 A brief but informative episode where Mark shares his views on the rumour of crash coming and if so, why that is. He gives an overview of the current state of the market and the varied and likely reasons behind what we are seeing.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 
The market has dipped a little bit, possibly because of Omicron and also because the market has been doing a little too well previously.
If anyone is saying they can predict a crash then they are either lying or misguided. There are only two types of investors, those who can’t time the market and those who know they can’t time the market.



BEST MOMENTS 

“That’s usually how I have lost money in the past, I like buying certain stocks when I feel they’re really cheap”

Building Your Power Team

Join Mark as he gives an overview of the current news stories around property including the growth of the construction industry and his take on the favourability of first time buyers and what targets we should instead be focusing on. Mark also talks about the current rent crisis and the impact of the cost of living on landlords, investors and tenants.  


KEY TAKEAWAYS
Historically, first time buyers keep the market moving and triggered economic growth but the favourability towards them with schemes such as help to buy have been detrimental in many ways too.
The cost of construction has gone up by around a third, and this has created redundancies and collapses in the industry.
Rent rises have surged post-covid and during this current cost of living crisis but Mark is seeing indications of this now slowing as demand is starting to reduce.
Airbnb and other serviced accommodation providers have had a direct impact on housing stock. Some controls are beginning to be introduced but it’s important that these also incentivise traditional landlords to create choice and keep prices moderate.
Building on brownfield sites is a key factor in meeting any kind of house-building targets but it’s also important that the targets are focused around the right types of properties in the right areas.



BEST MOMENTS

"For decades there's been the assumption that first-time buyers prop the market up”

“First time buyers have become older”

“Construction industry whilst not mended is probably on the way to being mended after a difficult period”

“2020 was probably coming right to end to the previous cycle”

“We should be focused on the types of properties being built in the right areas”

Property Perspectives | Stop Focusing on First Time Buyers

Mark has been investing in property for 15-20 years, approaching the 100 mark in terms of deals made and has a 70 million equity stake in various portfolios. One of the questions he repeatedly gets asked, is whether it is worth using additional cash to pay of your mortgage or if it is better to invest it elsewhere. Listen in to this episode to hear his thoughts and answers to this common question.  

KEY TAKEAWAYS 
If you are even slightly disciplined you should not pay your mortgage off. If you are worried about interest rates then look at fixed rate mortgages.
If you can invest your cash somewhere else, you will earn more back on that lump sum than you will be paying in interest on your mortgage.
Property is still by far the best investment opportunity particularly in terms of lending from banks; they will always give you a great interest rate on anything you borrow. 



BEST MOMENTS 

“Why would you want to pay of your mortgage if you can get consistently good returns by investing in your isa and getting much much higher investment returns”



“You’ve got to make your money work for you, no one else will look after your money like you do”
