Ep. 2: 16 Big Risks In Property Investing (And How To Avoid Them)

Just how risky is property investing? 
It probably comes as no surprise that there’s risk with every investment – and property is no different. 
You have market risk, property risk, and financial risk... but the question is: What’s lurking within each of these that can derail the success of a property investor? 
Most “experts” and gurus out there are trying to sell you something. And in a lot of instances, it’s their service (even if they’re giving you heaps of free “value” - they want you in their door). This means they’re not so upfront with you about the actual risks in property investing. They want you to invest, right? 
And then there’s the other camp... they’re well-meaning, but simply have no idea what they’re doing. 
Here's the unvarnished reality: It’s not all smooth sailing. 
There's risk involved. We’ve identified 16. And there’s stuff you have control over and then stuff you don’t. Join us as we reveal these risks and provide solutions to navigate them, saving you time and money. 
Episode Highlights: 
00:27 – RISK #1: General Market Risk (the external risks...) 
00:41 – RISK #2: Interest Rates (we’re feeling this atm) 
02:11 – RISK #3: Location Risk (avoid the risk of oversupply!) 
03:40 – RISK #4: Legislation Risk (negative gearing would sit under this one) 
05:32 – RISK #5: Area Economic Risk (the health & stability is important here!) 
08:22 – RISK #6: Supply & Demand Dynamics (avoid greenfield estates for this one!) 
11:00 – RISK #7: New Infrastructure (like the highways 🤦🏼‍♂️) 
13:06 – RISK #8: Environmental Risk (big for properties up North) 
13:48 – RISK #9: Market Sentiment (perception is everything!) 
14:48 – RISK #10: Actual Property Risk (the address, the address...) 
16:22 – RISK #11: Tenant Risk (you can try your best...) 
17:26 – RISK #12: Property Management Risk (… this one happened to Damo!) 
18:48 – RISK #13: Repair Risk (can often be impacted by the tenant.) 
18:59 – RISK #14: Leverage Risk (or you could call it “financial risk”) 
21:03 – RISK #15: Planning Risk (it always comes down to cashflow) 
23:59 – RISK #16: Advice Risk (make sure you ask these questions!)
