Cats Out Of Bags: The DFA Daily 17th August 2021

The latest edition of our finance and property news digest with a distinctively Australian flavour.

In today’s show we look at the RBA’s thinking on migration and wages growth, why lenders praise rising home prices, downward revisions of economic performance thanks to the extended lock-downs, risks with guarantor obligations, crypto news and New Zealand rate rises.

Today’s post is brought to you by Ribbon Property Consultants.

If you are buying your home in Sydney’s contentious market, you do not need to stand alone. This is the time you need to have Edwin from Ribbon Property Consultants standing along side you.

Buying property, is both challenging and adversarial. The vendor has a professional on their side.

Emotions run high – price discovery and price transparency are hard to find – then there is the wasted time and financial investment you make.

Edwin understands your needs. So why not engage a licensed professional to stand alongside you. With RPC you know you have: experience, knowledge, and master negotiators, looking after your best interest.

Is The Mortgage Market In For A Shock? – The DFA Daily 9th August 2021

The latest edition of our finance and property news digest with a distinctively Australian flavour.

We look at the latest signs concerning pressures on the mortgage market. Despite the RBA’s deflection that home prices are nothing to do with them, it appears mortgage tightening is on the cards. Perhaps the only question is whether regulators will pull the trigger before next year’s federal election, due in May. And meantime loan deferrals are rising as the lock down runs. Yet much of the pressure is being felt by renters, according to recent surveys, plus small businesses, while real estate companies like REA have been making hay in the booming market.

Is “Rentvesting” The Way To Go? – With George Markoski

I catch up with George Markoski, the Founder and CEO of Positive Property Solution Australia. We discuss the thorny question of property investing, and why so many investments fail, while others work well. What are the key metrics to consider, and what suburbs are best – and whats the minimum period realistically to see consistent returns?
