Are you ready to invest? The highly anticipated FAST 50 2027 report is back. Smart Property Investment's Phil Tarrant and Pure Property Investment's Paul Glossop return with a fresh edition of the report, revealing the top suburbs for property investment in 2027.
The FAST 50 2027 report combines expert picks from top property minds with hard data on growth, yields, and long-term performance to separate hype from real opportunity, revealing the suburbs tipped to be Australia's next big capital growth winners.
Despite inflation, higher rates, and global uncertainty, the duo argue there's still serious money to be made in Australian property for investors who know where to look.
This year's list shows a major shake-up, with Victoria and Queensland dominating, and the Northern Territory quietly emerging as a surprise contender.
Suburb growth forecasts range from modest gains to eye-watering double-digit returns, highlighting just how uneven the market has become.
Tarrant and Glossop stress this isn't a "buy anywhere" guide, but a strategic tool for investors who want to stay ahead of the cycle.
They also point to key hidden signals, such as days on market and vendor discounting, as early clues to where momentum is building.
The message is clear: while conditions are tough, the next wave of property winners is already forming – and this report shows where to find them.

Thinking about your next investment move? The much-anticipated FAST 50 2027 report has officially been released!
Smart Property Investment's Phil Tarrant and Pure Property Investment's Paul Glossop return with a new edition of the FAST 50, revealing the top Australian suburbs tipped for capital growth over the next year.
Built collaboratively, the report is designed as a data-led guide to help investors navigate an increasingly complex market shaped by inflation, high interest rates, and global geopolitical tensions.
With rising cost-of-living pressures and disruptions to global oil supply chains adding further uncertainty, the outlook for Australia's property market is more volatile than ever.
Despite this, the FAST 50 reinforces the property's long-term resilience, with historical trends showing strong capital growth following periods of economic disruption.
A key focus this year is the shift toward affordable housing corridors and high-demand regional hubs, driven by affordability constraints and changing buyer behaviour.
The report also highlights a notable reshuffling across states, with Western Australia cooling from previous dominance and Victoria emerging with a stronger presence in this year's list.
Rather than encouraging quick decisions, the FAST 50 is positioned as a strategic, research-backed tool for investors, with further episodes set to unpack methodology, regional trends, and past performance in greater detail.

In this episode of Inside Residential Property, host Liam Garman is joined by Son Pham, managing director of Rethink Financing, and Prue, an investor, to explore when and how investors should transition from residential to commercial property.
With residential yields compressing and lending policies tightening, many investors are hitting serviceability limits and reassessing their strategy. Looking at Prue's investment portfolio, her experience shows how shifting from growth-focused residential assets to cash-flowing commercial property can unlock greater income, flexibility, and long-term financial security.

Son shares practical insights into navigating today's lending environment, including the role of non-bank lenders, structuring considerations, and how to assess whether it's the right time to pivot.

The episode also explores the structural and strategic differences between residential and commercial investing, including:
Why residential property alone may not deliver the cash flow needed to reduce reliance on active income.

How to assess whether it's the right time to transition based on serviceability, equity, and long-term goals.

The key financial considerations when selling residential assets, including tax, costs, and capital redeployment.

How commercial property income can support lifestyle flexibility and retirement planning.

The role of lending strategy, including non-bank lenders and self-managed super fund (SMSF) structures, in scaling a portfolio.

Listen now if you are looking to move beyond residential properties, build stronger cash flow, and create a more sustainable portfolio aligned to your long-term goals.

In this episode of The Property Nerds, hosts Arjun Paliwal and Jack Fouracre unpack how self-managed super funds (SMSFs) are no longer a niche strategy, with investors increasingly using their retirement savings to actively build property wealth.
They note that this shift is being fuelled by a combination of investor control, rising sophistication, and a growing appetite to use super as a direct property investment vehicle.
However, they warn that greater freedom is also bringing greater complexity, particularly as SMSF lending rules evolve and more lenders enter the space with competing products and structures.
At the same time, the rise of non-bank lenders is reshaping the market, stepping into gaps left by traditional banks and offering more flexible, tailored lending solutions for investors.
The duo points to key innovations such as higher loan-to-value ratios and longer commercial loan terms, which are changing how investors approach leverage and portfolio growth.
They also broke down how residential property is often used as the entry point for SMSF investors, while commercial property is increasingly viewed as the long-term wealth-building strategy within super.
Despite the opportunity, they stress that navigating the space requires careful planning, as borrowing capacity, income structures, and lender policies can significantly impact outcomes.
Ultimately, they argue that SMSFs and non-bank lending are converging to create a new era of property investment, one where strategy and structure matter more than ever.

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Liam Garman sits down with Sam Gordon, REB Industry Thought Leader of the Year, to examine how Victoria's property fundamentals are underpinning future growth and how investors can navigate today's economic uncertainty.
Gordon argues that claims of an investor exodus from Victoria are being overstated, driven by lagging data and media narratives rather than on-the-ground fundamentals. He points to Melbourne's relative affordability, population growth, and ongoing infrastructure investment as key factors underpinning its long-term appeal.
Despite policy pressures and shifting investor sentiment, the pair suggests that Victoria continues to present a compelling long-term growth story rather than a distressed market. They also note that interest rate movements are unlikely to derail its broader trajectory.
Gordon and Garman warn that potential changes to tax settings, including negative gearing and capital gains tax, could reduce housing supply, placing upward pressure on both prices and rents over the medium to long term.
