7 keys to getting rich - slowly




Anthony Keane shares in the Sunday Mail on Aug 28 2023 the 7 keys to getting rich - slowly! 


  1. Become an Investor - invest in real estate, property, your own business . Begin early - as time and compound interest is a magic source in wealth creation 
  2. Leverage your investment with good tax effective  debt - use other peoples money - where the interest you pay will be covered by the income earned from your investments and tax deductions - (make sure you have a great accountant, financial and mortgage broker who work together to maximise your opportunity 
  3. Buy Property - it tends to double every 10-15 years - and easy to borrow against it at lowest interest rates 
  4. Buy a business/businesses that you understand - most billionaires started with a business idea that worked - after many had failed before striking gold 
  5. Diversify into other assets 
  6. Seek passive income - where you earn income without having to work -  such as dividends or rents 
  7. Plan - write down your plan - and monitor your progress Don a regular basis 

The IK formula  steps simplified 


Make sure that more money comes in than goes out on a monthly basis - and with that surplus 


Buy low , Sell high with other peoples money - and do it regularly. 


Don’t be afraid to take risks and fail until you succeed !

Great article /podcast on Property in USA - very relevant to Property anywhere!


Molly Wood , JCAL , Redfin CEO Glenn Kolman and Divvey CEO Adena Hefets share what’s happenning in the USA real estate market ! 



Interest rates rising, housing unaffordable, , growth doubled since 2020!!!

Divvy - rent owner company - great way to purchase a property with the support of a capital base . Individual rents a property - buyer picks a home - part of rent to purchase - pays more to own 10pc over 3 years and then takes a mortgage 
gets  people into property faster 

Redfin Online realestate  - charges 1pc - using technology to sell a property 

  • Raising interest - massive impact - debt to income ratio - you can buy less home !! Banks only lend a percentage of what you earn !!
  • Demand falling off a Cliff - currently down 30pc demand - inventory building up !
  • Tail of many cities - hitting various regions differently 
  • IBuyers , institutions , builder mark properties down weekly 
  • People can’t buy - need to rent
  • Most rental mom and pop. Not institutional - won’t sell in a hurry 
  • 15pc to 20pc increase for new tennants 
  • Land lost cost of capital increasing to cover higher costs 
  • Lower vacancy 

In Australia - openning up for  international students , building costs increasing, limited supply , government support , Airbnb back - will this put a cap on property prices 

What does this mean for property prices over next 5 years ?
