Zain Johnson speaks to independent economist John Loos about whether South Africa is witnessing a genuine reverse semigration trend. While the Western Cape's rising property prices may be slowing the pace of inward migration, Loos explains why affordable housing alone won't shift migration patterns, and why Gauteng will need stronger economic growth, improved service delivery and better quality of life to regain its appeal.

The proposed budget changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax have Australian residential property investors rethinking everything, and most are reacting to the noise instead of the facts. In this episode of Inside Residential Property, host Liam Garman sits down with Pat Casey, Rethink Wealth director and financial planner, to cut through the panic and unpack what the proposed changes actually mean for everyday Australians at every stage of the journey, from saving a first deposit to scaling an established portfolio. With over 20 years of experience, Casey has guided clients through market cycles and policy announcements, and his expertise spans structure, lending, investing, super, and strategy. He explains why the old approach of buying a negatively geared property purely for capital growth is under pressure, why rental yield has moved from an afterthought to the starting point, and why owner-occupier appeal remains the single biggest predictor of long-term growth, whatever the rules become. This isn't a panicked post-budget reaction. It's a calm, practical guide to thinking clearly about residential property while everyone else jumps at shadows. In this episode, we cover: Why the playbook that built property wealth for decades is being challenged. Why rental yield now matters more than chasing capital growth. How to spot a property that only investors want, and why that should worry you. What the proposed changes mean for first home buyers and rentvestors. Why owner-occupier appeal is the single biggest predictor of capital growth. How experienced investors read today's uncertainty as opportunity.

Most investors understand how to add value to a house. Buy well, renovate, improve the presentation and hope the market rewards you.Commercial property works differently.In this episode, Tom explains how commercial property is really valued, why income drives price, and how smart investors create uplift by improving rent, lease quality, tenant demand, usability and future optionality.You'll learn why high yield is not always a bargain, why a strong lease can be worth more than a cosmetic renovation, and how business owners can use commercial property as a powerful second engine for wealth creation.If you are a residential investor thinking about commercial, a business owner paying rent to someone else, or a wealth builder looking for stronger income and more control, this episode will help you understand the commercial property game before you make an expensive mistake.Key takeawaysWhy commercial property is valued more like a business than a residential home.How a small increase in net income can create a significant uplift in property value.Why yield is not free money — and what a high yield may really be telling you.The difference between improving the look of a property and improving the economics of the asset.How leases, tenant quality, vacancy risk and uncertainty affect commercial property value.Take Action Today:If you are serious about building wealth through property, but not yet fully clear on your next move, book a complimentary clarity call with our team via the link below.In one conversation, we can help you get clearer on your position, your options, and the path forward — because clarity creates confidence, and confidence helps people act.Book a complimentary clarity call⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with host of The Australian Property Show - Tom HaighWe'll help analyse your current position, identify your biggest untapped opportunities, and get you moving towards the life you want.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠General Advice Warning! The information (including taxation) contained in this podcast is general in nature and does not consider your individual financial circumstances or needs.

The rules of Australian residential property have changed, and most investors haven't caught up. On Inside Residential Property, host Liam Garman is joined by Rethink Group CEO Scott O'Neill and guest Nick to unpack why the strategies that built Australian residential property wealth no longer work in the post-budget market, and what's replacing them. Scott explains the shifts reshaping the market: why the rise of dual-income households drove 40 years of property growth that can't be repeated, why new tax rules mean residential investors now need to hold property for the long term rather than trade in and out, and why yield now matters more than capital growth. Nick brings the investor perspective. After more than a decade of building his own property portfolio, he shares the lessons he learned the hard way, what he would do differently, and the difference between owning property and actually investing in it. This isn't just a market forecast or a post-budget reaction. It's a conversation about how Australians should be thinking about residential property right now. In this episode: Why the growth Australia saw in residential property over the last 40 years won't happen again. Why yield now matters more than chasing capital growth. Why long-term holding has become the only strategy that works. What separates a property investor from someone who just owns property. Red flags to watch for when working with a buyer's agent in today's market. Where the real opportunities are emerging over the next 12 to 24 months.

