Welcome to Australian Property Chat. Here two ex-Treasury Economists have a chat about all things Aussie Real Estate. On the show, we aim to cut through the poor quality property education out there, with a NO BS attitude to Real Estate. I'm Redom Syed, founder of Confidence Finance, an award-winning mortgage broking company thatโs worked with 1000s of homebuyers and investors across the country. I came from very little. When I was 15, both my parents lost their jobs and our family lost the house & car to debt collectors. Since then, I've built one of Australia's best mortgage broking businesses from the ground up - ranking inside the top 100 mortgage brokers for 5 years running. I've also built up a $25million property portfolio, buying my first home in 2014 to developing luxury homes across Sydney today. On this journey, I've met 1000s of amazing people who've helped inspire me. On this show, I bring to you my experience, my education and my network of fellow property professionals all with one aim: to educate you on how to grow wealth through property.

Property investing isn't one-size-fits-all - it comes down to your circumstances. In this episode Kurt and I open up three real, live client scenarios we're working on right now and show exactly how each one is being structured to build wealth in a tough 2026 market.
Three profiles, one goal, three very different playbooks: a first-time investor on a casual income who engineered their borrowing power to buy in Sydney, an advanced investor using a lender mix and a growing side business to fund a third purchase, and a business owner with a trust-and-company portfolio weighing up $2 million versus $5 million of borrowing.
What you'll learn:
Chapters
0:00 Intro: 3 investor stories
2:24 Scenario 1: the first-time investor
4:20 Engineering income to unlock borrowing power
10:06 Why the right lender mattered (saving LMI twice)
14:07 Scenario 2: the advanced investor with a side business
15:51 The lender mix and the refinance exit plan
19:03 Why income acceleration is everything
22:09 Scenario 3: the complex business owner
23:17 Splitting entities across banks: $2M vs $5M
25:47 Why more borrowing power isn't always the answer
26:58 Changing gears: from growth to lowering risk

The Australian economy has had a rough few years, but there is one genuine silver lining hiding in the data - and it is already reshaping where property demand is heading.
The whole world is leaning on AI, and all of that usage has to be powered somewhere. That "somewhere" is increasingly Australia: a safe, stable country with land, sun, water potential and space to build. The result is a wave of AI data centre investment that behaves a lot like the early-2000s mining boom - huge capital flowing in, big spillover effects, and a footprint concentrated in very specific parts of the country.
In this episode, Redom Syed and Kurt unpack what an AI data centre actually is, why so much global capital is targeting Australia, and what it means for property investors - both the opportunities and the risks.
๐ What you'll learn:
๐ Why data centre investment drove the majority of Australia's recent GDP growth, and how it echoes the mining boom
๐ What a data centre really is, and why it works like a giant, fast-moving property development
๐ Why Australia specifically is such a magnet for global AI capital - land, power, water, safety
๐ Where the money is concentrating: Western Sydney, Western Melbourne, the Hunter and Geelong
๐ How the spillover effects - jobs, wages, a renewable energy build-out and construction demand - ripple through the economy
๐ Why this could keep upward pressure on construction costs and slow interest rate falls
๐ What it may mean for blue collar vs white collar property markets, and how to think about your strategy

Investor borrowing power has been smashed. It's July 2026, the first month of the new financial year, and investor lending has fallen off a cliff. Our own numbers at Flint are down around 40% year on year, and across the buyer's-agent industry sign-ups are down 50 to 70%.
The rules have changed - but if your circumstances still stack up, you can keep growing a portfolio. It just takes a smarter, more creative playbook. In this episode Kurt and I walk through exactly how.
In this discussion we break down the questions we ask investors right now: how to map your "jigsaw" of entities and find hidden capacity, why being over-borrowed in one entity and under-borrowed in another is an opportunity, the creative move of shifting debt into a trust without selling, why cash beats borrowing power on paper, the servicing-vs-deposit trap, and why interest-only terms matter as much as rates.

