to work from home, that we\u2019d have that kind of Internet connectivity. What we really want is human connectivity. That\u2019s what we\u2019ve discovered.<br \/>\nSo, we\u2019re going to have to figure out how to do what we need to do but also keep people engaged with each other.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 Kathleen, just to round this out \u2013 it\u2019s been a delight talking to you; thank you so much for spending some time with us \u2013 what\u2019s the thing that you are passionate, or most passionate, about?<br \/>\n<strong>Kathleen:<\/strong>\u00a0 I am passionate about cities. I really, really love cities, and one of the things that I love most about them is that they are cross-cultural centers. If I go down into the heart of Melbourne right now, I will bump up against so many people who are unlike me, who are younger, who are older, who have a different history or a different heritage.<br \/>\nI love the fact that in a city, we get to see all that panoply of humanity, and I think it actually helps to humanize us. It helps to make us less afraid of each other when we intersect in public space. And cities are really where that occurs.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 Kathleen, it has been a delight talking to you. Thank you so much. It\u2019s been very enjoyable bouncing off these satellites with you, I have to say, so thank you so much for your time.<br \/>\n<strong>Kathleen:<\/strong>\u00a0 My absolute pleasure.<\/p>\n<h2>Never too early or late to start &#8211;\u00a0Luke Harris<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 My next guest is a gentleman I\u2019ve had on the show in the past. Luke Harris is from The Property Mentors. He joins me once again.<br \/>\nGood day, Luke. Thanks again for your time.<br \/>\n<strong>Luke:<\/strong>\u00a0 Good day, Kevin. How are you?<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, good mate. The subject this time is talking about developing a wealth creation plan to achieve a lifestyle you desire. Is it about making a plan? We all want to get on in life, but that we don\u2019t quite know how to make the plan, Luke?<br \/>\n<strong>Luke:<\/strong>\u00a0 That\u2019s right. In school, we\u2019re not taught how to actually set out our goals and our plans for our wealth creation. Wealth creation wasn\u2019t a topic for me to choose at school, unfortunately.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 Okay. So, how do we go about doing it?<br \/>\n<strong>Luke:<\/strong> \u00a0How do you do it? Look, the main thing for most people is to really work out why are you investing in the first place? What does wealth creation mean to you? Because for everybody out there, they\u2019re going to have a different take on wealth creation and what that means.<br \/>\nFor some people, they assume that wealth creation is having super yachts and Ferraris and traveling first-class everywhere. That\u2019s what a lot of people think wealth creation is about, but for some people, it\u2019s just as simple as being able to live a comfortable retirement \u2013 having the bills paid, fixing the car when it breaks down, and having maybe a cleaner come in once a week \u2013 and it\u2019s not about having a lavish lifestyle. So, it really does vary for each individual.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 It\u2019s not about money, is it? It\u2019s about freedom, surely?<br \/>\n<strong>Luke:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, exactly. A lot of people assume that wealth creation is about greed and being money hungry. And you\u2019re exactly right; it\u2019s about what is it that ultimately you need in your lifestyle to actually give you that comfort?<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 How do you help people create their plan, or come to that understanding, Luke?<br \/>\n<strong>Luke:<\/strong>\u00a0 The main thing that I actually have learned over the years after speaking to thousands and thousands of different investors out there is that most people actually haven\u2019t got a really clear understanding as to how they got to where they are right now.<br \/>\nSo, what I\u2019ve actually worked out over the years is that before you can actually work out where you want to get to and what your wealth creation plan actually looks like, how did you get to where you are now?<br \/>\nA lot of people have never actually sat down and worked that out. They\u2019ve never actually sat down and worked out \u201cHow did I get to the financial position that I\u2019m at in life, and how did I get these credit cards, and how did I get this car loan and the mortgage that I\u2019m in?\u201d<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 For some people, though, they might find that difficult to put a handle on, because for most of us, we just wake up one day and we just do what we do. There\u2019s no planning to it.