Donaldson shares how his military mindset, forged in some of the most demanding operational environments, has shaped his approach to wealth building.

In this episode of the Defence Property Podcast, co-hosts Liam Garman and Kane Dury, director and lead buyer's agent at Discover Buyers Agency, explore the unique challenges and advantages Australian Defence Force (ADF) members face in property investment as they often relocate. Due to frequent relocations, ADF life complicates traditional home ownership but also offers exposure to various markets nationwide, with the duo suggesting that investors begin with clear investment goals and use available defence benefits like the Defence Home Ownership Assistance Scheme (DOHAS) and Home Purchase Assistance Scheme (HPAS). ADF members also benefit from rental assistance, making ownership more financially viable than it may be for civilians, while flexibility in relocation allows them to target emerging property markets. Dury said that a common strategy involves buying a home, living in it to meet benefit requirements, then converting it into a rental when posted elsewhere. The duo stresses the value of professional advice to navigate complex deals and optimise outcomes, suggesting ADF members take action, leverage their benefits, and invest strategically to build wealth through property. For more key strategies to build a successful portfolio, listen to Kane Dury here. Do you need more information on the market conditions surrounding Australia's largest defence bases?

In this episode of The Pure Property Podcast, co-hosts Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop discuss the post-election results and how the pledge housing policies are criticised for ignoring the core crisis of chronic housing undersupply. The duo discuss how critics have argued that the pledge proposals are short-term fixes that fail to resolve the core issue of housing undersupply, with measures such as stamp duty cuts and first-time buyer grants offering limited impact without addressing how to build homes more efficiently and affordably. The co-hosts then analyse the current property market using CoreLogic's latest data, which showed that the market is broadly recovering, with growth recorded in every capital city in April. The FAST 50 report, set to launch soon, is expected to highlight top investment areas with strong growth potential through 2026. However, challenges remain, such as record-low new listings, underscoring persistent supply constraints. Investor confidence is also being tested by potential new taxes on unrealised super fund gains. While the overall market shows resilience, growth is slowing in leading cities like Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide.

In this episode of The Pure Property Podcast, co-hosts Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop explore how broader economic forces, such as trade tensions and government taxes, impact the property market. The duo starts the conversation by discussing how international trade tensions, such as US tariffs on Australian beef, might impact the broader economy and affect the property market, encouraging investors to concentrate on what they can control to prevent frustration. The hosts then analyse new CoreLogic data indicating that residential property values have reached record highs, mainly fuelled by growth in affordable markets like Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth. Melbourne, once underperforming, is now showing signs of recovery, offering opportunities for strategic investors despite an increase in taxes and regulations. The pair also discuss how future interest rate cuts and changes to lending serviceability could improve borrowing capacity and boost market activity.

This week, I chat to long-term friend of the show, Rob Dix, co-host of the Property Podcast, author of The Price of Money and now a new book Seven Myths About Money, which I highly recommend. Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/session564    02:10 - Remind us about who you are and what you do. 03:47 - What was the trigger for writing this book hard on the heels of The Price of Money? 08:53 - Can you summarise the Ashvin Chhabra money motivations and why we need a new paradigm for risk management? 16:44 - I imagine some people will be surprised to read your challenge about home ownership. Can you tell us your views on home-ownership as a kind of default goal for so many people? 21:30 - I found myself nodding along as I was reading all of the book, and especially the sections around compounding and diversification - both of which are part of the accepted doctrine of investing. Is it fair to say that you think we're in for a lower and slower investing world going forward? 26:15 - If you had to give a single piece of advice to anyone looking to take their finances seriously, perhaps for the first time? 29:45 - Where's the best place to get the book and find out more about what you're up to?  https://robdix.com/myths/
