Property Investment Podcast Network

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.

Australia's property market is entering another period of uncertainty, with the SMSF borrowing deadline, interest rate speculation, and shifting buyer demand all set to test the market in the months ahead.
On Property Buzz, Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman discuss the SMSF buying rush ahead of the 10 August deadline, what the market could look like once that demand fades, and where opportunities may emerge for prepared buyers.
The pair also examine how tighter borrowing conditions are pushing investors towards higher-yielding properties, and why chasing cash flow alone could come at the expense of long-term performance.
They also turn their attention to the latest trust account theft case, questioning why fraud continues to plague the industry and whether technology can finally remove one of real estate's biggest ongoing risks.

As investors scramble to beat the SMSF deadline, the biggest question is no longer what to buy before August – it's where the best opportunities will be once the market settles.

On the How I Met My Broker podcast, hosts Hung Chuy and Liam Garman are joined by Property Strats founder Steve Ash to discuss the investment opportunities emerging after the federal budget changes and the looming self-managed super fund (SMSF) deadline.

The trio discuss why Melbourne is back on investors' radar, pointing to discounted house prices, improving value and strong long-term fundamentals that could make the city one of Australia's most compelling markets over the coming years.

The conversation also examines the SMSF frenzy ahead of the borrowing ban, with Chuy revealing demand has been so strong his brokerage has stopped taking on new SMSF clients, while Ash explains what investors should expect once the deadline passes.

The trio then explore where investors could turn next, from commercial property and trusts to the potential emergence of a buyer's market, arguing that those with finance in place and a long-term strategy will be best positioned to capitalise on the next wave of opportunities.
