Yes! Give a a deal! I want a property that will give me around 4.5% yield or more. And have the property rise in price by around 35 to 40% over ten years. Ravi, give me a deal! Give me the address!
Times have changed and choices have changed We now live in a world of no gatekeepers and can embrace different money making opportunities and investment opportunities The fundamentals of finance are still timeless and yes everyone ideally would like to own their own home but now you can live work and retire anywhere Agreed retirement is no longer a dream, a fulfilling passionate life is, and frankly you can retire in Bali or Vietnam or Anywhere and live comfortably on a lot less than Australia allows Great Interview Change is the only constant
This was a fantastic episode!, Rami’s made me think differently with his RUclips vids, and I’m in my early 40’s starting to invest!, and building our first Home!.
Great interview and first time I have come across Ravi but found him down to Earth and knowledgeable. Love the way Mark treats his guests with so much respect and humility.
Good on you Ravi. I wish we had the financial education before we became adults. Hats off to you. 1 word advice! "Regional" Hervey bay is starting to boom with a gazillion homes being built.
Two favourite finance people in one video! Not sure if there will be cures for most conditions when there is so much money to be made from treating conditions.
I've been following Ravi since his beginnings and his contents are amazingly resourceful. Well done Ravi! Rentvesting is definitely a new mindset and a new way on how to invest in property.
Ravi, you basically spoke on behalf of many of my mates including me. I am exactly the same demographic doing exactly what you said. The interviewer asked you how many people actually WFH but this is also me, working fully remote interstate whilst taking advantage of lower living costs in another geographic location. It’s actually much bigger than most people know about.
Congrats Ravi for making it on to Mark's Podcast. I am a long time subscriber of both channels. You have made the big time now! Next you will be on mainstream TV.
Boys this was such a good interview, this just came up on my feed randomly. The algorithm lords decided to serve it to me. I appreciated hearing Marks thinking behind what Ravi was saying and how he approaches finances. I'm a 33 year old male, married with 2 beautiful kids of 6 and 8. I work my day job part time 4 days a week and the other day I have 6 clients that I do work for in Digital Marketing. I'm very much in this work and earn money from side hustles mentality simply because this is the only way for me to earn and save for a first home deposit. The interview confirms a lot of things for me and also has challenged my thinking that maybe I'm doing things the wrong way but looks like most people around my age around doing similar things. Love it guys, we need more of these conversations for the young 20s and 30 year olds running this marathon. It's tough, we don't know where it'll end but we got to stick to our guns and keep moving forward!
I live in melton victoria 40 km away from melbourne. Its the 4th cheapest suburb in australia but climbing. So to buy a house here you need to be making about 100,000 a year at least. So that the top 10% of men to buy the 4 th cheapest in australia. So who the hell is buying everywhere else and how. Someone please explain
Great open discussion, definitely no financial literacy in schools. I've been teaching my kids... Thank you for taking the time to share your professional 😊experiences with us.
Hi Mark, Have watched you for some time, I’m 63 & stared in RE in Potts Point in 77. Your selection of your guests & also your enquiries are as I would ask. I look at a big variety of blogs & this young Ravi is very good with a slight caveat. That he is an influencer & has a buyers agent agenda appears to have not a great influence on his honest opinions. Great interview. I work in the Retirement Village space but have two kids at 20 & 22 already saving for property. It’s complex.
Can you cover the concept of “the dream home”? I don’t believe it exists because Aussies move as their lives evolve. If we all rented at a reasonable rate we’d be so much more mobile and have more disposable cash to build a business or spend it on goods and services.
That's a great point which I hadn't truly considered as I encourage my son to get his snowbal going by rentvesting. Maybe we should instead encourage young people to buy locally but sharing in the cost, then sell and rebuy perhaps alone, not that joint ventures are always hassle free.
It definitely feels like one is part of the problem, not the solution. But again australia and nz are very obsessed with property. It is our kind of religion
@@imhosydney Or maybe we should instead educate young people that buying brick and mortar with a significant amount of debt (whether it's for PPOR or for investment) isn't necessarily the key to 'get the snowball going'.
Probably just me but i found it a bit preachy and broad. I did like it when Mark opened up about re assessing the concept or label of retirement. That was intruiging.
The market has normalised taking on debt at unprecedented levels . This has to be addressed . The borrower is a slave to the lender even in investment properties in this country because rental receipts it never covers the mortgage commitment.
Can you explore the “reverse engineering” of wealth building timeline idea you raised? Gen X often come into wealth much later from inheritance, but how do they maximise the 15 years to retirement with the security of “home”.
