I do this every year... I basically revisit every assumption, strategy, tactic, and activity to see if it's a) worthwhile; and b) future optimised.

One thing keeps looping in my mind: "CHOICES".

This quote from Peter Drucker sums it up nicely:

“In a few hundred years, when the history of our time will be written from a long-term perspective, it is likely that the most important event historians will see is not technology, not the Internet, not e-commerce, not AI. It is an unprecedented change in the human condition.

For the first time – literally – substantial and rapidly growing numbers of people have choices. For the first time, they will have to manage themselves. And society is totally unprepared for it”.

Think about it...

Back in the day, before the Internet, you didn't have much choice. Your career was determined by what your father did, or what your local community needed.

Your education was constrained by the books in the library or the teachers within a 30 mile radius. You got the news from the newspaper (which you could easily keep up with daily).

Even when you went to the local grocer, there was only one type of milk, bread, cheese, soap, razors, etc.

Choice was limited.

But today.... The amount of choice the average person has is IMMENSE!

There are 1-million new books published every year, in English, in the US alone! That's excluding the rest of the world and the other 170+ languages.

And that's just books! And the average human these days doesn't even read books.

Netflix pumps out series like sausages, thousands of podcasts every minute (some running 3h long), millions of articles a minute, livestreams, millions of YT videos a minute, DM's (on 6 platforms), txts, whatsapp, skype, slack, wechat, emails, flyers, radio, ads, 400 logins, two computers, 1 phone, three browsers (4 windows each with 36 tabs),

AI gives more information in an instant than 10,000 humans can consumer in lifetimes.

I kid you not... I saw a new company people were raving about...

Guess what it does? It allows Chrome users to open tabs within tabs that connect to neurolink.

What the hell.

Anyway... Here's my point:

Humans these days have too many choices, far more than their brains can compute, far more than algorithms can compute.

And when humans are inundated with choice they tend to avoid choosing altogether, or they make a bad choice, typically the one with highest instant gratification/lowest effort.

In life and property — you can learn anything — you can do anything.

That’s not the problem. The problem is choosing what to learn and choosing what to do. And that's a skill they never taught us at school.

Someone said to me most people in Australia are fat and poor. I don’t know if that’s right, but it not due to lack of choice.

So what do you do?

Here's three pieces of advice:

Stop consuming so much damn media (especially passive media)

Get rid of your damn phone and notifications/plethora of apps

Find a single mentor and learn from them till you surpass their level

Leonardo Da Vinci said it best:

"Poor is the pupil who does not surpass his master."

How many of your mentors have you surpassed?

Probably zero. Because you have 400 of them, and they're secretly not mentors, but modern-day blurred line social media performers.

Or worse still technically correct but wisdom-less AI agents.

Stop overwhelming yourself with choice. Lock the windows, close the doors, calm down, breathe, think of what you want in life, write it down, find a mentor who's actually done what you want to achieve (actually).

Learn from that single mentor until you surpass their level. That's it.

So yeah... I've been thinking about choices...

The structured, data-driven approach to suburb and property selection genuinely works. In just 6 months, I've been able to confidently purchase 3 properties, all with strong data points and strong rental returns, something I doubt to have achieved without this framework.

What stands out is how actionable the system is no fluff, just clear strategy anyone can implement immediately based on their situation.
Highly recommend to anyone serious about building a property portfolio the right way.

I feel people pay more attention to 5% falls than 5% gains. Every time a market rises 5% people ignore it and ask, “Is it a good time to buy property?”. And when it falls 5% they declare “huge housing crash, terrible time to buy!”.

The reality is you’ve got roughly 40 years between graduating and retiring. Investing in quality real estate will make you rich, slowly. The key right now is to find countercyclical growth areas - that’s what we are doing.

A new survey from Seniors First shows that 33.7% of homeowners aged over 55 have put their sale plans on hold as the property market softens.

Most people don’t need to sell. Crashes only happen when a critical mass of people absolutely need to sell. They flood the market, demand doesn’t keep up and prices free-fall.

But people only sell in a soft market if they are under mortgage stress.

The data suggests Aussies are very comfortably ahead on their mortgages. 2 years ahead on average according to the RBA.

So while prices are somewhat damp right now, the bottom is near because new listings are drying up. Supply is contracting to meet demand.

Demand normally rebounds after 6-14 months according to the last 6 national property downturns recorded. It’s already been 6 months in many locations around Australia.
