He also discusses the aggressive lending terms offered by new lenders in the HMO space, and how the big banks are likely to enter the market soon with more attractive rates and terms.

In this episode of The HMO Property Show, host Neil Gibb sits down with renowned property investor and author Steve McKnight.

In this in-depth episode, Neil Gibbon delves into the inner workings of the current banking system and explains how it has become broken over time. He begins by outlining how fractional reserve banking allows banks to lend money that they don’t actually have in reserves, which has expanded the money supply over the decades. Neil discusses his experiences trying to withdraw and transfer large sums of cash from banks, and how difficult they are making it for consumers to access physical money. Neil then talks about the enormous amount of money printing that central banks around the world have engaged in since the start of the COVID pandemic. He shares statistics on how over 80% of all US dollars in existence were printed in just an 18 month period from 2020 to 2021. Neil explains how this unprecedented money creation has led directly to the high inflation we are seeing today. Goods that used to cost a certain price are now much more expensive due to the devaluation of currencies as a result of the huge money supply expansion.  

The main focus of the episode is on the upcoming shift that is beginning to take place towards central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). Neil warns listeners that this transition will give banks even greater control and surveillance over consumers’ financial lives. He outlines how with a CBDC system, every single transaction a person makes could be tracked, monitored and have additional fees applied. Banks would know people’s entire spending habits down to the smallest purchases. Neil also discusses issues like “de-banking”, where certain individuals in countries like the UK are having their bank accounts closed for political reasons.

This episode discusses the sunk cost fallacy and how it can negatively impact property investors. The sunk cost fallacy causes investors to continue investing in ventures that are no longer beneficial due to the resources already invested. Common examples of how the sunk cost fallacy shows up for property investors are holding onto underperforming properties for too long or continually putting more money into a failing deal. Emotions like not wanting to admit a mistake or cut losses can keep investors stuck. Understanding opportunity costs and alternative uses for resources is key to overcoming the sunk cost mindset. Selling an underperforming property may unlock equity that could be better used elsewhere. Cash flow should be prioritized over vanity metrics like portfolio size. Breaking free involves making objective decisions based on future potential rather than past costs. Small strategic changes like selling one deal to buy better cash flowing assets can drastically improve an investor’s position and get them closer to their goals. Knowing when to cut losses is an important skill.

In this episode, Neil Gibb shares the latest housing affordability reports and data on the state of Western Australia’s property market. He analyzes trends in population growth, housing completions, rental vacancy rates and more to understand why affordability has reached record lows. Some of the key areas covered include analyzing housing affordability reports from REIA and other sources to see how WA compares nationally. Neil also looks at stats on population growth, net overseas migration, and how few new homes are being completed each year relative to demand. The current rental vacancy rate of under 1% in Perth is discussed, along with how this is the lowest in the country. With 87,000 new residents last year and only 13,000 new homes completed, it’s clear why the supply shortage exists. Interest rates rises and their impact on affordability are examined. Neil shares that WA households still only need to spend 36.7% of their income on housing costs compared to over 50% in some other states. The opportunity that HMOs provide for affordable rental accommodation is highlighted. With many essential workers now priced out of the private market, HMOs help fill an important gap. In summary, this detailed data breakdown shows why WA’s housing issues will take years rather than months to resolve, and the role property investors can play in providing much-needed supply.

Peter discusses how Openn Negotiation came to be after identifying the key issues buyers and sellers faced. He shares the journey from starting in WA to expanding internationally. Features like tenders and finance conditions make the process seamless. Data from transactions assists valuations and underwriting. Growth so far includes $10B in sales volume across 25,000+ properties. Future plans involve expanding into Asia and rentals.

This week I am giving you a glimpse into my journey. People often ask how I got to where I am as they are keen to get into Property Investment themselves. I am here to confirm that asking is definitely a step in the right direction. If any of you follow some of the big mentors out there they will all offer similar advice. Find a mentor, ask questions, research and then do! I am by no means a Warren Buffet, Robert Kiyosaki or Gary V, but I do have some insights I feel worth sharing, that may just help you start, or continue on your journey. Today’s episode is all about raising capital to do property deals. For some this is the hardest part and that’s because of the common misconception that you need money to make money. Whilst this is correct to a degree it doesn’t necessarily mean you need to use your own money!

The question is – “Can I purchase a HMO or NDIS positive cashflow investment property using my SMSF” and the answer is YES! We listened and decided to do a bit of digging into the most efficient, smart and beneficial way to achieve this. I have heard of some companies charging $150k or more for this service but in the best interest of the HMO Property Co clients we have found a solution which I explain in this short but value added episode.

2023 is set to be another big year of opportunities.   To start, let’s take a look at a market update of what we can expect in 2023 and beyond.  This is my view and maybe in contrast to what some of the big guns are predicting.  Some of you may know that I started investing in 2017, whilst working FIFO.  Investing in HMO (housing of multiple occupation) is where I started. Shared Housing was what was needed – the gap.  It is still very much the gap and a significantly growing gap offering market resilient opportunities in Perth right now.

It’s been a busy and dynamic year in the property investing space with Australian’s dealing with inflation, rate hikes, housing shortages, skills shortages, international wars, covid, trade and material shortages and a bunch of other factors.
