The RBA has lifted rates again. Morgan Bushell from Full Circle Finance has crunched what it actually means for three real borrower profiles: a single, a couple with a portfolio, and parents looking to leverage equity. The result: a 2 to 5% reduction in borrowing capacity, or roughly $25 to $30 extra per week for the average mortgageholder.

But there's a counterforce most people outside the broking world never see. As rates climb, banks quietly relax lending policies to keep attracting borrowers, opening doors even as the headline numbers look grim. Morgan also reads directly from the RBA's latest statement, revealing why further increases may still be on the table driven by global oil supply disruptions and inflation running hotter than expected.

If you've been waiting for clarity before making a move, this episode is a must watch. The cycle isn't over, and the steps you take now could position you for the upswing.

You need to know which lever to pull. Rob Flux joins Todd to break down seven low or no money down methods for getting into property development, walking through a full development cash flow to show exactly where stamp duty, holding costs, and interest can be deferred, avoided, or funded by someone else entirely. The conversation covers joint ventures, delayed settlement with early access, option contracts, and vendor finance, including a live role-play negotiation and a real student case study: a $14 million site bought with zero dollars down. Rob also unpacks the four levers of negotiation, time, certainty, risk, and money, and how reading a vendor's position on each one reveals which strategy will actually land. This episode is a must watch for anyone looking to get into development without a mountain of cash. 🍕🏠 We want to hear your investor story!

Australia's property market has quietly split in two, and some suburbs are sitting on a mountain of unsold stock most buyers haven't noticed yet.

Todd sits down with Gilbert Melgar from Suburbs Finder to dig into two areas, Orchard Hills in New South Wales and Collingwood Park in Queensland, where inventory levels and development pipelines are flashing serious warning signs. Gilbert walks through exactly how he spots oversupply before it hits the headlines: tracking inventory levels, sales listing trends, and council development applications to catch large-scale subdivisions before they flood the market. From a 95-month inventory blowout to a suburb absorbing hundreds of new lots across multiple project stages, the data tells a story with real financial consequences.

This episode is a must watch for anyone who wants to know the difference between playing to win and playing not to lose. Gilbert also shares a free tool anyone can use to start spotting oversupply risk in their own target suburbs.

Melbourne units or a Tasmanian house... which one actually deserves your money right now?

Todd and Joe Tucker from Property Principles pull apart real data, zoning laws, and development math across both markets to find out. From the frozen supply of established units in St Kilda to million-dollar views hiding in a Tasmanian suburb for a fraction of the price, they break down why what's been performing might not be what's about to perform. Joe also unpacks the exact development costs that explain why new units can't compete with established ones, where gentrification is actually happening versus where it's stalled, and how a $5,000 block purchase unlocked $250,000 in equity.

Three investor profiles are put to the test against both markets, scored on capital growth, rental yield, value-add potential, and population fundamentals, with some results that challenge conventional wisdom. This episode is a must watch before you make that call.

Two units in Punchbowl. Similar price, same suburb, same market conditions. One is a solid buy, the other a hidden disaster. The difference came down to a single document most buyers skip.

Steve Ash from Property Strats joins Todd to walk through a real strata report that revealed three red flags, and what looked like a safe bet on paper started painting a very different picture line by line. Steve and Todd also unpack how due diligence and cooling-off periods differ by state, from NSW strata reports to Victoria's Section 32 and South Australia's Form 1.

This episode is a must watch before you compare any two units and assume the numbers tell the whole story.

150 properties in 17 years, and Sam Gordon thinks the current market fear is exactly backwards.

Sam and Todd tackle the biggest concerns on every investor's mind: will the market collapse, are interest rates heading back to the 1980s, and is now actually a terrible time to buy? Sam breaks down why he's buying more aggressively than ever, and why the housing shortage, migration boom, and recent super and negative gearing changes are quietly setting up one of the biggest rental booms Australia has seen in years.

The conversation also gets personal, covering pity predator tenants, the growing stigma around being a property investor, and the uncomfortable maths behind who actually provides housing when the system can't. This episode is a must watch for anyone feeling uncertain about property right now, whether you're just starting out or sitting on a growing portfolio.
