Most people don't struggle with effort.They struggle with speed.In this episode of The Australian Property Show, Tom breaks down the single biggest breakthrough that changed his family's financial future — using other people's money to accelerate wealth creation.This isn't hype.It's real deals.Real numbers.And real lessons from projects that generated six-figure profits by combining capital, skill, and smart structure.You'll hear exactly how leverage works, why waiting to “have all the money yourself” keeps people stuck, and how everyday Australians can responsibly use banks, investors, and partnerships to move forward faster.If you're working hard but feel like wealth is moving too slowly — this episode will change how you think about money, risk, and opportunity.What you'll learn in this episode:• Why waiting to save is one of the biggest wealth killers• How using other people's money (OPM) can dramatically speed up results• A first-hand case study that turned a $50,000 family loan into a $300,000+ profit• How pooling investor capital helped generate over $2M in profit from a group of shops• A real renovation project that created a $100,000 outcome• The difference between bad debt and strategic leverage• Why builders and business owners often have the skill but not the capital — and how to fix that• How banks can be your biggest wealth-building partner when equity is used correctly• Why most people stay stuck — and how clarity, structure, and guidance unlock momentum• The steps to go from working hard to building assets that reward your effortIf you've ever thought “I just need more money before I start”,this episode will challenge that belief — and show you what's actually possible.

Most people don't fail to build wealth because they get it wrong.They fail because they wait.In this New Year episode of The Australian Property Show, Tom Haigh breaks down why life rewards action, not perfect timing — and why compounding only works for those who actually start.This isn't about market forecasts or hot tips.It's about deciding whether this is finally the year you move.If you've been stuck waiting for confidence, certainty, or the “right time”, this episode will challenge that thinking — and give you clarity on where your effort actually delivers the biggest return.In this episode, you'll learn:Why expecting immediate results is the reason most people never build real wealthHow compounding actually works — and why it rewards early actionThe key difference between people who talk about investing and those who benefit from itWhy clarity comes after action, not beforeHow to identify the highest-ROI moves for your time, money, and energyWhat small steps taken today can mean in 10 years' timeThe question you must answer if you want this year to be differentThis episode will help you stop overthinking…Focus your effort where it matters most…And decide whether this is the year you finally put time on your side.

This Christmas Day episode is different.It's not about markets.Or predictions.Or property strategies.It's about time.And freedom.And what really matters as one year ends and another begins.In this special episode of The Australian Property Show, I step back to reflect on the lessons that shape a meaningful life — and a better year ahead.Why time is the most valuable asset you'll ever ownWhat I've learned from studying people who create real financial freedomThe one mindset shift that changes everythingWhy life rewards action, not intentionHow guidance beats guesswork every timeThe quote that reframes how you think about your entire lifeStart 2026 with clarity, not noiseMake decisions that buy back your timeStop waiting for “someday”Focus on what actually moves the needleBuild your own version of wealthy — soonerIf you've been thinking about what you want the next year to look like, this episode is for you.

What will 2026 really bring for Australian property?In this episode of The Australian Property Show, we cut through the noise and break down the 2026 property market outlook using insights from Australia's leading economists, market researchers, and property analysts.No hype.No crystal balls.Just the forces that actually move property markets.You'll learn what's likely to matter most — and how to position yourself for the year ahead.Where property prices are expected to head in 2026Why interest rates may matter less than government policyHow first-home buyer incentives impact every buyer and investorThe hidden ripple effect pushing prices higher across all price pointsWhy low listings and tight rentals continue to support demandWhere opportunity may exist — and where caution is warrantedWhat buyers, investors, upgraders and sellers should be thinking about nowMake better decisions in 2026Avoid being caught off-guard by policy changesUnderstand the real drivers behind price growthMove with confidence, not guessworkWant to know what you're really on track to achieve in 2026, and how you can get there sooner?

