In Episode #302 of Catching Up with CUB, Daniel sits down with Simon Cohen, Founder & CEO of Cohen Handler, to unpack what's really happening in the Australian property market, and where he sees opportunity right now. Since launching Cohen Handler in 2009, Simon has built it into a 100+ person national powerhouse, helping clients secure more than $13 billion in property and becoming one of Australia's most recognisable names in luxury real estate. After 20 years navigating the GFC, COVID and countless market cycles, Simon explains why he believes today's slowdown is creating some of the most compelling buying conditions he's seen in years. Daniel and Simon unpack the impact of the Federal Budget, negative gearing and potential capital gains changes, what's happening at the top end of Sydney's market, and why waiting to perfectly time the bottom can cost you. They also explore where Simon is seeing value across residential and commercial property, how younger Australians can get into the market, and why he still sees property as one of the strongest long-term wealth-building assets. Beyond property, Simon shares how he has used the strength of the Cohen Handler brand to launch multiple ventures with specialist partners, what he looks for in the people he goes into business with, and why reputation, experience and trust still matter. A timely conversation on property, business, opportunity and where the smart money may be moving next.

Commercial property is suddenly attracting a great deal more attention from investors.   Following the recent Federal Budget changes, some residential property investors are looking at warehouses, offices and shops and wondering whether commercial property offers a safer tax environment, stronger cash flow and a better way forward.   On the surface, the numbers can look very attractive, but by the end of this show, you're going to understand the real differences between commercial and residential property, the risks that most residential investors never see coming until it's too late, what's actually driving capital growth in commercial and industrial property right now, and most importantly, where commercial property fits, and doesn't fit, in your wealth creation journey.   Today I'm joined by Brett Warren, National Director at Metropole and someone who's helped hundreds of investors work through exactly this decision.   We unpack how recent tax changes are pushing some buyers toward higher-yield assets, but also why yield alone can be misleading.   We explore the key differences between commercial and residential property, especially how leases, tenants, and business conditions shape performance.   We discuss why industrial property is benefiting from e-commerce, logistics demand, and scarce well-located land.   We finish by showing where commercial property fits in a broader wealth strategy, and why timing, structure, and risk management matter most.   Takeaways    • Commercial property can lift cash flow, but higher income usually comes with greater risk. • Residential property generally suits wealth accumulation through long-term capital growth first. • Commercial values depend heavily on rent, lease quality, and tenant strength. • Vacant commercial premises can reduce income and also drag down capital value. • Longer leases can provide certainty, but they also delay rent resets to market. • Many commercial tenants pay outgoings, which improves net income for owners. • Good commercial purchases often need larger deposits and stricter lending terms. • Specialised buildings can be harder to re-lease when a tenant moves out. • Industrial property is gaining momentum because warehousing demand keeps rising. • Strong due diligence matters because the tenant's business becomes part of your investment risk.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.PropertyTrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multimillion-Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time. ·        Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report.   Michael Yardney   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan.

Australia's latest housing policies are designed to make home ownership more accessible—but are they creating unintended consequences for investors, renters, and the broader property market? In this episode, property data expert Kent Lardner returns to examine what the numbers are already revealing about investor behaviour following the Federal Budget, and why the government's expectations may not match reality.Drawing on decades of experience analysing suburb-level property data, Kent explains why many investors are unlikely to rush into newly built properties despite generous tax incentives. Instead, many may simply sit on the sidelines, waiting for political uncertainty to settle, while established investment properties gradually disappear from the rental pool. The conversation explores why cash flow alone rarely drives successful investing, how inventory levels tell a very different story from headline listings data, and why inner-ring suburbs across Sydney and Melbourne may prove far more resilient than many expect.The discussion also dives into the changing behaviour of buyer's agents, the rise of "spreadsheet investing," Brisbane's slowing momentum, and the lessons Australia may be able to learn from New Zealand's recent property market correction. Along the way, Veronica, Chris, and Kent challenge some of the biggest assumptions currently dominating the housing debate—including whether encouraging investors into new developments will actually improve affordability.Whether you're an investor, buyer's agent, homeowner or simply trying to understand where Australia's property market is heading next, this episode offers a data-driven perspective that cuts through the political headlines and focuses on what the numbers are really saying.Episode Highlights02:20 Will the Budget Really Change Investor Behaviour?05:37 The Supply Problem Nobody's Talking About07:03 Are Buyer's Agents Chasing the Wrong Strategy?12:13 What Happens When Investors Leave the Market?25:42 Why Listings Don't Tell the Whole Market Story30:54 The Truth About Investor Demand Right Now33:02 Why Buyers Disappear in Falling Markets35:32 Why New Builds Aren't Winning Investors Over41:21 Which Cities Still Offer the Best Opportunities?45:21 Where Investor Demand Could Create Future Risks47:43 Final Thoughts & Your Property Questions AnsweredAbout the GuestKent Lardner is one of Australia's most respected property data analysts, bringing more than three decades of experience interpreting housing market trends at both macro and suburb level.