Residential investing has always been the easy door. Fast valuations, cheap money, release equity, buy again. But with tighter borrowing power, rate rise after rate rise and big changes hitting SMSF lending, more investor demand is being pushed towards commercial property - largely because it is one of the doors still open.
The problem is commercial does not behave like resi. And moving towards it just because it is open is a fast way to make a poor decision.
In this episode I sit down with Curtis from Flint - who has overseen more than 1 billion dollars in lending flows - to unpack how commercial property actually fits inside a property investor's portfolio, how the lending really works, and where the risks sit. We walk through the real numbers on a chunky deal, why the lease matters more than the building, and why in commercial the signed contract is the start of the process, not the end.
๐ What you'll learn:
๐ The difference between owner-occupier and passive commercial investing, and why banks treat them differently
๐ The rule-of-thumb numbers - why a 70% loan needs roughly a 7% net yield to stack up, and how lease-doc lending works
๐ Why the lease, the tenant and the strength of the business paying rent matter more than the bricks
๐ How value is forced in commercial - fix the vacancy, get a tenant on a good lease, lift the asset value
๐ A real scenario - buying a shop that has sat vacant for 6 months next to one you already own
๐ Which lenders play where, from the big banks to specialist non-banks, and when to refinance
๐ What SMSF and sub 1.5 million dollar commercial buys look like, and why you should budget a 35% deposit
๐ Why the buying process is longer - due diligence, expensive valuations, app fees and 90-day settlements
My read at the end is measured: in conditions like these, play defence. Commercial being the open door does not make it the right door. What you are really buying is the lease, and a view on where the economy is heading.

The last 90 days have fundamentally changed the Australian economy.
Three rate rises from the RBA, a wave of government tax changes, and the "everything everywhere" boom of last year has flipped into the fastest housing decline we have seen - and almost all of it is self-inflicted.
So here is my call. I think this is the biggest policy mistake I have watched an Australian government make, and it forces the other side of the trade: 6 to 8 rate cuts by the end of 2027. In this episode Curtis and I put our Treasury hats on and walk through exactly why, step by step.
In this discussion we trace the chain reaction - a 20% collapse in property transactions, the housing multiplier that drags the whole economy down with it, credit growth falling off a cliff, record-low confidence, and a trillion-dollar wealth wipeout - then why all of that forces the RBA back to neutral, and what it means if you are buying.
What you'll learn:

The government has just moved to ban SMSF lending for residential property, with a cut-off around the middle of August 2026. If you run a self-managed super fund and you have ever thought about using it to buy an investment property, this is the change that closes that door.
In this episode we walk through the policy itself, who it hits, and the exact steps and timing involved if an SMSF purchase is something you are looking into. We also dig into why this one is hard to make sense of as policy, given SMSF buyers tend to sit at the lower-risk, longer-hold end of the market.
What we cover:
๐ What the ban actually does - no new SMSF loans for residential property, while commercial property and other assets are untouched
๐ Why new and off-the-plan residential is caught too, and what that means for developers relying on presales
๐ The real timeline - roughly 45 days after royal assent, landing around mid August (exact date still to be confirmed)
๐ The boxes you need ticked before the cut-off - SMSF set up, cash moved in, bare trust in place, and the contract signed in the bare trust's name
๐ Why moving your super across is usually the slowest part of the process
๐ Roughly where SMSF lending rates and LVRs sit right now, and why this lending is slower and more paperwork-heavy than a personal loan
๐ The step-by-step if you want to explore it - speak to a broker, speak to an accountant, and start the property search at the same time
This is general information about a policy change, not a recommendation to buy. Whether an SMSF purchase suits your situation is a question for a licensed adviser and your accountant - the adviser handles the structure, we handle the asset.

Melbourne apartments have become one of the most debated investment opportunities in Australia and the data is starting to tell a very interesting story.
In this episode, we break down three Melbourne suburbs that we're actively investing in right now and explain the exact frameworks behind those decisions. Rather than relying on opinions or headlines, we explore the metrics that matter most: rental yields, vacancy rates, supply constraints, replacement costs, days on market and the growing gap between house and apartment prices.
We dive deep into St Kilda, Prahran and Bundoora, examining why these locations stand out in the current market and how investors can identify similar opportunities before the broader market catches on.
If you're considering Melbourne property investment, apartment investing or simply want to understand where value still exists in today's market, this episode is packed with actionable insights.

Australia's property and economic landscape is shifting fast and if you're a buyer, seller or investor, you need to understand what's happening right now.
In this episode, we break down the full interest rate story for 2026, what the latest inflation data really means, and why Sydney and Melbourne property prices are falling at nearly 1% per month. We unpack the RBA's dual mandate dilemma, the rising unemployment numbers and what leading economists are predicting for the rest of the year.
We take opposing views on what comes next โ one of us sees rates flatlining or rising once more before a long period of stability, while the other makes a bold contrarian call: the Australian economy is far weaker than the data suggests, a rate-cutting cycle is coming sooner than most expect, and this current downturn is actually creating a rare golden buying window. Particularly at the top end of Sydney and Melbourne.
We also cover:
๐ Why May and June are the weakest months for sellers
๐ How top-end properties are already seeing 10%+ price declines
๐ The "wealth effect" and how falling house prices flow into the broader economy
๐ The AI employment storm and its impact on job creation
๐ Why throwing low-ball offers right now might be the smartest move
๐ What the smart money (the "heavy hitters") are doing in this market
Whether you're sitting on the fence, actively buying or trying to hold on as a seller this episode gives you the honest, unfiltered view of where we are and where we're heading.