In this podcast we discuss the decision by the major retailer John Lewis to withdraw from developing thousands of residential properties. Meanwhile, as thousands of small private lands quit the buy-to-let property, private equity firms and hedge funds continue to invest billions of pounds into the housing market. Watch full video: https://youtu.be/m5Aoqr4hquU New Tax Rise For Landlords In another blow long suffering UK landlords, Chancellor Rachel Reeves has announced a new higher rate of tax surcharge on rental income profits in her budget, which will see the tax burden rise to record levels. Buy-to-let landlords will pay a tax rate two percentage points higher than the basic and higher rates of tax from April 2027. Frozen threshold bands until 2030 means most of us will pay more tax due to ‘fiscal drag'. This is in addition to the hike in the stamp duty surcharge on second property purchases to 5%, which is having a detrimental effect on property development and flipping.

With interest rates rising, media headlines turning negative, and economic uncertainty dominating the conversation, many investors are questioning whether now is the right time to act. But as this podcast episode explores, volatility doesn't remove opportunity; it reshapes it. On Inside Residential Property, host Liam Garman is joined by Sarah Megginson, property and finance expert, and Maya Thomas, acquisitions specialist at Rethink Residential, to unpack what's really happening in today's property market and how investors should be navigating it. Drawing on over two decades of experience, Sarah shares practical insights into managing risk, building resilience, and maintaining a long-term investment strategy, even in unpredictable conditions. From navigating rate rises to understanding serviceability limits, this episode cuts through the noise to focus on what actually matters. In this episode, we cover: Why rising interest rates shouldn't derail long-term investment plans. How to manage risk, buffers, and serviceability in a changing lending environment. What's really happening across key markets, and where opportunity is emerging. The truth about timing the market (and why waiting often costs more than acting). Potential changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax, and what they could mean for investors. Why financial literacy and having the right team are critical to long-term success.

They show a slight fall in the pace of increase in the cost of buying a home. However, property prices still rose year on year, in Dublin by 5.6% while prices outside Dublin were up by 7.8% compared with February 2025. For the details Economics and Public Affairs Editor, David Murphy.

In this episode of Inside Residential Property, host Liam Garman is joined by Son Pham, managing director of Rethink Financing, and Prue, an investor, to explore when and how investors should transition from residential to commercial property. With residential yields compressing and lending policies tightening, many investors are hitting serviceability limits and reassessing their strategy. Looking at Prue's investment portfolio, her experience shows how shifting from growth-focused residential assets to cash-flowing commercial property can unlock greater income, flexibility, and long-term financial security. Son shares practical insights into navigating today's lending environment, including the role of non-bank lenders, structuring considerations, and how to assess whether it's the right time to pivot. The episode also explores the structural and strategic differences between residential and commercial investing, including: Why residential property alone may not deliver the cash flow needed to reduce reliance on active income. How to assess whether it's the right time to transition based on serviceability, equity, and long-term goals. The key financial considerations when selling residential assets, including tax, costs, and capital redeployment. How commercial property income can support lifestyle flexibility and retirement planning. The role of lending strategy, including non-bank lenders and self-managed super fund (SMSF) structures, in scaling a portfolio. Listen now if you are looking to move beyond residential properties, build stronger cash flow, and create a more sustainable portfolio aligned to your long-term goals.

Most banks have exited SMSF lending entirely. Here are the 7 specialist lenders still writing SMSF property loans, ranked by brokers who use them daily.

