In this episode of the Rent Perfect Podcast, David Pickron and Scot Aubrey dive into one of the wildest situations a landlord can face. At 12:15 AM, one of David's tenants sent him a shocking video of a furious downstairs neighbor pounding on their door, yelling profanities, and accusing them of “walking too loudly.” The audio is intense. The confrontation is real.  And yes—the police were called… and caught the neighbor lying directly to their face.In today's episode, we break down:✔️ What the tenant recorded that night✔️ How the downstairs neighbor escalated the situation✔️ What happened when the police arrived✔️ How David handled the fallout the next day✔️ When (and why) landlords should consider an Order of Protection✔️ What your legal options are when you don't own both units✔️ Why this type of situation affects EVERY landlord, sooner or laterThis isn't just drama—it's a real case study in landlord safety, tenant relations, and the unexpected responsibilities that come with property management. Whether you're a new landlord or you've been in the game for years, this is one episode you do not want to miss.

In this episode of Property Investing Insights with Right Property Group, Victor and Reshmi Kumar join Phil Tarrant to unpack how a new shopping centre planned across the road from a local development is igniting real estate buzz and reshaping investor expectations in an evolving Australian market. The discussion explores how the strategically located, five-acre site on a main road – with Landcom interest and experienced management oversight – is positioned to boost convenience, demand, and long-term property values. They walk through the project's risk-managed framework, including an unsecured second mortgage and caveat, noting that even if projections were off by 50 per cent, the numbers suggest the development still stacks up as a profitable play with a construction certificate of around $1.8 million. The conversation then widens to the importance of strategic planning and risk management in property investment, highlighting how thorough due diligence can uncover minimal downside in well-chosen projects. The team also draws on insights from nine years of podcasting, observing that while there's more information than ever, many investors still make poor financial decisions without reliable guidance and a clear strategy. They examine key market headwinds, including the increasing scrutiny from the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority (APRA) of high debt-to-income loans, the surge in investor lending, and the unintended consequences of the 5 per cent deposit scheme on affordability and household debt. The rising influence of buyer's agents and investor-focused services is also dissected, with a warning that misplaced trust or herd behaviour could cause financial damage over the next five to ten years. As the outlook for 2026 remains uncertain, the trio underscores that successful investors will be those who balance growth and cash flow, respect regulatory shifts, and treat location, timing, and risk management as non-negotiables in their portfolio strategy.

Cody Wiseman  - Wiseman Capital On the Caring for Your Investments: "I don't want to be driving by that in 15 years and seeing it's a dump." Investing in real estate has many benefits, but not all investors are created equal. Cody Wiseman started investing in real estate a few years ago.  Through his hard work and care he has built a portfolio, which is great.  the exciting thing is that he gets compliments from his tenants and neighbors for the work that he has done to the properties, to lift the neighborhoods to be nicer places to live.  Without necessarily raising rents.  Affordable luxury, is what he calls it. From the challenges of his very first property renovation, to the ambitious transformation of a rundown motel into affordable luxury apartments, Cody Wiseman shares the behind-the-scenes realities of real estate: sleepless nights, hard-earned lessons, and the creative hustle required to make deals work. Listeners will get an insider's look at how Cody Wiseman partners with local investors, the value of authentic networking—like the Madison Multifamily Meetup that he's grown into the Midwest's largest—and why hands-on leadership and a passionate team matter. Listen as Cody explains his philosophies on real estate investing and how you can apply them to your real estate investments as well. Enjoy!