Right now, thousands of Australian property investors are being drawn to off-the-plan properties like moths to a flame. And I understand why.   After the 2026 Federal Budget changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax, new properties are suddenly looking very attractive. The marketing is glossy, the tax benefits sound compelling, and the salespeople are convincing.   But here's what those salespeople won't tell you. Signing that contract is the easy part. What happens over the next two years - and at settlement - can financially ruin you.   Today, I'm chatting with Dorian Traill, Senior Wealth Strategist at Metropole, who walks us through exactly how the finance side of these deals works, and more importantly, all the ways it can go catastrophically wrong.   If you or someone you know is being tempted by an off-the-plan purchase right now, you need to hear this episode before you sign anything. And even if you're not interested in buying off the plan at present, there's going to be some great tips from Dorian to help you as a property investor.   In this episode, we discuss the hidden risks of buying off the plan in today's changing market.   We unpack why glossy marketing, tax incentives, and pre-sales can make these projects look safer than they really are.   We discuss how long settlement timelines expose buyers to finance changes, income shocks, and valuation gaps.   We explore why lender caution, oversupply, and shrinking loan ratios can derail a deal at settlement.   We also look at how contract clauses, design changes, and delayed builds can leave investors trapped in risky commitments.   Takeaways   • Off-the-plan sales help developers secure bank funding by proving enough pre-sales. • Buyers often commit years before completion, increasing exposure to changing circumstances. • Conditional finance approvals usually expire long before settlement arrives. • Lenders may reject loans in oversupplied postcodes or high-rise buildings. • A lower valuation at settlement can force buyers to find extra cash. • Oversupply can push rents down after temporary rental guarantees end. • Small apartments often attract fewer buyers and weaker resale competition. • Contract variation clauses can reduce apartment size or alter finishes materially. • If a developer fails, buyers may remain trapped in limbo. • Tax benefits cannot rescue a poorly chosen property or weak location.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ •        Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time. •        Every entry receives a copy of a fully updated Michael Yardney Property Report.   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan.

Is established residential property really dead, or are investors burying one of Australia's greatest long-term wealth builders far too early? Since the Federal Budget, headlines have declared the end of established residential property. Negative gearing changes, higher holding costs and softer sentiment have left many investors wondering whether they should abandon existing homes altogether in favour of new builds, commercial property or other alternatives. In this special interruption episode of Get Invested, Bushy Martin cuts through the noise to answer one of the biggest questions facing Australian investors right now. While the rules have changed, Bushy explains why quality established residential property remains one of the strongest long-term capital growth assets available - provided you buy well, structure wisely and can comfortably hold through the cycles. Rather than chasing tax incentives or reacting to fear, Bushy shares the practical frameworks professional investors use to separate temporary market "weather" from long-term investment "climate". He explains why today's environment rewards disciplined investors, why holding capacity has become the new superpower, and why the real casualty isn't established property - it's lazy investing. In this episode, you'll discover: Why existing residential property is harder to hold, but far from dead. The critical difference between short-term market "weather" and long-term investment "climate". Why tax benefits should support a great investment, never rescue a poor one. How the "two-buyer safety net" gives quality residential property a unique long-term advantage. What Bushy calls the "policy discount" and why periods of uncertainty can create opportunity. Why buffers, cash flow and holdability now matter more than maximum borrowing power. The difference between quality regional markets and speculative regional investing. When converting your former family home into an investment property may be worth considering. Bushy's simple "Pulse Test" to help assess whether an investment can truly build long-term wealth. If you've been questioning whether established residential property still deserves a place in your investment strategy, this episode will give you a calm, evidence-based framework for making better decisions in a rapidly changing market. For a deeper comparison of today's investment options, including existing property, new builds, commercial property, ETFs, super and more, download Bushy's free field guide, How Should I Invest in Property Now? Whether you're buying your first investment property or reshaping an existing portfolio, this episode is a timely reminder that successful investing has never been about chasing headlines, it's about buying quality assets you can confidently hold for the long term. Listen now and discover why the funeral is for lazy investing, not quality established residential property. FREE PROPERTY INVESTOR’S FIELD GUIDE How Should I Invest In Property Now?