Most residential property investors hit a wall โserviceability stalls, borrowing power dries up and growth grinds to a halt. In this episode, we sit down with commercial broker Ben Robinson to break down exactly how to keep building your portfolio by moving into commercial property.
Ben unpacks the real frameworks behind commercial property lending: how lease doc loans work, what LVRs and deposits actually look like, the difference between loan terms and amortization and why those "scary" review clauses are nothing to fear. We also walk through a powerful real-world case study where a client used a mezzanine value-add play to refinance, slash their rate by up to 2%, and pull cash back out.
If you're a residential investor curious about commercial, or already in the commercial space and wanting to grow smarter, this one is packed with insights you won't get anywhere else.

Two weeks on from what we're calling the worst budget for property investors in our lifetimes, we sit down to unpack exactly what changed and what you need to do about it.
The government has removed negative gearing on existing properties, overhauled capital gains tax with a new indexation method, introduced a 30% minimum tax and changed how trusts and family distributions work. On top of that, the RBA has hit investors with three back-to-back rate rises. Borrowing power has been smashed, and the rules of the property game have flipped almost overnight.
In this episode we go deep on the three major changes, the 1% capital-growth "break-even" rule between new and existing property, who the relative winners and losers are (hint: SMSFs and yield-focused assets just got more attractive), and why borrowing capacity is dropping by hundreds of thousands of dollars for many investors.
But here's the big message: this is noise. Your individual plan still matters most and uncertainty like this is often a golden window of opportunity for decisive buyers.

Buying a Melbourne apartment without doing proper due diligence is one of the most expensive mistakes you can make in property. In this episode, Redom sits down with Adi to walk through the exact 49-point checklist they use before recommending any apartment to a client.
This isn't theory. This is the live process a team actively buying Melbourne apartments runs on every single property that comes through their doors - and the reason they reject 9 out of 10.
We unpack:
๐ Why building size and density is the number one filter
๐ The owner-occupier mix rule every apartment investor needs to know
๐ What the strata report actually tells you - and what to look for
๐ Why natural light and layout affect resale more than most investors realise
๐ The mixed-use and student accommodation traps to avoid
๐ How to read a sinking fund and why it matters
๐ The street-level checks that no desktop DD can replace
๐ Real examples of apartments that failed the checklist - and why
If you're buying a Melbourne apartment in 2026 - or thinking about it - this episode gives you the exact framework to make sure you get it right.
Whether you're a first-time investor, an experienced buyer or someone trying to understand what separates a great Melbourne apartment from a liability - this one is essential viewing.

In Part 1, we made the macro case. Approvals down 70โ91% across Melbourne's inner suburbs. Prices below replacement cost. Brisbane apartments did 70โ90% growth from the same setup.
This is Part 2. We got on a plane, drove the streets, and found exactly what the data was pointing to.
In this episode we go deep on one specific suburb - Footscray.
We walk the streets, stand in front of the properties, run the numbers live, and reveal the three specific apartment types Alaya is buying for clients right now.
We cover:
๐ Why Footscray specifically โ the local case for this suburb
๐ The $1.5 billion hospital and 4,500+ jobs changing the inner west permanently
๐ The feasibility math โ why no developer will build here and what that means for you
๐ The due diligence checklist โ what to look for that you won't find in a house purchase
๐ Opportunity 1: Newish 5โ10 year apartments at $450โ550k, 6โ6.5% yield, below replacement cost
๐ Opportunity 2: Older double-brick blocks at $350k, 7โ8% yield, entry from $35โ40k โ Alaya's primary buy
๐ Opportunity 3: Whole blocks for advanced investors โ $3โ5M, 6.5โ7% yield, land component included
๐ The value-add play: renovate a block, yield goes from 4% to 7โ8% on cost, hold to retirement
๐ Real on-ground clips, real numbers, real properties
This isn't a prediction. Alaya is already buying here.

For 10 years, Melbourne apartments were the worst investment in Australia.
People bought off the plan at $450,000 and sold a decade later at a loss. The data backed it up. Every expert said the same thing - stay away.
But something has changed. And most investors haven't noticed yet.
In this episode, Adi and I make the bold call - Melbourne apartments are about to do what Brisbane apartments did in 2021. The same supply collapse. The same demand surge. The apartments that were $280,000 in Brisbane are now trading close to $600,000. Melbourne is at the same point Brisbane was in 2021.
We cover:
๐ Why building approvals have collapsed 70-91% across Melbourne's inner suburbs
๐ The feasibility math that makes new construction impossible right now
๐ How the Brisbane apartment cycle plays out - and why Melbourne is next
๐ The demand drivers stacking up - migration, population growth, affordability push
๐ Why this opportunity suits every type of investor from first-timers to advanced
๐ The bold call Redom makes live on air - and what he's personally doing about it
If you've been told to avoid Melbourne apartments - this episode will change how you think about that.

