InvestorKit Podcast

Strong population growth. Low vacancy rates. Low unemployment. Most investors have seen these numbers and still picked the wrong market.

Junge Ma, Senior Research Analyst at InvestorKit, breaks down why the go to metrics can create what she calls "fake data" when examined without the full picture, walking us through four of the most common misunderstandings in property data analysis and how a single metric, on its own, can point investors in completely the wrong direction.

If this sparked something, this episode is a must watch for anyone making data-driven property decisions.

Four properties in Werribee. Same suburb, same market, same timeframe. One grew at over 7% per year. The others limped along at 2 to 3%. The difference had nothing to do with timing the market.

Junge Ma from InvestorKit breaks down three real underperforming properties and explains exactly why each one failed to match the suburb's growth. She also reveals exactly what the outperforming property got right.

This episode is a must watch for anyone who wants a practical framework for evaluating any property, not just any suburb.

Australia's 5% deposit scheme was supposed to make home ownership more accessible, and it did, to a point. But a bigger question has been lurking beneath the headlines: did expanding the scheme in October 2025 actually push property prices higher?

Junge Ma, Senior Research Analyst at InvestorKit, digs into the lending data and property market figures to find out what really happened.

Can we believe the media headlines that say the October 2025 expansion of the 5% deposit scheme triggered a widespread property boom, or do first-home buyers simply represent too small a fraction of the market to shift national property trends?

Watch the full episode and discover exactly which areas moved and which ones were unaffected.

Most investors look at past growth and draw one of two conclusions, the market's either had its run or it's overdue for one. But according to Junge Ma, senior research analyst at InvestorKit, both assumptions can lead you seriously astray.

In this episode, Junge Ma unpacks four distinct scenarios where past 10 year growth either signals caution or opportunity and why the same headline number can mean completely different things depending on the market's underlying fundamentals. From a coastal lifestyle region that ran hot during COVID and went flat, to Adelaide suburbs that kept growing despite seemingly being "overcooked", to Melbourne sitting quietly at the start of what could be a strong new cycle...the data tells a far more nuanced story than most investors realise.

If you're serious about picking locations with genuine growth potential, this episode is a must watch.

Junge Ma pulls back the curtain on a property she personally bought and the data that drove every step of the decision. From narrowing down Victorian regional cities to landing on Ballarat, this episode gives a rare inside look at how a property professional actually applies the same research framework she uses with clients to his own portfolio.

The episode walks through the full journey: why Ballarat stacked up on vacancy rates, inventory trends, and local economic fundamentals; the 1930s bungalow in Canadian she settled on for $500,000; and the cosmetic renovation completed in just one month managed entirely interstate through the right property management team.

If you've ever wondered what it actually looks like to buy with a data-led strategy, this episode is the clearest example yet.