<br \/>\n<strong>Luke:<\/strong>\u00a0 You\u2019re exactly right. And the biggest challenge, I think, for a lot of people out there that most people want to, at some level, improve their life and improve their lifestyle. They want to improve their financial situation for their family, or they want to help charities, or whatever it might be, or they want to leave a legacy when they leave the planet. But at the end of the day, most people aren\u2019t really taught how to work on their financial life to get better results.<br \/>\nAnd so, what most people are doing is going out there and they\u2019re reading magazines and reading the newspaper and they\u2019re researching online to try and find a silver bullet or something that\u2019s actually going to give them the financial returns that they\u2019re after.<br \/>\nBut what we\u2019ve found is that most people out there, they\u2019re actually not basing that on anything. So, they\u2019re chasing high returns, or they\u2019re chasing the next hotspot, but they\u2019re not actually relating that back to their own personal situation.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 Because they don\u2019t have a plan. Who helps you develop a plan? Who do you need on your team?<br \/>\n<strong>Luke:<\/strong>\u00a0 It\u2019s a tricky one, because there\u2019s no real people out there who are just focused on developing a plan. A financial planner that will be able to help you to a certain extent. I\u2019m not a financial planner; I don\u2019t want to be one. But a financial planner will be able to talk about your insurances and your life insurance and your TPD and things like that, and they\u2019ll be able to talk to you about certain financial products, but they can\u2019t talk about direct property, which is a $7 trillion industry. It\u2019s funny that they can\u2019t even talk about the biggest industry that we have here in Australia. So, it\u2019s funny that financial planners can\u2019t help you on a true plan.<br \/>\nYour accountant will help you a little bit as far as tax planning, but they\u2019re not going to help you with your investment and your wealth creation plan. They\u2019ll help you on getting the best tax outcome from that, but they\u2019re not going to help you on a full holistic plan. Your mortgage broker is going to help you to a certain extent, but your mortgage broker, again, they\u2019re just there to get you the best loan product to suit your end goals.<br \/>\nAnd all of those professionals will touch on what your goals are and what you want to achieve through getting your tax returns done and through getting your next loan and through getting your insurances up to date, but what they won\u2019t do is actually do a full plan on working out how you got to where you\u2019re at in your financial life and where you want to get to in your financial life.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 So, who will?<br \/>\n<strong>Luke:<\/strong>\u00a0 Who will? Look, Matt and I actually started The Property Mentors business a few years ago, because as property investors ourselves, we actually went out there and did what most investors do. They\u2019re going out there looking for the next shiny object, and they\u2019re chasing high returns, and they\u2019re chasing the next hot spot, and they\u2019re trying to manufacture growth, which is what people hear in a lot of these articles and magazines, that you need to go out there and do renovations and subdivisions and try and do stuff that you may not have the experience to do.<br \/>\nSo, what Matt and I did is we actually stripped back the whole property investment space and said \u201cWhat do we like out of it? What works for people? What doesn\u2019t work for people? And how can we actually bring to the market something that actually genuinely helps people for the long-term?\u201d<br \/>\nSee, what we found was there\u2019s a lot of companies out there that are&#8230; A lot of them do have good intentions and want to do the right thing, but there are also the sharks and the cowboys, as we call them, that are out there looking for the unsophisticated investors.<br \/>\nWhat we did is we thought \u201cLet\u2019s look at property investment for the long-term,\u201d which is what we\u2019ve done. We\u2019re long-term property investors, so as such, let\u2019s set out a business that can actually help investors long-term and teach them about how they\u2019re making financial decisions in their life. Let\u2019s look at how they got to where their financial position is. So, how did you get the credit card debt? How did you make those decisions?<br \/>\nAnd what we actually did is put together a really solid system to actually educate people around their financial decisions that they\u2019re making and how to really work out to get from where you\u2019re at right now, to where you want to get to.<br \/>\nBut before we start investing, Kevin, it\u2019s about setting out your point B position. To get from point A to point B, you have to know exactly where you want to go. The same as if you jump in the car and you want to go to a destination you\u2019ve never been before, you can punch the destination into your GPS these days, and the GPS will recalibrate and guide you the fastest and most efficient way.