Property investment has entered dangerous new territory. What used to be about building long-term wealth has become clouded by hype, shortcuts, and unqualified advice. Investors are being drawn into speculative schemes disguised as strategy. In this episode, Veronica and Chris sit down with Ben Kingsley, Founding Managing Director of Empower Wealth and Chair of the Property Investors Council of Australia (PICA), to unpack the alarming resurgence of speculative, misleading, and unlicensed property advice spreading across Australia.Ben recently authored an open letter to industry associations, warning of “get-rich-quick” operators, social media influencers, and unqualified advisors encouraging investors to buy properties through risky trust structures and self-managed super funds. He reveals how these practices are distorting regional markets, luring naive investors, and potentially triggering a regulatory backlash that could reshape the entire property sector.From “pump and dump” tactics to trust lending loopholes and the rise of volume-driven buyer's agents buying sight unseen, this conversation exposes the systemic risks emerging from the unregulated fringes of the industry. Ben, Veronica, and Chris also explore how social media hype, FOMO marketing, and easy credit are fueling another wave of short-term speculation that could end in disaster.If you care about the future of Australia's property market—or just want to protect yourself from being swept up in the next boom-and-bust cycle—this is an episode you can't afford to miss.Episode Highlights00:00 — Why Risky Property Advice Is Back on the Rise01:36 — Speculative Behaviour: The Return of Fast-Money Mindsets02:25 — How Speculation Threatens Consumers and Market Stability03:59 — Unlicensed Advisors and the Power of Social Media Influence06:14 — Regional Market Distortions: When Buyer's Agents Go Rogue08:21 — Will ASIC Step In?

Being a landlord isn't always about leases, rent checks, and property management—it's about people. In this deeply personal episode of the Rent Perfect Podcast, host David Pickron and co-host Scot Aubrey discuss one of the hardest situations David has ever faced in over 30 years of landlording: evicting an elderly tenant who lost her home, her money, and possibly her ability to live independently.What do you do when your role as an investor collides with your heart as a human being? How do you balance compassion with protecting your property? When does helping cross into becoming a caretaker? This episode dives into the moral dilemmas landlords rarely talk about—from navigating Adult Protective Services to managing family estrangements, unpaid rent, and the crushing weight of being labeled “the villain” when tough decisions must be made.Whether you're a new landlord, a seasoned investor, or someone simply curious about the human side of property management, this story will challenge how you think about responsibility, compassion, and business. Share your thoughts in the comments—what would YOU have done?

Think you need a massive portfolio to reach financial freedom? Think again. In this episode, Chad Carson breaks down why “going big” isn't always the smartest move — and how a few great rentals can build serious wealth and give you your time back. You'll learn his “small and mighty” approach to real estate, how just three rentals could snowball into millions, and the mindset shift that helps investors achieve real freedom without burnout. KEY TALKING POINTS:0:00 - Intro0:30 - Do You Need To Build A Massive Portfolio?1:13 - A Case Study5:25 - An Example Of The Numbers Of Just 3 Rentals12:06 - The Takeaways15:33 - Outro LINKS:Instagram: Chad Carsonhttps://www.instagram.com/CoachChadCarson Website: Chad Carsonhttps://www.coachcarson.com/ Instagram: David Leckohttps://www.instagram.com/dlecko Website: DealMachinehttps://www.dealmachine.com/pod Instagram: Ryan Haywoodhttps://www.instagram.com/heritage_home_investments Website: Heritage Home Investmentshttps://www.heritagehomeinvestments.com/

Simon explores the concept of turning "lead into gold" within property investment, a metaphor for acquiring a seemingly problematic or underperforming property and transforming it into a highly profitable asset.  The "lead" is often a property being sold by a retiring or struggling landlord who sees it as a burden, possibly due to low rents, maintenance issues, or a lack of creative strategy… KEY TAKEAWAYS Unlike investing in physical gold, which does not provide income, property investment offers both income and capital growth over the long term, and allows for the use of borrowed money (leverage). The phrase "turning lead into gold" refers to acquiring a property that is a problem for the existing landlord (the "lead") and using a fresh, creative strategy Many retiring or struggling landlords are not maximising their property's potential—often by keeping rents too low, neglecting maintenance, or only using a single, restrictive strategy The opportunity for new investors is to approach the property with a fresh pair of eyes, recognising ways to improve the standards, change the tenant type, or implement development strategies BEST MOMENTS "The big problem with gold is that you can hold it but it doesn't actually give you any income" "They're probably not maximising that property, not making the most out of it. Probably the rents are not as high as they could be... because if you've got a good tenant in the property, you're inclined to keep that tenant there." "They might have been investing for 20 years, but they might have just had one strategy and one way of using that property... That doesn't mean they know more than you."
