October 25 How Mon & Lloyd Went From $10K to a $2.94M Property Portfolio in 3 Years
Recorded on the road in Perth ahead of the live show, Sammy sits down with APS die-hards Lloyd and Mons. Seven properties purchased in three years and a portfolio now sitting around $3M. Three years ago, Lloyd booked a call with APS for one reason. To stress test a decision he’d already made with another buyer’s agency and he signed the same day!
Mons was the sceptic. Not because she doubted Lloyd. Because she didn’t feel smart enough to understand property. Property quickly stopped being his thing and became their thing. Just two everyday people, who have given it a go and they reckon they’ve only just started!

October 11 From 2 Properties in 10 Years to 6 Deals in 1.5 Years
Live from Adelaide, for our next live investor episode, Sam sat down with APS Client Ash and discussed how he went from 2 properties in a decade, to six in 18 months! Ash shares how he went from “just one more deal” to a multi-property portfolio, the lessons from his early mistakes, and the daily habits behind it all.
Ash spent 12 years teaching PE. By his mid-30s he had good holidays, good mates, and nothing to show for it financially. So he bought property. Two house-and-land deals in two years. He left the portfolio for a decade, before he he heard Sam on a podcast. One discovery call later, and the rest is history!

October 08 Is Darwin Dead?
Is the Darwin property boom over, or is there still plenty left in the tank? This week, Sammy Gordon cuts through the noise and breaks down if he’s still actively buying in Darwin, despite the market already recording significant growth.

From Australia’s tightest vacancy rates and surging rents to strong incomes, affordability, infrastructure spending and limited supply, Sam unpacks the data behind Darwin’s performance, where he believes the market sits in its current cycle and why the next 12–24 months could prove the doubters wrong.

October 04 The $100 Billion No One is Talking About: What Happens When the Money Returns?
What happens when billions of dollars in property investment capital gets pushed to the sidelines?

This week, Sammy Gordon breaks down the flow of capital through the Australian property market and what happens when investor sentiment drops, policy tightens and capital begins to pool rather than move.

Using the analogy of a river and a dam, Sammy explores the potential impact of changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax, what reduced investor activity could mean for rents and property prices, and what could happen if that pent-up capital eventually floods back into the market.

Sammy unpacks the numbers, the potential timeline and why periods of uncertainty can create opportunity for investors willing to look beyond current sentiment and position themselves for what could come next.
