In this Australian Property Podcast, your hosts Pete Wargent from Allen Wargent Property Buyers and Chris Bates from Alcove group mortgage specialists discuss one of the biggest questions facing investors. That is, whether to buy property or shares in 2026? 

Risks for property

- Debt and leverage

- Interest rates

- Asset selection

- Market downturns

Should I buy property or shares then? Or a combination of both?

- Shares win on liquidity

- Personal preferences?

- Property is not completely passive due to repairs and managing tenants (shares may not be totally passive either)

- Tax deductible vs non-tax deductible debt

- Why not invest in both?

- Pete’s 2026 plans – renovating PPOR $500k, also using equity to buy a property but using offset account (I also have my SMSF so buying shares in there)

- Chris’ 2026 plans - consolidation
