This week, Dom and Haz were joined by Lloyd Edge, the director of Aus Property Professionals - a nationwide buyers agency. He gave us the rundown on topics such as: how spring selling season is shaping up, if green additions to the home make good investments, what his clients are looking for, if people will still be bullish on property with more interest rate rises, and more!

This week, Emma explained to Dom and Haz what build-to-rent means. It's a popular renting option in Europe and the US but hasn't yet kicked off in Australia. There's one development in Melbourne however with its own podcast studio, concierge. and pet play area - but it comes at a cost. Would you live in a build-to-rent building? If there's enough it could help fix the rental crisis, but might not be the silver bullet as it seems on paper.

Our very own Brooke Cooper joins us to discuss a new report from CoreLogic which found that 655,000 residential properties across Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane are suitable for building a two-bed granny flat, which experts say could have a near-immediate impact on the housing crisis.

Plus, find out what the guys think about living in a tiny home.

This week on the podcast, Haz's off living his best life in Tasmania so Editor of Your Investment Property Magazine Emma Duffy joins Dom to chew the fat on household spending, savings account rate hikes and spring selling season.

But before Haz left us for the Apple Isle, he and Dom pre-recorded a chat with Gaby Rosenberg co-founder of investing app Blossom to chat all things bond investing, which you can catch in this ep.

Plus, we caught up with Savings.com.au finance journalist Brooke Cooper to discuss whether granny flats could help solve the housing crisis.

You might have heard about bond yields and wholesale funding rates going through the roof recently, and your interest might be piqued - how do you get a slice of the pie?

From humble beginnings after a dinner party discussion in 2021, Gaby Rosenberg with her sister founded Blossom, an investing app that democratises investing in fixed-income assets.

These asset classes have traditionally only offered to high net worth individuals with at least $200,000 to play with. Blossom is available for nearly everyone with only a $5 minimum investment, and targeted 5.70% p.a. returns.

With a pretty, user-friendly app, Blossom appeals to a lot of people who want a different type of investment.

This week on the podcast Dom and Haz caught up with fellow podcaster, host of the Australian Finance Podcast, Kate Campbell, to talk about her new book. It's called 'Buying Happiness - Learn to invest your time and money better'.

What was interesting was it wasn't just a rote list of "what to do" to establish your financial future, but it explored behavioural topics such as 'time is money' and how to audit your relationships, finance-wise.

Plus we caught up with Emma Duffy, editor of Your Investment Property Magazine to discuss why the new property tax down in Victoria has pundits so rankled.

This week we spoke about Victoria extending the 'Airbnb 7.5% tax' we spoke about a few weeks ago to investors who keep their property vacant - holiday homes, land banking and so on. The rental market is also up once again, and unit and house prices are converging in some areas.

On this week's episode, Dom and Haz spoke to the other Haz in the Savings.com.au team - Harry O'Sullivan, finance journalist.

He's just written a piece on whether it's better to invest in property or shares. It's an interesting topic and there's plenty to weigh up - and plenty of ways to peel the banana.

And of course, PPINAIOFP - past performance is not an indicator of future performance.

Plus all the latest news, as always!
