In this episode, REB journalist Emilie Lauer sits down with PRD chief economist Dr Diaswati Mardiasmo to unpack the current state of Australia's property market and spotlight the most affordable, liveable suburbs. The duo starts the episode by exploring the market's response to the previous interest rate cuts and how they've impacted demand, supply, and property prices. Asti said that while the first cut had minimal effect, the second led to a modest rise in auction clearance rates, building momentum for future cuts. The duo then turns to PRD's latest report, identifying affordable suburbs within 20 kilometres of the capital city CBDs. Asti said affordable suburbs are defined as those below capital city median prices but still offer strong liveability, based on factors like low crime, access to infrastructure, and new housing supply. The report also considers rental yields, appealing to both owner-occupiers and investors. In Sydney, suburbs like Guildford and Punchbowl stand out, while Melbourne offers more affordable options in areas such as St Albans and Maribyrnong. While units remain more affordable than houses, Asti noted that the price gap has narrowed, signalling growth potential across both asset types. Did you like this episode?

***Guest AppearanceCredits to:https://www.youtube.com/@creativefinanceplaybook "Private Money Mastery: How Jay Conner Transformed Real Estate Investing"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9yBCTSMkZU If you're a real estate investor (or striving to become one), the challenge isn't always about finding the right property. More often, it's about finding the money to fund your deals, especially when traditional financing decides to turn off the tap, and that can happen faster than you think.On a recent podcast episode, seasoned investor Jay Conner sat down with Jenn and Joe Delle Fave to peel back the curtain on the game-changing role private money played in his real estate business—an approach that not only rescued his investing career but tripled his business during one of the most trying economic times in recent history.The Moment Everything ChangedJay Conner, along with his wife Carol Joy, had been successfully investing in single-family homes in Morehead City, North Carolina, since 2003. Like many, he relied on the steady comfort of a bank line of credit to fund his deals. That all changed in January 2009 at the height of the financial crisis. Without warning, his bank (and trusted banker, Steve) pulled the plug: his line of credit was closed, and new loans to real estate investors dried up overnight.Faced with two lucrative deals under contract and no way to close them, Jay's back was against the wall. But rather than seeing an insurmountable problem, he asked the transformative question: “Who do I know that can help me with this problem?” That question led him to an introduction to private money—and ultimately, to financial freedom.What Is Private Money Lending?Private money in real estate refers to funds lent by individuals (not institutions) to investors, typically secured by real estate. These individuals often don't even know they want to be lenders until someone shows them what's possible, like using their retirement accounts (self-directed IRAs) to earn outsized, secure returns.For Jay, learning about private money meant a total mindset shift. Instead of begging the bank, he became the one offering an opportunity. He began teaching people in his network—friends, church members, business contacts—about private lending. No hard selling, no desperate asks. Just education and a willingness to be transparent about how the process worked and the secure, solid returns they could earn.The Power of Private Money: How It Changed the GameWhen Jay started implementing private money strategies, the results were immediate and dramatic. He raised over $2 million in new funding in under 90 days. Within a year, his business had tripled, even as many other real estate investors were leaving the business entirely due to a lack of financing.Jay explained that private money brought several advantages:Flexibility: The investor sets the terms, not the bank. That includes interest rates, payment schedules, and what deals get funded.No Limits: Unlike bank lines of credit, private lenders are only limited by their comfort and resources, not an arbitrary ceiling.Speed: Jay has closed deals in as little as five days, a feat impossible with institutional lenders.Profitability: In his market, he achieved average profits of $82,000 per deal, doing only two to three deals a month, thanks largely to the reliability and ease of private funding.Teaching, Not SellingJay's secret sauce is in his approach: separate the teaching about private money from pitching a specific deal. He positions himself as a guide and trusted resource, only calling interested lenders when he has an actual investment for their funds. “Desperation has a s

After nearly a decade in real estate, I've seen a lot—the highs, the lows, and sadly, the agents who peace out before they ever hit their stride. And while everyone's journey is different, there are a few things I see over and over again that quietly sabotage success. So in this episode, I'm calling it out: the habits, mindsets, and sneaky traps that might be holding you back too. If you're serious about building a business that lasts, you're going to want to hit play. Let's grow smarter (and stick around longer), Bestie.
