In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Liam Garman sits down with Paul Mollica of Wealthkey Property to discuss how he rebuilt a $7.7 million portfolio after a divorce. After losing most of his assets in the separation, Mollica re-entered the market in 2022 with settlement funds and quickly amassed a 14-property portfolio in just over three and a half years, generating more than $370,000 in annual rental income.  He attributes the rapid growth to strategic decision-making, diversified purchasing structures, self-managed super funds (SMSFs), and disciplined risk management, stressing that investors need a clear plan, the right asset selection, and the flexibility to adapt to changing market conditions. Mollica encourages Australians over 50 to consider using equity or savings to invest rather than focusing solely on paying down a mortgage, which can deliver stronger retirement outcomes.  For younger buyers, the duo cautions against purchases driven by the fear of missing out (FOMO), and urges them to prioritise financial education while exploring alternatives such as rentvesting.  Drawing on his experience as a former financial planner, Mollica highlights the importance of integrating traditional financial strategies with property investment.  Finally, Mollica and Garman discuss the buyer's agency landscape, stressing that effective agents focus on client outcomes, market research, and genuine value rather than just sales.

In the latest episode of Finance Specialist, hosts Liam Garman and Trent Carter examine the major banks' aggressive push into business lending and what it signals for brokers operating in the SME and commercial credit space. With latest data from the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority showing the top 10 banks' business lending books closing in on $1 trillion, the discussion unpacks why commercial credit has become such a priority for lenders. Carter explains how tightening margins in residential lending have driven banks to focus on higher-yielding, relationship-based business banking, where risk-adjusted pricing and cross-selling opportunities create stronger returns. The episode also considers what this competitive shift means for brokers. Garman and Carter break down how familiarity and trust keep many SMEs with major banks, while challenger banks and specialist lenders carve out space through flexibility and faster decision making. For brokers, the message is clear: understanding lender segmentation, defining a niche, and knowing which funder suits which scenario is increasingly critical as competition intensifies across Australia's commercial credit landscape.

In the latest episode of Finance Specialist, hosts Liam Garman and Trent Carter take a closer look at what the latest rate rise – and the likelihood of more to come – means for brokers and their SME clients. With inflation still sticky across housing and energy, the discussion moves beyond the headline 25 basis point increase to the broader pressures building in the system. Carter explains how higher rates are compounding existing cost pressures for small businesses, from wages and rents to insurance and input costs, and why many owners are shifting from growth mode to capital preservation. The episode also explores the changing nature of SME borrowing. Rather than funding expansion, more businesses are using finance defensively: refinancing, smoothing cash flow, or taking short-term facilities to manage stock and tax obligations. Garman and Carter then discuss the growing role of non-bank and fintech lenders within that mix, arguing that brokers who focus on solutions, build industry expertise and position themselves as a steady hand during volatility will be better placed to support clients through the current cycle.

In a recent episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, hosts Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman examine the implications of the Reserve Bank of Australia's latest interest rate hike on property investment. Tarrant acknowledges the widespread media concern but argues that shifting economic conditions can also create opportunities for strategic investors. Garman points out a rise in the Consumer Price Index from 3.4 per cent to 3.8 per cent, warning that inflationary pressures, driven by energy prices and housing costs, could lead to further increases. The pair explore whether the move signals the start of a gradual upward cycle, noting that rates often follow a fluctuating "sawtooth" pattern as the RBA works to stabilise the economy. They also highlight government spending and market liquidity as key contributors to inflation, with Garman suggesting Australia's tightening stance is unusual among major Western economies. The discussion raises concerns about the 5 per cent deposit scheme, with both warning that it could expose first home buyers to negative equity if property values fall. Tarrant further urges caution around the super saver scheme, stressing the importance of disciplined saving, budgeting, and living within one's means. Ultimately, they conclude that while higher rates present challenges, informed and adaptable investors may still find opportunities in a changing market.

