who is the typical investor in the Australian property market? Link
Some interesting data on who is the typical investor in Australian houses. Age, income, gender etc.
Quote:
Contrary to the image a property investor might conjure up - a wealthy full-time property speculator - most residential investors in Australia don’t actually rely on it as their primary source of income.
In reality, Australia’s residential investment market is dominated by people who, having bought their own home, have moved onto buying an investment property. These small-scale investors own 83% of all investment properties.
Previous research shows that real estate investors tend to be married, wealthy males with high income and full-time employment.
A typical rental housing investor is a high-income earner or family partnership, owning one or two dwellings as an extra income source. The probability of becoming a residential investor tends to increase with age and homeowner status, but declines after the age of 65.
Interesting that such little money is invested in shares on average for a property investor.
Other than that, everything seems to be about what I thought it'd be!
I figure I have several hundred thousand exposure to shares via my super fund. One of the reasons I do property directly is to gain a level of diversification.

I have none personally. Tho tha rest of tha family (both youngs 'n olds) has about tha same as you in total I'd guess.
But I continues ta remain mindful of a statement by pretty much tha greatest RBA governor in my remembrance (Ian Macfarlane wot delivered tha Boyer lectures of 2006 http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/boyerlectures/the-search-for-stability/3353142 when all others were crowin' about tha wonderful returns on super [as in stocks - well primarily anyways I 'spose] 'n how they/it/super woz settin' tha nation's inhabitants up for truly blessed retirements) that ('n I paraphrase of course) : "I's got me doubts about all this shit wot's exposin' Aussies ta tha vagaries of tha international share markets when back in tha 'ole days' they'd have just bin payin' down their mortgages 'n whackin' a few bucks in tha bank."
One of the great advantages of the super system is the time in. The investment horizon of someone starting today is over 40 years, so a few ups and downs aren't the end of the world. Of course, for people who simply liquidate shares and go to cash in retirement, timing can be a problem, but for anyone willing to actually manage risk and do some planning it's not a huge issue.

Yeah, it's one of tha thoughts I's had in relation ta Short Billy's latest screw up re Family trusts - Is there just maybes anyways I might be able ta arrange family assets so's they flows ta tha youngs' super funds? - Anyways, I's had enough for one day I 'spose 'n will just let it all continues ta rattle 'round in me brain whilst I trundles off ta cook meself a steak 'n pour out another vodka or scotch or wotever ... (Before pissin' off back ta ytube ta watch a bit more shit before 'tamarra' breaks ... )

I do hope some females get encouraged by their family by their own hopefully successful eg and experience in property guide them.... also the dynamics is changing in that some *some females may be more the breadwinner than males.
Newjerk? can you try harder than dig up another person's blog. My first promo was with Billabong and my name in English is modified with a T, am Perth born but also lived in Sydney to make my $$ It's Absolutely Fabulous if it includes brilliant locations, & high calibre tenants..what more does one want? Understand the power of the two "P"" or be financially challenged Even better when there is family who are property mad and one is born in some entitlements.....Understand that beautiful women are the exhibitionists we crave attention, whilst hot blooded men are the voyeurs ... A stunning woman can command and takes pleasure in being noticed. Seems not too many understand what it means to hold and own props and get threatened by those who do. Banks are considered to be law abiding and & rather boring places yeah not true . A bank balance sheet will show capital is dwarfed by their liabilities this means when a portions of loans is falling its problems for the bank.

Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