Australia may be on the verge of major tax changes that could significantly impact property investors.
A new Senate report expected on March 17, 2026 is looking at changes that could double the tax paid by property investors through adjustments to capital gains tax and other investment incentives.
In this video, we break down:
๐ What the proposed tax changes are
๐ Why the government is considering them
๐ How they could impact property investors
๐ The potential effects on housing supply and the rental crisis
๐ What investors should be thinking about right now
Many investors rely on incentives like the 50% capital gains tax discount, but proposals could reduce or remove these benefits. That could dramatically change the economics of investing in Australian property.
If you invest in property โ or are thinking about investing โ this is something you need to understand before making your next move.

Most property investors donโt fail because of bad deals โ they fail because they donโt understand the frameworks that control portfolio growth.
In this episode, we break down the real-world lending, debt and strategic decisions that determine whether an investor can scale from their first few properties to a $2โ4 million+ portfolio and beyond.
We explore how debt-to-income ratios, lending policies and non-bank options impact borrowing capacity, why portfolio growth eventually slows for most investors and what strategies experienced investors use to keep moving forward even in changing market conditions.
If youโre serious about building a long-term property portfolio, understanding how lenders think is just as important as finding good properties.
This conversation covers:
๐ The frameworks behind successful property portfolio execution
๐ Why most investors hit a borrowing ceiling
๐ How non-bank lending fits into a growth strategy
๐ The role of time, holding periods and compounding
๐ Realistic expectations for scaling to $4M+
๐ Market conditions and policy constraints investors must adapt to
Whether youโre early in your investing journey or already building scale, this episode gives you clarity on what actually limits growth โ and how to plan around it.

In this episode, we dive deep into Advanced Investor Lending and how sophisticated property investors continue to grow their portfolios in a high-interest-rate, low-borrowing-capacity environment.
The conversation unpacks how smart investors separate emotion from assets, focus on strategy over sentiment and use lending structures as tools rather than limitations. We explore real Australian case studies showing how investors in their early 30s have scaled to five or more properties by prioritizing income growth, manufactured equity and capital growth over yield.
Youโll hear practical examples of:
๐ Creating equity through renovations and timing
๐ Leveraging personal income and commission-based careers
๐ When to sell a PPOR instead of holding it as an investment
๐ Advanced debt structuring, recycling and tax efficiency
๐ Partner-to-partner property transfers and creative lending setups
๐ How elite investors keep scaling even when banks say โnoโ
This episode is essential viewing for investors who already own property and want to move beyond basic buy-and-hold strategies into deliberate, scalable wealth creation.

In this episode, we deep-dive into the Newcastle property market and unpack why itโs emerging as one of Australiaโs most compelling long-term investment locations.
Joined by Ben Robinson, a leading Newcastle mortgage broker and property strategist, we explore how Newcastle has evolved from its industrial roots into a lifestyle-driven, economically diversified regional city. The conversation covers migration trends from Sydney, remote work, infrastructure, affordability near the beach and how technology and AI may reshape where Australians choose to live by 2035.
We break down residential vs commercial opportunities, discuss unit blocks, industrial warehouses near the port and explain why Newcastle shares striking similarities with other successful transition cities like Geelong.

2026 is setting off alarm bells across property and credit markets โ and history may be warning us again.
In this episode, we break down the 18.6-year property and credit cycle, a controversial but compelling theory that suggests major housing corrections tend to repeat when credit expands too far and then suddenly dries up.
We explore:
๐ Why 2026 is being flagged as a danger zone
๐ How past crashes (1970s, 1990s, 2008 GFC) followed similar patterns
๐ The four phases of the property cycle: reset, recovery, boom, speculation
๐ Whether Australia is truly different โ or just feels safer
๐ What property investors should actually do right now
This isnโt fear-mongering. Itโs about understanding credit behaviour, leverage and risk so you can make smarter decisions heading into the next phase of the cycle.