<br \/>\nThat\u2019s exactly why we\u2019re here at The Property Mentors, to help people to get from their point A to their point B position faster and safer and more predictably than what they\u2019ve been doing.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 Always good talking to you, Luke. Thank you very much for your time. Luke Harris there, from The Property Mentors. I appreciate your time, mate.<br \/>\n<strong>Luke:<\/strong>\u00a0 Thanks, Kevin.<\/p>\n<h2>Shop your bank &#8211;\u00a0Siobhan Hayden<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 I\u2019m still amazed at how many people in property \u2013 let\u2019s talk about investors for a moment \u2013 still don\u2019t understand the importance or the benefits of shopping around when you\u2019re borrowing money, even if you\u2019ve got an existing loan, to shop around and make some comparisons.<br \/>\nI want to talk about a website called HashChing, which we\u2019ve mentioned in the show before. It\u2019s a portal that\u2019s totally free and puts you in touch with some of their partnered mortgage brokers so that you can get the best deal possible. Talking to me about this, the COO for HashChing, Siobhan Hayden.<br \/>\nSiobhan, thank you very much for your time.<br \/>\n<strong>Siobhan:<\/strong>\u00a0 Thanks for having me.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 Tell me about HashChing. How did it come about?<br \/>\n<strong>Siobhan:<\/strong>\u00a0 Look, I\u2019ll start with the explanation for the name. So, HashChing is the merger of two words \u2013 hashtag and cha-ching. I think as an Australian business, we\u2019re acutely aware that customers love to tag things on social media that they care about, so that\u2019s the hashtag. And cha-ching is, no one should really over-pay for the privilege of owning their own home. So, we want to save people money where possible. So, HashChing is where the name came from.<br \/>\nWhere it started, the founding director of the business was actually an executive with a large bank, one of the major banks in Australia, and had secured a home loan for himself with a staff discount and was really shocked to learn that his friend, who didn\u2019t even work in banking, had got a better mortgage rate from his own bank, which shocked him.<br \/>\nHe was thinking \u201cI\u2019m an executive. How is this possible?\u201d And it worked out that his friend, who worked in the IT industry, had gone through a mortgage broker.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 And that\u2019s how it all started.<br \/>\n<strong>Siobhan:<\/strong>\u00a0 That\u2019s how it all started. The other add-on, of course, is that the founding member looked at all of the options on the internet, which is where most people start doing their research, and it was very confusing.<br \/>\nThere were lots of options, there were lots of rates, lots of forms to fill out. Some of them made you fill out forms for a long time, and then you weren\u2019t able to borrow through that channel, or you were instantly introduced to the lender that you didn\u2019t really want to go with.<br \/>\nAnd then when he started looking at mortgage brokers, he also identified that there were no credentials, no ratings and reviews, and found it quite astonishing that we rate the driver of a car for 15 kilometers but we don\u2019t have any feedback on a broker that\u2019s helped a customer transact a $1 million mortgage.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 Siobhan, do you think this is the reason why, as I said at the outset, that there are so few people who actually understand the benefits of shopping around. Is it because it gets too hard?<br \/>\n<strong>Siobhan:<\/strong>\u00a0 It\u2019s a good point, Kevin. I think most people know that refinancing or getting a loan is a bit of a heartache. It\u2019s a bit of a pain in the bum. Let\u2019s be honest. So, I think we\u2019re looking for the path of least resistance, and there\u2019s so much noise in the media and on the Internet about cheap rates and what does that mean?<br \/>\nAnd there are so many features to different rates, that people are just simply not aware of: redraw facilities, additional repayments, offsets, credit cards, ATM access. There\u2019s a whole range of things that people need to digest, understand, and then also work out whether it\u2019s right for you.<br \/>\nI think the benefit of a broker\u2026 And you know, nearly 60% of all new residential lending in Australia is assisted or introduced by mortgage brokers, and that participation of brokers in Australia has consistently increased year on year for the last 20 years, because the option outside of that is to really walk into a branch.<br \/>\nSo, really, the two options are like light and dark. Brokers work with you, they\u2019re across multiple lender products, not just one lender, which is of great benefit to customers, and then they do really help you go through all the paperwork and navigate that pain point. So, brokers are the preferred option.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes. One of the questions I was going to ask you is how do you find a good broker, and I can understand that the answer to that would be \u201cWell, go through HashChing.