[Podcast] Property prices can’t keep rising at the same rate they used to; with Stuart Wemyss

March 3, 20211 min read

Property values can’t keep rising!

It’s all a Ponzi scheme and is going to come crashing down around us!

The only reason our property markets have survived COVID-19 is because of bank and government support.

That’s some of the commentary you’ll find in the media and over the internet at present and on the other hand, you’ll find many experienced property commentators saying we’re at the beginning of a new property cycle, one where property values will rise considerably.

My top insights into accelerated wealth creation

March 2, 20211 min read

Today I wanted to share my top wealth creating insights.

Ones I learned from our premier property training event – our 5 day Wealth Retreat.

You see…

As I start preparing the curriculum for this year’s event that will be held on the Gold Coast in June this year (this will be a great event as we missed out last year because of CoVid) I’ve been reviewing my notes from previous years and spending a lot of time chatting with past attendees of Wealth Retreat.

As I spoke to many of them I was blown away and humbled by the feedback as they explained how Wealth Retreat had changed the way they handle their investments, business and in fact many aspects of their life and how it was the best event they had ever attended.

Now that’s high praise indeed from people who are already successful property investors, … Read more
