Homelessness doesn't always look the way we picture it. Sometimes it looks like a woman in her late 50s who has worked her whole life, raised children, contributed to her community — and then a divorce, a death, a rent increase leaves her without a home and without the super to compete in today's market. At the 2021 census, around 7,300 Australian women aged 55+ were experiencing homelessness, and here in WA homelessness among people over 55 rose almost 24% in five years.

In this episode Jo Gibb sits down with Dionne Payn, founder of Women for Homes — a scientist-turned-developer who is building a very different kind of solution. Dionne shares how a conversation with a 70-year-old professor who couldn't afford to retire set her on this path, how her first affordable housing project let a teacher buy in at $330,000 and sell five years later for $600,000, and why she now believes affordable housing can deliver for investors and for community at the same time.

Women for Homes brings women together to invest in affordable, sustainable housing from as little as $5,000 — with the goal of one million women investing, unlocking billions in new housing capital. The first raise has already reached $1.3 million from 25 women investing anywhere between $5,000 and $350,000.

And we're announcing something new. The HMO Property Co and Living Rooms are partnering with Women for Homes to turn that capital into actual homes — sourcing the land, building the co-living properties and managing them, with a shared goal of 100 homes across Perth and Melbourne, including all-women households for women of all ages and backgrounds.

In this episode:

• Why older single women are the fastest-growing group experiencing homelessness in Australia
• Dionne's path from a science PhD to affordable housing development
• How affordable housing can deliver real returns and real impact
• Investing in property from $5,000 — how the model works and how it stays compliant
• Financial sovereignty, financial abuse, and the $300,000-a-year value of unpaid work at home
• Why co-living is the starting point, not the end point
• The new HMO Property Co × Women for Homes partnership and our 100-home goal

Keep an eye out next week for full details on the partnership and how you can get involved.

Two property managers. Five organisations. Four people housed so far this year.

This is the first episode of The Coliving Diaries, a new series where we step away from the numbers and meet the people behind Australia's coliving movement. Residents, investors, community partners and our own team.

Jo Gibb is joined by Mel and Annalisa, people and property managers at Living Rooms.

It started in the basement car park under the office. The team called it the dungeon. There was a man sleeping down there, and at first nobody wanted to park in it. Then it went from hello, to what's your name, to what's your story. They couldn't house him themselves. So they went and found the organisations that could, and set a 90 day target of moving at least five people into long term accommodation.

In this episode:

• Why the dungeon changed how Mel and Annalisa saw their own job
• The five organisations they partnered with and who each one serves: St Pat's, 55 Central, Lucy Saw Centre, Ruah and Zonta
• How you build a referral pathway starting from a cold email
• The woman who came out of a DV situation in her early twenties and is now doing her nursing placements
• The house where two women from the same organisation ended up as friends
• The four people housed so far: two men, two women, twenties through forties, north, south and central
• Mel landing in Australia at 19 with no rental history and no idea what she was doing
• What's next: growing the partnerships and looking at female only houses

Plus a round of true or false that busts a few coliving myths:

• Coliving now operates across more than 65 countries and 200 cities
• Around 45% of residents are young professionals. Only about 15% are students
• Community ranks equal with affordability as the top reason people choose coliving
• Well run operators typically sit around 92% occupancy

And the three questions we'll ask at the end of every episode in this series. What does home mean to you. Why does coliving matter. What would you say to someone considering it for the first time.

Behind every home is a person.

If you work with an organisation supporting people into housing and want to talk referrals, get in touch with the Living Rooms team.

The Housing Industry Forecasting Group met this week, and the number came back at 24,000 homes a year. To take real pressure out of the WA market, we would need closer to 40,000.

Michael McGowan joins Neil in the studio for a third time to unpack where the Western Australian housing market actually sits right now, past the East Coast media noise.

Since the last catch up we have had three interest rate rises, the war in Iran, material supply pressure and federal government changes that have pulled confidence out of key parts of the market. Yet production on site has held up, and nobody has seen a builder on the front page of the paper.

In this episode:

• Why 24,000 homes a year is the realistic ceiling, and the three constraints holding it there: land, workforce and infrastructure capacity from Western Power and Water Corp
• Construction costs still rising 7 to 8 percent annually, with roughly 4 to 5 percent of recent increases traced back to transport and petroleum-linked materials
• Build times sitting around 10 months, why the northwest corridor builds faster than the east, and what has to change to get back to seven or eight
• The Brabham land story. A 375sqm block bought for $185,000 three years ago, the same size block in an inferior location now at $475,000, and buyers given 48 hours to decide
• Why land supply is so tight: fragmented ownership, market gardens with unknown history, soil that is not the traditional Class A sand, and environmental approvals that can cost you a full 12 months if the fauna study misses
• The R20 average lot size reform. Around 50,000 lots potentially becoming subdividable, out for public consultation in October, with a 1 July 2027 start if approved
• The rest of the proposed package: single dwellings out of planning even when not deemed to comply, three storey in R40, and dwellings up to four going straight to building permit
• Why state policy does not always survive contact with local government. Neil shares the granny flat build permits that got pushed back into planning, and Michael explains what HIA are doing with WALGA across 139 local governments
• The double brick to brick veneer transition, the $5m matched housing innovation fund loans, and why most major Perth builders are now working on two or three build methodologies at once
• Renovation activity as the hidden pressure. Four types of renovator all pulling on the same specialised trade base without adding a single dwelling to the market
• Skilled migration running at around a thousand a year, the growing Filipino trade base in WA, and builders buying and building housing to become landlords for their own workforce
• Investors leaving the market on the back of negative gearing and CGT changes, listings jumping from 3,000 to 6,000, and why new builds sit outside the proposed changes
• Victoria as the contrast. Blocks sitting 40 to 50 days, builders quoting six months from slab down, and a state government that has taken the wind out of retail confidence
• Ten train stations earmarked for a faster planning pathway, and why unlocking high density is the only thing that moves the national numbers
• Crystal ball. Steady rather than shrinking, 24,000 for the next three to five years, with two asterisks: Trump, and Brisbane 2032 poaching our trades