\u201d So, can I then ask you, how does HashChing choose its brokers?<br \/>\n<strong>Siobhan:<\/strong>\u00a0 Well, I personally vet everybody! No. Look, we have a number of hurdles. A broker working with HashChing or partnering with HashChing has to have a minimum of three years\u2019 experience or more. On our dashboard today, we have average years of experience of 10.8 years. So, first off, you need to understand all the lender products, and policy, which are relevant to different customers.<br \/>\nThen the ability for that broker to be able to be efficient and sharp and deal with customers on the phone. It\u2019s a very different conversation on the phone than it is when you meet someone face to face. So, the ability to build rapport. And access to some great deals.<br \/>\nOnce we have all those, we get them onto the dashboard, and then we start introducing them to customers and monitoring their performance \u2013 particularly, customers\u2019 feedback at the end, with their ratings and reviews.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 Tell me about some of this feedback. What is the feedback you\u2019re getting from consumers about the process?<br \/>\n<strong>Siobhan:<\/strong>\u00a0 Well, it\u2019s excellent. People on Facebook, we have 36,000, I think, likes on Facebook, and followers, 3000 customer reviews on different brokers, and elements such as \u201cI really thought I didn\u2019t have a chance. My own bank said no to me. My broker was amazing. I didn\u2019t realize they could be that great.\u201d<br \/>\nBrokers helping customers go to auction. So, really going above and beyond, outside the normal remit of a broker. But, you know, \u201cHeld my hand at an auction and made sure I didn\u2019t go beyond what I could, and I was so nervous, and my broker helped me.\u201d<br \/>\nSo, a whole range of really great comments from customers. And really, that\u2019s what it\u2019s about. If brokers are the preferred service channel, it\u2019s about how brokers are now distinguishing that service with their customers, because really they do get additional customers from referrals, so that\u2019s how their business works.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 How often should someone review their loan arrangement with the bank?<br \/>\n<strong>Siobhan:<\/strong>\u00a0 I think, like anything, it should be every two years. That doesn\u2019t mean you end up refinancing, but it\u2019s definitely good to have a look at what\u2019s happening. We know that interest rates have been very stable for a long time, have basically gone down or held for a very long time, but people outside of that period may be on higher rates.<br \/>\nAt HashChing, we\u2019ve definitely seen a trend of customers on a 4.7%, 4.6% being refinanced down to a 3.7% or 3.6%. And that\u2019s a substantial saving, when you\u2019re looking at the long time that you do pay off a mortgage.<br \/>\nSo, it\u2019s best to know where you\u2019re at. It\u2019s all free, no obligation. And then at least you know where you stand, and maybe in another year, you look.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes. You\u2019ve certainly got nothing to lose. The website is called HashChing.com.au.<br \/>\n<strong>Siobhan:<\/strong>\u00a0 That\u2019s correct.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 Siobhan, thank you so much for your time. Siobhan Hayden, who is the COO for HashChing. Thank you so much for your time.<br \/>\n<strong>Siobhan:<\/strong>\u00a0 Thanks for having me.<\/p>\n<h2>Building homes for the future &#8211;\u00a0Steve Sammartino<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Kevin<\/strong>: \u00a0Earlier in the show, I was having a chat to Kathleen Norris, who was one of the speakers at the UDIA Congress. Another one of those speakers is Steve Sammartino who joins me now. Steve is a futurist and a business technologist.<br \/>\nGood day, Steve. How are you doing?<br \/>\n<strong>Steve<\/strong>: \u00a0How are you?<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin<\/strong>: \u00a0Good, mate. Hey, what is a business technologist? What do you do?<br \/>\n<strong>Steve<\/strong>: \u00a0I look at the impact that technology is having on economics and businesses. You might have heard that word \u201cdisruption,\u201d but basically, I help companies mash up the pieces of the future so that they can sustain their business model and move to where people are going.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s really the mash up of new technology, emerging technology, and how they\u2019ll be used to solve people\u2019s problems and making sure that companies have the right strategy and infrastructure in place to serve their customers.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin<\/strong>: \u00a0One of the big challenges, I think, for business right now is working remotely, or this working-from-home revolution, which has been brought on, I guess, a lot by the Internet. Is that framing a lot of how business is operating now?