Send Us A Message! Let us know what you think.Is the Reserve Bank's latest interest rate hike a sudden shock to the system, or is it actually the clearest sign yet that the economic fog is finally lifting? In this episode of the Week in Review, Debbie Roberts from Property Apprentice breaks down the wave of fresh real estate data for the week ending Friday, 10th of July, 2026. While the mainstream media headlines are busy dancing in panic over the central bank's shift to 2.5%, the underlying economic metrics tell a completely different story—revealing massive silver linings for both property buyers and landlords who look at the numbers with total discipline. The Five Core Topics Discussed:Topic 1: The Consensus OCR Reduction in Stimulus – Breaking down the RBNZ's unexpected decision to raise the Official Cash Rate by 25 basis points to 2.5%, why peak inflation has officially been slashed, and why interest rates may come down faster than bank economists previously projected. Topic 2: The Widening Regional Market Fracture – A deep dive into the latest QV House Price Index showing national values dropping slightly by 0.4%, while the market splits along strict regional lines with Christchurch outperforming Auckland and Wellington. Topic 3: Why "Risky" Properties are Outperforming the Broader Market – Analyzing the bombshell Cotality report revealing that flood-susceptible homes have gained 26.1% in value since 2020—outgrowing unaffected zones as cost-conscious buyers hunt out $100,000 upfront discounts. Topic 4: The Auckland Rental Market Winter Reset – Looking past the headline shock of an 10.9% drop in rental enquiries to reveal why tenant demand remains fundamentally strong year-on-year, and how available stock listings have expanded buyer selection by 10.9%. Topic 5: The Pervasive Fall of Household Interest Costs – Unpacking the latest Westpac household finances chart pack proving that household interest spending has successfully declined for a fifth consecutive quarter, heavily supported by a 3.8% climb in disposable incomes.

Jessey sits down with Travis King, a familiar face on this show and the host of The King Show, to talk about a strategy most land investors skip entirely: landlocked properties. While everyone else scrubs these parcels out of their lists, Travis has built a whole playbook around targeting them, and the discounts sellers are willing to give can be massive.Travis breaks down what actually makes a property landlocked, why it scares off traditional buyers, and how that fear creates opportunity for investors willing to do the work. He walks through his exact process for negotiating easement access with neighbors, structuring low offers sellers already expect, and even stacking in a subdivide to multiply returns.If you've ever passed on a deal because it lacked road access, this episode might change your mind. Travis shares real numbers from his own deals, including one property he picked up for around 5,000 dollars and resold for 50,000.What You'll Learn:- What actually makes a property landlocked and why title companies won't insure it- How to negotiate easement access with neighbors, including what to offer and what to say- Where to find landlocked properties and how to build a targeted list- How to price and structure discounted offers without scaring sellers offConnect with Travis King:

Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court in Abuja has mandated the definitive forfeiture of 48 properties, which include Rayhaan University. Located in Birnin Kebbi, associated with former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, to the Federal Government.The decision comes in response to a civil forfeiture petition submitted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The anti-corruption agency demonstrated that the assets were reasonably believed to be the proceeds of illegal activities.Justice Abdulmalik rejected multiple applications and claims of ownership presented by Malami, his relatives, and affiliated companies. The judge highlighted that the matter before the court was not about the ownership of the properties, but rather the legitimacy of the funds utilized to acquire them.The court's ruling was made under Section 17 of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act. It concluded that the respondents did not provide evidence that the assets were obtained through lawful means of income.The EFCC had previously obtained an interim forfeiture order in January 2026 for 57 properties valued at ₦212.8 billion. In the final ruling, the court annulled the interim order for some of the assets, confirming the permanent forfeiture of 48 properties.Abubakar Malami, who held the position of Nigeria's Chief Law Officer from 2015 to 2023 during the Muhammadu Buhari administration, is also facing distinct criminal charges. These charges include a trial for ₦8.7 billion in money laundering and abuse of office involving his wife, Bashir Asabe, and his son, Abdulaziz Malami.

Andy Ansin is the third generation of one of South Florida's most enduring families. His grandfather Sidney founded Sunbeam in 1953. His father Ed turned WSVN-Channel 7 into a Miami institution and built the Miramar Park of Commerce. Now, as CEO of Sunbeam Properties and owner of WSVN, Andy is writing the next chapter at a pace that feels a lot like the newsroom he grew up in.Over a cocktail, we trace the whole arc: a Miami Beach kid running camera cable in the WSVN newsroom as a teenager, coming back after Brown, and stepping into the CEO seat in 2020. Then we get into what he is building now. Miramar Cove, the 125-acre lifestyle center he broke ground on this year, on land his grandfather bought for about a hundred dollars an acre. The Isle of Dreams towers rising in North Bay Village. And the family philosophy behind it, including why he builds with cash instead of debt.This being a biography show, we also get the side most people never see, including his passion for spearfishing. Turns out the guy running two megaprojects at once finds his head clearest underwater. Grab a drink and settle in.Connect with usWant to dive deeper into Miami's commercial real estate scene?
Steve Deace sits down with Steve Hemphill, a former CEO of a seven-figure tech company, lifelong cessationist, and now one of the most unusual ministers in America. After a mysterious sealed envelope from his dying father set him on a path he never expected, Hemphill walked away from everything to study spiritual warfare, ultimately developing a ministry built around staking property corners with Scripture, a practice he says has produced results too strange to dismiss and too consistent to ignore.

