In this episode, I break down a real HMO (coliving) project we've just completed — sharing the actual numbers, timelines, and outcomes straight from our systems.

If you've ever wondered what a finished deal really looks like — from land purchase through to full tenancy — this is for you.

We cover:

• The full project timeline (from 2023 to completion in 2026)
• Land, build, and total project costs
• How the deal achieved ~25% capital growth before/at completion
• Expected vs actual rental income
• How we increased rent from $2,100/week to $2,345/week in 12 days
• Final yield (~12.4%)
• Real cashflow after all expenses
• How this strategy combines cashflow, capital growth, and debt reduction

We also walk through the Financial Freedom Blueprint — the exact model we use to show clients how one property can accelerate their path to financial freedom.

This particular deal:

• Generated over $121,000/year in rent
• Became cashflow positive from day one
• Is on track to be paid off in ~13 years
• Could produce $100K+ per year passive income once debt-free

👉 If you're serious about building wealth through property — and want to see what's actually possible — this episode is a must-listen.

What's happening globally right now isn't just headline news—it's directly impacting the property market.

Here's the reality:

• Major shipping routes disrupted • Oil prices rising • Australia imports ~90% of its fuel • Construction costs increasing

Now look at the flow-on effect:

➡️ Higher build costs ➡️ Fewer new homes ➡️ Supply falls further behind demand ➡️ Existing property values rise

Australia is already tens of thousands of homes short each year—and that gap is widening, not closing.

In Perth:

• Population growth is leading the country • Vacancy rates are near zero • Rents have surged significantly • Supply cannot keep up

Add long-term drivers like AUKUS and infrastructure investment, and the outlook becomes even clearer.

This is where informed investors pay attention.

While most people sit back during uncertainty, experienced investors look at the data and position accordingly.

The opportunity isn't in the headlines. It's in understanding what happens next.

In Episode 186 of The HMO Property Show, Neil Gibb breaks down the real numbers behind the Perth property market and answers the question investors are asking right now:

Has the Perth property boom finished?

Instead of relying on headlines or opinions, this episode looks at the macro data comparing Perth with Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne to understand where the Perth market currently sits in the property cycle.

Key data discussed in this episode:

• Perth median house price: $873,000 • Perth median rent: $720 per week • Listings in Perth: 2,867 properties • Listings per 1,000 residents: Melbourne – 7.5 Sydney – 6.3 Brisbane – 5.9 Perth – 1.2

Neil explains why housing supply relative to population is one of the most important indicators investors should track and why Perth still has dramatically less housing supply per person than the other major cities.

In this episode you'll learn:

• Why most investors analyse property incorrectly • The macro indicators that drive property price growth • Where Perth sits in the property cycle today • Why Perth wages support continued property demand • How Perth compares to Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne • Why Perth could still be one of the strongest markets in 2026

Neil also introduces the Equity Accelerator, a new buyer's agency model designed to help investors with $100k–$300k accelerate their equity position before transitioning into HMO investments.

If you want to invest using data instead of emotion, this episode will help you understand how professional investors analyse property markets.

In this episode, Neil is joined by Jennifer Ball, CEO and Founder of Worthy Australia, alongside Jo Gibb, to unpack how Worthy is transforming empty houses into beautifully furnished safe havens for women and children rebuilding their lives after domestic violence.

Jennifer shares the personal story that led her to create Worthy, why dignity and "a hand up" matters, and how the team can now set up a complete home with as little as 72 hours' notice — so families can walk in and begin living, not just surviving.

Neil also dives into the Living Rooms x Worthy partnership, and why the most powerful corporate support isn't just volunteering — it's funding the work so more families can be helped, faster.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why Worthy Australia was created and the gap it fills

• What a "Safe Haven" includes (and why the details matter)

• The hidden challenge: having to turn families away due to funding limits

• Why funding operations and paid roles increases impact

• What's next for Worthy, including potential expansion into regional WA

In this episode of The HMO Property Show, Neil Gibb sits down with Julian Pace, Founder of Happiness Co, for a conversation that goes beyond property.

