This Rask podcast episode is going to seem really… different. It’s a wonderful conversation with an extremely entrepreneurial couple who I have followed for a few years.

Matt and Liz Raad are serial investors in websites and digital assets. They’re speakers and educators who have probably helped to create tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars of wealth for investors, FIRE community members, those escaping the 9-to-5, and business owners.

In this podcast, we’ll going backwards, to how they first meet, to walk forwards and map their fascinating business and investment journey. This podcast is all about investing in things you’ve probably never thought you could, or should - websites.

If you want Liz, Matt and I to do a round two, I’d love to hear from you. Please use the Rask community, or ask a question link (both are are available in your podcast player) to get in touch with me.

And if you’re half as fascinated as I am in what they talk about, go and get in contact with them using the resources for this episode. If you do, let me know what you think.

On this Australian Property Podcast episode, Owen Rask and Amy Lunardi break down 5 of the most emotional traps people fall into when buying their property. 

Here's what you need to know:

1. Avoiding being too emotional and overpaying

• Need to have some emotion when buying a property
• Use this to factor into your ‘competitive buffer’ – how to figure this out (comparable sales plus x%)
• Where to draw a line in the sand
• With an investment less emotions (not zero)

2. The need for ‘social proof’

• Do your research upfront to avoid self doubt later on

3. Allowing real estate agents/negotiations to impact your decision making

• Negative experiences with agents
• A negotiation not happening the way you expect it to

4. Waiting for ‘the one’ or ‘that feeling’

• Doesn’t always happen this way (like online dating)
• Figure out what gives you ‘that feeling’
• Focus on your non-negotiables

5. Constantly having self doubt throughout the property journey

• Often stems from a lack of upfront preparation, research, not knowing what you’re doing
• Highly influenced by friends/family/media
• Procrastination, changing strategy throughout, pulling out at last minute