In the latest episode of Finance Specialist, hosts Liam Garman and Trent Carter unpack what a shift back into an interest rate rising cycle could mean for brokers working across residential and SME lending. Recorded ahead of an anticipated Reserve Bank move, the conversation explores how rate increases tend to filter through the economy over time, rather than immediately, and why the real impact for brokers is often felt months later. Carter explains how changes to borrowing capacity may affect residential demand at the margins, while SME clients face pressure on both household and business cash flow, forcing tougher decisions around spending, restructuring, and finance strategy. The episode also looks at how brokers can adapt in a potentially tighter environment, shifting focus from new transactions to proactive client engagement, refinancing, and cash flow conversations. Garman and Carter discuss the importance of working closely with existing clients, stress-testing budgets, and helping business owners plan for higher funding costs and upcoming changes, such as payday super.

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, managing editor Liam Garman and deputy editor Emilie Lauer discuss two timely matters: the growing cyber security risks in property transactions, and Perth's milestone median house price. Garman highlights the rise of sophisticated scams, including cases where hackers have intercepted funds during property deals, stressing the importance of verification and two-factor authentication. He cites research showing that 97 per cent of buyers struggle to detect fraud, urging vigilance in all digital communications. The conversation then turns to Perth, where median house prices have surpassed $1 million following a 9.9 per cent quarterly increase, driven by low stock levels and high demand. The co-hosts explore contributing factors such as a tight labour market, government infrastructure projects, and a strong resources sector, all of which are limiting residential construction supply. The episode also reviews national trends, with Australian property values rising 937 per cent over 40 years, though affordability pressures and potential interest rate hikes suggest slower growth ahead. Rental trends were highlighted, showing unit rents now outperforming house rents in several cities, prompting investors to reassess strategies.

In the second part of their discussion on the REB Podcast, managing editor Liam Garman and deputy editor Emilie Lauer explore how investors can position their portfolios for 2026 as market conditions shift. The conversation focuses on rising demand driven by government schemes, constrained housing supply, and the need for more disciplined, price-sensitive strategies. The pair urge investors to use the slower summer period to review cash flow, equity, rental performance, and portfolio structure, rather than chasing outdated hotspots.  Additionally, they warn that widely publicised postcodes and AI-driven research tools can inflate demand and erode opportunity, reinforcing the importance of on-the-ground research and experienced advice. Looking ahead, diversification, particularly into commercial property, is emerging as a key theme for 2026.  Garman and Lauer also stress the need for emotional discipline, cautioning against rushed end-of-year decisions, and highlight goal-setting and investor well-being as essential foundations for long-term success.

A major regulatory shift is set to reshape the borrowing landscape, with APRA unveiling a new debt-to-income (DTI) cap that's sparked debate across the finance sector. In this episode of Finance Specialist, host Liam Garman sits down with co-host Trent Carter to unpack what the cap really means for brokers, borrowers, and lenders navigating a tightening credit environment. Garman and Carter unpack APRA's move to limit banks to writing only 20 per cent of new loans above a DTI of six, industry reaction from commentators concerned about borrower access, and why perceptions of restricted credit don't always align with the numbers. They also dive into the ripple effects for first home buyers, investor activity, and SME owners who rely on property-backed lending, and why this shift could accelerate a move toward genuine business lending grounded in cash flow and balance sheet strength. Carter underscores how brokers can differentiate themselves by interpreting regulatory change and guiding clients through more complex borrowing decisions as the industry recalibrates ahead of February.

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil Tarrant is joined by Annie Kane, managing editor of mortgages, and Liam Garman, managing editor of real estate. The host and the Momentum Media editors explore the complexities of the current Australian property market. They examine how government schemes, including the expanded 5% Deposit Scheme, are driving demand but causing delays as lenders struggle to keep up. Kane highlights that brokers are the main channel for the scheme, but overwhelming demand has led some lenders to pause pre-approvals. Tarrant raises concerns that the scheme could encourage unsustainable debt levels among first-time buyers. Investor lending is also on the rise, with the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) monitoring trends and considering measures to curb high debt-to-income ratios and rapid investor lending. Garman points to supply-demand pressures exacerbated by migration and infrastructure, warning of potential negative equity for some buyers. The discussion also covers the role of buyer's agents, emphasising the importance of choosing licensed professionals to avoid costly advice missteps. As the market evolves, the trio notes that navigating government interventions, lending practices, and ongoing supply-demand imbalances will be critical for both investors and home buyers.

