This is despite US tariffs which were initially set at to 49%, but later negotiated down to ~20%. At the same time, Chinese exports to the US plunged -40% YoY in Q3 2025. This comes as the region has a massive cost advantage over US and European manufacturing, which ranges from 20% to 100%, even after tariffs. Companies use Southeast Asian economies as alternative export bases to avoid China’s 37% reciprocal tariff. As a result, the amount of trade rerouting from China hit a record $23.7 billion in September. US trade flows are shifting sharply amid tariffs. https://twitter.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/2008327708200104042?s=20 https://twitter.com/profstonge/status/2008516399564509382?s=20  https://twitter.com/DrJStrategy/status/2008306299235189133?s=20   and a decisive shift of policy emphasis toward productive capital and economic sovereignty rather than financial engineering, Trump has reoriented the engines of growth toward productive capital, investment, industry, and national capacity. Anchored by the Trump Corollary, asserting a sovereign, American‑led Western Hemisphere and demonstrated in both the flawless military operation in Venezuela and the broader regime‑pressure strategy, this doctrine is not theater but an integrated fusion of economic, security, and hemispheric power. These changes are as profound in their structural implications as the original Jacksonian pivot, and those who assume Trump is a merely performative politician and strategist are therefore sorely mistaken, confusing a disruptive style with a coherent focused project to realign America's coalition, its economic model, and its role in the world.

Greenland is the theatre where any strategic exchange between Washington and Moscow is contested. If you want to intercept a ballistic missile, the best point to do so is at the apogee, at the top of the flight path. The shortest route for an interceptor to get to an apogee is from directly below the apogee. That's where Greenland is. So, without stating what should happen here, this is **why** the Trump administration says they **need** Greenland for national security. The other thing that is happening is that the Northern Passage through the Arctic is opening up, and soon there will be Chinese cargo ships sailing through the Arctic to Rotterdam. It's faster than the Suez and the ships aren't limited to Suezmax size so China and EU trade is going to accelerate a lot. This means Chinese submarines will also be venturing under the Arctic into the Northern Atlantic, IF THEY AREN'T ALREADY DOING SO. Hence, the North East coast of Greenland serves not 1 but 2 critical strategic security objectives of US national security.

We Have Nothing to Lose!” (VIDEO)  Protests against Iran's murderous Islamic regime continued across the country for a ninth straight day over the weekend, as nationwide unrest intensifies and the government struggles to maintain control. Demonstrations have now spread to multiple cities throughout Iran, with citizens openly defying the Islamic Republic and targeting its symbols of power. The latest wave of protests was initially sparked by the collapse of Iran's currency, further devastating an already-crippled economy and pushing ordinary Iranians to the brink.

They insist the world runs on rules now and that borders are sacred. Also that true power has been replaced by paperwork. This belief is not moral in the least. It's f*****g archaeological. They live inside institutions built by violence, defended by men they no longer understand, and guaranteed by forces they refuse to acknowledge. Like tourists wandering a fortress, they admire the stonework while mocking the idea of a siege. They confuse order with nature. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Then blame the person that reminds them of this. Civilization is not the default state of humanity. It is an achievement that is temporary, fragile, and expensive. It exists only where force once cleared the ground and still quietly patrols the perimeter. A lion does not debate the ethics of hunger. Neither does a starving empire. History is not a morality play, it is a pressure test. When pressure rises, abstractions collapse first. Laws follow power; they do NOT precede it. Property exists only where someone can prevent it from being taken. Sovereignty is not declared, it is enforced. The modern West outsourced this enforcement, then forgot the invoice existed. So when someone points out uncomfortable realities (whether about Greenland, Venezuela, or the broader balance of power) they respond with ritual incantations: “You can't do that.” “That's wrong.” “That's against the rules.” As if the rules themselves are armed. As if history paused because we asked nicely. This is how empires fall. Not from invasion alone, but from conceptual rot. From mistaking a long season of safety for a permanent condition. From believing lethality is immoral instead of foundational. Every civilization that forgot how violence works eventually relearned it the hard way. The conquerors did not arrive because they were monsters; they arrived because their victims could no longer imagine them. The tragedy is not that power still exists. The tragedy is that so many have forgotten it does. Idk who needs to hear this but civilization is a garden grown atop a graveyard. Ignore the soil, and someone else will plant something far less gentle. Hate me for being the messenger and asking the hard questions about conquest if you want. You're just wasting your time. War/Peace Zelenskyy Announces the Appointment of Former Canadian Deputy Prime Minister, Chrystia Freeland as Economic Advisor  Chrystia Freeland was the former lead of the Canadian trade delegation when Trudeau realized he needed to try and offset the economic damage within the renegotiated NAFTA agreement known as the USMCA. Freeland was also the lead attack agent behind the debanking effort against Canadian truckers who opposed the vaccine mandate. In addition to holding Ukraine roots, the ideology of Chrystia Freeland as a multinational globalist and promoter for the World Economic Forum's ‘new world order' is well documented.    given the recent revelations about billions of laundered aid funds being skimmed by corrupt members of the Ukraine government, we can only imagine how much of the recovery funds would be apportioned to maintaining the life of indulgence the political leaders expect. In response to the lucrative “voluntary” appointment, Chrystia Freeland has announced her resignation from Canadian government in order to avoid any conflict of interest as the skimming is organized.