Michael's view is that it is not doomsday. The oven has come down from 240 degrees to about 200. The market is still positive, still undersupplied, and still one of the most attractive in the country.

More than 50,000 existing Perth blocks could become eligible for subdivision under WA's biggest planning shakeup in around 30 years.

In this solo episode, Neil breaks down the proposed change to R20 zoning and what it actually means for property investors and small to medium infill developers in Western Australia.

Right now, an R20 block needs a 350sqm minimum lot size and a 450sqm average, which means you need a 900sqm block to create two lots. The proposal removes the average requirement entirely, leaving only the 350sqm minimum. In plain terms, a 700sqm R20 block becomes subdividable. R20 is the most common suburban code across the Perth metro area, so this hits established infill locations, not urban sprawl.

But eligibility is not the same as profitability, and Neil is blunt about the traps.

In this episode:

• The exact change to R20 and why the average lot size has been the thing holding tens of thousands of blocks back
• Why the position of the existing house matters more than the size of the block
• The demolition trap. Neil runs the numbers on a $1m block two ways and shows how retaining the front house can turn a $50k to $60k result into $250k to $260k
• Dual zonings explained, and why one phone call to the duty planner can save your feasibility
• The other proposed reforms: single houses, renovations, patios and carports out of planning, approval times cut from 60 days to 30, three storey in R40, and parking minimums removed for apartments and granny flats
• Why state policy does not always mean local councils fall into line. Neil shares the 70 properties currently stuck in planning
• How to target these blocks before they hit the market using area expertise, letterbox drops and joint ventures with owners
• The due diligence checklist: verify zoning through the council's Intramaps, speak to a land surveyor before you settle, and get your accountant across structure and GST

Timeline matters here. This is a proposal out for consultation, not law, and it is not expected to be implemented until around mid 2027. Neil's message is clear. Treat it as a heads up, not a green light.

Australia committed to 1.2 million new homes in five years. Seven quarters in, we are tracking around 450,000 short.

This week Neil is joined by Rob Flux, founder of Property Developer Network, Australia's largest property development community with 37,500 members and 55 events a year across five states.

Rob's story starts under the floorboards of a house destroyed by Cyclone Tracy. He bought his parents' home at 18 to keep them afloat, was subletting rooms by 19 to survive 17% interest rates, and owned his own home outright at 24. Twenty years of negative gearing got him to financially free on paper at 38. A divorce at 37 wiped it out and he rebuilt it faster the second time through development.

In this episode:

. Why the housing shortfall is getting bigger, not smaller . Why 80% of all construction in Australia is six dwellings or less, and why nobody represents those developers . The difference between courses that tell you it can be done and ones that show you how . How to spot where a deal works instead of forcing a deal onto the land you have . Why Perth's double brick obsession is following the exact same path as the diamond industry . Prefab going slab to lock up in two days, and half a million dollars of holding cost savings on a single 18 townhouse project . The one change government could make tomorrow that would move the needle . Rob's best deal: $196,000 profit in six weeks

If you have thought about development but never pulled the trigger, this one is for you.

Rob's details are in the show notes.

Every master was once a disaster. Every winner was once a beginner.

Two hundred episodes. Over 250,000 downloads. And the guest I had lined up for this one cancelled at the last minute.

So we pivoted. Which is a fancy way of saying I made something up and got on with it. And that turned out to be the perfect topic for episode 200, because the lesson was in the thing going wrong.

Failure is part of the process. Every business, every portfolio, every relationship worth having. None of it is a straight line. The question was never whether you'll fail. It's how you react when you do.

In this episode I cover:

. The ARM framework from my coach Ryan Tuckwood. Actions, reactions, mindset. The three things you can always control . WD40, Post-it Notes, Nintendo, Slack and Lamborghini. Household names built on the back of failed products, dead ends and someone else's rejection . My own $200k development loss. The four unit townhouse deal that didn't stack up, what I changed, and how I offset it with a joint venture subdivision . The four questions to ask yourself every time something goes wrong . Why the cost of inaction is more expensive than doing something wrong . The 80/20 rule for beginners. Why 80% of this game is psychology and how that flips as you do more deals

Thank you to every listener, every guest and everyone behind the scenes who has been part of these 200 episodes. It genuinely wouldn't be worth doing without you.

