Everything They Teach You at Goldman Sachs | My Next Property

Steve reveals the Goldman Sachs investing lessons that shaped how he buys Australian property today, from value investing and market cycles to risk management, buffers and long-term compounding. In this episode, Steve breaks down what he learned during his years at Goldman Sachs and how those high-finance principles now apply to building a property portfolio in Australia. He covers why buying under intrinsic value matters, how land-to-asset ratios can reveal hidden opportunities, why Melbourne looks undervalued compared to Brisbane, and how investors can use “boots on the ground” research instead of relying only on lagging data. If you want to understand how professional investors think, and how to apply those lessons to property, this episode is packed with practical takeaways. 2:04 — Inside Goldman Sachs — Securities, Strategy & Life After The GFC 4:46 — High-Frequency Trading Explained — Why It Doesn’t Work In Property 6:44 — Lesson 1: Value Investing — Buying Assets Under Intrinsic Value 9:24 — Lesson 2: Cigar Butt Investing — Land-To-Asset Ratios Explained 12:06 — Lesson 3: Market Cycles — Why Brisbane Looks Overvalued And Melbourne Undervalued 13:26 — Lesson 4: Fundamental Research — Why Data Alone Is Not Enough 15:38 — Lesson 5: Long-Term Compounding — From $2M To $13M Portfolio Value 18:47 — The Real Goldman Lesson — Keep It Simple, Avoid Exotic Strategies 22:05 — Risk Management — Buffers, Insurance, LVR And Avoiding Forced Sales 25:27 — Final Takeaway — Build The Snowball And Protect The Downside If you're ready to build a serious portfolio, remember to Subscribe!
