She 129 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 3: had a fifty dollars vouchert from beu Loop for her birthday. 130 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 1: Oh what reminder they do. 131 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 3: I'm so sad they brought it in just after my 132 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 3: birthday last year, but they do give vouchers now. 133 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 1: Can you use me such a good birthday gift? My 134 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: birthday is coming up next month for Mecca. If you're listening, 135 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: I would love a little voucher. You should get one 136 00:06:58,960 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: in your email. 137 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 3: Me said that she redeemed it on an in store facial, 138 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 3: so they're normally one hundred and twenty dollars, but she 139 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 3: paid seventy out of pocket. But then the Mecca Beauty 140 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 3: Services are redeemable on product, so she basically got a 141 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 3: free facial and one hundred and twenty dollars worth of 142 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 3: product for seventy dollars. Great great one from mim. Next, 143 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 3: I've got a money win from Sue, who said she 144 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 3: was debating buying herself a Ninja Creamy to make some 145 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 3: protein based ice cream treats, and she realized she had 146 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 3: enough A and Z points to buy an Amazon gift card, 147 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 3: so she bought the Jaja Creemy on Amazon, and she 148 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 3: also used shop back to get some cash back on 149 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 3: her purchase. Plus, apparently, for some odd reason, the fancier 150 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 3: model was selling for the same size as the regular one, 151 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 3: so after all of that, she only paid nine dollars 152 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 3: out of pocket for her Ninja creamy. 153 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: Oh I love that.

I feel like everyone's 159 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 3: in Japan and it is a loss because you just 160 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 3: want to buy all the cute things there. 161 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: I feel like when you went to Japan, that's all 162 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: you did. 163 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,679 Speaker 3: I loved it, and all my money at seven eleven 164 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 3: and on sunny angels. 165 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: No you didn't.

So absolutely, what 218 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: three legal broke tips are you bringing to the table 219 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 1: this week? Well, also just really quickly with the unethical 220 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: life just really quickly. 221 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,439 Speaker 4: They might be unethical, but they work sometimes you really 222 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 4: are just trying to survive. 223 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: So oh, no judgment. But like we're a we're a platform, Beck, 224 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: we can't be posting unethical life hacks because that would 225 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: be unethical of us us. I don't judge people for 226 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,559 Speaker 1: doing it. In fact, sometimes I'm like, I wish we 227 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: could share that on the pod. That's kind of funny. 228 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 4: Exactly well, survive, but don't see you. 229 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 1: We aren't allowed to amplify you at this point, at 230 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: this point in time. So the first one comes from Cordelia. 231 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: This one seems like, oh, do you think a buffy. 232 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 4: Yes, it could just be you know of say common knowledge, 233 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,559 Speaker 4: or maybe we've even mentioned this a couple of times. 234 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 4: But I think it is helpful. If you pay with cash, 235 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 4: it does stop the mindless tapping. But also at the 236 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 4: same time, if you are paying in cash and you 237 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 4: don't have access to anything online, that also stops you 238 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,839 Speaker 4: from buying online and finding something like you just you know, 239 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 4: when you're scrolling through Instagram and you're like, oh my. 240 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: God, you can't pay for that in cash. 241 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,959 Speaker 4: You can't do any impulse not Also because it is 242 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 4: physical and we had this before, it does if sometimes 243 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 4: it feels harder to physically part with the money. So 244 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 4: I think that is a fantast stick tip. This next 245 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 4: one is I care do fifty percent meals on Friday 246 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 4: and three dollars for Brecky and unlimited refilled coffee. 247 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, what are you saying?

You can buy them frozen.

And they also do the 257 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 1: mashed potatoes, but I would just do mashed potatoes at home. Yeah. Yeah, 258 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: but you can get the males. In fact, I really 259 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 1: want to go get them now because now we're talking 260 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: about them and I'm low key really hungry.

