We all know that real estate is a long-term investment. So, what were the best-performing suburbs over the last couple of decades?

They may not be the ones that you’d first think of.

Today’s I chat with Bret Warren about what made certain suburbs outperform over the last couple of decades.

I’m also going to have a chat with an SAS commando.

Why? This is a show about property and success and money, but most of us are being affected by a form of hostage situation – COVID-19.

So who better to tell us how to handle a hostage situation when you’ve got a terrorist that you can’t even see than someone who’s put his life on the line more often than he’s had a hot dinner?

We’re going to have an interesting chat with Mick Donaldson.

Highlights from Brett Warren’s research on the best performing suburbs

Would you like to know which suburbs are going to outperform over the next 20 years?

Well, maybe a good starting point is to understand which suburbs outperformed over the past two decades.

The principles we’re going to discuss today are relevant for all property markets.

  • Past history is not always a good indicator of future growth, but at least it’s a starting place for our research.
    • The longer the past history, the more accurate predictor of future performance it will be.
    • Most investors only research back five years or so
    • Go back a minimum of 20 years – and if possible 40 years, however, it’s important to understand how a suburb has changed in that time – might have gentrified, new infrastructure, etc.
  • Some suburbs in Brisbane have performed more than 400% over a 20-year period.
  • Understanding what the top-performing suburbs have in common
  • What investment horizon means
  • How a property investor can out-perform the market
  • What will drive property prices moving forward

Some of the topics I discuss with Mick Donaldson

  • Mick’s background
  • How COVID has affected Mick
  • The stages you go through when you get a shock like COVID
  • What you can control in a survival situation
  • The options in a hostage situation
  • Maintaining a level of control
  • Mick’s acronym: PEARL
    • Perseverance
    • Equanimity
    • Agility
    • Resilience
    • Leadership