<br \/>\n<strong>Steve<\/strong>: \u00a0It\u2019s not framing it as much as it should. And I have to tell you, for me, this is one of the opportunities for companies to save cost, have more productive and happy employees. And too few of them are embracing it.<br \/>\nI think the reason that they\u2019re not embracing it is because we have this industrial mindset where we see the manager walking around with a clipboard making sure everyone\u2019s doing what they\u2019re told, treating people like children, maybe, instead of adults.<br \/>\nIf you think about the corporate Taj Mahals that many companies have, they could be a lot smaller. And yes, we need social interaction, but I don\u2019t think we need to hop in a traffic jam every day to go and sit next to someone five days a week just to do our work and then drive home in a traffic jam. We could shrink offices and work remotely far more often than we do.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin<\/strong>: \u00a0That\u2019s very old thinking, isn\u2019t it, the thinking of walking around with that clipboard and so on? But don\u2019t you think the younger generation of business owner or entrepreneur is certainly changing the way that we do business, Steve?<br \/>\n<strong>Steve<\/strong>: \u00a0Yes, they are, absolutely. And if you see small companies and startups, they tend to be far more remote and mobile with their workforce<br \/>\nIn some ways, you could actually say that the revolution we\u2019re living through is almost a mobility revolution. It\u2019s mobility of ideas, of information, of currency, of products, being able to ship things around the world, so that mobility there, and it should be the same for workforces.<br \/>\nStartups tend to have that, and smaller companies, but big established companies, it\u2019s very, very rare. The only super-big company that I can think of that has no offices is WordPress. This company, WordPress, they host 24% of the Internet, and they don\u2019t have an office. They\u2019re a multibillion-dollar company with no office. You work from wherever you want to work from and when people need to get together, they just jump on a plane and work on a project or catch up when they need to.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin<\/strong>: \u00a0Yes, it\u2019s interesting stuff. This, of course, is a property show, so I\u2019m interested to hear from you how you see this impacting how we build our homes and how we live in the future in our homes, Steve.<br \/>\n<strong>Steve<\/strong>: \u00a0I think that in terms of property, you\u2019re going to see massive capital growth in what I call the exurbs. An exurb is a place that might be one or two to three hours away from a major city, but often a place of great beauty. Maybe there\u2019s a beach or a hillside or a lake or it\u2019s on the river, and you can get a bigger place for far less money.<br \/>\nYou\u2019ll probably work, still, in a major city for a major corporation, but you\u2019ll work from home three days a week. You\u2019ll hop in your autonomous car \u2013 or your rolling office, I should call it \u2013 and slide your way in to the city for those two meeting days. But you\u2019ll be at home more often. You\u2019ll have a setup at home with virtual reality goggles in your place that\u2019s bigger than what you can afford in the city and more luxurious, maybe even for half the price.<br \/>\nSo, you\u2019re going to see people move away from suburban rings and, I think, into outer areas. In much the same way that the Model T Ford invented suburbs, driverless vehicles and virtual reality are going to invent a whole new way of living where we live away from major cities or right inside of them.<br \/>\nI think another thing that will happen, too, is that the major cities will become less about offices and corporations and more about living right in the major city, as well. So, it\u2019s going to be ride in and ride out.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin<\/strong>: \u00a0That raises another point that I wanted to ask you about, and that is for those people who have invested in those big-city offices spaces, what\u2019s going to happen to those? Will they be converted into living spaces?<br \/>\n<strong>Steve<\/strong>: \u00a0Yes, I think many of them\u2026 And you\u2019re already seeing it now in the major cities around Australia where many of them are getting converted into living spaces.<br \/>\nYou\u2019re going to see what we saw with the factories. As the factories closed down, what did they become? Groovy inner-city warehouse apartments and that type of thing. You\u2019re going to see that with skyscrapers, as well, that have cubicle farms inside of them. They\u2019re going to evaporate.<br \/>\nAnd the reason they\u2019ll evaporate is because big companies are driven by the spreadsheet and the cost of doing business. And you can pay someone maybe less and the person doesn\u2019t need to earn as much if they work somewhere away from the city. And you can have virtual offices because it doesn\u2019t cost anything. The tools of production in an office are so much lower, we don\u2019t have to centralize them.