Property investors are facing the biggest lending shift in years.
In this episode, we break down whatโs really happening behind the scenes as banks quietly tighten lending, regulators step in and highly leveraged investors start getting blocked.
In just the last few months, major banks have changed how they assess investor loans, company and trust structures are being shut down, and APRA is targeting high debt-to-income borrowers. If youโre planning to grow a property portfolio in 2025โ2026, this is information you canโt afford to ignore.
We unpack:
๐ Why investor lending has suddenly become harder
๐ How APRA is targeting debt-to-income ratios
๐ Why banks are declining deals that wouldโve passed months ago
๐ What this means for property prices and portfolio growth
๐ How investors should adapt moving into 2026
This isnโt media fear-mongering. This is whatโs actually happening when applications hit bank credit teams.

2025 was unlike any year weโve seen in Australian property.
In this episode, we break down the โEverything, Everywhere, Everyone Property Boomโ โ what caused it, where it peaked and why itโs now officially over as we move into 2026.
We unpack:
๐ The three rate cuts and why they fueled housing โ but not the broader economy
๐ Why Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide, Darwin and Hobart exploded while Sydney & Melbourne slowed
๐ The shift from a macro boom to targeted, city-specific growth
๐ Population growth slowing โ and why it still matters more than ever
๐ Housing shortages, investor demand, yields and credit growth
๐ Why 2026 will require a magnifying glass, not a dartboard approach
This is a city-by-city, economics-driven recap of the year that was โ and a clear framework for how serious investors should think going forward.

We deep dive into a groundbreaking new lending strategy for property investors โ the ability to move personal property debt into a trust or company structure without changing ownership titles. We discuss whatโs changed, who this strategy benefits and the crucial risks investors must understand before making the switch.
We outline how this approach can unlock borrowing power, particularly for self-employed individuals or those with multiple income sources, while warning that it may not suit early investors or PAYG earners. Through real-life examples, the conversation breaks down when and why this structure makes sense โ and when it can backfire.
Main Takeaways:
๐ New lending opportunity: refinancing personal property loans into a trust.
๐ Who benefits: self-employed, high-income, multi-entity investors.
๐ Risks: limited lender support, refinancing restrictions and tax complexity.
๐ Real example: an investor unlocks $1M in borrowing power through trust structuring.
๐ Key advice: strategy must align with clear investment goals and accountant guidance.

We deep dive into the current Sydney market and talk through the slower winter period.
In summary:
1. The energy is back heading into Spring season.
2. The affordable markets of Sydney are doing very well
3. Price growth is decent in cheaper markets, while weak in more expensive markets.
The interest rate certainty that has come to the marketplace has helped add some confidence for the Spring Selling Season.

We deep dive into the latest inflation data moments after its release.
Trimmed mean inflation, the RBAโs preferred measure of inflation, came in at 0.8% for the June Quarter. Headline inflation came in at 1%, up 3.8% for the year.
Making up this inflation data:
โญ โNon tradables inflationโ came in at 5%, unchanged from last quarter. This shows domestic based inflation pressures are now driving inflation.
โญ Goods inflation both ticked up a bit to 3.2% for the year
โญ Services inflation came in higher at 4.5%.
What does this mean for interest rates?
โญ While this print does not rule anything in or out, itโs unlikely to drive an interest rate increase next month.
Overall this is encouraging news for mortgage holders. This data set was perceived as โdangerousโ.
If it came in above expectations, there was a high chance it could drive a rate rise. This print is more than likely going to continue the โholding patternโ the Reserve Bank of Australia are currently in.
The AUD fell on the news, and the share market went up - indicating traders will pare back bets on any rate rise next week.
Encouragingly, lead data on HOUSING, which makes up 22% of the CPI basket, shows positive signs to future CPI releases. Both asking rents and construction costs are rising at a slower rate. This should put downward pressure on future inflation data.

Property Investing is all about YOU. So what type of investor are you?
We try to help provide clarity, by sharing our experiences working with 1000s of property investors over the past 10 years.
We categorise each investor group with:
1. What is your goal?
2. What mindset do you have to investing?
3. What Finance strategy suits you?
4. What type of property investing suits you?
5. How do you time your investments?
6. How often are you looking for investments?

Wealth Investors: Those looking to translate their savings into investments and build wealth over time. Safe, secure, step by step investing. This is 80-90% of all property investors
The opportunity investors: Those that use their income stream to accelerate their wealth creation. They are focused on growing their portfolio and are willing to take on more risk to do it.
The advanced investor: Those that are ALWAYS investing and don't want to hold cash, but would rather have riskier investments.

5 years on, Covid is still driving some WEIRD outcomes to the housing market. We unpack 3 areas that are NOT back to normal just yet and what it means for property investors across the country.
Population Yo-Yo: The biggest fall in 50 years, and then the biggest rise a couple years later. Despite little change in the overall population expectation over a 5 year period, this has caused rapid rental inflation.
Construction market: The big inflation in construction markets has driven strange outcomes in housing supply figures.
Interest Rates & Macro settings: The big fiscal stimulus has driven a big change in inflation figures, that are driving interest rates and property values today.

