Property Investment Podcast Network

The property industry is facing a trust test, with questionable advice, buyer's agent practices, and rushed investment decisions putting buyers on alert.
On Property Buzz, Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman unpack the biggest issues facing property investors right now, from misleading investment advice and buyer's agent concerns to the rush before major self-managed super fund (SMSF) changes take effect.
The pair discuss the growing scrutiny around buyer's agents, questioning whether some business models have prioritised sales over investor outcomes.
They also examine the latest developments from the Dashdot collapse, including concerns around upfront fees, investment advice, and the impact on customers left out of pocket.
The duo explores why some investors are being drawn towards questionable opportunities, from expensive apartment purchases to promises of easy returns, and why due diligence remains critical in a shifting market.
Tarrant and Garman then turn to the SMSF borrowing changes, the rush to secure deals before the deadline, and whether policy decisions are accurately reflecting the realities of the property market.
The episode also looks at housing affordability, falling prices, and what a more cautious market means for investors trying to make their next move.

Australia's property market is being reshaped by a new wave of demand. From migration-driven growth corridors to changing rental markets and shifting investor strategies, these are the trends investors cannot afford to ignore.
On the Property Investing Insights podcast, Phil Tarrant is joined by Victor and Reshmi Kumar to discuss how migration, demographics, and changing buyer behaviour are influencing where demand is building across Australia.
The trio share their observations about migration from India, the suburbs seeing increased demand, and why understanding population shifts could help investors identify future opportunities.
They also examine the current market reset, including interest rates, softer conditions, the shift towards cash flow-focused strategies and the changing role of buyer's agents in helping investors navigate a more complex environment.
With the boom-time playbook no longer applying, the trio reveals why data, demographics, and suburb fundamentals are becoming critical for investors looking to stay ahead.

The market is full of fear, but investors waiting for the "perfect time" to buy could be missing the opportunity already unfolding. As confidence falls and buyers hesitate, the next wave of property opportunities could be hiding in plain sight.
On The Smart Property Investment Show, Liam Garman is joined by Steve Ash from Property Strats to shed light on where opportunities are emerging as uncertainty, changing policies, and cautious buyers reshape the market.
The pair explore why investors looking beyond the headlines could gain an advantage, from discounted opportunities in Melbourne to the growing appeal of cash flow-focused strategies.
They also discuss why Australia's property market cannot be judged as one single market, with local supply, demand, rental conditions, and buyer activity creating very different outcomes across suburbs and property types.
As sentiment remains cautious, Ash explains why waiting for certainty could mean missing the opportunities that appear before confidence returns.

Australia's property landscape is changing, but the numbers driving the next investment opportunity go far beyond house prices. From inflation and interest rates to local supply, vacancy rates, and economic resilience, these are the indicators shaping investors' next move.


On The Property Nerds podcast, Arjun Paliwal sits down with PRD chief economist Dr Diaswati (Asti) Mardiasmo to explore how investors can make sense of an increasingly complex market, where economic conditions, government policy, and local market data are becoming just as important as property prices.
The pair discuss the federal budget and its impact on investors, including the changes to negative gearing, capital gains tax, and trusts, while examining why new-build incentives may not translate into the housing supply many expect.
Mardiasmo also explains why buyer's agents are playing a more strategic role than ever before, helping investors interpret economic trends, local market conditions, and suburb-level data rather than simply sourcing properties.
The conversation also explores why local market data matters more than national headlines, and the economic indicators investors should be watching.

Property headlines may be screaming "crash", but Australia's real estate market is far more complex than the news suggests – and investors who rely on the headlines risk missing the bigger picture.
On The Smart Property Investment Show, Liam Garman is joined by Results Mentoring founding mentors Simon Buckingham and Brendan Kelly to discuss what's really happening across Australia's property markets and why broad market commentary often misses the mark.
The pair argue there is no single Australian property market, but thousands of individual markets moving for different reasons.
They explain why investors should ignore sensational headlines and instead focus on local supply, demand, infrastructure, vacancy rates, and economic fundamentals when making investment decisions.
The conversation also examines how higher interest rates, changing tax policies, and shifting buyer sentiment are affecting different parts of the country, with some markets cooling while others continue to present strong opportunities.
Buckingham and Kelly also share the key indicators they monitor before buying property, explaining how data-driven research can help investors identify resilient suburbs, avoid underperforming markets, and make better long-term investment decisions.
