How to become wealthy?

It’s all about the mindset


A lot of people believe that the only way of becoming rich is by winning the lotto or being born rich.


Well there is some truth about those statements however the most important thing that will allow you to become rich or not will alway be your mind.


The important thing that helps you build your investment and wealth portfolio is “YOU” and how you shape yourself up and withstand the pressures on the way.



How, if you are starting to invest in property as a newbie, then this is not to scare you but for you to be aware of what you think and how you think.


Investment journey gets challenging many a times, given one who invests in property, goes all in with their money and there are simply too many channels from where issues can come from.


When you start investing in property, issues hit from day 1.


However, if you now go with problem thinking i.e. “Why Me” or “This is an issue and am blocked so can’t do anything” kind of thinking, then there is little chance an investor will move forward.


Here is the deal:


If you now change that to outcome thinking i.e. “What do I need to do to resolve the issue to achieve what I want to achieve” kind of thinking, every possibility that an investor will move forward.


For above to change you need to focus heavily on three things:

  • Inputs : What inputs are going into your investment journey
  • Outputs : What are you achieving putting those inputs in
  • Outcomes : What does it mean to you if you achieve what you want to achieve


Example

  • Inputs : Loads of time, Property viewings/offers, sacrificed weekends and evenings
  • Outputs : Will have a portfolio of “n” houses in few years
  • Outcomes : I will be $3000+ well off every month and a cash profit of $20000 a year that can pay majority of my monthly bills and gives me time to spend with my family.


Most people confuse outputs for outcomes and stay stagnant with outputs with no tangible outcome.


Most of the investors are sold a dream and i.e. financial freedom within property investment.


I don’t know how many retrospectively look back and think this is all about financial freedom. I for one while I am sold into it, soon realised that there is nothing like freedom.

There is independence but not freedom.


Independence also comes with lots of caveats and that’s the truth.


Here is the thing:

You can achieve that independence when you are geared up to look at property investment as a business and run it like a business.


If you are intending to run it as something where you can buy few houses and earn enough to take care of your expenses, this probably isn’t for you.


Tune your investment mind to see property investment as your business and not something you are doing it as just a legacy to your future generations.


I hope this was helpful and remember if you need someone to talk reach out to PB Property and we will be more then happy to assist you. Book a time here.

Around 2017–2018, growth stalls and dips modestly after APRA’s investor growth cap (2014) and interest‑only cap (2017), which is the effect you’re asking about.

Melrose Park’s transformation from an industrial precinct into a residential and mixed-use community has been a strategically significant shift for Sydney’s urban future. Historically, the area was home to pharmaceutical and light-industrial operations, but over time these industries declined, consolidated elsewhere, or simply outgrew the outdated warehouses and fragmented road layout. Keeping the land zoned industrial would have meant under-utilising a large, strategically located pocket of Sydney at a time when housing demand is at critical levels. Redeveloping Melrose Park allows Sydney to introduce thousands of new homes in an inner-suburban area without pushing growth further to the city’s outskirts. With capacity for around 10,000–11,000 dwellings, plus retail, open space, a new high school and community facilities, the precinct is envisioned as a self-contained, modern neighbourhood with liveability at its core. Instead of being an isolated residential pocket, Melrose Park is being planned as a walkable, amenity-rich town centre where green spaces, urban parks, and mixed-use buildings form a cohesive and sustainable environment. Its location is one of its strongest advantages. Positioned on the Parramatta River, the suburb sits almost exactly halfway between Sydney CBD and Parramatta CBD, making it highly attractive for commuters who want balance, convenience and lifestyle. It is minutes from major employment hubs, established transport corridors like Victoria Road, and future connections that will further integrate the precinct into Sydney’s broader network. The land parcel is also unusually large and contiguous for an inner-suburban area, enabling a full masterplan rather than piecemeal development.  Overall, the shift from industrial to residential in Melrose Park wasn’t just a rezoning exercise; it was a strategic realignment of land use to meet Sydney’s changing economic, demographic, and lifestyle needs. Its prime location ensures the precinct will continue to attract demand, support growth, and deliver long-term value for residents and investors alike.
