Recently I spoke with Belinda Punshon from finder.com.au about how to master your rational decision making to avoid emotional pitfalls when investing.

It was a great opportunity to share the benefit of my 30 years experience in the residential property investment market – as you can imagine, I’ve learnt a thing or two during this time!

Here are some of the points I discussed in detail with Belinda:

• Fear of missing out
• Overpaying
• Overbidding at auction
• The great Australian dream mindset
• Being too honest about budget with selling agents
• Becoming emotionally attached
• Combining investment and owner-occupier objectives
• Renovating to your personal tastes
• Trying to time the market
• Taking your time
• How to avoid emotional blunders
• What emotional characteristics should investors have?