Can we use that as our lunch room? Yeah? 263 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 1: Meatballs for all. 264 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 4: Obviously my one is next, so it is similar to 265 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,959 Speaker 4: the first one I mentioned. I have realized because I 266 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 4: created a new bank account put my savings and also 267 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 4: direct deposits in. I just like and I don't want 268 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 4: to look at finance clean now now. But I noticed 269 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 4: that because I'm like mentally really lazy. I don't know 270 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,719 Speaker 4: if this will work with for anyone else. But as 271 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 4: soon as there's like two factor authentic authentication or authentication 272 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 4: authentic authentication from I don't know, from authentic authentic yeah, okay, 273 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 4: well well ignore it doesn't like two factor authentication.

And like, 380 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, are your parents shaming you after not sitting 381 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 1: you down and teaching you how to do these things?

Some people 393 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: just don't work like that. 394 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 4: Like I don't have the natural organic motivation to say 395 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:37,120 Speaker 4: for something I do not care about. Every single waking 396 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 4: second is dedicated to being excited and living life and 397 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 4: having fun and that should be just as valuable as 398 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 4: saving money, because it is very impressive. Like JESSRICKI, you 399 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 4: are such a good savor, You're so good with money. 400 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 4: That is extremely impressive. And there is myself and some 401 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 4: of my friends who are live in life been doing 402 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 4: crazy things and just like going out and getting like 403 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 4: making all these beautiful memories and that is cool and 404 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,159 Speaker 4: that is fun. And I'm just like, I don't know 405 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 4: where this comes from. I understand that you do need 406 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 4: for like safety reasons and emergency fund, but when you're ready, 407 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 4: you'll figure that out and you'll also find a way 408 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 4: that works for you. Because personally, for me, I've been 409 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 4: on this podcast like three years now, and I still. 410 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 1: Do not have been three years. I feel like two 411 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,640 Speaker 1: and a half. No, no, no, no, no, Like I'm not questioning it, 412 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: just I feel like I'm here. But then also time 413 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 1: flies when you're having fun. 414 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 4: Exactly right, And I still do not have an emergency fund. 415 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 4: But I realized once I started like investing that that 416 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 4: is for some reason, there's a part of my brain 417 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 4: that cannot touch that money. And so there's like almost 418 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 4: six hundred dollars now in investments. 419 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 1: Oh really, it's not I'm so excited about this. I'm 420 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 1: just so proud of like the beck you've become. 421 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 4: Thank you, But you know that's that's what I mean, like, 422 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 4: is that like that works for me, and that's money 423 00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 4: that I just feel like I can't touch. For some reason, 424 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 4: but that was in my savings account. It would not 425 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 4: exist on the journey. He has been fun. I've connected, 426 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 4: I've bonded, I've made friends, I've done wild things, and 427 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,360 Speaker 4: I just it is embarrassing. 428 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: No, it's not. No, it's not no, but it feels 429 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: embarrassing when you're on the one hundred percent, it feels it, 430 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: but it is not embarrassed. You're allowed to feel embarrassment, 431 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: but that does not mean that it is an embarrassing things. 432 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 4: It feels embarrassing, but it also feels deeply unfair that 433 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 4: there's this this this like base level template for how 434 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 4: we think and feel and how we're meant to live 435 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 4: that doesn't fit everyone. It actually, I don't think it's 436 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,439 Speaker 4: a lot of people, and we just we just blindly 437 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,160 Speaker 4: accept it and we live like that and it makes 438 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,919 Speaker 4: some of us deeply miserable. But sorry, that's just how 439 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 4: you meant to live and. 440 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: Now it's not. And I agree with you that that exists, 441 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: but it frustrates the hell out of many that you 442 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: can't just be happy, like people are trying to tell 443 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: you how to live in line with their values, and like, 444 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, I'm so opinionated, but like I 445 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: would like to think that it's on the things that 446 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,919 Speaker 1: aren't about you making the decision that is aligned with 447 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 1: your genuine thoughts and values and beliefs lack. And it's 448 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: like when we were talking about politics, so like the 449 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: election has come and gone, and throughout that process I 450 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 1: literally kept saying because people would message me like, oh, 451 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: who are you voting for? What