The “Coalition of the Willing” (including the UK, France, Germany, and others) is coordinating these pledges to reassure Kyiv, but the framework explicitly ties into U.S.-backed elements like ceasefire verification and long-term armaments.  Russia has not yet shown willingness to compromise on core demands, so the deal’s success remains uncertain, but this step advances the security pillar of the overall plan.

President Trump signs Executive Order 14287 in the Oval Office. The title reads like standard bureaucracy: “Protecting American Communities from Criminal Aliens.” But in the third paragraph, a single phrase changes everything: Sanctuary jurisdictions are engaging in “a lawless insurrection against the supremacy of Federal law.” Insurrection. The exact statutory term from 10 U.S.C. §§ 332-333 . The language that unlocks the Insurrection Act of 1807. Georgetown Law professor Martin Lederman publishes analysis within days. The executive order mirrors Section 334 requirements. The formal proclamation to disperse before military deployment. It designates unlawful actors, issues formal warning, establishes consequences. Governors dismiss it as political theater. Constitutional attorneys recognize something else. The proclamation was already issued. Trump just didn't announce it as such. THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK January 20, 2025. Inauguration Day. Hours after taking the oath, Trump issues Proclamation 10886 declaring a national emergency at the southern border. Section 6(b) requires a joint report within 90 days on whether to invoke the Insurrection Act. The deadline falls April 20, 2025. Eight days later comes Executive Order 14287 . National emergency declaration establishes crisis conditions. The 90-day clock forces formal evaluation. The executive order provides the legal predicate. Section 334 of the Insurrection Act mandates the president issue a proclamation ordering insurgents to disperse before deploying military force. April 28 order satisfies every requirement. It names the actors. Describes their unlawful conduct. Warns of consequences. Grants opportunity to comply. Governors treated it as negotiation leverage. It was legal notification. The trap locked in April 2025. Everything since has been documentation. THE TESTING PHASE Throughout 2025, the administration attempts standard enforcement. National Guard deployments under existing authority. October 4, 2025 . Trump federalizes 300 Illinois National Guard members to protect ICE personnel in Chicago. Governor J.B. Pritzker files immediate legal challenge. Federal courts block the deployment. Posse Comitatus restricts military involvement in domestic law enforcement. November 2025 . Portland judge issues permanent injunction against Guard deployment in Oregon. December 23, 2025 . The Supreme Court denies emergency relief in Trump v. Illinois. Justice Kavanaugh files a brief concurrence with a consequential footnote: “One apparent ramification of the Court's opinion is that it could cause the President to use the U.S. military more than the National Guard.” Northwestern Law professor Paul Gowder decodes the signal : “This is basically an invitation for Trump to go straight to the Insurrection Act next time.” The courts established ordinary measures cannot succeed when states organize systematic resistance. They certified that regular law enforcement has become impracticable. They documented the exact threshold Section 332 requires. The founders designed a system that assumed conflict between federal and state authority. For decades, that friction was suppressed. Emergency powers normalized after 9/11, federal agencies expanded into state domains, courts deferred to administrative expertise. The Guard deployment battles weren't system failure. They were constitutional gravity reasserting itself. Courts blocking deployments under Posse Comitatus didn't weaken Trump's position. They certified that ordinary measures had become impracticable, crossing Section 332's threshold. December 31, 2025 . Trump announces Guard withdrawal from Chicago, Los Angeles, and Portland via Truth Social. Governor Newsom celebrates: “President Trump has finally admitted defeat.” But the machine's interpretation misreads strategic repositioning as retreat. You cannot claim ordinary measures have been exhausted if contested forces remain deployed. Pull back. Let obstruction resume unchecked. Document the refusal. Then demonstrate what unilateral executive action looks like when constitutional authority aligns. THE DEMONSTRATION Trump v. United States . THE HIDDEN NETWORKS Intelligence sources describe what the roundups since fall 2025 actually target. Embedded cartel operatives running fentanyl distribution chains under state-level protection. The riots following military arrests aren't organic resistance. They're funded backlash from criminal enterprises losing billions. Pre-staged materials appear at protest sites. Simultaneous actions coordinate across jurisdictions. The coordination runs deeper. Federal employee networks across multiple agencies held Zoom training sessions in early 2025. Officials with verified government IDs discussed “non-cooperation as non-violent direct action,” the 3.5% rule for governmental collapse, and infrastructure sabotage through coordinated sick calls. They planned to make federal law enforcement impracticable. The exact language Section 332 requires. Sanctuary policies exist because cartel operations generate billions flowing through state systems. Governors sit on nonprofit boards receiving federal grants. Those nonprofits contract back to state agencies, cycling federal dollars through “charitable” organizations. Cartel cash launders through these same construction and real estate networks. When Trump's operations extract high-value targets, they disrupt the business model. The Machine defends itself through coordinated obstruction designed to make federal enforcement impracticable. This transcends immigration