Property investors are waiting for prices to fall, but hesitation could be creating the biggest missed opportunity in today's market. On The Smart Property Investment Show, Liam Garman is joined by Emilie Lauer and Julian Barnes to discuss the biggest stories shaping the market, including falling mortgage demand, shifting investor sentiment, and new opportunities for buyers. The trio explores why more investors are considering new builds following the federal tax changes, while warning that complex contracts and project delays can quickly turn a good deal into a costly mistake. They also discuss the rush into self-managed super funds (SMSF) ahead of the residential borrowing deadline, Westpac's latest lending changes, and why interest rate expectations remain divided. Finally, the episode examines why softer competition, increased vendor discounting, and a more balanced market could give prepared investors greater negotiating power than they've had in years.
Fear of missing out is back in Australia's property market. As thousands of investors rush to beat the SMSF deadline, the biggest risk isn't missing out – it's buying the wrong property in the process. On Property Buzz, Phil Tarrant is joined by Alex Whitlock to discuss the growing frenzy surrounding self-managed super funds (SMSF) and why investor urgency is creating new risks. The pair question whether the race to secure finance before the borrowing ban is pushing investors into poor-quality assets, warning against letting marketing hype or tight deadlines dictate long-term investment decisions. Attention then turns to the mortgage market, with borrowing capacities shrinking and investor activity slowing, raising fresh questions about what the next phase of lending could look like for brokers and borrowers alike. Finally, Tarrant and Whitlock explain why investors should look beyond buyer's agents alone, arguing that local property managers can often provide some of the strongest insights into rental demand, cash flow, and the long-term fundamentals of a market.
In this episode of Unpacking Money, Scott Malcolm and Ara Jansen unpack what the post-Budget 2026 SMSF and LRBA conversation may mean for Australians considering property inside super. We will slow down the headlines, explain why limited recourse borrowing arrangements require careful review, and explore the practical questions trustees should ask before establishing, refinancing, restructuring, or exiting an SMSF property strategy. From residential property restrictions and business real property considerations to liquidity, cashflow, compliance and retirement purpose, this episode is a calm reminder that big financial decisions should be strategy-led, documented, and supported by personalised specialist advice.

Thousands of investors are racing to beat the SMSF borrowing ban – but rushing into the wrong property could prove far more expensive than missing the deadline. On The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil Tarrant is joined by Eva Loisance and Costa Arvanitopoulos from Finni Mortgages to discuss the frantic rush into self-managed super fund (SMSF) property purchases, and why investors need to separate urgency from smart decision-making. The trio reveal how the looming borrowing ban has triggered a surge in demand, creating fierce competition, inflated asking prices, and growing pressure on brokers, lenders, and buyer's agents to settle deals before time runs out. The discussion also exposes the risks emerging in the market, from overpriced properties and questionable buyer's agent recommendations to valuations falling short and deals collapsing as investors scramble to secure finance. Tarrant, Loisance, and Arvanitopoulos explain how recent lending changes and the loss of negative gearing benefits are reshaping borrowing power, forcing investors to rethink their finance strategy, property selection, and long-term investment plans.

