  • Creating your property investment brief
    When it comes to property investing, most people jump straight into browsing suburbs or scrolling through listings. But the real starting point? Creating a clear investment strategy and turning that into a practical investment brief.  In today’s episode, Pete and Amy break down exactly how to do that – so you can stop wasting time on properties that don’t align with your goals, and start building a portfolio with purpose. What we cover in this episode: - Strategy vs. brief – the big-picture plan vs. the specifics for your next purchase. - How to decide between capital growth vs. cashflow (and why it’s rarely one without the other). - The role of exit strategies, diversification, and correct loan structuring. - Why it’s critical to align your investments with your lifestyle and long-term goals. - Setting your brief parameters:- Budget (capacity vs. comfort level)- Cashflow requirements (yield vs. growth, stress testing, P&I vs interest only)- Investment style (set-and-forget vs. value-add opportunities)- Example of a clear brief: what it looks like in practice.- How to avoid analysis paralysis when you’ve got a flexible budget or too many choices.- Choosing locations strategically: state, suburb, and micro-market research.- Key non-negotiables and “bonuses” to include in your final brief – from quiet streets and off-street parking to north-facing blocks and future value-add potential. Why this matters: Your investment brief acts as a filter. It protects you from distraction, FOMO, and shiny objects. Most importantly, it keeps every property decision aligned with your long-term wealth-building strategy. By the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly how to build your own property investment brief – and how to use it as a roadmap for smarter, more strategic buying.