are you doing? And 452 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm not even sharing that because I just 453 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: don't want you to think that I would judge you 454 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: for voting any differently, Like if you vote the same, great, 455 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: I'm sure that people could probably like clearly and very 456 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: easily speculate who I voted for. I don't think that 457 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 1: if you consumed all of my content you wouldn't be 458 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: able to guess that. But I also go, but I 459 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,120 Speaker 1: don't care who you vote for. What I actually care 460 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: about is that you voted in line with your values, 461 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 1: Like have you spent the time and the energy to 462 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: work out like what you like, beck, and like what 463 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 1: things align with that? Like that's all I care about, 464 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 1: you living the best life for you. And it's like 465 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: when I say, oh, Beck, I'm so proud of the 466 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,439 Speaker 1: Beck you've become. It's because past Beck would have been like, 467 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: oh my god, Like Beck's still having fun, but she 468 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: also feels a little bit more financially secure. And how 469 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,239 Speaker 1: sick is that? Like, it's not because you've adhered to 470 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: somebody else's values or copied my investment strategy or whatever. 471 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,199 Speaker 1: It's because you're living in line with the values that 472 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: you hold. And that's so friggin' cool, thank you, But 473 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 1: like that's what we want for our communities. I don't 474 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 1: when you feel judged by parents who are living a 475 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 1: lifestyle that you probably don't even want exactly do what 476 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,360 Speaker 1: makes you happy? Karen, I don't actually want to live 477 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: like you. Yeah, I completely agree. 478 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 3: I think that Beck, You're so right that there is 479 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,919 Speaker 3: so much value in non traditional pathways, like there is. 480 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 3: Seeking joy from your life is not a bad thing. 481 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 3: And if that means that you're going against the status quo, 482 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 3: like I think it takes a lot. 483 00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 1: Of strength actually to do that. 484 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 3: Will say that I suspect that your parents' conversation is 485 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 3: coming from a place of concern for your future stability, 486 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,400 Speaker 3: and I understand that, Like I was someone we've seven 487 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 3: the podcast before, like I would travel and come. 488 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: Back with like literally no money at all. 489 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,959 Speaker 3: But like now, when I reflect on that, I go, oh, 490 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 3: on some level, I wish that I did it differently. 491 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 1: I don't regret traveling at all. 492 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 3: But I do wish that I had more financial literacy, 493 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 3: which at the time I didn't like me. 494 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 1: You don't know what you don't know, right, correct. 495 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,479 Speaker 3: I don't think it's cool the way that this has 496 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 3: come about, and I'm so sorry that they've made you 497 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 3: feel this way, because you absolutely shouldn't. But I do 498 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 3: think it's cool, as someone who had that experience myself, 499 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 3: that you have come to a place where, like, I 500 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 3: want to know more so I can create something better. 501 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 3: And I think that that's really awesome that that's how 502 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 3: you're feeling. And I just want to say that you 503 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 3: can have both, Like you can still do the things 504 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,120 Speaker 3: that you value. I have still traveled, even when, as 505 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 3: you said, I'm quite a good saver. I still travel. 506 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 3: I still do things that bring me happiness whilst still 507 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 3: working towards my financial goals. You don't have to entirely 508 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 3: sacrifice one for the other. But I would say that 509 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 3: my worry for you, which is my worry for you 510 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 3: to beck, is I always just want people to have 511 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,439 Speaker 3: an emergency fund. I never want someone to be in 512 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 3: a position where, you know, if you were overseas and 513 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,199 Speaker 3: you got injured, or if you were at home and 514 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 3: you suddenly found yourself without someone to live. Like, my 515 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 3: worry for anyone, but for women especially is that they 516 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 3: find themselves in a situation they can't get out of 517 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 3: because of money. And so I think it's exciting that 518 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,159 Speaker 3: you're entering a phase where you kind of want to 519 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 3: start working on those things, because having a level of 520 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 3: financial security is also very freeing. 