Pizza and Property

Live QnA How the 2026 Budget Changes Portfolio Growth
 
 
Unfiltered access to one of the country's most experienced buyer's agents! In this live Zoom Q&A, host Todd Sloan puts Sam Gordon in front of a studio audience of Pizza & Property listeners and Playbook members. Each with their own portfolio challenges, income constraints, and big questions about what to do next.
 
Borrowing limits, stalled portfolios, units vs houses, rooming houses, granny flats, Melbourne, commercial property. Sam Gordon worked through over a dozen real scenarios from real people trying to figure out their next move. The answers kept pointing to the same thing, but you'll have to watch to see what it is.
 
If your portfolio feels stuck or you're about to make a big call, hit play on the podcast first. It might be the most useful hour you spend this week.

Is Melbourne's Growth Dead in 2026? 
 
 
Is Melbourne already at its peak, or are investors completely missing where the real growth is happening? In this episode, Todd Sloan chats with Dawn Fouhy from Future Proof Property Advisory to unpack what's really going on beneath the surface of Melbourne's property market and why most people are looking in the wrong places.
 
Dawn breaks down why Melbourne should never be treated as one single market. From the surprising rise of suburbs like Frankston North and Carrum Downs to the impact of infrastructure and affordability, she explains where growth is actually occurring and why interest rates haven't shut the door on opportunity just yet.
 
If you want to understand where Melbourne could be heading next and how to position yourself before the next wave hits, this episode gives you the framework to think differently and invest with clarity.

On the Ground: Is Melbourne's East Undervalued?
 
 
What do the streets actually tell you that the data can't? In this On the Ground episode, Todd jumps in the car with Abdullah Nouh, founder of Mecca Property Group, and drives through Melbourne's east to find out whether this suburb is genuinely undervalued or just misunderstood.
 
As they drive, Abdullah breaks down what he's seeing in real time and why a suburb that's only averaged 4.5% growth over the last decade might actually be the most compelling signal in the current market. He also walks Todd through a recently settled off market deal and explains how buyers can manufacture yield in an area most investors have written off.
 
This episode is a street level masterclass in reading a suburb before the headlines catch up. Pull up a map and follow along.