policy. This tests whether states can capture governance for criminal enterprises and nullify federal supremacy. THE LINCOLN PARALLEL Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation confounded supporters and critics alike. Abolitionists expected moral thunder. Instead they received dry legalese about “military necessity” and “war powers.” The document deliberately avoided the word “freedom.” It specified which states, parishes, counties. It exempted border states still in the Union. Constitutional historians recognize the genius. Lincoln wasn't making a moral proclamation. He was establishing irreversible legal predicate under war powers. Once issued, even Northern defeat couldn't fully restore slavery. The proclamation made restoration of the old order structurally impossible. Trump's April 28 order follows identical construction. Critics expected immigration rhetoric. Instead: technical language about “unlawful insurrection” and “federal supremacy.” Specified sanctuary jurisdictions, formal notification procedures, funding suspensions. Avoided inflammatory language. Constitutional attorneys recognize the structure. Irreversible legal predicate under insurrection powers. Even political defeat cannot fully restore sanctuary authority. States would have to prove they're not in systematic insurrection. Both presidents disguised constitutional warfare as administrative procedure. THE COMPLETE RECORD When you review the eight-month timeline you recognize what most ‘experts' miss. The April 28 EO satisfied every Section 334 requirement. It designated sanctuary conduct as insurrection. It provided formal notification. It established consequences. It granted eight months to comply. Compliance never arrived. California and New York passed laws shielding criminal networks. Illinois officials threatened to prosecute ICE agents. Multiple states coordinated legal defenses against federal authority. Courts blocked every standard enforcement attempt. They certified that ordinary measures have become impracticable. Every statutory requirement checks complete: Formal proclamation warning insurgents to disperse: April 28, 2025 Executive Order 14287 Extended opportunity to comply: Eight months from April to December 2025 Documented systematic multi-state obstruction: Sanctuary laws, prosecution threats, coordinated resistance Exhausted ordinary enforcement measures: Guard deployments blocked by federal courts Judicial certification of impracticability: Supreme Court ruling with Kavanaugh footnote The legal architecture stands finished. The predicate has been established. Only the final triggering event remains. Thomas Jefferson signed the Insurrection Act into law on March 3, 1807 . He understood executive authority: forge the instrument ahead of the storm, then await the conditions that justify its use. Abraham Lincoln used it to preserve the Union when eleven states organized systematic resistance. Ulysses S. Grant invoked it to shatter the Ku Klux Klan when Southern governments refused to protect Black citizens. Dwight Eisenhower deployed federal troops to enforce Brown v. Board when Arkansas chose defiance. Each invocation followed the same pattern. Local authorities refuse to enforce federal law. The president issues formal proclamation. Forces deploy when resistance continues. The current situation exceeds every historical precedent in scale and coordination. Multiple state governments coordinating systematic obstruction. Sanctuary jurisdictions spanning dozens of cities. Criminal enterprises funding the resistance through captured state institutions. The April proclamation gave them eight months to stand down. They chose escalation. THE COUNTDOWN The January 4 statement confirms what the legal timeline already established. Prerequisites met. Constitutional threshold crossed and judicially certified. The operational timeline is active. The next escalation triggers the formal dispersal order. Section 334 requires the president issue proclamation ordering insurgents to “disperse and retire peaceably to their abodes” before deploying military force. That's the legal tripwire. Once issued, if obstruction persists after the compliance window closes, federal troops can enforce federal law. Active duty forces under the Insurrection Act. Constitutional. Unreviewable. The forces won't conduct door-to-door immigration raids. They'll provide security perimeters while federal law enforcement executes targeted operations against high-value assets. Operatives. Trafficking nodes. Criminal infrastructure. Targeting oath-bound officials elected and appointed, as well as federal employees who swore to uphold federal law and chose insurrection instead. THE RESTORATION Sanctuary jurisdictions received explicit insurrection warnings last spring. More than half a year to comply. Every olive branch rejected. Courts blocked ordinary enforcement repeatedly, certifying impracticability. The Venezuela op demonstrated unilateral resolve. Yesterday's statement activated the operational sequence. Pattern recognized. Machine is exposed. Evidence is complete. What remains is execution. They're just waiting to hear it tick. The most powerful weapon restrains until every prerequisite aligns. Until mercy extends fully and meets systematic rejection. Until the constitutional framework demands its use. Every prerequisite has aligned. Mercy has been extended and rejected. The framework demands its use. Revolution destroys. Reversion restores. The Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves. The Insurrection Proclamation frees a republic.  https://twitter.com/EkoLovesYou/status/2008304655156342936?s=20 https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2008597603412308341?s=20 (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:13499335648425062,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-7164-1323"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="//cdn2.customads.co/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs");