521 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 1: I think you'll find I love it. I think it's 522 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: about just living in line with your values, and like, 523 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 1: if I reflect on your journeys and even my journeys, 524 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: I know that financial literacy would have meant that I 525 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: could have just been less anxious and less worried about 526 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,360 Speaker 1: things like beck, I'm sure that if we go back 527 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: to all the times that you've had, you'd be like, no, 528 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,120 Speaker 1: I don't regret any of them. But if I go, okay, cool, 529 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,399 Speaker 1: but if we thought about money and the relationship you 530 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: had at that time, you might go, oh, yeah, it 531 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: was a bit angsty, but I was still having a 532 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 1: good time that doesn't invalidate the fact that you were 533 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 1: having a good time. It's just like, imagine if you 534 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: had an emergency fund to go through that journey with 535 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 1: as well, it might have made it even better. And 536 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: the same with you, Jess, Like coming home from overseas 537 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,239 Speaker 1: and we've talked about it, you came home with like 538 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,880 Speaker 1: not enough money to buy a Mars bar at the airport, 539 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: and like, that's fine, but I can almost guarantee that 540 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 1: that version of Jess would have been so much more 541 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 1: comfortable flying back into the country with enough money to 542 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: buy a Mars Bar. And it's like, not even the 543 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 1: fact that it's a Mars bar, it's just like knowing 544 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: that you've got the financial backing to make the decisions 545 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 1: that you want to make. Absolutely. So I guess that's 546 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 1: a good place to wrap that one, because I want 547 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: to dive into the next one because we got a 548 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: DM this week. Are you ready ready? Hey, she's on 549 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 1: the money. We're selling our townhouse and need a second opinion. 550 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: It's thirteen years old, so bigger than the newer builds, 551 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: but it's dated compared to what else is on the market. 552 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: Our real estate. A reckons we need a good coat 553 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,120 Speaker 1: of paint and new carpet to get the top end 554 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 1: of what similar properties are getting. My partner is happy, 555 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 1: but I'm not convinced. I can't see how we're going 556 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 1: to compete with the modern places without doing something. The 557 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 1: range of what similar properties are selling above for is 558 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: between one hundred and fifty to two hundred thousand dollars, 559 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: So to me, it's a worth the investment, not a 560 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: full reno, just few cosmetic updates to make it feel 561 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 1: less tired. He says. Buyers will do their own renouts anyway, 562 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: so we'd be wasting our money. I don't want to 563 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: over capitalize, but I also don't want to leave money 564 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: on the table. Would you go with the agent or 565 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: trust your gut to modernize it before listing it. Let's 566 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: ask Jess to begin with, because Jess, you are in 567 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 1: the process of like looking at different properties, and I mean, 568 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: if a property is one hundred and fifty to two 569 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand dollars over because it's quote more modern, 570 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 1: I'm assuming that you're purchasing properties over a miss million dollars. 571 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,199 Speaker 1: Is that a fair assumption? Yeah, I would say, yeah. So, Like, 572 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 1: let's pretend it's not one hundred and fifty to two 573 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars like in your price range. Let's just 574 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 1: like pretend it's a bit more. Are you preferring like 575 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 1: modern properties over like more dated ones with bigger rooms? 576 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 2: Like? 577 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 3: What does that look like for you? I, personally my 578 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 3: preference is for a modern finish, but I'm also very 579 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 3: open to renovating myself. When looking at established properties, I 580 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:26,919 Speaker 3: think like the biggest thing that your buyers are going 581 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 3: to be looking at is the floor plan, the configuration, 582 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,159 Speaker 3: which is something that you can't change anyway. Like for 583 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 3: me personally, I know that you can make cosmetic changes 584 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 3: yourself down the line, But the things that I care 585 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 3: most about if I was to buy an established property 586 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 3: is the structural things, like things that I can't change, 587 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 3: would be very expensive to change. What's the heart of 588 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 3: the ceilings, what's the configuration of the floor plan, like 589 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 3: those sorts of things which are things that you wouldn't 590 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 3: be changing regardless. I think that so when I worked 591 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 3: in real estate, coda paint and new carpets is something 592 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 3: that we would tell most people with any kind of 593 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 3: damage to those things, you'd be amazed or what a. 594 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: Difference walking into it feeling freshe hundred percent. 