Inflation data has come in too hot once again, and its increased the chance of rate rises again.
With the Australian economy no longer growing and population growth slowing down, it is quite likely any further rate rises will be known as the 'recession rate rises'.
We are at a pivot point in this economic cycle, and 30 days away from a major policy decision that could have significant knock on effects for employment, housing & the economy.

Every negotiation is about information, education & working together to getting a deal done.
It is FAR easier to get deals done with experience, information than without.
So, how do you, someone who doesnt actually buy property very often - get a successful conclusion?
Its not as simple as picking out an apple at the store and buying it.
There's generally more than one bidder for the property you want to buy, so you may not actually get what you want. Price, terms, etc are all negotiable.
In this episode, we talk about ways you can increase the chances of getting a successful property deal done.
We attempt to uplift your information by educating yourself exactly HOW to present offers and get a deal done.

As an individual property investor, you will be making a very very small number of property investments in your lifetime. Even Australia's Billionaire property developers make up a very small amount of total transactions.
This means you should, and CAN, target SPECIFIC properties that OUTPERFORM.
The rise of buyers agents and property courses has elevated the entire industry forward and helped property investors move forward dramatically by opening up the entire country, educating us all and helping us make better decisions.
Nonetheless, this approach has also promoted targeting 'AVERAGE' individual properties. There's simply more of them available, which helps promote transactions and in turn deliver outcomes for lots of property investors who they represent.
This DOES NOT need to be YOU though.
YOU make only a handful.
Average simply shouldnt be the hurdle for good enough.
We unpack how to find properties that will outperform because they benefit from AUSTRALIA's DOUBLING POPULATION in our lifetimes.

Picking areas that are about to BOOM is entirely predictable.
In fact, this is far easier to do than picking areas that MAY do well in the years ahead. Typically these markets have all the features of HIGH DEMAND, LOW SUPPLY
That combination means prices are going to rise. Perhaps first in the rental market, and then spillover to the housing market.
In this episode, we go through each KEY metric to look at.
Now theres lots and lots of data points, so weโll focus on the ones that REALLY matter and show close correlation with SHORT TERM BOOM!
All of this is less about the economy itself โ its likely thatโs already doing very well. Its about DEMAND vs SUPPLY IMBALANCES across the rental and housing markets.

INVESTOR SPECIAL SERIES 1/4: Over the past 10 years, Iโve had the pleasure of working with the best, 1000s of property investors, etc. This has framed my property investing strategy, the โalpha-betaโ strategy.
Property markets work in cycles. If the average growth rate is 6%, then that is made up of years of 20%+ growth and years of no growth.
As property investors, we want to buying in areas that are going to do very well soon. We want to minimise the amount of time before the next BOOM comes around.
But we also want to be buying BEFORE that BOOM is in place. The earlier you buy here, the more risk it comes with. Things change. Its all a lot more uncertain.
In this episode, we cover 5 factors that help manage that uncertainty by increasing the likelihood an area is going to do well. Its all about the ECONOMY. A state, a capital, an area where the economy is going to perform really well and much better than it usually does, is going to do well.

Should i invest in an apartment? Many property investing experts say NO. Indeed, so many of the best buyers agents in Australia simply DO NOT buy apartments.
But Sydney apartments are now growing at DOUBLE the rate of houses.
Are they overlooking the data?
We unpack WHY apartments may be set for short term growth, including:
Value - apartments are showing strong value signals, being significantly underpinned relative to houses vs history. A typical 20% spread in median dwelling values has DOUBLED in recent years.
Affordability - lower price points are the name of the high interest rate game! Apartments are more affordable, and that means more demand in a money-strapped environment.
Supply - we are NOT building enough, don't have enough & aren't even approving enough. The supply pipeline is horrible, with around HALF of the total apartment supply required actually being delivered over the 3 year period ahead.
Population - new entrants & students often prefer apartment living. With the population boom underway, does that add to more demand for apartments?

Inflation came in at 1% for Q1 2024 in a big economic release. This was above market expectations, coming in way too high and is a cause for concern. Inflation is the number one data item that the RBA look at, and with this high number, rate cut talks for the foreseeable future are over.
The RBA removed its stance on 'increasing interest rates' at its last meeting, but is likely to reinclude it next week and warn Australian's that further rate rises may be required to quell the inflation beast.

In this episode, we deep dive directly into what will happen to borrowing powers in 2024.

What will this all do to property prices? If Scenario 4 comes to life with employment markets remaining strong enough, its likely to bring forward the next leg up of the housing cycle to 2025-2026.