In this episode of Culture of Change, Ashe in America and Jackie Espada examine the accelerating push toward collectivism and what it means for property rights, individual liberty, and the future of America. The conversation opens with New York's embrace of “shared equity” and the broader implications of redefining property as a collective good. From there, the discussion moves into the role of propaganda, screens, and media in shaping public perception, including a prescient look at how television and digital media condition behavior and suppress critical thinking. The hosts also dig into the NGO industrial complex, exposing how massive funding pipelines often benefit institutions more than the people they claim to serve, both domestically and abroad. Along the way, they explore cultural decay, recycled art, and the loss of genuine creativity in a hyper-mediated world, while offering a hopeful vision for renewal rooted in discernment, sovereignty, and personal responsibility.

Episode 4: We focus on the seller.

This is our annual, highest downloaded property market predictions episode — and it's one our clients wait for every year.   In 2025, our model was virtually 100% spot on. More importantly, for the last six years we've been sharing this framework privately, behind the scenes with our clients, to help them position early and act ahead of the market.   For 2026, we're opening it up and sharing the full model with you — completely free of charge.   We start by reviewing the 2025 model: forecast vs actual, breaking down what played out exactly as expected and what that tells us about the current phase of the cycle. We then zoom out to the wider economy, including the growing wealth gap and why it matters more than most people realise.   From there, we walk through the Master The Market 2026 model, covering exactly what we believe will happen next across: Inflation Interest rates Mortgage rates Property prices Rents GDP   This episode is not about headlines or hype. It's about understanding where we are in the cycle, where the pressure points are building, and how 2026 is likely to reward those who position early — and punish those who wait.   If you want clarity, conviction, and a strategic view of the year ahead, this is one episode you should not miss.   Following this episode, Daniel is running a live, one-off webinar where he'll break down the Top 3 Deal Strategies for 2026. The session is completely free, and full access details will be shared closer to the time.