What actually separates people who build real wealth from those who work hard but never quite get ahead?In this episode of The Australian Property Show, host Tom Haigh is joined by Linda Tempesta — a senior member of the My Money Sorted team with 15+ years' experience across finance and wealth.Linda shares her personal story, what shaped her views on money growing up, and what she wishes she'd been taught earlier in life. Together, Tom and Linda unpack what Linda has consistently observed among wealthy individuals — the habits, decisions, and strategies that show up again and again.This is a values-led conversation about money, property, family, and the importance of learning from those who've already succeeded — rather than trying to figure it all out alone.If you're thinking about your future, your family, or how to build wealth more intentionally, this episode will challenge the way you think about money.Want to know what you're really on track to achieve, and how you can get there sooner?Book a complimentary discovery call with our team using the link below:Book a complimentary discovery call with our team⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with the Host⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠General Advice Warning! The information (including taxation) contained in this podcast is general in nature and does not consider your individual financial circumstances or needs.

Most Australians are told they need five, ten, or more properties to achieve financial freedom.That's wrong.In this episode, Tom reveals Australia's most proven, low-risk Two-Property Plan — a strategy designed to eliminate debt, unlock freedom, and build a lasting legacy without hype, stress, or unnecessary risk.You'll discover how to:✅ Use long-term capital growth to your advantage✅ Select two strategic properties instead of chasing five✅ Use the second property to extinguish debt on the first✅ Avoid risky, far-out, low-socioeconomic locations✅ Build wealth in quality, in-demand areas✅ Simplify your strategy and reduce financial stress✅ Transition into income-producing assets later in life✅ Create options to step away from work or business✅ Protect your family's future and freedomThis is evidence-based, practical, and achievable — especially for Australians in their late 30s through to early 50s who are done with hype and ready for clarity.

This episode is a special repost from Geared for Growth, where host Mike Mortlock sits down with Tom Haigh to explore how the motivation behind property investment is shifting.It's no longer just about personal wealth or early retirement.More and more Australians are now investing with a bigger purpose in mind — securing stability, opportunity and housing certainty for the next generation.In this conversation, Tom shares insights from 17 years in the property market and unpacks:Why the traditional goals of property investing are changingHow “legacy thinking” is shaping smarter decisionsWhat it really means to invest for your children and grandchildrenThe growing gap facing future generations of homeownersHow to shift from wealth creation to legacy creationIf you're thinking about property not just for today, but for your family's future, this is an episode you don't want to miss.

For generations, Australians were told the smartest thing you could do was pay off your home and live debt-free.But what if that's now the most dangerous financial advice of all?In this powerful episode, Tom Haigh breaks down why the rules have changed — and why playing it safe might actually be holding your family back.Discover:Why our parents' version of “financial security” no longer works in today's market.The mindset shift from freedom to legacy — and how to use your home to help your kids get ahead.The difference between bad debt and productive leverage — and how the right strategy can change your life.Real data on how property has outperformed other assets over the past 30 years.How to unlock the equity sitting in your home to create income, wealth, and opportunity.And most importantly, Tom reveals the single next step every Australian homeowner should take right now — before it's too late to act.

The Great Australian Dream is slipping away.In this emotional opening episode of our new series, host Tom Haigh explores the growing crisis of home ownership — and what it means for the next generation.Over the past 30-40 years, the income-to-house-price ratio has stretched from 2–3× to as high as 10–11× in some cities. Millennials are owning homes at rates nearly 10% lower than their parents did at the same age. And unless something changes, Australia could soon mirror parts of Europe — nations of lifelong renters and shrinking home ownership.Drawing on more than a decade working with property investors and families, Tom shares how priorities are shifting — from “retire early” to “help my kids buy a home” — and what smart, strategic families are doing about it.

In this follow-up to Part 1, host Tom Haigh reveals the Top 5 regional markets tipped to deliver the strongest long-term growth in 2025 and beyond.These are the markets where infrastructure, lifestyle, and affordability collide — the perfect mix for investors looking to get ahead of the next property cycle.In this episode, you'll learn:
