The Double Shot
WHO ARE WE? ”Cousins, Real Estate Investors, Educators, Podcasts and one‘s even an Author!” Cousins Alex and James Fitzgerald, hosts of The Double Shot Podcast, are under 35yr property professionals who’ve collectively transacted over $500M of real estate and are investors themselves. Each week they digest the key headlines relevant to business and investing with a lean toward the millennial perspective and a focus on how Australians can most affectively use real estate as their key investment strategy. They also both work for Custodian, a company founded by CEO and Author John Fitzgerald (Yes! they are related) – who also wrote best seller “7 Steps to Wealth”. At Custodian, we have been helping Australians from all walks of life on how to utilise their equity and savings and the power of compound growth, to secure their financial future, and repay their mortgage much faster in the process. Custodian was founded by author of best seller “7 Steps to Wealth”, to help thousands apply the strategy highlighted in the book. When it comes to Real Estate, you couldn’t pick a better channel.

Quickshots Q&A #160
Friday Jul 26, 2024
Friday Jul 26, 2024
- Where do you get the money from to have a positive (or at least break-even) cash flow? You need a deposit of at least 30%. Let’s say I have that 30%. It will take me 10 years to save for the next property.
- What kind of property (house, apartment or other) will yield the best rental income?
- Do you think the number of properties matters compared to the overall investment portfolio? I could have one house in Sydney with a $1 million debt, which will appreciate more than three units incurring the same debt elsewhere in Australia. Given that a house will appreciate more than units and has better tax depreciation, don’t you think the number of properties does not matter in the long run?
