Episode 1

Many companies around the world are making it mandatory for their staff to be vaccinated against Covid-19. In South Africa, some companies have also announced mandatory vaccinations for their staff. Does this mean trustees and directors in community schemes can follow the same route with residents and their visitors? We chat to an attorney and sectional-title scheme expert to shed some light.

We also visit a R150-million property listing in Sandhurst, Sandton. This mansion was inspired by a Los Angeles chateau, which belonged to Hollywood producer Aaron Spelling and was sold in 2019 for just short of $120-million.

It’s a brand-new year and time to set new goals. And if property investing is one of your goals for the new year, you’re in good company because in this episode we’ll be looking at how to start investing in property and be successful at it.

Episode 9

There is a general perception that only distressed properties are being sold at the auction, and that the seller does not have a say in the matter. However, there are actually many advantages to selling your property at the auction. In this episode we shed light on this matter.

This week’s property listing is in the sought-after, Eagle Canyon Golf Estate. The property overlooks the golf course, and you can appreciate the sunset from your patio. It is on the market for fourteen million, nine hundred thousand rand, and the listing agent is Linda Nunes from Pam Golding.

If you want to close a property investment deal successfully, you need as much information about that property as you can lay your hands on. One way of achieving this objective is by being very strategic in the questions that you ask the real estate agent during the viewing. We unpack these strategic questions.

Episode 10

Many property buyers are not 100% sure where and how to pay the deposits on their new homes. But following the new property practitioners act that came into effect earlier this year, home buyers now have more options when it comes to paying over deposits, and they can earn an interest on that deposit before it is paid over to the seller. We unpack these options.

This week’s property listing is in the sought-after suburb of Irene, in Pretoria. This four-bedroom, four-bathroom, property is on the market for five million, nine hundred and ninety thousand rand, and the listing agent is Liza Smit, from Leapfrog Property Group.

The experts always say how easy it is to find property investment deals, but when you and I go out, we find that it is not actually that easy. But here is the thing… it all has to do with having the right mindset. And apparently once that is in place, the rest comes easy. A property investment expert shares tips for having the right mindset when you go out hunting for investment properties.

Episode 11

Very often, after a property has registered in a new owner’s name, disputes will arise between the buyer and seller about defects that may have been overlooked. Is the seller responsible for those defects, was the onus on the buyer, and is the seller protected by the Voetstoots clause. These are just some of the questions that we are answering in this episode.

This week’s property listing is in Dainfern Valley Estate. This property is on the market for six million, eight hundred, and ninety-five, thousand rand, and it is listed by Gaye Cawood from Gaye Cawood Realty.

Many people start their property investment journey, but once they’ve reached their affordability with the bank, they don’t know how to move forward in growing that portfolio. In this episode, we find out how to start a property investment portfolio the right way, and how to overcome obstacles that prevents you from growing your portfolio into a multi-million-rand empire.

Episode 12

Guest details for episode 12

Trying to save for the upfront costs that are required to buy a home can be very discouraging, because just as you’ve reached your required amount, that same property now costs more, and you need to carry on saving. In this episode we are looking at home loan offerings from the four major banks in South Africa where all the upfront costs are included, which means if you qualify, you can literally apply for a home loan tomorrow without any upfront fees required.

Today’s property listing is in the sought-after suburb of Bryanston, north of Johannesburg. This property has been listed for just under eighteen million rand, and according to listing agent, Madri Sassenberg from Harcourts, this is great value for money.

Being successful in property investing is not just a science, and calculated decisions, but there are also general rules that apply, that no matter how long you’ve been investing in property, you never break these rules and expect to be successful. In this episode we explore what those are.

Episode 13

The breach clause in a contract is always accompanied by wording such as “if the purchaser is in breach, the seller can keep the deposit, or the real estate agent’s commission can be paid from the deposit”. But it is not so straight forward, and no one can just take the purchaser’s deposit out of a trust account without proper legal procedures. In this episode we shed light on this often-misunderstood clause.

The number one rule in property investing is that you make your money when you buy, not when you sell. It simply means that you only purchase properties below market value, otherwise it is not an investment. In this episode we find how to make such below market property investment purchases.
