How does Tash Invests actually invest her own money?

In this episode, Frank sits down with Tash Invests (Natasha Etschmann) to talk property, ETFs, shares, crypto, rentvesting and building wealth over the long term.

Tash shares how she bought her first ETF at 18, purchased her first property at 22, built a portfolio across different asset classes, and why she still likes the simplicity of ETFs even though property has played such a big role in growing her wealth.

They also get into using property equity to help fund a business, building Tash Lends, first-home buyers, government housing policy, investing during uncertain markets, and why trying to perfectly predict the property market can be a waste of time.

Plus, Tash and Frank put some of the biggest investing choices head-to-head — property vs stocks, ETFs vs individual companies, rentvesting vs owner-occupier, and crypto vs gold.

Australia’s property market is shifting but that doesn’t necessarily mean opportunity is disappearing.

In this episode, Frank and Anu unpack what’s happening across the Australian property market right now, from rising government debt and inflation to changing stock levels, affordability pressures and property cycles.

They discuss why some previously booming markets are beginning to slow, why chasing yesterday’s growth can be a costly mistake, and where the next opportunities could emerge across Melbourne, Hobart, Brisbane, Perth and other markets.

They also explore how inflation affects the value of money and assets, why timing matters when choosing where to invest, and what history can teach property investors about navigating uncertain markets.

If you’re trying to understand where the Australian property market could be heading next and how to position yourself before the crowd catches on this episode is for you.

Simon Borham walked away from a $400K corporate career to build a business around commercial property. Now he’s finding deals where hundreds of thousands of dollars in value can be created without renovating a thing.

In this episode, Frank sits down with Simon, Director of Mane Commercial, to break down how commercial property investing really works and why it operates so differently from residential property.

Simon shares his journey from mechanic to senior corporate roles with Unilever and ALDI, why he eventually walked away from a secure high-paying career, and how getting burned on his own property investment helped shape the way he approaches property today.

They also unpack how commercial property is valued through rent and yield, how investors can manufacture equity through leases, why Simon reviews hundreds of properties before buying one, and a recent deal expected to create around $550K in additional value.

They cover:

• Why Simon quit a $400K corporate career
• How commercial property creates capital growth
• Manufacturing equity without renovating
• A commercial deal creating around $550K in uplift
• The biggest risks in commercial property
• The lease clauses investors often overlook
• Finding off-market commercial opportunities
• Industrial, retail, office, medical and childcare property
• Commercial property finance and deposits
• Why low investor sentiment can create opportunity
• Moving from residential into commercial property

What would you do differently if you had to build your property portfolio again from scratch?

In this episode, Frank, Adrian and Anu sit down for a no-holds-barred property strategy debate, comparing the approaches they’ve used across their own portfolios and with investors at Fresh Start Advisory.

They unpack growth vs cash flow, five $1 million properties vs ten $500,000 properties, commercial property vs blocks of units, mining towns, houses vs units, second dwellings and granny flats, and interest-only vs principal-and-interest lending.

Adrian also opens up about the reality of holding a large property portfolio, including the cash flow pressure it can create and why he might approach things differently if he were starting again today.

There’s no single strategy that works for everyone. Your income, borrowing capacity, risk tolerance, available cash and stage of the journey can completely change what makes sense.

Property investing has changed, and the strategy that helped you buy your first property may not be the strategy that gets you to your end goal.

In this episode, Frank and Anu break down how investors can keep building their portfolio while dealing with higher holding costs, tighter cash flow and changing market conditions. They cover higher-yielding units, granny flats, duplexes and multi-dwelling properties, and explain why the goal is not simply to chase yield, but to find assets that can still deliver strong capital growth as well.

They also discuss when it may make sense to sell an existing property and redeploy the capital, how cash flow can become the biggest bottleneck as a portfolio grows, and share a real example of a Mackay unit bought for $290,000 and sold for $400,000 around 20 months later.

If you already own property and are starting to feel the pressure of holding costs, or you’re trying to work out how to structure your next purchase, this episode gives you a practical framework for thinking about what comes next.

The property investing landscape is shifting—and Aaron Christie-David believes investors need to adapt quickly.

In this episode, Frank sits down with Aaron, one of Australia’s Top 100 mortgage brokers and host of the Built Different Podcast, to discuss mortgage strategy, property investing and the growing pressure facing Australian investors.

Aaron explains how buying two or three carefully selected investment properties could help Australians pay off their home loan within ten years, rather than carrying a mortgage for three decades. He also shares the mistakes he made on his first properties, why he still uses buyer’s agents, and when selling and redeploying capital may make more sense than holding indefinitely.

The conversation also covers borrowing capacity, cash flow, SMSFs, negative gearing, possible rent controls and why Aaron believes investors need to take greater control of their financial future.

Australia’s property investing rules have changed, and investors need to understand what it means for their next move.

In this episode, Frank and Anu break down the 10 August SMSF deadline, changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax, the impact on borrowing capacity, and how lenders are already responding.

They also look at what is happening across the Australian property market, including falling premium markets, stronger affordable areas, rising rents and record-low vacancy rates.

The key message is simple: the rules may have changed, but investors still have options. The important part is knowing how to adjust your strategy.

Negative gearing is changing, and property investors may need to rethink how they protect their cashflow.

In this episode, Frank is joined by Doug and Simon from Superior Granny Flats to unpack how granny flats and second dwellings can help investors increase rental income, improve yield, and make better use of the land they already own.

They cover the difference between old-school granny flats and modern second dwellings, what investors need to know about permits and planning, how long builds can take, what makes a suitable property, and why this strategy could become more important as holding costs and tax rules change.

They also discuss real case studies, common mistakes, modular homes, tenant setup, property management, and how dual dwelling properties could help investors build safer, stronger portfolios.