Before you choose your next investment property, you need to know what you can actually afford to buy. In Part 1 of the two-part finale to the Examination stage of Bushy Martin’s Property W.E.A.L.T.H. Clock, Bushy tackles one of the biggest misconceptions in property investing: confusing borrowing capacity with buying power. Too many Australians start by asking “Where should I buy?” when the smarter first question is “What can I actually do?” Following the recent Federal Budget changes and ongoing uncertainty around negative gearing, capital gains tax, borrowing rules and investment structures, many investors are questioning whether they can still build wealth through property. Bushy explains why the answer starts with diagnosis—not property selection. This episode introduces the first two B.E.A.R. Facts that determine your real Property Purchase Price Power: Borrowings and Equity. You’ll learn why the bank’s biggest approval isn’t necessarily your smartest decision, why equity isn’t the same as wealth, and how understanding your true financial position creates a far stronger foundation for long-term investing. Whether you’re buying your first investment, looking to expand your portfolio, or simply trying to make sense of your options in today’s changing market, this episode will help you stop guessing and start making strategic decisions. In this episode you’ll discover: Why Examination is the most overlooked stage of successful property investing The difference between borrowing capacity and true buying power Why the bank’s biggest “yes” isn’t always your best strategy The Capacity Illusion that catches so many investors out Why equity is only valuable if it’s usable, structured and protected How to assess whether your equity is strategic or simply sitting on paper The first two B.E.A.R. Facts: Borrowings and Equity Why diagnosis must come before property selection How the Property W.E.A.L.T.H. Clock helps investors build wealth in the right order This is Part 1 of a two-part series. In the next episode, Bushy completes the B.E.A.R. Facts by exploring Affordability, Risk, and the crucial concept of Property Purchase Price Power—bringing together everything you need before choosing your next investment. If you’re serious about building lasting wealth through property, this is the place to start. FREE PROPERTY INVESTOR’S FIELD GUIDE How Should I Invest In Property Now?

Australian property investors have been warned to brace for a market crash, but the numbers tell a very different story. Since the Federal Budget, investors have been bombarded with warnings about higher taxes, reduced incentives, slowing growth and the supposed end of Australia’s property boom. But when you strip away the fear, the politics and the clickbait, does the evidence actually support the doom-and-gloom narrative? In this special Get Invested solo episode, Bushy Martin cuts through the crash talk, Budget tax fog and market noise to show why quality residential property still deserves its place as one of Australia’s most powerful long-term wealth-building engines. Drawing together the key lessons from his recent post-Budget Property PhD Trilogy, Bushy explores why a short-term confidence correction is not the same thing as a long-term market collapse. He unpacks the extraordinary post-COVID growth surge, why a return to more sustainable growth rates was always inevitable, and the powerful fundamentals that continue to support quality residential property over the long term. Bushy also challenges one of the biggest misconceptions in investing: that the asset with the lowest tax rate automatically produces the best financial outcome. Through his practical Net Nest Egg Ladder, he compares owner-occupied housing, ETFs, shares, commercial property, SMSF property, grandfathered residential property, future established residential property and qualifying new builds to reveal what ultimately matters most — the amount of usable wealth and financial freedom you create at the end of the journey. Along the way, you’ll learn why scarcity remains one of property’s greatest strengths, how household formation continues to drive demand, why holding costs matter less than most investors think, and why the next phase of the market may favour calm, prepared and strategic investors rather than FOMO-driven crowds. If you’ve been wondering whether property still deserves a place in your wealth-building plan, this episode will help you separate the headlines from reality and refocus on the fundamentals that have created wealth for generations of Australians. In this episode you’ll discover: • Why the current property “crash” narrative doesn’t match the underlying fundamentals.• What the post-COVID property boom taught us about sustainable long-term growth.• The critical difference between a confidence correction and a market collapse.• Why Australia’s housing shortage remains a powerful long-term driver.• How an additional $150-$200 per week can protect and accelerate wealth creation.• The role of your investment war chest in navigating uncertain markets.• Why the lowest tax rate doesn’t always create the biggest net nest egg.• How residential property compares against ETFs, shares, commercial property and SMSF investing.• Why “property investing isn’t dead — lazy investing is.”• The practical actions investors should be taking right now.

