On the Ground: Darwin 30% Growth in 12 Months... and It's Just Starting
 
 
What really happens when you stop analysing property markets from a spreadsheet and actually drive the streets yourself? In this episode, Todd Sloan and Sam Gordon hit the road across Darwin to see what the data doesn't show.
 
They break down what feels investable, what doesn't, and why "cheap" is not the same as value. It's raw observations, street level insight, yield reality and honest conversations about risk, growth and who these areas are really for.
 
If Darwin is on your radar, or you simply want to understand how experienced investors assess an area in real life, this episode shows exactly what to look for and what to avoid.
 
Watch it through to the end to see whether Darwin genuinely has more growth left in the tank.

$71k Income, $1M Borrowing Power. Here's How!
 
 
Can someone with a $71k salary really borrow a million dollars? In this episode, Todd Sloan sits down with Morgan Bushel from Full Circle Finance to explore how a hypothetical listener, Tom, could increase his borrowing power despite HECS debt, credit cards, and renting.
 
Morgan outlines practical strategies, including cleaning up finances, reducing monthly expenses, exploring second tier banks, and even temporarily living rent-free. Small changes, like lowering credit card limits or boosting income, are shown to have a big impact on borrowing capacity.
 
For anyone looking to grow their property portfolio, this episode provides a clear roadmap to navigate borrowing challenges and take steps toward long term financial success.

Should you Sell Property in 2026 or Hold Long Term?
 
 
Is trading really the fast track to wealth, or is long term investing still the smarter play? In this episode, Todd Sloan sits down with Steve Ash, founder of Property Strats, to unpack the fine line between trading and investing and why so many people fall into the trap of confusing the two.
 
They explore why so many traders lose money, how speculation in crypto and property fuels short term thinking, and why market cycles quietly do the heavy lifting over time. It's a grounded look at what actually builds wealth versus what just feels exciting in the moment.
 
Using a real property example from Western Sydney, Todd and Steve show the power of staying invested, holding through cycles and using equity the right way. If you're focused on long-term results, this episode will reshape how you think about investing.
