In this episode of Property Pals, Jaryd Krause and Sam Powell discuss common myths and misconceptions about property investing.

They cover topics such as the need for a lot of money to start investing, the difference between good and bad debt, the idea that renting is dead money, the myth of only investing within a 10-kilometre radius of a CBD, and the misconception that flipping properties is easy money.

They provide insights and debunk these myths, emphasising the importance of individual circumstances and proper research.

Lastly, they debunk the myth that one is too old to start investing, emphasising that age should not be a barrier and that there are options available for all stages of life.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• You don't need a lot of money to start investing in property; even a small deposit can get you started.
  
  
• There is good debt and bad debt; leveraging debt for investment purposes can be beneficial.
  
  
• Renting is not necessarily dead money; it can be a strategic financial decision depending on individual circumstances.
  
  
• Investing outside a 10-kilometre radius of a CBD can still be profitable, especially with the flexibility of remote work.
  
  
• Flipping properties is not easy money; it requires careful planning, market knowledge, and understanding of the risks involved.
  
  
• Cash flow is important, but it's not the sole determinant of a successful investment; consider long-term goals and potential for capital growth.
  
  
• New and off-the-plan properties may not always make good investments; older properties in established locations can offer better land value and growth potential.
  
  
• Interest rates should be considered, but other factors such as loan structure and flexibility are also important.
  
  
• Age should not be a barrier to starting property investment; there are options available for all stages of life.
