Expert analysis, market trends, and practical advice for property investors
Perth's numbers look incredible. 89% growth in five years. But a Perth developer with 20 years of experience just told me: don't buy. The cycle data says he's right.
A Chinese tech CEO wrote a book about 'true demand.' Her framework perfectly explains what a buyer's agent actually provides — and why most people don't realise they need one until it's too late.
Walk through a completed granny flat we built in Narre Warren. Every material, every cost, every specification — from the 3kW solar system to the double-glazed windows.
I've watched 50,000+ followers make the same offer mistake: blindly increasing their price when the agent says it's too low. One question changes the entire negotiation.
I'm going to share something our paid members usually hear first. Hampton Park is the suburb I'd buy in tomorrow if I had a $700K budget and wanted maximum 10-year compound growth with positive cash f
I keep hearing people say they'll buy when rates come down. The historical data says that's one of the most expensive mistakes you can make. Let me show you the charts.
I just came back from inspecting two granny flat build sites. What I found made my blood run cold. Chinese manufacturers are cutting corners that could leave you with unlimited legal liability.
Agents are professional negotiators working for the other side. The information you volunteer in the first five minutes of an open inspection can cost you $50,000.
My mate nearly had a meltdown the week before settlement. He'd budgeted for the deposit. He hadn't budgeted for the other $56,000.
Australia's cost of living is brutal. New migrants are in shock. But the same crisis that makes life expensive is creating the strongest rental market in recorded history.
I just came back from inspecting two granny flats we're building. Let me walk you through every component — from the stumps to the roof — and show you exactly what $80,000 buys.
Everyone in property tells you it's a trade-off: high growth or high yield. Pick one. After 200 transactions, I can tell you that's wrong. Here's how we get both.
A friend of mine ignored my advice, bought in Sunshine for $1.1 million, tried to convert the ground floor to commercial. He lost roughly $200,000. Let me show you exactly where he went wrong.
The CGT 50% discount costs the budget $247 billion over the next decade. 59% of that benefits the richest 1%. But every government that's tried to reform it has failed. Here's why.
It's the most common question I get: can I use my first-home buyer stamp duty exemption and then secretly rent the property out? Short answer: no. Long answer: let me explain the three ways this destr
After years in the trenches buying hundreds of investment properties, I've built a mental blacklist. Four property types that look attractive but destroy returns every single time.
The economic data says Australia is booming. Your bank account says otherwise. I pulled apart the numbers to find out which one is lying — and what it means for property.
Australia's population density is higher than Beijing's. I know that sounds absurd. I checked the data three times before I believed it myself. But once you understand the maths, the property market m
I've renovated over a hundred properties in Melbourne. Half of them taught me the same painful lesson: it's not about the renovation. It's about who you're renovating for — and what you paid.
One of these signs is a yellow flag. Three is dangerous. All five and you're financially finished. I see these patterns weekly from clients who come to us after their first purchase went sideways.
Melbourne still has suburbs where a $700K house can pull $900 a week in rent. Lynbrook is one of them. But there are three streets where buying would be a catastrophic mistake.
Everyone has an opinion on negative gearing. Almost nobody remembers what happened the last time a government actually tried to scrap it. I dug through the data. The results are uncomfortable for both
Everyone wants a bigger deposit. Nobody wants to talk about the income side of the equation. Here's how remote work changed everything for me — and why it matters for property investors.