Could this spark the next property boom later in the year or in 2025?

Australian economy is beginning to slow quickly. The latest economic scorecard doesnโt officially put us in a recession, we are dangerously close to it. If you stripped population growth out, we have already hit that dreaded R word. We are also becoming less productive. Our savings rate has plummeted. Our household spending has nosedived. Overall โ the data is clear, higher interest rates are working, and as result, we are all moving backwards.
We go through the latest economic scorecard, discuss latest employment data & what it means for interest rates in 2024.

What is Australiaโs inflation story NOW & into 2024? This is the no 1 qn on the RBAโs minds at the moment. Answer this correctly and you have a pretty close line to what will happen to interest rates.
Weโre going to dig into the detail of the inflation story. More specifically were going to uncover these three themes:
1. Inflation is now a DOMESTIC problem, no longer a global supply issue
2. Rents are being misjudged by the RBA โ and it can be costly for Australians

The RBA Have Increased Interest Rates Again to 4.10%. Itโs a hammer financial and psychological blow for households across the country.
Thatโs 1% increase to rates in 2023 already, after 3% increases in 2022. For a million-dollar mortgage, repayments up to nearly 6k p/m from 3.7k a year ago. Up 62%!
In this episode, we discuss:
Why they made this move
Is this the RBA's insurance policy at work?
Are the mixed messages by the RBA intentional?
We then delve into the housing market?
Will this finally be the hurdle that slows down the housing market?ย Is a second โdouble dipโ coming? Will Aussies be forced to sell up?

We go through a big new improvement in the mortgage market and how it helps Aussies all across the country.
Mortgage Prisoners stuck on their existing loan terms now have options!
A major bank has announced a 1% buffer rate policy instead of the current 3% buffer.
After 11 rate rises, the eligibility tests for refinancing got much harder in 2023. Borrowers with perfect repayment histories had to prove they could absorb another 3 percentage point increase in interest rates. That is an unrealistic benchmark for someone simply seeking to swap their existing bank.
This benchmark issue meant hundreds of thousands of borrowers were stuck with their existing providers. Now, borrowers with good repayment histories only need to prove they can continue to meet repayments with a 1% increase from here.
This helps improve competition, by providing options.
Some banks have been using their data to work out who's trapped and offer them lower discounts as a result of their poor bargaining position. That practice is under threat now, with more and more of these borrowers now having more options to refinance.
Hence it is a big win for Aussie borrowers, and not so good for some banks. To put it into perspective, reducing the buffer rate by a full 2 percentage points (from 3 to 1) is equivalent to:
Rewinding the clock to July 2022, winding back ~8 of the 11 rate rises.
Improving borrowing power by over 20-25%
If you could borrow the money from before, you're likely to be able to borrow the money again. The new assessment hurdles are a bit higher than this time last year, but not dramatically. Most borrowers have not borrowed to their maximums either.

In this episode, Curtis & I wind back the years and put back our 'Treasury' hats on, and unpack this year's federal budget.ย We also deep dive into the latest Statement of Monetary Policy by the Reserve Bank and what it means for interest rates in the months ahead.
On the budget, we run through:
Will the additional spending put more inflation pressure on the economy?
Will it mean more rate rises?
Is it large enough to matter?
Will the RBA be paying attention?
The key theme of today's podcast goes back to what all this means for housing & interest rates.

In a shock to markets, the RBA have delivered another interest rate increase.ย
Markets, economists and just about everybody had this wrong, pricing in a 0% chance of a rate rise.ย Instead, the RBA came in with a surprise and decided to increase interest rates for the 11th time in a year.
In a blow to Aussie borrowers, the RBA have re-affirmed their inflation fight by taking the cash rate to 3.85%.ย That is a whopping 57% repayment increase for someone who obtained a $1million loan just one year ago.
In this breaking podcast, we run through:
Why the RBA decided to raise rates this month, but not last
Explain why its a surprise to markets, but not completely unexpected.

