This is one of the problems I have with the news and why, in fact I started doing these things in 2006 so that was 14 years ago, because I was frustrated with the headlines back in 2006 which when you think about it 2006, 2007, 2008 we had the recession.

What would be your most valuable advice for a newbie property investor?
My most valuable advice, I think actually I probably should have left that one until we went to the young, talking about the young and low income people.
What would be the most valuable advice, is learn what you can right now because you are living through, effectively a recession. And it’s very easy to do property when everything is going well but the problem is you create an ego where you think you may do one transaction and make money out of that. The problem I have is when you make money on your first deal and I’m not saying that you shouldn’t.
The biggest thing is living through a recession now, learn from it, watch what people are predicting and track and see if it actually comes true and what happens with it. And I think the big thing here is that a lot of people when times are good they buy a property and they do well and they think right, I know how to do property and then what happens, they don’t account for recession, they don’t account for interest rate rises, they don’t account for all different types of legislation changes and what ends up happening is effectively you end up with this arrogance and when you go into recession you get your ass kicked.
My biggest thing would be get educated, really get out there and learn as much as possible. But don’t be afraid of taking a risk now and buying a property and getting involved. The key is you get to view it for the long term if you're only in it for a short term then now is not the time to necessarily get involved. Now is the time to get really educated, now is the time to get it all squared away and make sure you understand finance, you understand the process, you understand how to let a property and how to manage a property and do all these sorts of things. If you are not prepared to do that get a team of professionals, people that know what they are doing to help you out. Hopefully that helps and explains.