In this episode of the Contested Ground podcast, hosts Phil Tarrant, Liam Garman, and Major General (Ret'd) Dr Marcus Thompson unpack two unfolding challenges shaping Australia's strategic outlook, an Iran-linked cyber breach exposing sensitive defence data, and China's latest move to outmanoeuvre Canberra in the Pacific. The discussion opens with the major cyber breach linked to Iran-aligned actors, exposing sensitive information from Australian defence programs through vulnerabilities in overseas contractors. Thompson warns that modern military platforms are now fully digital extensions of the network, and that the Australian Defence Force risks becoming collateral damage without stronger supply-chain defence. The hosts then turn to the Pacific, where China has unveiled a record $86 million aid package to Vanuatu, a direct counter to the Albanese government's stalled security pact. Garman notes the diplomatic setback highlights the limits of Australia's traditional leverage, with Port Vila reluctant to jeopardise its economic ties with Beijing. The conversation also covers China's commissioning of its first fully indigenous aircraft carrier, signalling a major step in Beijing's push for blue-water naval capability.

In this episode of the Econ Dev Show, Dane Carlson sits down with Rich Garman, Director of Economic Development and Finance at the North Dakota Department of Commerce, to explore how North Dakota's unique scale and culture enable fast, collaborative economic development. Rich highlights the benefits of a close-knit network where “everybody knows everybody,” the ability to push projects forward at breakneck speed, and the importance of trust and reputation in such a small state. Listeners will come away with insights into what makes North Dakota's approach distinctive and how lessons from the state's nimbleness can inspire economic developers everywhere. Like this show? Please leave us a review here (https://econdevshow.com/rate-this-podcast/) — even one sentence helps! Ten Actionable Takeaways for Economic Developers Build tight relationships across agencies to speed project approvals. Use small-scale networks to your advantage: connect decision-makers quickly. Develop a reputation for trustworthiness--bad actors get noticed fast. Create systems where a single text or call can move a project forward. Prioritize collaboration over silos; success requires every stakeholder. Emphasize speed to prospective investors--it's a competitive advantage. Highlight cultural strengths (community-mindedness, shared goals) in pitches. Streamline processes wherever possible; eliminate "waiting on someone's desk." Recognize the risk of reputation spread--protect your credibility at all costs. Translate small-state agility lessons into big-state or regional contexts. Special Guest: Rich Garman.

"O tarifaço não é o ponto de chegada. É o ponto de partida." Com essa declaração, o ministro da Fazenda, Fernando Haddad, deu o tom do dia seguinte após o decreto com o tarifaço de Donald Trump contra o Brasil. Para o governo brasileiro, a meta agora é proteger empresas e empregos — especialmente nos setores cujas exportações serão mais atingidas. Segundo o vice-presidente Geraldo Alckmin, um plano de ação está em curso para evitar prejuízos maiores. Mesmo com algum alívio inicial, a palavra de ordem segue sendo cautela. Neste episódio, Alan Severiano recebe Adriana Dupita e Christopher Garman para discutir as respostas e consequências ao tarifaço e à ofensiva política do presidente americano. Economista da Bloomberg para mercados emergentes, Adriana explica quais são os setores mais e menos atingidos pelas tarifas de 50%. E responde quais oportunidades comerciais podem se abrir ao Brasil neste momento. Diretor-executivo das Américas da consultoria Eurasia, Garman avalia que a escalada política ainda deve piorar. Ele fala também sobre as respostas que o governo brasileiro pode dar aos EUA, e avalia que tipo de impacto o tarifaço terá em 2026.