285 - Silicon Valley to Mobile Home Rentals with Valentina Selskaya   In this episode of the Real Estate Investor Growth Network Podcast, Jen Josey sits down with REIGN member Valentina Selskaya, a former Silicon Valley IT leader turned powerhouse real estate investor. Valentina shares the unfiltered story of her first mobile home project—a deal that started with skepticism and ended with a cash-flowing rental, offering up a treasure trove of lessons for investors at every stage. The conversation is packed with actionable tips, candid reflections, and a healthy dose of humor about the realities of flipping and holding unconventional properties.   The episode opens with Jen's signature "Badassery Bestowment," highlighting the importance of keeping business and personal finances separate—a rookie mistake that can cause major headaches down the line. Valentina then takes listeners through her journey: from finding the deal through a wholesaler, to navigating a hoarder house filled with surprises (and fleas!), to overcoming financing hurdles and ultimately turning a challenge into a high-yield rental. Along the way, she shares the unexpected costs, the joys of working with great tenants, and the unique quirks of mobile home investing in Florida.   The conversation wraps with Valentina's insights on mindset, systems, and the value of community. She discusses her approach to time management, the role of the REIGN Mastermind in her growth, and what success means to her now that she's achieved financial freedom. Whether you're new to real estate or looking for inspiration to tackle your next big project, this episode delivers practical takeaways and motivational wisdom in classic REIGN style. 5 Key Takeaways Keep Your Finances Separate: Mixing business and personal funds can lead to confusion, legal issues, and tax-time headaches. Open dedicated business accounts and track every transaction from day one. Expect the Unexpected: Flipping a hoarder mobile home brought surprises—like four dumpsters of trash, hidden structural issues, and a flea infestation. Always budget extra for the unknown and bring a flashlight! Mobile Homes Are Different (and Profitable!): While mobile homes come with unique challenges, they can offer strong cash flow and easier permitting—especially in markets like Florida. Just be prepared for stricter lending limits. Trust Your Gut with Tenants: Valentina's story highlights the value of trusting intuition when selecting renters. Her contractor tenant not only pays on time but improved the property, proving that good people make great investments. Community & Action Drive Success: Valentina credits her growth to taking action (not overthinking), leveraging mastermind support, and focusing on systems that fit her style. Financial freedom, for her, means spending time with loved ones and living life on her terms. Guest Bio: Valentina Selskaya Valentina Selskaya is a former IT leader from Silicon Valley who launched her real estate investing journey in 2017 as a weekend side hustle. In just four years, she achieved full financial independence, leaving the corporate world to build a thriving business focused on house flips and a diverse portfolio of long, mid, and short-term rentals. Based in Georgia, Valentina is known for her analytical mind, fearless approach to new challenges, and commitment to helping others succeed. She's a licensed real estate agent, a valued REIGN Mastermind member, and a passionate advocate for the power of mindset and community in transforming lives.

Over the past year we've been told affordability would cap prices, that demand would fade, that higher costs of living would finally slow housing down. And yet, here we are – national home prices finishing the year almost 10 per cent higher, with some capital cities recording extraordinary double-digit growth.  So what really happened?  In today's episode, we're stepping away from opinions and into the evidence as Dr Andrew Wilson unpacks his end-of-December House Price Report, and it reveals not just where prices moved in 2025, but why they moved, and what that means as we head into 2026.  We'll talk about the cities that surged, the markets that quietly turned the corner, why units are suddenly back in favour, and why the next phase of this property cycle is likely to look very different from the last one.  If you want clarity instead of noise, and data instead of doom-and-gloom, this is an episode you'll want to stay with. Takeaways  ·         House prices have surged nearly 10% over the past year. ·         Patience is crucial in property investment; rushing leads to poor decisions. ·         2025 saw the strongest growth in property prices in three years. ·         Interest rates have significantly influenced buyer and seller confidence. ·         The market is expected to stabilize, with steady growth in 2026. ·         Long-term investment strategies are essential for success in real estate. ·         Understanding economic cycles is key to making informed investment decisions. ·         The current property growth is based on fundamentals, not speculation. ·         Chronic under-supply and population growth are driving market demand. ·         Investors should not make decisions based on short-term news.   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.

