Expert analysis, market trends, and practical advice for property investors
I bought over 150 properties. But this one — this particular conversion in Narre Warren — is the deal I keep coming back to. Because it answers the question I get asked more than any other: can you ac
KPMG named Melbourne as Australia's top-performing capital for 2026, with house prices expected to rise 6.6%. But the growth won't be evenly distributed. Here's where the gains will actually land.
The traditional logic of commercial retail property, pay more for higher foot traffic, is being dismantled by social media. When a single influencer post can fill a restaurant for twelve months, the p
Are you considering upgrading your family home for the school zone, the extra bedroom, or just because you have outgrown the current place? Before you sign anything, I need to share a formula that has
Same immigration obsession. Same property-dependent economy. Same declining productivity. So why did Canada's housing market implode while Australia's kept climbing? Four structural differences that m
I have been buying property professionally for years. I have built my career on knowing Melbourne's streets better than Google Maps. And last month, a piece of software found a deal in sixty minutes t
I've watched clients refresh Domain and CoreLogic valuations daily like checking a stock ticker. The emotional rollercoaster is real — and it's making them worse investors. Here's why those numbers ar
The Australian property management industry is structurally broken. When one manager oversees 170 properties, something has to give: speed, quality, or cost. Most agencies sacrifice all three. Here is
Let me clear something up straight away. Melbourne's land tax is not the highest in Australia, regardless of which bracket you fall into. That narrative is pure media spin. Here is what the actual num
You know why some people on average salaries own five properties while high-income earners get rejected for their second? Because high-income earners keep converting their home into an investment prop
Australia's financial system is not designed to make you wealthy. It is designed to filter out people who cannot control their spending. The kill line does not come for the poorest Australians — they
The agent calls. 'We've got a higher offer — can you increase yours?' That single sentence has cost Australian buyers millions in overpayment. Here are three counter-moves I've refined across hundreds
Australian government databases contain every risk that could affect your property purchase: flood zones, bushfire overlays, high-voltage lines, heritage restrictions. The problem is they are scattere
Whether you own property in Australia or not, there is a free feature inside the REA app that most people have never heard of. It will alert you the moment a property on your street — or any street yo
I've watched first-home buyers lose $50,000 or more through entirely preventable mistakes. Missing the stamp duty exemption threshold by $10K. Skipping building inspections to save $600. Signing contr
The question I get asked most is not about which suburb to buy in. It is this: how do other people your age already own three or four properties when I am still saving for my first? Today I am going t
I've interviewed over 500 people in my career. Exactly one person did the follow-up I'm about to describe. They got the job immediately. The same principle applies to every property negotiation I've e
China's 315 consumer protection investigation exposed how AI training data can be deliberately poisoned. As an IT professional turned buyer's agent, I recognised immediately how the same technique cou
At the start of 2020, I was the first person publicly saying to go all-in on Melbourne. Twelve months later, it is time to open the books. 131 houses purchased, all on 500-plus square metres of land,
People ask me all the time whether they should sell after prices go up 30%. Others want to know if they should cut losses. Both questions miss the point entirely.
Port Hedland: $900-$1,200 per week rent on a $500K house. Sounds like a dream. Until you realise the same houses sold for $1.5M in 2012 and lost two-thirds of their value in three years. Mining town p
Picking the right city and the right suburb is only half the battle. Two houses 200 metres apart can deliver wildly different returns over a decade — and the reasons are invisible to untrained eyes.
Somewhere in Melbourne right now, there is a property investor making $1,300 a week in rent from a single site. And somewhere else, there is a first-timer watching their fourteenth YouTube video about
High interest rates aren't the worst thing facing Australian property. Two hidden bombs — runaway construction costs and looming tax reform — are compounding to create a supply crisis that will lock i
