In this episode of “Leading and Growing Your Real Estate Business,” Coach James Short interviews Bobby Haeri from the Investors Agency. They discuss the agency’s background, clientele, and the benefits of investing through self-managed super funds (SMSF). They also touch on the current market trends and potential risks in real estate investing.
Highlights
The Investors Agency, founded in 2018-2019, has experienced significant growth and focuses on helping everyday Aussies purchase investment properties across Australia.
Investing through SMSF is becoming popular due to the volatility of regular super funds and the leverage it offers.
The agency caters to a range of clients, including first home buyers, rent vesters, and those looking to tap into their home equity.
The agency is currently focused on Metropolitan Perth, Metropolitan Adelaide (with plans for a slowdown in the next 3 years), and Regional Queensland due to their diverse economies and growth potential.
Sydney and Melbourne markets have bottomed out, but high debt-to-income ratios and affordability issues may hinder significant growth until interest rates drop or wages increase.
❓ The main challenge for the agency is educating clients about the possibilities and benefits of investing outside their own backyard.
⚠️ Risks in real estate investing include external factors like another pandemic or recession, inflation, and potential interest rate increases
