Property Investment Podcast Network

Property investors are facing tighter borrowing capacity and shifting market conditions, but the right strategy could still uncover opportunities at the affordable end of the market.

On The Pure Property Podcast, Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop discuss how investors can navigate the current market without being derailed by short-term uncertainty.

The conversation looks at borrowing capacity, interest rates, and recent budget changes, with signs that some major banks are easing earlier restrictions and potentially creating more room for investors.

Glossop explains why property cycles are nothing new and why consistency matters, particularly for first-time investors learning how markets move through corrections and recoveries.

The pair also examine the divide between prestige and affordable markets, with strong demand from owner-occupiers, downsizers, and investors helping support prices where supply remains constrained.

Tight supply, rising values, and active investment strategies are putting Tasmania back on investors' radar.
On The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil Tarrant is joined by Bobby Haeri, founder of Acquisition House, to discuss Tasmania's resurgence and what it could mean for investors.
Over the last couple of months, Tasmania's property market has been showing signs of a comeback, with rising values, tight supply, and stronger investor demand creating opportunities as other markets lose momentum.
The pair look at the supply shortage driving competition, with first home buyers and investors returning to the market and multiple offers becoming increasingly common across some areas.
They also examine what buyer's agents are seeing on the ground, from agents calling with off-market opportunities to early signs that market conditions may be turning, while warning investors not to overpay for the promise of an exclusive deal.
The conversation then turns to active investment strategies, including adding granny flats to suitable properties to boost rental income and value, and why investors may need to do more than simply wait for the market to rise.

The market may look like it is heading for a broad downturn, but sentiment, affordability, and shifting buyer behaviour are creating a very different picture underneath. So what is really driving the market, and is it time to buy?
On The Property Nerds podcast, Arjun Paliwal from InvestorKit and Jack Fouracre from Fouracre Financial discuss post-budget sentiment and what it meant for property investors.
The pair look at the growing number of owner-occupiers shifting to interest-only loans in an effort to preserve future tax benefits, while Paliwal warned that tax considerations should not outweigh the quality of the underlying property.
They also examine the growing divide between higher- and lower-priced markets, with more affordable areas continuing to outperform as jobs, demographics, and rental yields support demand.
The conversation then turns to buyers looking to upgrade, with weaker competition in some major markets potentially creating an opportunity for those with the capacity to make a move.

Property prices are falling, borrowing power is tightening, and the old playbook is losing its edge, forcing investors to rethink their strategy. Here is what to look for.

On The Smart Property Investment Show, SPI managing editor Liam Garman is joined by Andrew Havig, founder of buyer's agency Arvon Property Group, to discuss where investors could find opportunity as market conditions diverge across Australia.
The pair look at why investors need to look beyond the headlines, with some markets seeing falling prices and softer demand while others remain competitive due to tight housing supply and strong fundamentals.
When assessing an asset, Havig said investors should take into account intrinsic value, replacement cost, gentrification potential, and local housing supply.
The conversation turns to cash flow and yield, with Havig explaining why investors are increasingly focusing on properties that can remain cash flow neutral or positive, particularly as borrowing conditions become tougher and portfolio growth gets harder.
He also explains why first-time investors should focus on building a strong residential portfolio before moving into commercial property.

Australia's property market is becoming increasingly divided, with falling prices, rising rents, rate pressures, and government policy creating both challenges and opportunities for investors.
On Property Buzz, Phil Tarrant is joined by Tom Panos to discuss changing market conditions, the mood among Australia's top agents, and what the shift means for both property professionals and investors.
The pair look at vendor management and the need for agents to be honest about market conditions, from weaker clearance rates and declining prices to the sharp divide between premium and more affordable properties.
The conversation turns to government policy, housing supply, and the broader economy, including the potential impact of higher interest rates and growing pressure on small businesses.
For investors, the picture looks different, with decreasing prices and rising rents creating opportunities for those with the borrowing capacity and cash flow to act, while Panos argues Australia's underlying appeal remains strong.