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin<\/strong>: \u00a0Steve, great talking to you. Steve Sammartino. Steve is a futurist, and he\u2019s been our guest today.<br \/>\nSteve, thanks very much for your time.<br \/>\n<strong>Steve<\/strong>: \u00a0Absolute pleasure.<\/p>\n<h2>Your first property &#8211; a guide &#8211;\u00a0Lauren Robinson<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 In the show, I love the opportunity to talk to people who have written books, because I have great admiration for them \u2013 I said that to my next guest before we started the interview \u2013 because I know how difficult it is to get a book off the ground.<br \/>\nThe book I\u2019m referring to is simply called <em>Rented: Everything You Need to Know to Succeed With Your First Investment Property<\/em>. It\u2019s written by Lauren Robinson, who is a property manager, has her own property management business. It\u2019s called Rental Results. She is the CEO and founder of that company, and she joins me now.<br \/>\nLauren, congratulations and thanks for your time.<br \/>\n<strong>Lauren:<\/strong>\u00a0 Thanks very much, Kevin. I appreciate you having me on.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 That\u2019s okay. What prompted you to write the book?<br \/>\n<strong>Lauren:<\/strong>\u00a0 The reason why is because we often to speak to new clients or new property investors and we always get asked the same questions. So, it was more to educate people on the whole process of making sure your investment is successful.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 What is the question you\u2019re commonly asked?<br \/>\n<strong>Lauren:<\/strong>\u00a0 A lot of people just do not know where to start and what is the process to make sure that they actually do have an investment that is successful. So, in the book, I provide a basic structure of property management as well as tips and procedures for first-time investors and what they can do to develop and manage their rental property.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 You have five strategic steps or stages that you go through. We won\u2019t be able go through each of those in detail; I suggest that you pick the book up and have a look at it. It\u2019s a really easy read, and you could read it in a matter of a couple of hours or a day. But there\u2019s a lot that you would refer back to. It\u2019s one of those books, I think, that you would pick up and refer back to it because there\u2019s a lot of information in here.<br \/>\nThe first stage is the investment stage, which is the foundation for any good investment.<br \/>\n<strong>Lauren:<\/strong>\u00a0 Exactly. The book has checklists at the end of each stage, so it\u2019s really easy to follow and you can tick things off as you go.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 Take me through the various stages that you think someone should be considering. The first is the investment decision. Is that the why?<br \/>\n<strong>Lauren:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes. The first thing is when you\u2019re looking to invest, most people either invest in shares or property or a business. Property, a lot of people really love purchasing property, so it just runs through that first decision.<br \/>\nAnd it\u2019s really important to make sure you surround yourself with property professionals, so have all those people, like your mortgage brokers, your financial planners, your quantity surveyors, your accountant, everyone lined up so that once you make that decision or you\u2019re looking around and you think you\u2019ve found that property, you\u2019ve got the right knowledge and back-up support around you to make that decision.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 Once you do that, you then have to move into setting it up for yourself \u2013 don\u2019t you \u2013 setting up your business?<br \/>\n<strong>Lauren:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, making sure you have the right structure that\u2019s going to suit you. That\u2019s definitely where your accountant comes in. It\u2019s really important to know the market and what\u2019s a reasonable price because you want to make sure you\u2019re not paying too much or have an understanding of what the expenses are going to be in order to maintain that property to get it up to the right standard to attract a quality tenant.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 A lot of the things that we talk about here in this interview and that you discuss in the book will come down to the choice of getting a really good property manager. I know an accountant is important, but at the end of the day, it\u2019s the management of that property that\u2019s the key thing. That\u2019s what I would think, anyway, Lauren.<br \/>\n<strong>Lauren:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, I 100% agree. That\u2019s why I\u2019m in the business. The second stage is setting up your investment property, so it\u2019s choosing the right property manager for you. There is a checklist again in there, learning the type of demographic and the likely rental return so that you can maximize that rent that you\u2019re going to get on your investment.