In this episode of Inside Residential Property, host Liam Garman is joined by James Thompson, senior buyer's agent at Rethink Residential, and Grant, an investor who followed a structured pathway from residential growth assets into commercial property, to unpack the fundamentals of portfolio architecture – and why strategy matters more than arbitrary targets like "10 properties" or "$200,000 passive income". Using Grant's real investment journey as a case study, the episode explores how investors can build a scalable portfolio by sequencing the right assets at the right time, balancing capital growth and cash flow, and making decisions based on equity, serviceability, and life circumstances – not hype or rigid plans. Grant shares how he didn't initially set out to become an investor, but after being priced out of the Sydney home he wanted, he pivoted into residential investing with a clear long-term view. He explains how early purchases in Queensland, including a duplex and diversified residential holdings, helped him build an equity base quickly, and how a rentvesting approach allowed him to keep lifestyle flexibility while letting the portfolio do the heavy lifting. The conversation then turns to the reality of scaling: how serviceability ceilings can start dictating what's possible, why investors often hit an equity or borrowing wall, and why transitioning into commercial property can be a strategic next step for those seeking higher monthly income. James and Liam also unpack the bigger strategic lesson behind Grant's journey: markets shift, life changes, and portfolios need to evolve accordingly. They discuss why successful investors pivot rather than force purchases, how to think about exit strategies, and why the best portfolios quietly support lifestyle – without requiring constant transactions or unnecessary risk. What you'll learn in this episode: Why portfolio architecture matters, and how arbitrary property goals can lead to poor decisions. How to sequence residential investments for growth before transitioning to cash flow. The difference between buying for capital growth versus buying for yield (and when each matters). How rentvesting can create flexibility while still building long-term wealth. Why serviceability and borrowing capacity often become the biggest scaling constraint. How and when moving into commercial property can improve portfolio stability and income. What a practical exit strategy looks like, and how to redeploy equity intelligently. Why the best investors pivot their plan instead of forcing the next purchase. This episode is essential listening for residential property investors who want a clearer strategy for building a portfolio that can scale, adapt and ultimately support passive income – offering a practical, experience-led perspective on sequencing, serviceability, pivot points and long-term decision-making.

In this episode of Inside Residential Property, host Liam Garman is joined by Patrick Casey, managing director of Rethink Wealth, and Andrew, a young and active investor, to unpack a practical financial playbook for Australians in their 20s to 40s looking to build wealth through residential property. Using Andrew's real investment journey as a case study, the episode explores how early action, smart asset selection, and strategic use of debt can accelerate portfolio growth, while also highlighting the financial trade-offs that often emerge as investors juggle serviceability, borrowing capacity, lifestyle goals, and tax considerations. Andrew shares how he entered the market in 2018, starting with a modest Queensland unit and later using equity and timing to progress through off-the-plan and renovation-led moves. The conversation then turns to one of the most common forks in the road for younger investors: principal place of residence versus rentvesting. Patrick and Liam unpack how each path can influence borrowing capacity and long-term flexibility, and why personal circumstances, including relationships, future family plans and lifestyle needs, should be considered alongside spreadsheet outcomes. The episode also tackles the longer-term question of when to shift from capital growth to cash flow, outlining the risks of transitioning too early (and sacrificing asset quality) or too late (and being asset-rich but cash-flow poor). Patrick shares a clear framework for thinking in "windows of opportunity" across life stages, and why building a team and having a plan matters more than chasing the next hotspot. What you'll learn in this episode: How investors in their 20s to 40s can build a strategy that supports long-term wealth creation. Why "action over perfection" often matters in the early accumulation phase. How serviceability and borrowing capacity shape what's possible – and when it can happen. The key differences between rentvesting versus owning your home (and how to decide). How capital gains tax (CGT) rules and transaction costs should influence buy, hold, or sell decisions. When it makes sense to transition from capital growth to cash flow – and the risks either way. Why property flipping and "hotspot hopping" can quietly destroy long-term returns. How to avoid analysis paralysis and focus on sustainable, high-quality asset decisions. This episode is essential listening for younger residential property investors who want clarity on the financial strategy behind portfolio growth – offering a practical, experience-led perspective on serviceability, tax, life-stage planning and how to keep making smart moves without getting stuck.

In this episode of Inside Residential Property, host Liam Garman is joined by Rethink Residential senior buyer's agent James Thompson and investor Daniel to break down the realities of the buy-and-renovate property strategy – including when it works, when it doesn't, and why many investors underestimate the risks involved. Using Daniel's real investment journey as a case study, the episode explores how manufacturing equity through renovations and granny flats can accelerate portfolio growth – but also why rising construction costs, time commitments, cash flow pressure, and life-stage changes often force investors to reassess their strategy. Daniel shares how he began investing at a young age, purchasing uninhabitable properties, completing hands-on renovations, and adding significant equity through disciplined budgeting, suburb research and targeted upgrades. The conversation details how equity releases were used to fund granny flat construction and further property acquisitions, before examining how consecutive interest rate rises reshaped cash flow and borrowing capacity. The episode also addresses common investor mistakes, including overcapitalising on renovations, misunderstanding opportunity cost, and following rigid property plans that fail to adapt to changing markets and personal circumstances. What you'll learn in this episode: When a buy-and-renovate property strategy makes sense – and when it doesn't. How to assess renovation opportunities using comparable sales and buyer demand. Why time, labour, and opportunity cost matter as much as renovation budgets. How equity releases and granny flats can support portfolio growth. The impact of interest rate rises on renovation-heavy investment strategies. When selling property can accelerate progress rather than stall it. Why property strategies must evolve with life stages and market conditions. The risks behind house and land packages and commission-driven advice. This episode is essential listening for residential property investors considering renovation or value-add strategies, offering a practical, experience-led perspective on how to build equity responsibly, manage risk, and keep portfolios moving forward without getting stuck in outdated plans.

