You may hear property people shout out things like, “cash flow positive”, “massive returns”, “yada yada”...

But in this episode, I break down the actual costs you could expect, weekly cash flow position, and long-term capital growth projections - so you can confidently plan your property investing strategy for 2025 and beyond.

Buying an investment property seems like a pathway to immediate passive income.

But the reality is more complex.

Many first-time investors face weekly holding costs before their property becomes cashflow positive.

By understanding the true financial commitment upfront - including stamp duty costs, land tax, and property management fees - you’ll avoid costly surprises and make smarter decisions about growing your property portfolio.

In this comprehensive episode, I analyse a real-world $650,000 investment property scenario, breaking down:

✅Upfront purchasing costs across multiple Australian states (WA, VIC, QLD, NSW)

✅Ongoing weekly cash flow analysis and holding cost breakdown

✅How rental yields between 3.8% to 4.5% impact your returns

✅Negative gearing tax benefits and depreciation realities

✅Long-term growth forecasts using conservative projections

✅How to estimate your timeline for achieving positive cash flow in property investing

You'll also learn why even properties that cost money each week can still generate substantial wealth.

Most property investors never make it past their first purchase - and buying the wrong property could be exactly what keeps you stuck in that statistic.

In this eye-opening episode, property investment and rentvesting expert Steve Williams reveals why 71% of investors own just one property - and never progress to building real wealth through real estate.

Drawing from 16 years of investing experience and his own costly mistakes, Steve breaks down exactly what makes a property a "dud" - and it's not what most people think.

You'll discover:

• Why that beautiful coastal property might be a portfolio killer
• How to spot investment traps like NDIS housing schemes
• Why sometimes the ugliest house on the street delivers the best returns

Steve also shares his personal story of holding an underperforming Melbourne apartment for 12 years before making the tough decision to sell - a move that unlocked $200,000 in growth within just two years.

Plus, you'll learn the critical supply and demand metrics that separate wealth-building assets from money pits…

And get a practical framework for evaluating whether your current property is helping or hindering your investment goals.