595 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 3: I think that there's a lot that you can do 596 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 3: relatively affordably. So you could probably look at updating, potentially 597 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 3: painting any cabinetry that you have, depending on what it 598 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 3: looks like, or re staining it. A lot of older 599 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 3: properties have maybe a darker wood. You could look at 600 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 3: sandia back or something like that. Changing your fixtures handles 601 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 3: stuff like that to a more modern option as well, 602 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 3: maybe from like a little round knob to something more elongated. 603 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 3: There are lots of changes that you can make that 604 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 3: would be very affordable. It wouldn't take you a lot 605 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 3: of time, but might make a difference. The other thing 606 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 3: we used to recommend a lot when I worked in 607 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 3: real estate was staging. Staging makes a huge difference, and 608 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 3: we saw this in My really good friends sold their 609 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 3: property not too long ago, and their house was smaller 610 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 3: than a lot of the other properties on the market, 611 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 3: but it was by far the most popular in terms 612 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 3: of people who came through, and it sold for like 613 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 3: thirty five thousand dollars over what. 614 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 1: Their expectation was. 615 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 3: Oh, that's so good, And I think it's because they 616 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 3: had styled their property really beautifully. Themselves like it was 617 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 3: already they didn't hire a stager. It was just they 618 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 3: already had like a nicely furnished, finished home, and a 619 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 3: stager is what jess because people might be like, sorry, 620 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 3: what's a stager? So you can have someone come in 621 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 3: and they will stage your house so they can bring 622 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 3: in furniture or just furnishings like stuff, furnishings, curtains, things 623 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 3: like that to style your They make. 624 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 1: The house look really beautiful. 625 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 3: And I would say that it is absolutely worth the 626 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 3: investment if you do not have the stuff to do 627 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 3: it yourself. So if you have a house, if you 628 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 3: take a personal interest in having your gal's house, it 629 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 3: would be so easy to sell back. But if that's 630 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 3: something that's already priority, you've got it style or it's 631 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 3: got a particular theme, it's not as necessary. But if 632 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 3: you're someone I think like Boypad, like I've just got 633 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 3: a very basic ica coffee table, do you know what 634 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 3: I mean? No no styling things, no blankets, no pillows, 635 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 3: no nothing. 636 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: It might be Ryan's house from Maps, Yes, yeah, so 637 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: we would we would stage his house. I would probably 638 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 1: look at staging it because you would be amazed at 639 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: what a difference snakes. It can be a couple of 640 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: grand but I reckon that's an investment in getting more money. True, true, Yeah. 641 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 3: Because you would stage before you take your photos and 642 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 3: stuff typically too, so your property listing online, all those 643 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 3: sorts of things. 644 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 1: You can just pretend that's what you usually live, like 645 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: if you want. 646 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, they can use AI nowadays. I've seen that should 647 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 3: be legal. Sorry, which I don't like. You know what, 648 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 3: Sometimes they do it and it's really hard to tell. 649 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 3: But then the thing is is when people come through teas, 650 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 3: they're going to see it in person, it can be 651 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 3: a bit jarring if it doesn't look the same. 652 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd be like, where's that room with the beautiful chair? 653 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: And then the chair doesn't exist? 654 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, So I would also look at you might 655 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 3: not even need to renovate, but maybe staging, whether you 656 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 3: do it yourself and you purchase things that you can 657 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 3: then keep and take to you an extra or sell on, 658 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 3: or whether you bring a professional in to do it, 659 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 3: might be a good way again to make things look 660 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 3: a little more updated without having to fully renovate. 