What do Perth’s high-density planning changes mean for property owners? Today, we talked about how the WA Planning Commission is set to take control of zoning, potentially creating 35,000 new homes around 10 major train stations. Landowners in these areas could see significant land value uplifts, but how will increased density impact property appeal? With more apartment developments and rental demand near transit hubs, will this drive rental yields or cap capital growth in the long term?

In this episode of Inside Residential Property, host Liam Garman sits down with Rethink Financing Director and award-winning mortgage strategist Son Pham to unpack one of the biggest blockers in today's investing landscape – the belief that serviceability is capped. Together, they reveal why many investors feel "tapped out" and why, from a broker's perspective, there is almost always more borrowing power available when you know how to navigate lender policy. They're joined by investor Danny, who walks listeners through his decade-long portfolio journey, starting with an off-the-plan townhouse in Glenmore Park before expanding into high-performing regional and interstate markets. Danny shares the wins, mistakes, and philosophy that shaped his strategy – from audit-proofing his team with an accountant and broker, to reframing debt as leverage and prioritising long-term freedom over short-term comfort. Son breaks down Danny's lending position live on air, exploring how banks actually calculate serviceability, why "the buffer" traps so many investors, and how non-bank lenders, trust structures and policy nuances can dramatically change borrowing outcomes. The trio dissect valuation strategy, equity releases, credit file traps, and when investors should consider selling to accelerate their next move – all with the goal of reducing time spent on the sidelines and keeping the portfolio compounding. Listeners will gain insights into: How lenders really assess income, rental shading, and buffers, and why policy is more powerful than interest rates. Why serviceability "walls" are often illusions, and the specific lender types that can shift borrowing power. When (and when not) to use trust structures for residential portfolios. How to think about selling – identifying assets that have "done their job" vs. those with more growth runway. The mindset shift needed to scale: debt as leverage, action over perfection, and buying well even at higher rates. This episode offers an unfiltered, highly practical breakdown of what it really takes to keep growing when the banks say no – empowering investors to unlock smarter pathways, accelerate their next move, and avoid spending years stuck at a standstill.

In this episode of Inside Residential Property, host Liam Garman and Rethink Residential's James Thompson unpack the real story of 26-year-old engineer Charlie, who turned a $25,000 deposit and a spreadsheet into a property portfolio now worth over $2 million. Charlie shares how he bought his first investment property in Wagga Wagga at just 21, before rapidly expanding into the Central Coast and Hunter Valley. Working multiple jobs through university, Charlie saved aggressively, researched regional markets, and identified cash-flow-positive opportunities that set the foundation for long-term wealth. James dissects Charlie's three-property playbook, highlighting the balance between capital growth and yield, the role of strategic refinancing, and how investors can replicate this success even in today's tighter lending climate. Together, they discuss when to hold and when to sell, as well as the pitfalls of being equity-rich but cash-poor. Listeners will gain insight into: Choosing the right regional markets and avoiding one-industry towns Financing and structuring portfolios for sustainable growth Balancing capital growth and cash flow in early investments Navigating lending caps and how to keep building when the banks say no Why goal setting matters, and how to move from accumulation to freedom This episode offers an unfiltered look into the challenges and triumphs of starting young in the residential property game.