I wish that young people today, see older people the way they think they are going to be employed in their 60's now. The mind set of young people today, of a 60 yr old means they don't exist in the work place. I sure hope that changes soon, it's so difficult to be respected or even have a resume looked at now. Great that the mind set is changing 😊🎉 It's about time in this country.
Thanks for sharing this…I’m 52, with kids 21 & 19. I worry for them but they’re approaching this whole work/debt/mortgage/HECS/etc juggle in a positive way. I agree - they are thoughtful and educated, and willing to take a creative approach to a financial & housing situation that quite frankly scares me. Really appreciate the representation of age demographics in this episode. Cheers.
There is absolutely no need to be worried that much. Australia is way better than 99% of the rest of the world. Two young adults with a caring and probably well off parents shouldn't be worried at all.
What are your thoughts on business as a wealth creation? Finance seems to be so self focused on a “Me & Mine” instead of building a dynamic business culture that spreads the wealth around.
There are proven formulas that will be very hard to change. Maybe because as much as we would like to think otherwise human nature and basic human needs haven't changed much. We still need shelter of sort. We need food. We need clothes. Heck we have even invented more needs. Electricity... yes. Phones. Washing machine. Stove. Etc. And to some extent, we still have greed, envy, passions of all sorts etc. All of those require focused effort to satisfy. Unfortunately. Monks for instance who try to quench these needs and desires can survive on the equivalent of maybe 2k a year. But I digress 😅
It’s definitely an education issue. The teachers don’t know how to create generational wealth so how can they teach the student? My parents were poor, and had no investing experience. It took me until 40 years old to figure it out. Now I’m teaching my kids and hopefully break the cycle.
If people bought an automatic coffee machine at home instead of paying for overpriced bathwater coffees at cafe you too could buy a home in Sydney from all the money saved! I have!
You are right to some extent. Mainly because blaming anyone won't solve anything. It rather disarm you from the power to change your own lot in life. So better suck it in, fold your sleeves and do the F whatever you can to improve on the hands you were dealt with
@williamcrossan9333 you realize you are part of society. But mainly that blaming society won't change your lot in life...and maybe that someone in worse off situation is blaming YOU for their misfortunes...😂
Yeah. That's only maybe possible for 0.0001% of the population. Even tech companies that accept remote work insist you remote in a certain geography, mainly for many reasons including safety(no company wants their laptops or systems to be floating on a beach in Bali or a desert in Doha), time zones(you still work for someone and they want u to collaborate with the team), legislation or taxation etc. Or simply productivity (let's face it, those young digital nomads aren't as productive when they are surfing and chasing Asian girls😂). So this formula isn't a viable solution for the problem we have. And neither is migrating to another country, a solution has to be working for at least 30% and a solution that would send 30% of young Australians out of Australia isn't the best solution , even if that was possible.
@@bigbrother4ever exactly.. but Ravi is a genius! I’ve been watching him for years spruik rubbish like this. This is a buyers agent selling a dream to finance his own fantasy.
Couldn't agree more. And why would anyone want to tie a significant chunk of their money into an overpriced and illiquid brick and mortar in Australia if they can work anywhere else in the world? In a way, he is discrediting his own 'great idea' of rentvesting.
If young people are weighing the cost of living and housing against their earning and taxes; and are willing to migrate elsewhere to improve the calculus. Then we are talking about a group that are not only more financially sophisticated than their parents were, but also more convicted in their financial assessment.
@@bigbrother4ever I imagine it would differ based on personal circumstances and financial goals. Some to cheap countries, some to low tax regimes, some to switch from metro-based professions to regionally supported ones, some to regions with similar expense but higher opportunity. The premium associated with raising a family in an Australian capital no longer scales with career opportunity and salary for many professions.
💡 What did you think of this episode? Let us know below if you have any questions for Ravi or Mark! 👇
Yes! Give a a deal! I want a property that will give me around 4.5% yield or more. And have the property rise in price by around 35 to 40% over ten years.
Ravi, give me a deal!
Give me the address!
I think it’s dangerous rubbish and Ravi should register himself as a financial leather weapon.
Times have changed and choices have changed
We now live in a world of no gatekeepers and can embrace different money making opportunities and investment opportunities
The fundamentals of finance are still timeless and yes everyone ideally would like to own their own home but now you can live work and retire anywhere
Agreed retirement is no longer a dream, a fulfilling passionate life is, and frankly you can retire in Bali or Vietnam or Anywhere and live comfortably on a lot less than Australia allows
Great Interview
Change is the only constant
And once you get you dream house and moved in, you fall out with your partner and get divorced. Many things to consider.
Thanks for inviting me on the Podcast Mark! Had a great time 👌
Our pleasure!

