In Part 1, we made the macro case. Approvals down 70–91% across Melbourne's inner suburbs. Prices below replacement cost. Brisbane apartments did 70–90% growth from the same setup.

This is Part 2. We got on a plane, drove the streets, and found exactly what the data was pointing to.
In this episode we go deep on one specific suburb - Footscray.

We walk the streets, stand in front of the properties, run the numbers live, and reveal the three specific apartment types Alaya is buying for clients right now.

We cover:
📌 Why Footscray specifically — the local case for this suburb
📌 The $1.5 billion hospital and 4,500+ jobs changing the inner west permanently
📌 The feasibility math — why no developer will build here and what that means for you
📌 The due diligence checklist — what to look for that you won't find in a house purchase
📌 Opportunity 1: Newish 5–10 year apartments at $450–550k, 6–6.5% yield, below replacement cost
📌 Opportunity 2: Older double-brick blocks at $350k, 7–8% yield, entry from $35–40k — Alaya's primary buy
📌 Opportunity 3: Whole blocks for advanced investors — $3–5M, 6.5–7% yield, land component included
📌 The value-add play: renovate a block, yield goes from 4% to 7–8% on cost, hold to retirement
📌 Real on-ground clips, real numbers, real properties

This isn't a prediction. Alaya is already buying here.

For 10 years, Melbourne apartments were the worst investment in Australia.

People bought off the plan at $450,000 and sold a decade later at a loss. The data backed it up. Every expert said the same thing - stay away.

But something has changed. And most investors haven't noticed yet.

In this episode, Adi and I make the bold call - Melbourne apartments are about to do what Brisbane apartments did in 2021. The same supply collapse. The same demand surge. The apartments that were $280,000 in Brisbane are now trading close to $600,000. Melbourne is at the same point Brisbane was in 2021.

We cover:

📌 Why building approvals have collapsed 70-91% across Melbourne's inner suburbs
📌 The feasibility math that makes new construction impossible right now
📌 How the Brisbane apartment cycle plays out - and why Melbourne is next
📌 The demand drivers stacking up - migration, population growth, affordability push
📌 Why this opportunity suits every type of investor from first-timers to advanced
📌 The bold call Redom makes live on air - and what he's personally doing about it

If you've been told to avoid Melbourne apartments - this episode will change how you think about that.

Most people look at Melbourne property and see a market going backwards.
They're looking at the wrong data.

In this episode, we go on the ground in western Melbourne — driving the streets, walking past the properties, and showing you exactly what we're buying for clients right now and why. Because while Melbourne's headline numbers are falling, one specific pocket has quietly delivered $400k to $600k in 12 months.

Together, we break down the Melton opportunity — the infrastructure, the land arbitrage, and why this is the western Sydney story playing out all over again.

We cover:
📌 Why Melbourne is actually 10 different markets — and which one is flying
📌 The $900M hospital that's about to change everything in the west
📌 How to get 800sqm of land for effectively $150k
📌 The one suburb away rule — and why it beats buying new every time
📌 Why the window to act is closing faster than most people realise

If you want to buy well in 2026 — not just buy — this is the episode that shows you how.

Should you buy your own home or rent where you want and invest elsewhere?

In this video we break down the two major strategies many property investors debate today: owning your principal place of residence vs rentvesting.

Rentvesting is becoming increasingly popular because it allows people to live where they want while investing where they can afford. But is it actually the smarter financial move?

We explore:
📌 The difference between buying your home vs rentvesting
📌 How borrowing power changes your strategy
📌 Why many investors choose investment debt over owner-occupier debt
📌 The risks and advantages of both approaches
📌 How to decide which path works for your financial situation

If you're trying to get into property or wondering whether rentvesting is the smarter move, this video will help you understand the strategy and make better investment decisions.

📈 Whether you're a first-time buyer or property investor, understanding these two camps could be one of the biggest financial decisions you make.

Australia’s property market is shifting fast, and this episode breaks down exactly what’s happening city by city.

Sydney has hit a speed bump, with higher-end homes weakening while more affordable suburbs continue to rise. Melbourne’s headline numbers look soft, but underneath the surface there may still be major opportunities in selected affordable pockets and apartments. Meanwhile, Perth, Brisbane and Adelaide are still flying, driven by low listings and strong demand.

We also unpack what APRA changes, rising rates, investor tax pressure, yields, housing shortages and buyer sentiment could mean for property investors in 2026.

In this episode:
📌 Why Sydney’s expensive homes are falling while affordable areas keep rising
📌 What Melbourne’s weak macro data might be hiding
📌 Why Perth, Brisbane and Adelaide continue to outperform
📌 Whether Darwin still offers one of the best yield plays
📌 Why Hobart is a market to watch
📌 How changing lending, taxes and rates are reshaping the investing landscape

If you want a clearer view of where the market is moving, this episode gives you the major trends, the risks and the opportunities investors should be paying attention to right now.
