The difference between “investment” and “speculation” is a thousand miles, and the results are completely different.

The “One Goal” of the PIA Home Buying Philosophy clearly states: to achieve an affluent and self-sufficient retirement through medium to long term investment in residential real estate in Australia, particularly in Sydney, and one of the “2 Levers” of the PIA Home Buying Philosophy is the Lever of Time (not Timing). Sydney residential real estate returns come primarily from ‘time’ not ‘timing’. Our Three Principles also state that it is best to leave it as long as possible, so that it doesn’t cost you anything. In my lectures, I have repeatedly emphasized that successful real estate investing is not simply a matter of low prices and high capital, but rather a long term process. I likened the process to growing from a seed to a forest. Investing in residential real estate in Sydney requires confidence and patience. This shows how much PIA emphasizes the importance of the “long term”.

PIA’s emphasis on long term investment is in line with the laws of residential real estate in Sydney. Because of this, the PIA philosophy has become more and more widely accepted over the years.

The increase in Sydney’s property prices over the years has been on the low side compared to the historical average. However, due to the special operation mode of the Chinese alliance, the investment of our allies has gained considerable appreciation far above the average market value. Some investors even made a profit of $100,000 in just one year. We are proud of this, and happy for our allies. But we must not be hot-headed, do not deviate from the concept of “long-term” investment.

In the specific operation of our efforts through the power of the platform for allies to strive for higher than the average market value-added “extraordinary value-added”. But conceptually, we rely on our allies to have a long-term investment plan, to be psychologically prepared to face price stagnation, and to have the wisdom and knowledge to cope with market changes. 2009, Sydney’s house prices began to recover from the trough, and real estate developers and buyers were all excited about it. However, I am saying, “Welcome the spring of Sydney’s residential real estate with a rational attitude”. I wanted to give the excited market a shot in the arm, and I emphasized the importance of investing for the long term.

As I mentioned earlier, many people suffered huge financial losses as a result of selling at reduced prices during the last wave of house price adjustments. Some investors complained about Sydney’s real estate, some complained about the misleading of real estate sales companies and salespeople, but many more failures were the result of “speculative” thinking. Speculators expect to make quick money in the short term. Speculation in real estate, no long-term plan to hold on to, no long-term cash flow plan, the result is that the market once the wind and waves, the ship capsized. It is true that there are disdainful people in the real estate industry, such as those who falsely inflate property prices and maliciously mislead buyers, and so on. But on the other hand, it is also the irrational speculators that give some real estate industry small fry a chance to take advantage of.
