Fire Your Buyers Agent With PK, Rocky & Guru

Commercial property is getting a lot of attention right now. Higher yields, strong cash flow, SMSF opportunities… on the surface, it can look like the obvious next move for property investors.

But is commercial property actually better than residential?

In this episode, Rocky and I break down what you really need to understand before buying commercial property in Australia. We talk about how much money you need to get started, whether you should use cash or equity from your residential portfolio, and why a 7% or 8% yield isn't automatically a great deal.

I also share some of my own experiences investing in commercial property, including a $70,000 roof replacement that shows just how quickly that attractive cash flow can disappear.

In this episode:

• When commercial property makes sense compared to residential
• Why higher commercial property yields can mean higher risk
• Using residential equity vs cash to fund a commercial property
• The four areas of commercial property due diligence you can't ignore
• How to assess the tenant, lease and business behind the property

Commercial property can be an incredible investment, but don't get distracted by the yield. Understand what you're actually buying, the risks you're taking, and whether it genuinely fits your property investment strategy.

Melbourne units have barely moved for years. But that might be exactly why they’re becoming interesting now.

In this episode, we’re taking a closer look at Melbourne’s unit market and asking whether 2026 could finally be the turning point. Recent data is showing early signs of growth in some unit markets, while affordability pressures and rising rents are creating a very different environment for buyers and investors.

But we’re not talking about buying just any apartment.

We break down the difference between high-rise apartments with hundreds of competing properties and older boutique units in tightly held Melbourne suburbs where scarcity, location and affordability could create a much stronger investment case.

In this episode:

• Why Melbourne units could be reaching the bottom of the market
• The boutique units we believe are worth considering
• Melbourne suburbs and price points where opportunities are emerging
• Why strata, sinking funds and cladding can completely change the numbers
• What separates a good Melbourne unit investment from a potential money trap

If you’re considering investing in Melbourne property under $600K, this episode will help you understand what to look for, what to avoid, and where the opportunities could be hiding.

Key moments:

0:00 Are Melbourne units finally making a comeback?

3:40 Why Melbourne units under $500K are getting interesting

7:28 Can you really get 5%+ yields in Melbourne?

10:46 The rental demand that could protect these investments

17:40 The hidden strata costs investors need to watch

21:38 Real Melbourne units under $500K: what the numbers show

24:12 Why the better-looking property actually lost money

27:58 Buying a unit for lifestyle, schools and future growth

30:30 Why 10 years of poor growth could actually be an opportunity

33:08 North, west or east Melbourne: where does the value stack up?

36:15 Why changing lifestyles could drive future unit demand

38:10 Are Melbourne units already hitting the bottom?

Western Melbourne has been one of the most controversial property markets in Australia for years.

Too much land supply. Too many new estates. Questionable growth. Plenty of suburbs investors have been told to avoid.

But with Melbourne now offering some of the best affordability of any major Australian capital city, we wanted to ask a different question: are investors making a mistake by writing off the entire west?

In this episode, we break down where we see genuine opportunity in Western Melbourne, where we’d still be extremely cautious, and why timing, price and property selection matter far more than simply choosing a suburb.

In this episode:

• Why Western Melbourne shouldn’t be treated as one single property market
• The suburbs and outer-fringe areas we believe investors should approach carefully
• Why affordable properties under roughly $700K are attracting so much investor demand
• Whether Melbourne’s recent investor-led growth is actually sustainable
• When rooming houses, granny flats and higher-yield strategies can make sense

We also unpack Melton, Hoppers Crossing, Caroline Springs, Tarniet and other key pockets while looking at the bigger Melbourne property cycle.

If you’re considering investing in Melbourne, this episode will help you understand where the risks are, where the opportunities may be, and why buying the right property at the right time matters more than chasing the latest hotspot.

The Australian property market is slowing, the banks are predicting further price falls, and buyers are understandably nervous. So why are we still buying property right now?

In our first episode of Fire Your Buyer’s Agent, Rocky, Guru and I get into what’s actually happening across the Australian property market and whether investors should buy now or sit on the sidelines for another six months.

We’re not here to pretend property prices can’t fall. In fact, we have different predictions on how far the national market could drop. But national headlines don’t tell you what’s happening in every suburb, price point or property type.

We talk about where we’re still seeing competition, why affordable properties could behave very differently from the broader market, and why waiting until property feels “safe” again could come at a cost.

In this episode:

• Why falling property prices don’t automatically mean you should wait
• Where we’re still seeing opportunities in the Australian property market
• Why affordable houses, townhouses and units are attracting attention
• How construction shortages and rising replacement costs could impact prices
• Our predictions for how far Australian property prices could actually fall

If you’re wondering whether to buy property now or wait, this is the conversation we’d want you to hear before making that decision.
