Understanding the rhythm and cycle of the property market is obviously extremely beneficial to property developers so you can plan the best time to deliver projects and maximise profits. Being aware of when the market is likely to boom or go bust can help you ride out the cycles and endure over the long term. Today’s guest is Phillip Anderson from Property Sharemarket Economics. Phil is the author of the book The Secret Life of Real Estate and Banking, an investment analyst and an investor. Phil’s book outlines a seemingly recurring economic cycle that takes around 18 years to complete and has a major impact on the property market. Understanding the rhythm and cycle of the market is obviously extremely beneficial to property developers so I wanted to have this conversation to help you with your investing and developing. I think there are some great insights from Phil’s work and I wanted to have this conversation to help you with your investing and developing. We discuss: - the 18 year real estate cycle and how it affects property developers - Phil’s thoughts on where we are in the cycle and what’s coming in the next few years; and - how to get set to maximise the potential opportunities that may be on the horizon. I really enjoyed speaking with Phil and I hope it sparks some interest and curiosity. I will preface it by saying nothing in this conversation is financial advice, you need to do your own research and investigation before making any investment decisions.
