What methods of investing do you follow and teach?

P16 follows a top-down quantitative investment approach used by many successful property investors and fund managers. While researching, we first look for long term growth markets (using Fundamental Analysis) before narrowing them down to suburbs that would grow immediately (using Technical Analysis).  We are a ‘value investor’.

In short, ‘Fundamental analysis’ helps to identify long term growth suburbs (over 10 years plus) while ‘Technical analysis’ identifies short term growth suburbs are primed to grow in the next 6 month to 2 years.

Fundamental analysis is based on economic analysis of real-time data (such as interest rates, unemployment rate, population growth etc) while technical analysis is based on property market analysis of real-time data (such as days in the market, average discounting, property search interest, etc.

P16 Tutorials teaches you a practical and simplified methodology of this highly successful and complete approach used by property fund managers and successful investors all around the world.

How do you pick suburbs for investment?

We complete a fundamental analysis using 15 economic data trends (such as interest rates, unemployment rate, consumer confidence etc) to evaluate if a market is cheap (as compared to expensive) to invest.

Concurrently, a technical analysis is completed using on the ground 15 property market data sets (such as property search interest, days in the market, average discounting etc). This helps us gaze the current market supply and demand that would drive an immediate growth in a suburb (or pocket).

While combining the fundamental and technical analysis we regularly identify list of high returning suburbs (or pockets) across Australia that would continue to provide you with above average growth now and throughout your investment journey.

Our scientific modellings are based on statistical methods of ratios, correlation, regression, trend line and rolling averages.

P16 Tutorials teaches you where to find the up-to-date real-time data and a simplified data analysis methodology, so irrespective of your economics knowledge or data analysis competency you are still able to identify high returning suburbs that are about to take off.

In our course you will learn how

  1. a simplified methodology to identify which market is cheap to invest into and which market is expensive for you to keep clear off.
  2. a simplified methodology to evaluate aggregate demand and supply in the property market at a suburb level within the cheap market, that is likely to also grow immediately.
  3. to analyse property information for cashflow, holding cost, tax benefits and manufactured growth potential. This helps you to choose the right property to invest.
Why are both fundamental analysis and technical analysis important?

Successful fund managers across the world use both Fundamental and Technical analysis to outperform the market. It’s about achieving ‘alpha’ and it’s about maximising the risk weighted return of your investments.

Fundamental analysis provides a useful guide to long term growth while technical analysis provides guide to short term growth in a suburb.

While each city, region and suburb have its own market, we help you select the high returning suburbs and pockets that are primed to grow from the day you acquire the property.

The short-term growth allows you to add your next property faster while the long-term growth allows you to build wealth.

Why is investing based solely on technical analysis (demand and supply) dangerous?

On-ground demand and supply analysis (such as using demand and supply ratios, (like DSR) is only half-done job. It provides only a short-term guide to investing. While it can be a useful bit of information, property is a long-term investment hence a strictly short-term approach may not always work out in the long run. 

In addition, often the demand and supply analysis will still be showing strong numbers at the tail end of the short-term burst, leading to error in making the right judgement by inexperienced investors.

Lately a number of investors who invested solely based on DSR analyses have lost all the recent gains and now grappling with loses due to higher interest rates.

What is the aim of P16 Tutorials?

P16 Tutorials aims to build confidence within you in a short period of time so you can start investing, without you wasting a large sum of money or time on contradicting and confusing information obtained through

  1. Following property spruikers or YouTube gurus - who claim to know everything and have hidden agenda to sell overpriced product such as a course, a strategy or a property.
  2. Attending seminars – they almost always carry hidden agendas and are organised by smooth salespeople with links to developers who wish to sell their new developments packaged as growth opportunities.
  3. Reading books etc - takes a lot of time with no ongoing coaching available.
  4. Paying for property advice – you could end up paying tens of thousands of dollars to people who are unqualified to provide advice or are simply selling you a developer property stock disguised as advise.

What is the difference between P16 Tutorials and other courses or educators?

P16 Tutorials is complete. It is not based on one guru’s successful property journey during a property boom cycle.

Our presenters have personal experience in investing over 25 years.

Why are mantras of a property guru spruiker dangerous?

Here are 3 main reasons.

  1. A guru’s own success in investing is likely to be as a result of extended property boom conditions (more than 5 years) which may not be immediately repeated.
  2. There are horses for courses. Same strategy seldom works on everyone. For example, a strategy that works on someone earning $80k pa may not be the best for someone earning $150k pa. Often a property guru is too focused on strategy that worked in their own personal unique situation and are less likely to be objective in their views.
  3. They often run their business like a cult. They may have a social media group whose audiences (or members) are heavily controlled. The third-party reviews are either orchestrated or managed through their own cult followers and a genuine review such as google reviews are never available. The followers are discouraged to comment against the gurus where they are easily able to spread misleading information.
Why is fusion of 5 disciplines of wealth creation important while buying?

Your overall wealth as an investor at a point during the investment journey depends on the

  1. Income and growth of your property (or, properties)
  2. Ongoing and future tax paid on the income and growth of your property (or, properties),
  3. The interest and other holding costs of your property (or, properties)
  4. The ownership and finance structure that supports an addition of the next property to your portfolio and intergenerational transfer.
  5. The upkeep cost and value that can be added to the property.

P16 teaches you how to maximise your overall wealth now and in future. The single most important factor in creating wealth is to set your financial, tax and mortgage strategy right.