What if the smartest move in real estate right now isn't multifamily at all? While thousands of investors keep fighting over the same overpriced apartment deals, Zander Kemp walked away from 23 apartment buildings to chase something almost nobody else was building: luxury glamping and hot spring resorts parked right outside America's busiest national parks. In this episode, Zander, founder of Clear Summit Investments, breaks down exactly how he identified outdoor hospitality as a massively underpriced niche, still 90% owned by mom and pop operators, trading at cap rates nearly double what multifamily and self storage command. He walks through his entire investment thesis: why proximity to growing metro areas and capped national park visitation numbers create built in demand, how amenities like cold plunges and hot tubs drive outsized returns per unit, and how his Real Freedom Income Fund structures investor returns across three distinct paths, from 10% monthly cash flow to 14% compounded over three years. He also gets refreshingly specific about deal sourcing, the "work camper" staffing model that keeps his resorts running lean, and the exact criteria his team uses to evaluate a property before writing an offer. This episode is essential listening for accredited investors tired of razor thin multifamily margins and looking for a niche with real pricing power, and for anyone curious how a former military officer turned house flipper built a five resort portfolio averaging 24% annual returns. If you have ever wondered whether there is a smarter way to invest passively while still getting to enjoy what you own, this conversation lays out the blueprint. 5 Powerful Takeaways Discover why outdoor hospitality assets are trading at nearly double the cap rate of multifamily and self storage, and what that spread means for investor returns. Learn the exact location criteria Clear Summit uses before buying a resort, including proximity to national parks and growing metro job markets. Understand how strategic amenities like cold plunges and communal hot tubs can dramatically boost revenue per unit without ballooning costs. Get a clear breakdown of the three investment paths in the Real Freedom Income Fund and how to choose the right one for your cash flow goals. Hear how the "work camper" staffing model solves the on-site management problem for remote hospitality properties at a fraction of traditional labor costs. 00:00 Welcome to REIGN 00:53 Tax Lien Basics 03:26 Meet Zander Kemp 05:14 From Military to Multifamily 07:39 Why Outdoor Hospitality 11:02 Shifting in Tough Markets 13:54 National Parks Strategy 17:01 Resorts vs Short Term Rentals 18:11 Amenities and Day Passes 19:19 Investor Returns and Deal Criteria 22:53 Investor Paths Explained 24:27 Security and Redemption Terms 25:02 Resort Perks and Stays 27:01 Inside the Properties 28:44 Food Beverage Add Ons 29:28 On Site Staffing Model 31:34 Accredited Investor Rules 31:56 Clear Summit Growth Plans 33:01 How to Invest Now 34:13 Dogs and Dog Parks 34:58 Badass Book Mindset 36:24 Advice Focus and Drive 38:36 Goals Systems and Success 41:20 Closing and Subscribe About the Guest Zander Kemp is the founder of Clear Summit Investments, where he helps accredited investors build passive wealth through luxury RV and glamping resorts situated near America's national parks. Over nine years in real estate, he has completed 55 deals and worked with roughly 150 investors, scaling from single-family turnkey rentals to 23 apartment buildings before pivoting entirely into outdoor hospitality. He has since grown Clear Summit to five resorts across the Rocky Mountain region, delivering investors an average 24% annual return. Zander's background spans military service, high-rise and industrial development, and hands-on distressed multifamily renovation, giving him a rare, full-spectrum view of real estate investing. He now leads the Real Freedom Income Fund, built around the same freedom-focused philosophy that drives his own life between Hawaii's North Shore and the mountains he loves to climb.

From Investor to Client Strategist Tom Herceg began his journey with House Finder as an investor chasing financial freedom. Less than five years later, we built a portfolio of 8 properties with over $3 million in combined capital growth. Even more impressively, three of those properties TRIPLED in value during that time. Despite this exceptional growth, his entire portfolio is only around $20,000 negatively geared per year - a figure that's expected to improve as rental increases are on the horizon After experiencing the strategy firsthand, Tom was so convinced by the results that he joined House Finder as a Client Strategist, helping other investors achieve similar success. He doesn't teach theory. He teaches from real experience - the wins, the mistakes, and everything in between. That's exactly what we believe in: experienced investors helping other investors build wealth through proven, real world experience.
