Show by Julian Khursigara

KEY TAKEAWAYS:Rate rises take time to bite. Jeremy explains that a rise is felt six to twelve months later, which is why buffers matter now.Judge the market by feel, not headlines. Open-home numbers, agent follow-ups and room to negotiate tell you more than front-page forecasts. Jeremy describes sentiment returning like a dimmer, not a switch.A rent super cycle may be building. At the time of recording, Jeremy saw rents in his client data rising more than 10% over 18 months, while builders were signing far fewer new contracts.Treat every property like a business. Know why you are holding, selling or buying. Jeremy shares a client example of why selling out of exhaustion can lock in a poor result.Structure follows the plan. A company can suit investors who will keep recycling capital, while owning in your own name may suit those who need the money sooner. Jeremy recommends finding a property-savvy accountant before choosing a property.Negative gearing needs a closer look. Jeremy explains what the budget changes mean for new dwellings and granny flats, and Julian and Jeremy discuss whether buyers can genuinely afford the yearly shortfall.Commercial property is less forgiving. Jeremy urges investors to look at long-term yields and vacancy history rather than face-value returns, and closes by encouraging listeners to build a plan and never be scared to sell into something better.Market figures and forecasts in this episode reflect the discussion at the time of recording, not current conditions.CHAPTERS:00:00 Rate rises, crash headlines and the rent super cycle00:43 Meet Jeremy and how he started investing03:58 Common mistakes new investors make05:21 Jeremy’s first property and judging the market by feel11:49 Why today feels like 1991-9213:44 Politics, budgets and the Victorian election16:42 The RBA rate rise to 4.85%19:33 Should you sell, hold or upsize?25:08 Tax, structures and investment companies28:51 Younger investors and the negative gearing changes32:00 Where rents are heading38:02 Value-add opportunities and granny flats40:04 The risks in commercial property43:13 What smart investors should do in the next 12 months46:57 Jeremy turns the tables on Julian48:31 Negative gearing: can you afford the shortfall?51:37 Jeremy’s final adviceFOLLOW JEREMY IANNUZZELLILinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremy-iannuzzelli-5bb6045b/ About Julian:Julian Khursigara is the CEO of Search Party Property, a Sydney-based buyers agency helping busy professionals build sustainable investment portfolios with clarity and confidence.