If you're stepping into 2026 determined to improve your cash flow, protect your rentals, and scale smarter, this episode is for you. We're kicking off the year by talking about the real opportunities available for landlords in 2026 — and the roadblocks that keep so many people stuck. Before you make another move, you need clarity on what's holding your portfolio back and how to break through it this year. Inside this episode, I'm sharing three simple but powerful ways to cut your expenses as a landlord — strategies most investors overlook, even though they can save hundreds (and sometimes thousands) each year: • How smart thermostats and routine HVAC servicing prevent expensive repairs • Why an annual insurance review is non-negotiable — and how raising your deductible can reduce premiums • How disciplined landlords can manage property taxes through a high-yield savings account • why hiring a real-estate-friendly CPA is one of the most profitable decisions you can make in 2026 These changes aren't flashy — but they are transformative. This is how you protect your cash flow, strengthen your rentals, and scale with confidence this year.

Property owners are howling as their property values, and their taxes keep going up. And the howls are loud enough for legislators to hear. They passed a number of measures aimed at providing property tax relief. But a grassroots effort to eliminate property taxes persists with the goal of qualifying a constitutional amendment for the 2026 ballot. Local governments and schools say that would be devastating. We will begin our lookback on the Statehouse and statewide news of 2025 with the push to reform property taxes and why any reforms from lawmakers may not be enough to stall a driver to abolish the taxes. Senate Bill 1, a higher education overhaul that targets what supporters call “liberal bias” on college campuses, went into effect in June. The bill, whose main architect is Sen. Jerry Cirino of Kirtland, targets most diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives on campuses and bans faculty strikes, among other measures. Legal marijuana will be more tightly regulated, and intoxicating hemp like the kind sold in corner stores and gas stations, will be banned after the legislature late in 2025 addressed those issues. Voters approved recreational marijuana in 2023 in a statute, not a constitutional amendment, allowing lawmakers to make changes. The Ohio Redistricting Commission redrew the state's congressional district maps in 2025 because the map adopted in 2022 did not have bipartisan support, meaning it had to be redrawn instead of being in place for a decade. The new map gives Republicans an edge in 12 of Ohio's 15 districts. The current map delivered 10 seats to Republicans. But this one did get bipartisan support on the commission because Democrats said they feared if they opposed it, and it went to the full legislature, the map would be even more lopsided in favor of Republicans. The months-long negotiations over Ohio's new two-year operating budget dominated the work of lawmakers for the first half of 2025. In the end, lawmakers handed off to the governor a $60 billion spending plan that flattens the state income tax, restricts the kinds of levies schools can ask voters to approve and changes the funding formula for libraries, eliminating the set percentage they received each year. Can Ohio produce enough power to keep up with demands from both consumers and data centers? That was a big issue in 2025, as the governor signed House Bill 15 in May, addressing power generation and grid reliability. Ohio voters approved an amendment to the state constitution, in place since 2023, protecting abortion rights and reproductive health. That doesn't mean lawmakers opposed to abortion were going to halt their efforts to limit it. Last year, they continued to introduce legislation opponents say conflicts with the voter-approved amendment. It's 2026 and that means big races in Ohio -- from the governor's seat with no incumbent to the Senate seat that will likely break fundraising records again -- are on the clock. Midterms will be a huge story for 2026, and races started taking shape in 2025 with the emergence of Vivek Ramaswamy on the Republican side and Dr. Amy Acton as the apparent Democratic candidate.

Right, let's be honest. Did you actually achieve what you wanted in 2025? Not "sort of" or "made some progress" - did you actually do it?  Most people listening to this will have fallen short. Maybe you spent another year researching. Maybe you were waiting for the perfect moment. Maybe you convinced yourself the market wasn't right, or you weren't ready, or you'd definitely do it next year.  We're not doing another year of that. This episode walks through exactly what stopped you last time (probably not what you think), how to get your strategy straight before you do anything else, and why the magic formula - leverage, inflation, time and a discount - is the only thing that really matters.  Whether you're starting out or you've already got a portfolio that's gone a bit stale, this is about the difference between people who spend 2026 learning and people who spend it doing.   We've also put together a free Property Goals Planner that breaks this down into actual monthly actions, because January enthusiasm means nothing if you hit November and realise you've done nothing.  (1:05) Did you do everything you wanted in 2025?   (2:50) Stop waiting for ‘perfect'  (7:10) Get your strategy straight   (11:00) The magic formula   (15:50) Actions for 2026  (17:50) Looking ahead - what's coming  (25:20) Your 2026 action plan  (20:57) Hub Extra    Links mentioned:  Fable: Get the app  Rob & Rob AI: Link here  The Property Wealth Formula: Join the webinar  Understanding the investors magic formula: Take the course  This property formula will make you rich: Listen to the episode  How Goal Setting will change your life: Listen to this episode  The Property Hub Goals Planner: Download here  Enjoy the show?  Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts - it really helps others find us!  Sign up for our free weekly newsletter, Property Pulse  Find out more about Property Hub Invest 