It's thought there are fundamental issues with the new methamphetamine contamination laws. Properties with meth residue exceeding 15 micrograms per 100-square centimetres will be considered contaminated and require treatment. Landlords and tenants will be able to quickly end tenancies with excessive levels. Residential Property Managers Association Chair Tony Mitchell told Mike Hosking it's great to have clarity, but it's out of step with the rest of the world. He says we shouldn't be accepting any meth in properties, and we now don't have the ability to enforce a zero-tolerance policy. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of (Re)thinking Insurance, Chris Zanoni is joined by Klayton Southwood and Travis Miller to explore the Florida property insurance market. The state faces significant challenges due to hurricanes, litigation and assignment of benefits. Historically, the market was disrupted by major hurricanes like Andrew in 1992 and Irma in 2017. As a result, Florida saw increasing losses, litigation and insolvencies among carriers. In response, the Florida legislature implemented reforms in 2022 to stabilize the market and improve the availability and affordability of property insurance.

In this detailed discussion from Morning Minutes, Michael Burgio and Josh Wapshott delve into the core differences between residential and commercial property investments. They explain that commercial properties typically offer higher rental yields and longer lease terms—sometimes up to 10–15 years—compared to residential leases, which are usually 6–12 months. This makes commercial assets attractive to investors focused on cash flow, especially in later stages of their investment journey. On the other hand, residential properties tend to experience stronger and more consistent capital growth, often doubling in value every 10 years, and are considered lower-risk and easier to manage—especially for first-time buyers.The conversation also covers the financial and operational distinctions between the two asset classes. Commercial loans generally require higher deposits (often 30% or more), carry slightly higher interest rates, and come with greater vacancy risks, requiring investors to plan for extended periods without rental income. However, commercial tenants often invest in fit-outs, adding value to the property. The hosts highlight a recent uptick in commercial activity, including strong sales and leasing in areas like Brookvale, driven by shifting investor sentiment and high residential land taxes. They close with cautious optimism about the market, noting positive signs such as potential interest rate cuts and increased buyer confidence heading into the spring selling season.

Researchers at the International Energy Research Centre (IERC) based at Tyndall National Institute (a research flagship of University College Cork), are piloting a state-of-the-art prototype high-capacity thermal energy storage system as part of the, EU Horizon Europe funded, MiniStor project. This project is in collaboration with Cork City Council and 11 other partners from across the continent. It aims to reduce, or potentially remove, the need for solid fuel, oil or gas-based heating systems in homes by capturing heat from the sun and storing it in an innovative, compact heat store that's suitable for family homes, helping reduce heating bills. The MiniStor system is currently being tested at a residential site in Cork City, where it will operate for 6 months to assess its performance in an Irish climate. This demonstration is one part of four European locations- Ireland, Spain, Greece, and Hungary- ensuring adaptability across diverse climatic conditions and paving the way for broader market adoption. The core of the MiniStor (Minimal Size Thermal and Electrical Energy Storage System for In-Situ Residential Installation) project is a novel approach to energy storage, offering a sustainable solution to store and manage heat and electricity from renewable sources such as solar energy. With a storage capacity 10 times greater than that of water, the system has the potential to provide a practical, compact solution to storing large amounts of heat. The system collects thermal and electrical energy from the sun through solar collectors, storing it by heating up salt compounds that create a thermochemical reaction. This heat is then released as needed through a hot water circuit and heat pump for use both in heating and in domestic hot water. Integrating cutting-edge storage technology with renewable energy, the project provides a scalable, sustainable model for European households aiming to reduce carbon footprints and energy costs, reducing the cost and complexity of retrofitting existing homes and accelerating the decarbonisation of Irish and European building stock. Dr Carlos Ochoa, Senior Researcher, IERC at Tyndall, said: "The MiniStor device has the potential to provide homes in Ireland and Europe with another option, in addition to building fabric improvement, heat pumps and domestic solar panels, to achieve a future with clean and affordable energy for all." This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 869821

Landlords offering incentives to entice tenants is said to be a simple supply and demand issue. Rental listings in Auckland and Wellington have seen investors offer free weeks of rent, or bonuses like supermarket vouchers and even free moped scooters for people who sign on to a lease. Residential Property Managers' Association Chair Tony Mitchell told Mike Hosking investors are fighting for tenants due to a lack of demand. He expects it to be only a temporary thing and hopes the strong underlying demand factors will make a difference soon. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