In 2025, data analytics company Gallup asked 144,000 people in 140 countries a survey question they have been asking for decades:  “Ideally, if you had the opportunity, would you like to move permanently to another country, or would you prefer to continue living in this country?” If the respondent says they would like to move, they are then asked which country they would like to move to.  In 2025, the answer to this question was the same as it has always been. Among those who wish to move, the number one response by a wide margin is the United States of America. If you listen to the mainstream American media, you may be surprised. But our brethren overseas understand that more than any country in the world, America offers opportunity, the ability for anyone to take their shot.  At a time when many Americans are concerned about the state of the economy, we know we need to stay focused on preserving that opportunity for future generations. How do we do that? Enter the American Opportunity Agenda. I sat down with Dan Kowalski, Director of the Grover M Hermann Center for the Federal Budget, to understand exactly what that is.    Email us with thoughts, questions, or suggestions: HeritageExplains@heritage.org   Setting the American Opportunity Agenda Report: https://www.heritage.org/budget-and-spending/report/setting-the-american-opportunity-agenda More by Dan Kowalski: https://www.heritage.org/staff/daniel-kowalski 

Budget, Bricks & the Bottom Line: What Sydney's Property Market Really Looks Like Right NowBernadette sits down with Bernadette Summers, an 18-year real estate veteran and founder of Eastern Beaches Property, for an unfiltered cup of tea and a frank look at what the Federal Budget actually means for property investors and renovators in the current market.With three rate rises, a war, Easter, and now a budget all landing in quick succession, it is fair to say Sydney's property market has had a rough few months. But as Bernadette Summers points out, she has seen this before, through the Banking Royal Commission and through COVID, when predictions of 40% price drops were followed by a 30% boom. Her message: stay calm, know your numbers, and pivot your strategy rather than your principles.The good news for most listeners is that the principal place of residence came through the budget untouched, and as Bernadette Summers reminds us, the lesser-known six-year rule means you can rent out your family home and retain your CGT exemption, a powerful and underused wealth tool. For renovators weighing up their next move, the two of them dig into flipping inside a company structure, why discretionary trusts are under the microscope, and a micro-development strategy that can effectively deliver land at no cost.This is not a "doom and gloom, wait it out" episode. It is a clear-headed, practical conversation for anyone who wants to understand the landscape before they act and to act wisely when they do.If you have been sitting on a decision because the market feels uncertain, or wondering whether to flip, hold, rent, or redevelop, this episode cuts through the noise and gives you a framework for thinking it through.Tune in for a real conversation between two women who have been around the property block and who know that the right strategy, in any market, always starts with knowing your numbers."It's very important that you don't panic. Nothing's been set in legislation yet, so we don't actually know what the final outcome will be."EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:00:00 Welcome & Introducing Bernadette Summers01:00 About Eastern Beaches Property: 18 Years in Sydney Real Estate02:00 The Budget Reaction: Why Everyone Needs to Take a Breath03:00 Market Lessons from COVID, Rate Rises & the Banking Royal Commission05:00 The Big Win: Principal Place of Residence Left Untouched05:45 The Six-Year Rule: How to Rent Your Home Without Losing Your CGT Exemption07:00 Using a Money Tree or Short-Term Rental to Offset the Changes08:30 Flipping in the Current Climate: What's Actually Changed09:15 Company Structures, Tax Rates & Why You Must Know Your Numbers11:00 How Cheeky Should You Be?

The White House's Office of Management and Budget has released a sweeping 400-page proposed rule change that would fundamentally alter how the U.S. federal government manages grants, affecting everything from NASA research to biomedical science and community programs. In this episode, Casey Dreier is joined by Liz Ginexi, a former Program Officer at the U.S. National Institutes of Health, to break down what these changes would mean for American science. Among the most significant proposals: replacing merit-based peer review with partisan political review, allowing grants to be terminated at any time without justification, and restricting scientists' ability to publish their work and attend conferences. Together, Casey and Liz explain how a document dressed up in procedural language could centralize unprecedented control over U.S. scientific funding under a single White House office.

