Reading Time: 5 Minutes Howdy guys! Good to be back in front of y’all on this sunny Sunday! I was getting a bit carried away with Netflix in bed there for a sec (will Mowgli ever re-join the pack? SO intense). But as much as I’m enthralled with the latest adaption of the Jungle Book and wolves with British accents, I think it’s time to get back to the second part of the Sydney Property Outlook (read part 1 here). My opinion was and still is that 2019 will be a tough year for real estate in Sydney, here’s further reasons why that’ll be the case: Brexit and the Trade…

2019 Sydney Property Outlook Part 1
Reading Time: 4 Minutes Hi guys! How’s everyone coming along, we all having a good week? Bit of a mad rush for meself to be honest. Lets out a BIG gulp of air – wheeeew. I think it’s got something to do with Xmas just around the corner, damnit if I ain’t looking forward to some quality R&R. Despite all this, it’s hard to not feel a bit of Christmas Cheer, you can see it in the faces of strangers everywhere you go. Tell you what ain’t so cheery though, something which is hammered again and again with increasing frequency by the media… …The Sydney housing market of course! We’ve…

The One That Got Away – A Missed Property Which Would Have Shaved YEARS Off The (FIRE) Dream (Part 2)
Reading Time: 6 Minutes What’s up guys! How’s everyone’s weekend? Thanks for coming back to your favourite Frugal Samurai. We continue today with the story about how I let the one (ring) to rule them all slip through my grasp. If you haven’t read the first part – do so here. If you have read the first part, you’ll notice that it’s overwhelmingly emotional and yes I may have been blindsided by the superior numbers on offer such as the 13% gross yields or $70k asking price below my perceived value. So why didn’t I pull that trigger then? You snooze you lose! Technically this is true as I did…

The One That Got Away – A Missed Property Which Would Have Shaved YEARS Off The (FIRE) Dream (Part 1)
Reading Time: 4 Minutes “Argh!” Yells the frustrated young man in front of his laptop screen, a painful wince crosses his facial features. “What’s wrong?” His wise yet still sexually attractive wife calls out, hurrying over. “It’s SOLD already #*@(%&#”, he shouts – slamming his fist down. “Oh… don’t worry, there’s always another one”, she responds… glad her husband is just over-reacting again. He’s just a boy at heart, still throwing those kiddie tantrums – she tells herself, before resuming the latest Korean drama series on Netflix. Her husband continues to yell and curse in the background. ~~~ Sigh. Hi guys – that was the little conversation MrsFrugalSamurai and I…

What to do in a Bear Market (Part 4)
Reading Time: 4 Minutes What’s up guys! How’s everyone’s week been! December is here, can you believe it?! I know I can’t, was only just remarking to MrsFrugalSamurai that I don’t feel like I achieved anything at all this year. Then she not-so-subtlely reminded yours truly that we did GET MARRIED this year. Oh yeah…that. “It’s what happens when I’m with you babe, time just flies”, is what I was obviously thinking but didn’t quite say out loud. Hindsight eh? Which brings me to the topic of today’s post, Step 5 of a continuation on my friend’s Light Beam question: “How to survive a bear market” BTW have a read…
