The old property investing playbook that built decades of wealth is quietly falling apart. Negative gearing is shifting hard toward new builds, and the tax benefits on established investment homes are disappearing fast. That's pulling billions in investor money away from existing housing stock, right as vacancy rates sit near record lows. Peter Kelly breaks down why dual occupancies are positioned to capture every one of these forces in 2027, and the one factor that decides whether your project becomes a gold mine or an expensive mistake. 🔥 You'll learn → Why negative gearing now favours new builds → Why rents are about to spike further → Why the housing shortfall keeps compounding → Why dual occs win from every angle → The depreciation benefit only new builds get → How dual occs let you manufacture equity → The land scarcity test before you buy → Why the wrong location kills your margin 👇 Chapters 00:00 Intro 01:11 The Negative Gearing Shift 02:42 The Rental Squeeze 04:21 Australia's Housing Supply Shortfall 05:24 Why Dual Occupancies Win 06:54 The Land Scarcity Test 📺 Prefer video?

The site that looks like easy money is usually the one that quietly wipes your profit. Here's exactly what experienced developers check before they buy. In this episode of Inside Property Development, I sit down with Gav from our site acquisition team, the person reviewing potential development deals every single day, to break down the sites that look brilliant on paper but rarely work in the real world. We unpack the red flags experienced developers spot instantly, why an underpriced block is almost always underpriced for a reason, and the hidden costs that quietly turn a six-figure profit into a break-even result. You'll learn how slope, easements, overlays and shadowing can silently destroy your margin, why a neighbour's solar panels can shrink your build, and how to read a design overlay before it kills your plans. We also cover how to check a site's real location against its comparable sales, and why getting your feasibility numbers right matters more than any block ever looking good. Whether you're hunting your first site or sharpening your eye, this episode will change how you read a development deal. 🔥In this episode: The trap that fools every beginner developer Why underpriced sites are underpriced for a reason How slope quietly kills your profit The overlays that limit what you can build Why a neighbour's solar panels shrink your build How shadowing can cost you a bedroom The location red flags buyers notice at auction Why your feasibility numbers matter most👇 Chapters 0:00 The Deals That Look Too Good 0:39 Sites That Look Great But Rarely Work 7:15 The Red Flags Developers Watch For 13:17 The Biggest Trap: Chasing The Cheap Site 📺 Prefer video?

The real advantage of dual occupancy has nothing to do with rent, flexibility, or even owning a second home outright. Two new government rule changes just tilted the property game toward one strategy, and most investors haven’t caught up. In this video, Peter Kelly breaks down why putting two new homes on one block is pulling ahead of holding a single property right now. Australia isn’t building enough homes, vacancy rates are near record lows, and negative gearing now only applies to new builds, not existing ones. This walks through what that shift means for your next purchase, and how to tell if your block can actually deliver two homes at wholesale instead of retail. 🔥 You’ll learn The pricing edge that beats capital growth Why new builds win the tax game How dual occupancy creates two new homes Building equity without subdividing first Why one house leaves you with fewer options How the housing shortage supports rents How Victoria’s planning changes lower barriers The mistake that turns speed into losses Why flexibility matters more than yield How to know if your block works👇 Chapters 00:00 Intro 01:01 One Block, Two Homes 02:10 The 2027 Housing Collision 03:23 The Negative Gearing Shift 04:38 Buying at Wholesale Price 06:09 Dual Occupancy Without Subdividing 07:13 Putting It All Together

Most beginners chase the perfect site for months, then get knocked back the second they ask for the money. The fix is simple: lock in your funding before you ever start looking. In this episode of Inside Property Development, I sit down with Gavin, Head of Acquisitions at Little Fish, to break down the three main ways to fund a townhouse development in 2026 — residential finance, development finance, and private funding. We explain who each option suits, the type of project it works for, and the pros and cons you need to understand before you commit a dollar. You'll learn why a development loan is nothing like a normal home loan, and why the lender effectively becomes your business partner once you go down that path. We cover how your borrowing capacity against GRV shapes the size and suburb of your project, and why getting your accountant and broker working together from day one can make or break your strategy. Whether you're planning your first townhouse project or scaling up your next one, this episode will help you fund it properly from the start. 🔥In this episode: The 3 ways to fund a townhouse build Why funding a build isn't a home loan How lenders become your business partner Why you sort finance before finding a site How borrowing capacity sets your project size Why your accountant comes before your broker How development finance frees up your cash flow The beginner mistake that wastes months👇 Chapters 00:00 Intro 0:47 Why dev funding isn't a normal home loan 9:02 The 3 funding options in 2026 12:56 The biggest mistake first-time developers make 📺 Prefer video?

There's one decision in this strategy that outweighs your money, your bank, and the block itself, and getting it wrong turns a cheap entry into your most expensive mistake. Most people rule themselves out because they think the bank wants a mountain of cash. It doesn't. It wants equity and serviceability, and a joint venture on a dual occupancy lets two everyday earners combine both to fund what neither could carry alone. Buy at wholesale instead of retail and that margin becomes built-in equity from day one. And with negative gearing now new-build only, holding right now pays more than it has in years. 🔥 You'll learnWhy banks value equity over cashHow build-to-hold boosts borrowing powerThe joint venture two families useWhy wholesale beats retail on equityWhy negative gearing favours new buildsHow depreciation puts money back yearlyWhy the wrong partner wrecks dealsWhy separate titles guarantee clean exits👇 Chapters 00:00 Intro 00:53 What Banks Really Want 02:13 The Joint Venture Strategy 03:38 Buying at Wholesale Rates 04:38 Why Hold New Builds 05:55 Choosing the Right Partner 📺 Prefer video?