Much appreciated!

Is Mark big? Doesn't seem to have lot of subs?
The retirement conversation was sooo interesting. Agree doing jobs to pay your bills vs doing what you like changes things.
Spot on Ravi mate. I am in my 30s and semi-retired extremely lucky to have monetized something I'm good at!

What is the future of aged pension - will they nclude your house in the assets test?
I sold my Dover Heights home and moved to Thailand.Sydney is a complete shit show these days.Best decision I ever made.
That was amazing. Two of my favourite people to watch on RUclips combined. I loved it. Thankyou.
And would you include PK Gupta in that trio?
Great episode... Especially the discussion around retiring to beat of your our drum.... Conversations like this need to be had more often.
Great open discussion, definitely no financial literacy in schools.
I've been teaching my kids...
Thank you for taking the time to share your professional 😊experiences with us.

Loving the interviews and Ravi
As a 59yr old female I wish I knew more about finances, but I am learning thanks to your podcast and Scott Pape
Luv listening to young people today & how they want to achieve their dreams
Ravi ! Mark Bouris, respect ✊
The moment when your two favourite pages unite 😍
Aww thanks
Great interview! Interesting content. Thanks Mark and Ravi !
Glad you enjoyed it!
I hate rentvesting. All it does is spread the city affordability problem to other areas and it prices locals out.
That's a great point which I hadn't truly considered as I encourage my son to get his snowbal going by rentvesting. Maybe we should instead encourage young people to buy locally but sharing in the cost, then sell and rebuy perhaps alone, not that joint ventures are always hassle free.

@@coopsnz1 good point about taxes
Great topics i bought my first invesment property at 19 its very hard for the average joe these days
There is no easy way out.
Pay yourself first, start investing early, reinvest dividends, do it for the long term, and automate everything.
Great discussion, didn't know I was in the minority of your demographics Ravi. Financial acumen should be mandatory in high school.
Can you explore the “reverse engineering” of wealth building timeline idea you raised? Gen X often come into wealth much later from inheritance, but how do they maximise the 15 years to retirement with the security of “home”.
Awesome Podcast from both of you
Once a again real talk by Mark & Ravi.

What are your thoughts on business as a wealth creation? Finance seems to be so self focused on a “Me & Mine” instead of building a dynamic business culture that spreads the wealth around.
When is Mark going to look at Bitcoin in an episode?
Can you please cover Australian demography more? Bernard Salt has fallen off the map and he influenced my property purchases the most.
Do 10 different careers ...
The surgeon that'll keep you living to 90 didn't do that.
The engineer that designed your EV didn't do that.

Super should be forced to a higher level of employee/employer contribution.
Ravi got me interested in micro-investing which is very accessible for everyone (Female, 50+ here),
Mark Bouris is a cool man... I hope I age like him.
Good on you Ravi great to see you on YBR !!
I want to live in Sydney the question is, is Sydney a retirement home for boomers and their houses or a place for people the work and raise families
Surely there is an industry where people are borrowing their deposits for investment properties....
Don’t forget capital gains tax “
Why is your left eye flashing sometimes...?
If people bought an automatic coffee machine at home instead of paying for overpriced bathwater coffees at cafe you too could buy a home in Sydney from all the money saved!
I have!
Mark was a tad condescending imo. Ravi is much more in touch and relatable. Overall, it was a good discussion.
Advice from Mark Bouris and his Guests? Happy to buy a Lotto😂
Mark people should be aiming to retire by 55 or younger. Retiring at 65 or older means having less energy for your hobbies and interests or passion
Property should be for shelter not speculation!!!!!
I'm sure he could buy something in the Sydney market. He just can't buy the $5m mansion he wants.
stop blaming people. once your 18 Yrs old you are responsible for yourself. dont blame. get a job!!
I blame society, and I'm in my 40's.
You are right to some extent. Mainly because blaming anyone won't solve anything. It rather disarm you from the power to change your own lot in life. So better suck it in, fold your sleeves and do the F whatever you can to improve on the hands you were dealt with
@williamcrossan9333 you realize you are part of society. But mainly that blaming society won't change your lot in life...and maybe that someone in worse off situation is blaming YOU for their misfortunes...😂
Ravi lives in a fantasy, move to Bali and hold down your job… why wouldn’t the company just sack you and send the work to the Philippines? 😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah. That's only maybe possible for 0.0001% of the population. Even tech companies that accept remote work insist you remote in a certain geography, mainly for many reasons including safety(no company wants their laptops or systems to be floating on a beach in Bali or a desert in Doha), time zones(you still work for someone and they want u to collaborate with the team), legislation or taxation etc. Or simply productivity (let's face it, those young digital nomads aren't as productive when they are surfing and chasing Asian girls😂).

Where exactly would young Australians migrate to and be better off?