661 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, Beck, what are you doing to your house that 662 00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 1: you want to sell? God, I'll tell you what. 663 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 4: I don't think I'll ever be in this predicament, but 664 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 4: I think I would do exactly what Jess says. 665 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna so your advice is just called Jess 666 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: up what Jess would say. 667 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 4: Exactly, because I'm thinking, like if I was gonna buy 668 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 4: something honestly, like the this is not at all what 669 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 4: our listener is asking, but if it means that something's 670 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 4: a little bit cheaper, but it's a little bit more 671 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 4: run down, but I can actually afford it, or someone 672 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 4: who is has just saved enough and they can't afford 673 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 4: too much and it's their first home and they're like, oh, 674 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 4: this is a bit run down, but hey, I can 675 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 4: afford it. I don't mind. I'm like, I would be 676 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 4: happy just leave it as his. So I was just 677 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 4: in case that that is the case. But yeah, I 678 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 4: guess probably like exactly as just like even yeah, just 679 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 4: like little things like maybe like the taps or yeah, 680 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 4: like the door handles and things like that, Like little 681 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 4: things make a big difference. One thing that always turns 682 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 4: me off for some reason is like those wardrobes that 683 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 4: have like the really flimsy wooden shelving that for some 684 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 4: reason always like I'm like, I don't want that, and 685 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 4: I don't know why, but so I don't know how 686 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 4: cheap that is fixed. But if you just get those 687 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 4: like I don't know, just kind of fix the little 688 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 4: things up, things that are fairly cheap, fairly quick, fairly easy. Yeah, 689 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 4: go for it with the new paint, new carpet, and 690 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 4: see how you go and see if you like it. 691 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 4: If you like it after like the staging and the 692 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 4: new paint and all this, and you're like, this is 693 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 4: now doable, and is it possible to just like put 694 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 4: it up for a few months, see how you and 695 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 4: if it doesn't do what you expected, then do rhetos. 696 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 1: Then is that allowed? It depends on if you're going 697 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 1: to auction. 698 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 3: If you're going to auction, you have to set a 699 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 3: reserve a price that you're willing to sell it for. 700 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,480 Speaker 3: If you're selling it privately, you can still have that 701 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 3: conversation with your agent and say, oh, I'm not willing 702 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 3: to sell it unless it's X, y Z fair. 703 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 1: I'm going to be a little bit controversial and say 704 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,480 Speaker 1: in this instance, I feel before we get to the 705 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 1: group chat that I actually trust the real estate agent 706 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 1: that is going to be a little bit spicy. But 707 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 1: the reason I trust the real estate agent is because 708 00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 1: you've said that the difference is between one hundred and 709 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: fifty and two hundred one thousand dollars. And real estate 710 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 1: agents get paid a commission based on how much a 711 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 1: property sells for. So in Australia, the most common commission 712 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,879 Speaker 1: that will be payable so you sell your house, two 713 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 1: percent of that purchase price is usually the commission that 714 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,359 Speaker 1: your real estate agent is going to make. And then 715 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 1: of that commission, a real estate agent is usually going to, 716 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 1: like the individual is probably going to take like forty percent, 717 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 1: and then the agency, so like the agency that they 718 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,839 Speaker 1: work for, usually keeps sixty percent. They can slide up 719 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 1: and down like different horses for different courses. The difference 720 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: between a house selling for seven hundred and fifty thousand 721 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 1: dollars or a million dollars, which is like two hundred 722 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 1: and fifty grand, is going to mean a difference of 723 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:48,240 Speaker 1: like five grand. So like instead the agent for selling 724 00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 1: your house at seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars would 725 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,680 Speaker 1: get what six grand, But if they sell your property 726 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 1: for a million dollars, they're going to get eight grand. 727 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 1: That's like two thousand dollars difference, and that's a lot 728 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,319 Speaker 1: of money. Like, so if you're talking to your real 729 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,440 Speaker 1: estate agent and you're like, hey, like, should I restyle 730 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 1: this property at my own cost? If I was the 731 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,839 Speaker 1: real estate agent and I genuinely thought I'd make more 732 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,640 Speaker 1: money by you doing that, I'd be like, yeah, Jess, 733 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 1: please go spend all this money restyling this property or 734 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:20,759 Speaker 1: doing all of these cosmetic changes. It makes sense you'll 735 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,799 Speaker 1: get more money because like there's no comparison, right, Like, 736 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 1: if you don't get more money, they'll be like, well, 737 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 1: that's what the house was worth. I'm glad you invested 738 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 1: it because you would have got less. 739 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 5: Right. 