In this episode of Inside Commercial Property, host Phil Tarrant sits down with Scott O'Neill, CEO of Rethink Group, to review the performance of the Australian commercial property market in 2025 and unpack what investors should be preparing for as the market moves into 2026. This in-depth discussion revisits early-year predictions and holds them to account, analysing how interest rate cuts, supply shortages, lending conditions and investor sentiment shaped outcomes across key asset classes, including retail property, industrial property, and office assets. Drawing on insights from hundreds of transactions completed throughout the year, Scott provides a ground-level view of how capital has actually been deployed in the commercial market. Key commercial property trends from 2025 The episode explores why large format retail and neighbourhood shopping centres emerged as some of the strongest-performing commercial asset classes, supported by yield appeal, limited new supply, and resilient tenant demand. Scott also explains how secondary industrial assets continued to outperform prime industrial stock, driven by higher yields, owner-occupier demand, and replacement cost pressures. Office markets are also assessed, with commentary on stabilising conditions in select suburban and freehold office assets, contrasted against ongoing challenges in secondary CBD office stock. The conversation extends to regional and residential property markets, highlighting which capital cities delivered the strongest growth and how government incentives influenced late-year momentum. Listeners will gain practical insight into: Beyond market performance, this episode dives into commercial property investment strategy, focusing on how experienced investors are: Consolidating portfolios rather than accumulating smaller assets. Prioritising cash flow resilience over speculative growth. Diversifying across asset classes and geographies, including New Zealand commercial property. Actively refinancing to improve servicing and capital efficiency. Scott also shares practical lessons from 2025 around asset management, due diligence, development feasibility, tenant risk, and knowing when to exit underperforming properties – reinforcing why commercial portfolios must be managed like businesses, not passive investments. This episode is essential listening for anyone looking to understand where commercial property sits in the current cycle, how professional investors are positioning capital, and what disciplined commercial property investing looks like in a maturing market. What to expect in episode 69 In Episode 69, listeners will gain clarity on which asset classes are expected to deliver the strongest risk-adjusted returns, how interest rate cuts and lending competition are reshaping opportunities, and the strategic considerations disciplined investors should be making as they optimise portfolios and protect downside risk heading into 2026.

Property strategy matters more than ever in 2026.In this episode, we revisit the biggest property conversations of the past year - from first-home and investor case studies to buyer's agent insights, auction tactics, cash flow vs capital gains, interest rates, OCR cuts, and what actually drives confident property decisions heading in 2026Register now: Buying a home, investing, or want better control of your money?

Understanding the Tax Trinity: Basis, Realization, and Non-RecognitionThis conversation delves into the fundamental concepts of property taxation, focusing on the tax trinity of basis, realization, and non-recognition. The discussion outlines how tax basis serves as the foundation for calculating gains or losses, the significance of realization events in triggering tax liabilities, and the implications of adjusted basis over time. It contrasts the treatment of gifts and inheritances, highlighting the stepped-up basis rule, and explores various non-recognition rules that allow for tax deferral. The conversation concludes with a reflection on the policy implications of these tax rules, particularly the stepped-up basis at death.In the complex world of tax law, understanding the foundational concepts of basis, realization, and non-recognition is crucial. These principles form the bedrock of property taxation and are essential for anyone studying tax law or preparing for the bar exam.The Foundation: Basis Basis is your investment baseline for tax purposes. It's the starting point for calculating gain or loss when you sell an asset. While it sounds simple—basis equals cost—the reality involves numerous exceptions and adjustments. For instance, the Uniform Capitalization Rules (Unicap) require businesses to capitalize production costs, adding complexity to the calculation.Realization: The Tax Trigger Realization is the event that triggers tax calculation. It's not just about cash transactions; exchanges of property or debt relief can also constitute realization events. The legal definition, as established in landmark cases, emphasizes the need for a transaction to lock in gains.Non-Recognition: The Escape Hatch Non-recognition statutes allow taxpayers to defer gains under certain conditions. The like-kind exchange rule under IRC Section 1031 is a prime example, allowing deferral of gains when swapping investment properties. However, the rules are strict, and missing deadlines can result in immediate tax liability.Mastering these concepts is not just about passing exams; it's about understanding how wealth moves through the tax system. The step-up in basis rule, for instance, allows billions in unrealized gains to escape taxation annually. As you delve deeper into these topics, consider the broader policy implications and the ongoing debates surrounding these rules.Subscribe now to stay updated on the latest in tax law and gain insights into the intricacies of the tax code.TakeawaysTax basis is the starting point for calculating gain or loss.Realization is the event that triggers tax liability.Adjusted basis changes over time due to improvements and depreciation.Gifts carry over the donor's basis, while inheritances receive a stepped-up basis.Non-recognition rules allow for tax deferral in certain transactions.Like-kind exchanges allow deferral of gains when swapping similar properties.The dual basis rule prevents gifting losses.The stepped-up basis rule at death excludes unrealized gains from taxation.Realization and recognition are distinct concepts in tax law.The policy debate around the stepped-up basis rule is significant.tax law, property taxation, tax basis, realization, non-recognition, gifts, inheritances, tax deferral, IRS, tax code