The number of properties on the market in Perth has doubled in the last four to six weeks. Some people are calling the top of the run. Neil isn't one of them.

Transactions are still running at 700 to 900 a week through REIWA. That hasn't changed. What has changed is stock coming on, and there are good reasons for it. Investors spitting the dummy after the budget changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax. Homes finishing construction and tenants moving out of rentals into them. Owners who bought at 350k looking at 900k and deciding now is the time to cash out.

None of that is a falling market. We need around 14,000 properties on the market just to be balanced in WA. The extra stock gets things moving again after a period where it was stagnant.

But there's one number almost nobody is watching, and it's the one that matters.

Rental listings are still between 2,000 and 2,300. Every single week. For three to four years. Record lows. If more investors drop out of the market, that means fewer rentals, not more. Rents go up. Yields go up. And the standard investor comes back to the market because a higher yield offsets what they just lost in negative gearing.

Neil also unpacks what he saw at the World Cup in America, where he watched supply and demand play out in real time. He paid $4,790 for one ticket to watch England versus Mexico at the Estadio Azteca. An hour before kickoff the same seat was $5,500. A can of Stella inside the ground was $19.99 USD. Not enough supply, too much demand, and a lot of printed money in the system. Same forces. Different asset.

In this episode:

• Why more listings does not mean a falling market
• The rental stat everyone is ignoring while they watch sales listings
• What the negative gearing and CGT changes actually signal about what the government wants built
• Why rate cuts and a softening Sydney and Melbourne market are good news for Perth
• Why 26.6% of Australian housing being lone person households is the real story behind coliving demand
• The lesson from 80,000 Mexico fans that explains why HMOs work

More has happened in the housing industry in the last three months than the last ten years. Neil and Jo bought their first property in 2015 and converted it into an HMO. The business has now delivered over 1,180 rooms to market, with another 800 to 900 in the pipeline, a team of 26, and 80 to 120 houses a year.

Want to learn this yourself? The Coliving Cashflow Academy is 14 modules covering everything from what coliving is, structuring yourself like a professional, rent-to-rent, fire safety, new builds, conversions, renovations and subdivisions. Currently $5,000. DM Neil for details.

Neil is joined by Bob LeChance, a US-based investor and founder of virtual assistant company Reva Global, for a conversation on where AI and virtual assistants are taking real estate. What happens in the American market tends to ripple through to Australia, so this one is worth a listen if you want an early look at what could be heading our way.

Bob started flipping properties back in 2004 before moving into short sales, negotiating bank debt down on distressed homes. He did over a thousand of those deals through the last downturn, and now runs a team doing a couple of hundred deals a year alongside a virtual assistant company with around 600 VAs.

In this episode:

• How the US short sale market works, and why it is picking up again as prices soften
• Why documenting every task is the foundation of building a team and scaling
• How Bob trains his VAs to use AI rather than be replaced by it
• The tools changing the game, from ChatGPT and Claude to OpenClaw and Google's suite
• Where property could head next, including instant rehab quotes from a single video and an "Uber for real estate"
• Wholetailing and Airbnb: what is actually working in the US right now

The budget changes have investors confused, hesitant, and sitting on the fence. But for HMO investors, this is familiar territory.

Neil Gibb breaks down exactly what the proposed removal of negative gearing on established properties means, why the government is pushing new builds, and why the one-in-two subdivision strategy is the standout opportunity hiding inside all the noise.

He also covers the short, medium, and long-term outlook for Perth, current vacancy rates and rent growth data, the two-tier investor market now taking shape, and why banks could soon become some of the biggest landlords in the country.

Plus, Neil shares what's happening with the Cashflow Academy, the expansion into Melbourne, and why the investors who keep moving while others freeze are the ones who win long term.

The rules have changed. The strategy hasn't.

Neil's back with valuer Jamie Van Burgal for the quarterly Perth property market update, and there's a lot to unpack. Perth posted nearly 5% quarterly growth while Sydney and Melbourne went backwards, but Jamie's data shows the heat is coming off, and the market is normalising rather than running out of steam.

They cover:

• Why Perth is closing the gap on Sydney's median house price, down from a $900k difference to the $500ks in a single year
• The valuer sentiment survey result that stopped Neil in his tracks: 80% of valuers expected 5%+ growth a year ago, now only 30% do
• The suburbs posting eye-watering twelve month growth (Mandurah up 140%, East Perth up 73%, West Perth up 64%, Cockburn up 62%) and what's driving it
• Why entry level suburbs like Armadale and Medina have hit an affordability ceiling after leading the nation last year
• Listing volumes climbing past 5,000 for the first time since November 2024, and what that means for negotiating power
• Jamie's read on where Perth sits right now: not heading for a cliff, but not heading for double-digit growth either, and why interest rates matter more than the budget changes

Whether you're sitting on the fence waiting to see how it all plays out, or wondering if cashflow positive property is more relevant than ever in a normalising market, this episode gives you the data to make the call.