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 And making sure it\u2019s productive. I guess, once again, you get the right property manager and it will become productive and it will become efficient, because I think while you can\u2019t have no relationship with the tenant, it\u2019s always best to have an arm\u2019s-length relationship, so you need to know your property manager is managing it efficiently.<br \/>\n<strong>Lauren:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, definitely. And you want to make sure you have the confidence that that property manager knows the legislation, they\u2019re professional. I have an investment property myself and I personally don\u2019t manage it because I find it\u2019s difficult to manage your own investment. It is much better to have someone else in the middle working on your behalf, who understands the legislation, who can deal with that. It just takes the emotion out of it.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 Stage four is the transition, and I think this is really where you\u2019re going to tell if you get a good property manager. I always believe that the properties that we have that are managed, if our property manager is pushing us to maintain it well, I know they have my best interest at heart and I feel confident they\u2019re looking after it well.<br \/>\n<strong>Lauren:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, exactly. There are a lot of things that can be done, like preventative maintenance to ensure that things don\u2019t escalate and all of a sudden, you have quite a large expense on your hands that could have been dealt with months prior. Yes, it\u2019s about minimizing those large expenses, as well.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 I do think anyone listening to this who has rental properties, if you\u2019re experiencing any kind of difficulty with them \u2013 in other words, if the tenants are always complaining or if they\u2019re falling behind on their rent or you\u2019re just having hassles with it \u2013 I can guarantee you that you\u2019re with the wrong rental manager, because that\u2019s the litmus test for us. If we can not \u201cset and forget,\u201d but if we don\u2019t have any hassles, I know it\u2019s being managed well.<br \/>\n<strong>Lauren:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, exactly right. It\u2019s inevitable that things are going to pop up during the tenancy, but obviously, if you have the right property manager working with you, then you can make the decision that\u2019s in your best interest to get things dealt with quickly.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 Stage five of the book deals with getting a return, and I don\u2019t mean an ongoing return; I\u2019m talking about when, and if, you decide to sell the property \u2013 when you sell it, how you sell it, the sort of questions you should ask. I find that\u2019s also an important part, because when you go into something, you have to plan your exit. You have to know what your exit plan is all about, don\u2019t you?<br \/>\n<strong>Lauren:<\/strong>\u00a0 Definitely. And knowing the property clock and when is the best time to sell your property to get the return. In that stage, we also provide a checklist for preparing your property for sale if it\u2019s tenanted.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 There\u2019s a checklist for everything. And you\u2019ll find it all inside the book called <em>Rented<\/em>. It\u2019s written by Lauren Robinson and I strongly suggest\u2026<br \/>\nWhereabouts can we get the book? Is it at all good bookstores, or is it online?<br \/>\n<strong>Lauren:<\/strong>\u00a0 It\u2019s online. There\u2019s a Kindle version or you can buy paperback. We have a website called RentedBook.com.au.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 Or if you go to the website RentalResults.com.au, all the information will be there, no doubt.<br \/>\n<strong>Lauren:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, definitely.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:<\/strong>\u00a0 Good on you, Lauren. Great talking to you and thank you very much. I love your work too, by the way.<br \/>\n<strong>Lauren:<\/strong>\u00a0 Thanks very much. Appreciate it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Highlights from this week: How a company executive was inspired to create a finance comparison site Australian definition of dangerous suburbs The 5 strategic stages of property investment A knockback from a bank is not the end of the finance line Improved safety adds value&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":176692471,"featured_media":20845,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,11,13,24],"tags":[101],"class_list":["post-20844","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kevin-turner-sponsored-channels","category-kevin-update","category-latest-story","category-shows","tag-podcast"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