A PHILOSOPHER OBSERVES A COMING WAR Colleague Professor James Romm. At the Olympic Games, Plato met the exiled Dion and learned that the tyrant had confiscated Dion's property and given his wife to another man. Despite the growing tension, Plato visited Syracuse a third time in 361 BCE to attempt reconciliation. Romm argues that Plato's harsh description of the "tyrannical man" in The Republic was directly inspired by his personal observations of living under the roof of the Syracusan tyrant.

As you prepare your new year's resolutions, take a moment to ask, "What's your elevator pitch?" This holiday week, we're sharing a classic episode featuring an inspirational and thought-provoking scenario that you can bring into your personal and professional life. A claims adjuster is out at a party when they are asked: "So, what do you do for a living?" Our adjuster responds with just: "I'm in insurance claims." That's an "Oh no" moment. Turns out their cousin had a terrible experience on a claim and our adjuster is going to hear all about it, ending in: "You claims people are all cheaters!"  Notable Timestamps [ 00:36 ] - Today's scenario begins as an interpersonal encounter about explaining your career in insurance, but the elevator pitch is applicable even on claims. [ 02:05 ] - What our claims professional needed was an elevator pitch: a succinct, prepared, organized response. Whether at a party or at a claims site, our adjuster wants to know how to summarize their thoughts in a persuasive way. Ding Ding! Your elevator's here! Are you ready? [ 02:30 ] - Mike was asked: "what's your elevator pitch?" That was an "oh no" moment... [ 03:35 ] - An elevator pitch is a simple presentation that you give in the time it would take to ride an elevator: around 30 seconds. [ 04:18 ] - 1. Grab 'em at the beginning. Get their attention with a great opening. [ 04:25 ] - 2. Tell 'em what you're gonna tell 'em. Be organized in your thought process. [ 04:32 ] - 3. Hit 'em with your bid conclusion/sell/ask. Be brief and practiced. [ 05:11 ] - Alissha: "So, what do you do for a living?" Mike: 1. "I allow you to take the risks to make life worth living." 2. "Without insurance, you wouldn't be able to insure your home or car." 3. "We step in when bad things happen and we hope to get people back on their feet." [ 09:15 ] - Be prepared, be organized, be succinct. [ 10:00 ] - Let's say an insured has suffered a casualty loss. How can an elevator pitch help? 1. "I'm so sorry that this happened." Take a moment to express sincere empathy. 2. Review the medical records / facts. 3. "I know that this has impacted your life, so how about we take care of your damages?" [ 11:50 ] - What's the pitch for a hurricane loss? Again, start off with an emotional connection. Second, spell out the steps to get them back into the place they were before the accident. Third, conclude with the ask and what you need for the next steps. [ 13:35 ] - Mike applies the elevator pitch to auto claims handling. [ 15:42 ] - Mike provides a recap of the scenario and the points above.

While usually friendly, Dallasidentified the birds as enemies, aided by territorial magpies that swooped in to drive the cockatoos away.