740 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,440 Speaker 1: But if I didn't believe that, and I was like, 741 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,799 Speaker 1: oh Jess, please don't go and bother with that, I'm 742 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,120 Speaker 1: seeing properties literally sell for the same whether they've been 743 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,839 Speaker 1: cosmetically updated or not. Yeah, I'd probably be like, yeah, 744 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 1: that seems pretty fair, like because you would know the area, 745 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 1: and also your money's on the line as well. If 746 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,759 Speaker 1: I do these cosmetic updates and they're the reason we 747 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 1: get more, you're going to make more money, but you're 748 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,279 Speaker 1: saying it's not worth it. So I kind of err 749 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,280 Speaker 1: on the side of feeling like the real estate agent 750 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,840 Speaker 1: makes sense and like that real estate state agent is 751 00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,359 Speaker 1: working for you as the seller. Yeah, and I think 752 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 1: a lot of the time we need to remember who 753 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:09,200 Speaker 1: that professional works for, because the real estate agent isn't 754 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 1: working for the buyer. The real estate agent is trying 755 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 1: to get the most amount of money out of the 756 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 1: buyer for the seller because they make money that way. 757 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 1: So that's where my I guess brain would see it 758 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,879 Speaker 1: on that. We also asked the community. We said, would 759 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,480 Speaker 1: you trust the agent's advice, and fifty five percent of 760 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 1: you said, I'd get another agent's opinion fair because like same, 761 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,280 Speaker 1: thirty two percent of you said yes, they know the market, 762 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,279 Speaker 1: and thirteen percent of you said, nah, I'm going to 763 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,719 Speaker 1: trust my gut. We asked, do you think when it 764 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:43,759 Speaker 1: comes to property presentation sells is actually true? Forty six 765 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,239 Speaker 1: percent of you said yes, twenty eight percent of you 766 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,000 Speaker 1: said only to some buyers, in twenty five percent of 767 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:50,880 Speaker 1: you said it's going to really depend on the property. 768 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 1: And then we asked, well, what's your two cents? My 769 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,279 Speaker 1: favorite comment that I'm going to read that first says, well, 770 00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:01,160 Speaker 1: you're both right, yeah, okay, and I mean it depends 771 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 1: how much those cosmetic upgrades are going to cost you, right, Yeah, 772 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,239 Speaker 1: Like if it's little things you can do here and there, absolutely, 773 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,640 Speaker 1: But like if it's going to take weekends and weekends 774 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,640 Speaker 1: of repainting the whole kitchen. In the hopes that that happens, 775 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,319 Speaker 1: I promise, Like when I have purchased property and I 776 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,879 Speaker 1: walk into the kitchen it's the wrong color, I'm like, cool, 777 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,799 Speaker 1: that's easy changed. Let me see the floor plan, let 778 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 1: me see the how like their room heights, et cetera. 779 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,560 Speaker 1: Someone else said, I recently purchased a nine hundred thousand 780 00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,640 Speaker 1: dollar property, spent two grand on renaults, and it just 781 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:31,960 Speaker 1: got revalued for a million dollars. There you go. 782 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,239 Speaker 3: And that's the thing is it can make a big 783 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 3: difference without a b investment. 784 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,439 Speaker 1: Yeah. Someone else said, it can actually be really hard 785 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,080 Speaker 1: for people to visualize the home's potential. So I would 786 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,879 Speaker 1: do enough to make sure it looks good. Another person said, 787 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,920 Speaker 1: I'd rather have the blank slate to make a place 788 00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,880 Speaker 1: my own. Just make it really clean and we're good 789 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,160 Speaker 1: to go, which I think is really good. I have 790 00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:57,200 Speaker 1: a three part one So someone said, I specialize in this. 791 00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 1: If the gap in the market is big, and you 792 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,239 Speaker 1: can do the renaults under that, it could definitely be 793 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,960 Speaker 1: worth it, not only more money, but it makes for 794 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:09,320 Speaker 1: an easier sale. Eliminate as many buyer objections as possible, 795 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,440 Speaker 1: and you will attract the most buyers to have competition 796 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 1: and sell the property quickly. Yeah, which I think your 797 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:16,480 Speaker 1: friend's experience. 798 00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 3: I'll see if they had multiple bidders that all wanted 799 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 3: the property. 800 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,080 Speaker 1: And then I've got a couple more. One person said, 801 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 1: I recently bought an apartment and I actually only considered 802 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,120 Speaker 1: the properties that were ready to move in and had 803 00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,920 Speaker 1: no changes. And then someone said, I don't want to 804 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,799 Speaker 1: buy a house for one hundred thousand dollars more just 805 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:36,319 Speaker 1: because it had a cheap fifteen thousand dollar facelift. There's 806 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,279 Speaker 1: really two sides to the coins that. Well, it just 807 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,160 Speaker 1: goes on and on, doesn't it. So that's it from me. 808 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,560 Speaker 1: I hope you guys have a beautiful weekend and we'll 809 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 1: catch you on the flip side.