Yesterday, on the 26th of April, inflation data covering the Jan-March 2023 period was released.
It confirms that Inflation officially peaked in Australia in late 2022, and has been on its way down since.ย Thankfully for Aussie borrowers seeking some relief from interest rate pain, it came in lower than expected.
In this episode, we unpack why:
1. Media reporting of 7% is misleading
2.ย Why inflation is such an important data release
3.ย The inflation data release itself; I find its one of the most misunderstood pieces of data.
4.ย What It means for interest rates in the months ahead
5.ย What it means for housing over the coming months

The RBA has decided to leave the cash rate UNCHANGED.
This is the first time interest rates have NOT increased since May last year.
Simply, the RBA wants to wait and collect more information on the state of the economy before assessing next steps for interest rates.
They have also softened their language on further interest rate rises, noting that they expect 'SOME' further tightening 'MAY' well be needed, instead of explicitly stating that further rate rises are expected.
While further rate rises may indeed occur, this is far less certain now. The language used indicates that this RBA rate rising cycle may be over.
In this episode of Australian Property Talk, we go through:
- WHY the RBA paused now.ย
- We play pretend RBA board members and run through the latest data points on the Aussie economy. ย
- Finally,ย we go through whats happening to property markets and how this will feed through.ย

Interest rates continue their march upwards.ย In this episode we cover why the RBA are being clear & direct about rate rises and their forecasts for the Aussie economy.
We discuss a few economic insights including:

The Reserve Bank of Australia has just lifted interest rates by another 0.25%, in a call widely expected by most economists.ย The cumulative impact of 9 consecutive interest rate rises is an increase in repayments of ~$1,950 for a $1 million mortgage.ย That is 50% rise in mortgage repayments in under 12 months!
In this pod, we unpack WHY the RBA made their rate decision, and what is likely to happen next.
What drove this interest rate increase decision?
Inflation is well above their target band, and is at 6.9% in underlying terms, above expectations.
They noted that 'tighter financial conditions will constrain spending more broadly' in 2023 and beyond.
They did note some adjustments to their inflation expectation timeframes & unemployment estimates. Further details will be released in the Statement of Monetary Policy released tomorrow.
The RBA continue to monitor labour costs to ensure that the economy does not enter a wage-price spiral.

Property market conditions are a function of the financial conditions that are in place for borrowers across Australia.ย
When banks give you more money and make it cheaper, property booms.ย When they take it away or make it more expensive, property performs poorly.
In this episode, were going to drill down into the detail of current financial conditions and benchmark lending conditions on four key metrics:ย
1.ย ย ย ย ย Interest rates โ how much debt costs
2.ย ย ย ย ย Borrowing capacity โ how much debt you can get
3.ย ย ย ย ย Credit policies โ how easily banks are providing debt
4.ย ย ย ย ย Competitiveness โ how many options you have
Understanding lending conditions is key to working out what may happen to property markets in 2023.

Where interest rates go this year will likely be the number 1 driver for property prices in Australia in 2023.ย It is the number 1 question we're getting asked at the moment.
In the first episode of 2023,ย we run through the four possible scenarios for interest rates for 2023.ย At the end of the episode, we discuss what impact each of these scenarios will have on property prices.ย
The four scenarios are:
1. The RBA pause at 3.10% and stop raising rates
2. They have two-three more rate rises and peak at 3.60-3.85%.
3. There is a 1%+ increase in interest rates in 2023 and the cash rate goes well past 4%.
4. The RBA cuts interest rates later in 2023.

A debate between two ex-treasury economists on where inflation will be in the long term.ย On one hand, Redom debates inflation will be low again once this period subsides.ย On the flipside, Curtis debates that inflation will be structurally higher in the long term.
INFLATION has taken hold in Australia and much of the developed world.ย Finally, after being a sleeping dragon for decades, inflation woken up breathed fire to the global economy causing massive disruption to property prices.
But what is inflation?
What is happening to inflation at the moment?
Whatย will happen to inflation in the medium term?
And most importantly, what impact does inflation have on property prices?
What happens to inflation over not only the short term, but the long term is absolutely KEY.ย Inflation will be the main driver of capital growth rates into the future, and hence its WORTH having some understanding and views of inflation rates when deciding to invest in real estate.

Iโm starting this podcast because the quality of property education SUCKS at the moment.
We live in the attention economy.
What that means now is that weโre being taught more and more by teachers who have no idea what theyโre talking about.
We have kids whoโve done very little, understand even less and talk NON stop.
For us, with my own story, a lack of quality education was a BIG reason why my family lost their home when I was 15. Point is, the current education is dangerous. You can just as easily get yourself into trouble by aimlessly following these sheepish advice and buying up a pile of lemons.
On Australian Property Chat, Iโll use my experience to cut through the BS.
The purpose of this is purely to share what I know with the hope that it helps educate you, and that it helps inform your decision making process better.
Weโll talk to our network of fellow property people, about all things driving residential property markets.
Me and my co-host Curtis Stewart have done it all โ not long ago we were first home buyers taking advantage of incentives, weโve bought and held properties, bought H&L packages, made mistakes, learned from them, pivoted, adjusted, and now Iโm a developer in Sydney and have built a sizeable property portfolio.
Our aim is simple on the show, itโs to entertain & educate you about how to grow wealth through property.