Labor wants its budget to be seen as a concrete step towards levelling the playing field between the generations. But Newspoll suggests it's the most unpopular federal budget in more than 30 years. Across the polls, Labor's support is steady or declining, while One Nation rises above the Coalition. Will bolder economic policies from Labor and the Coalition stop the collapse of Australia's two-party system and the rise of minor parties and independents?Today, Michelle Grattan, political correspondent at The Conversation and professorial fellow at the University of Canberra on the reaction to the budget. Featured: Michelle Grattan, political correspondent at The Conversation and professorial fellow at the University of Canberra

Australia has always promised that if you worked hard, took responsibility, invested wisely and built something for your family, you'd be encouraged - or at least not punished for doing so.   But some of the recent Budget changes raise a very uncomfortable question: are we slowly dismantling that promise?   Because buried behind the headlines, the political spin and the carefully chosen language are proposals that could reshape the way Australians build wealth, invest in property, use trusts, manage tax, fund retirement and pass something meaningful on to the next generation.   And as always, the danger is that many people won't notice what's really happening until the rules have already changed.   Now, I don't want you to panic, but today, Australia's leading property tax strategist Ken Raiss and I are going to discuss the implications of the recent Federal Budget.   We delve into how these changes could reshape wealth-building strategies in Australia.   Together, we explore the implications of tax reforms on property demand and affordability.   We discuss the importance of strategic asset selection and the resilience of property as a long-term investment.   Ken and I analyse the potential effects of inflation and interest rates on the property market.   We also highlight the significance of maintaining a strategic mindset in wealth creation.   Join us as we provide insights to help you navigate the evolving landscape of property investment in Australia.   Takeaways   • The budget raises questions about Australia's wealth-building promise. • Tax changes could reshape property investment strategies. • Strategic asset selection remains crucial for investors. • Inflation and interest rates impact property markets. • Maintaining a strategic mindset is vital for wealth creation. • Property remains a sound long-term investment. • Government policies influence property demand and supply. • Sound advice is critical in uncertain times. • Tax legislation affects timing and cash flow. • Optimism and strategy are key to success.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ •        Win a hard copy of What Every Property Investor Needs To Know About Finance, Tax And The Law •        Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report – What's ahead for property for 2026 and beyond.   Join Ken Raiss and Michael Yardney, plus a team of experts, at Wealth Retreat 2026 on the Gold Coast in May.

The federal budget officially dropped at 7:30pm tonight, but we recorded this episode from inside Budget Lock-Up BEFORE the rest of the country got their hands on it. At 6pm, while the internet was still speculating and journalists were speed-reading hundreds of pages of announcements and fine print, we sat down inside Parliament House to unpack the headlines we think actually matter to our community. Victoria is joined by Glen James from Money Money Money and Vince Scully from Retire Right, who also happens to own our financial services licence, which you’d think would mean we’d be on our best behaviour… but unfortunately that’s not what happened. Together, we break down:• the negative gearing and CGT changes everyone’s about to argue about• what the tax cuts actually mean for your wallet• housing affordability and first home buyers• women’s health funding• cost-of-living relief• and why the global oil crisis is suddenly impacting Australian households Plus, we had a cameo appearance from Katy Gallagher, Minister for Finance herself. This episode is landing slightly later than we planned because the audio quality wasn’t where we wanted it to be and after surviving Budget Lock-Up, the least we could do was make sure it didn’t sound like we recorded it through a microwave.

On Tax Day, trillions flow into the United States government. But new analysis shows a significant share is directed toward war, defense contractors, and border enforcement, while healthcare and food assistance face mounting pressures and cuts. As deficits grow and everyday costs rise, what do these budget choices reveal about who the system is built to serve, both in the US and beyond?

But despite the funds existing in the budget, they have not yet been released to some researchers.  Science journalist Alexandra Witze joins Host Ira Flatow to walk through the details of the government funding process, and her recent report in Nature about the funding slowdown.  Guest: Alexandra Witze is a correspondent for the journal Nature.
