With major proposed changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax, the conversation explores what these shifts really mean, not just in theory, but in practice for everyday investors.

In this episode of Geared for Growth, Mike Mortlock is joined by Andy Reid, real estate coach and auctioneer who spends his days at the coalface, watching buyer and seller behaviour play out in real time. This conversation dives into the psychology driving today's property market, where sentiment, not fundamentals, is shaping outcomes.

In this episode of Geared for Growth, Mike Mortlock is joined by Lachlan O'Connell, buyers agent and owner of O'Connell Buyers Advocate. Victoria hasn't exactly been the investor darling in recent years. With rising land taxes, tighter regulations, and stronger performance elsewhere, many wrote it off entirely. But beneath the surface, something very different has been unfolding.

In this episode of Geared for Growth, Mike Mortlock is joined by Jordan De Jong, founder of Gameplans and one of the sharpest minds at the intersection of property investing, data, and AI.