Why talk about happiness on a property podcast?

Because houses are structures — but homes are built on people, connection and wellbeing.

Neil and Julian dive into:

• The reality of entrepreneurship — rejection, resilience and pressure

• Why success without fulfilment eventually collapses

• The habits that quietly destroy relationships and performance

• The three pillars of long-term wellbeing: self, connection and contribution

• Why the building industry faces higher burnout and suicide rates

• How HMO Property Co is now providing 24/7 wellbeing access to tenants

They also share details of the HMO x Happiness Co collaboration, plus a 45-day free access gift for listeners via the show notes.

If you're an investor, business owner, or simply feeling the pressure — this episode is for you.

In this quarterly market update, Neil Gibb is joined once again by Jamie Van Burgel from CBRE to unpack what's really happening in the Perth property market — and how it compares to the rest of Australia.

After another strong year of growth, the big question is: Are we nearing the top, or is Perth still playing catch-up?

In this episode, Neil and Jamie discuss:

• Perth's 12% annual house price growth and 18% unit growth

• Why WA continues to outperform Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide

• The widening (and now narrowing) gap between house and unit prices

• Whether rents have hit an affordability ceiling at $700 per week

• Land sales topping the nation at 11,000+ lots sold

• The impact of AUKUS, infrastructure and defence housing

• Investor activity vs first home buyers in 2026

• Why Perth may still remain Australia's top-performing market

They also dive into interest rates, affordability pressures, and whether multiple rate rises could finally shift sentiment heading into 2027.

With vacancy rates stabilising and supply still struggling to meet demand, Perth continues to show resilience — but signs of moderation are emerging.

If you're an investor, homeowner, or looking to enter the market, this episode gives you a clear, data-backed snapshot of where WA stands — and what could happen next.

In this episode of The HMO Property Show, Neil Gibb breaks down why Australia's housing crisis isn't just about population growth or supply shortages — it's about building the wrong type of housing for the people who actually live here.

Neil unpacks the growing disconnect between modern living patterns and outdated housing design, highlighting key data points:

• Nearly 60% of renters are singles or couples without children, yet most new housing stock is still designed as large family homes.

• Millions of bedrooms sit unused while families are priced out of rentals and vacancy rates remain at historic lows.

The episode explores how this mismatch is driving rental stress, social isolation, and inefficiency across the housing market — particularly for older Australians living alone, single women experiencing housing stress, and renters forced into oversized, unaffordable homes.

Neil explains why HMOs and co-living aren't a silver bullet, but are a critical part of the solution:

• Better utilisation of existing housing stock

• Lower per-person housing costs

• Built-in community and reduced loneliness

• Cashflow-positive assets for investors, even at principal and interest

The conversation also touches on the broader social impact of housing design, including mental health, loneliness, and dignity — and why housing policy must consider how people live, not just how many houses are built.

This episode is essential listening for investors, policymakers, and anyone who wants to understand why the housing crisis persists — and what actually needs to change to fix it.

Perth is creating wealth fast — but what you do with that wealth will decide whether 2026 sets you free or locks you into higher costs.

As Perth continues to lead the country, Neil opens 2026 with a timely warning for high earners and property owners. With listings tight, prices rising, and equity building fast, many people feel wealthier than ever — but that's often when lifestyle creep quietly sets in. Using the current Perth market as the backdrop, Neil explains how treating equity like cash leads people to upgrade homes, cars, and lifestyles instead of locking in income-producing assets.

This episode breaks down the difference between income-driven spending and asset-led wealth creation, why income doesn't compound but assets do, and how high earners fall into the "high-income wealth trap" without realising it. If you want to use this market as a launchpad for true financial freedom — not permission to expand your cost base — this episode sets the mindset for 2026.