In this episode of Australian Property Podcast, Pete Wargent and Chris Bates analyse the deepening housing market downturn and what it means for buyers, sellers, investors and first-home buyers in 2026. The conversation covers the latest CoreLogic data showing capital city values down 1.3% in the June quarter, auction clearance rates slipping below 50%, and a drop in sales volumes. Pete shares his on-the-ground view that many prices are already 10-15% off peak levels but appear to have levelled off in recent weeks, with few genuine fire sales thanks to strong employment. Pete and Chris examine the Federal Budget's limited impact on home ownership rates, the SMSF lending ban wiping out potential gains from new housing initiatives, evaporating new home sales, and falling unit approvals. They discuss shifting sentiment in key markets — including Brisbane homeowners pulling sales and the forecast that Brisbane could soon overtake Sydney as the most expensive unit market — alongside inflation easing and banks revising 2026 price forecasts downward (with some predicting 5-10% national falls). Main stories include “Budget buyer's remorse” — why first-home buyer applications have slowed despite policy support — and a detailed look at what a further house price fall would actually mean for Australians. Drawing on 30 years of history analysed by ABC News Business, they highlight that past corrections have been relatively shallow (average -2.9%) while subsequent recoveries have been strong (+32% on average). They explore risks of negative equity for recent buyers, the chance of a larger correction, Sydney's role as the market canary, and why fundamentals (jobs, rates, yields) still matter more than headlines. The episode finishes with two practical listener questions: Chris shares the biggest structuring lessons from scaling Alcove and advising clients — particularly the one principle that separates successful long-term investors from those who get stuck or over-leveraged. And Pete offers advice on how regular buyers can realistically access off-market and pre-market deals without a buyer's agent. Along the way, Pete and Chris offer strategic advice for buyers and sellers in nervous conditions, discuss wealth transfer opportunities, refinancing dynamics, and the importance of thinking long-term when sentiment shifts fast. If you want a clear-eyed, data-driven weekly snapshot of Australia's housing market — from downturn realities and policy impacts to practical investing and buying tactics — this episode is essential listening right now.

Tax changes may have stolen the headlines, but Australia's property market is increasingly being shaped by immigration, housing supply, and political decisions that investors can't afford to ignore. On Property Buzz, Phil Tarrant is joined by Steve Kuper to connect the dots between politics, geopolitics, and property, revealing how government decisions, immigration policy, and global uncertainty are beginning to reshape Australia's housing market. The duo examines the rush of investors scrambling to buy residential property through self-managed super funds before the borrowing ban takes effect, questioning whether urgency is driving sound investment decisions or expensive mistakes. Attention then turns to Canberra, where the fallout from recent tax reforms continues to divide investors, raising fresh questions about housing affordability, fairness, and whether government policy is solving the problem or creating new ones. The discussion also explores Australia's immigration settings, revealing why a growing mismatch between skilled migration and construction labour is adding further pressure to an already constrained housing market. Finally, Tarrant and Kuper look beyond Australia's borders, discussing why geopolitical tensions are no longer just a foreign affairs issue and how global instability could increasingly influence property markets, investor confidence, and the nation's economic outlook.
Everyone's watching tax changes, interest rates, and policy backflips – but they're missing the one factor secretly deciding who wins big in property: Australia's housing supply gap, and it's only getting worse. On The Pure Property Podcast, Phil Tarrant joins Paul Glossop to discuss why the biggest challenge facing Australia's housing market isn't tax reform, interest rates, or investor sentiment, but a chronic shortage of homes that government policy still hasn't solved. The pair argue that while recent changes to negative gearing and self-managed super funds (SMSF) have dominated headlines, they do little to address the underlying supply crisis, with immigration continuing to outpace new housing construction. Attention then turns to the fallout from banning residential property borrowing through SMSFs, with Glossop warning the changes could remove a significant source of demand for new apartment developments and place even more pressure on future housing supply. The discussion also challenges the growing narrative that property is no longer a worthwhile investment, explaining why leverage, long-term strategy, and value-add opportunities continue to separate successful investors from everyone else. Finally, Glossop introduces his new Toolbox Talks initiative, explaining why educating tradies and everyday Australians about property investing could be one of the most effective ways to build wealth beyond a regular paycheck.

The federal budget has shaken up the lending landscape, but could the changes also push brokers to look beyond their traditional patch and find new opportunities? In the first episode of The Broker Show, mortgage broker and Its Simple Finance founder Joseph Daoud sits down with LoanOptions.ai founder Julian Fayad to unpack the fallout from the budget, where brokers could find their next phase of growth, and the opportunities emerging across asset finance, commercial, and SMSF lending. From finding the right partners and building new revenue streams to embracing technology and carving out a niche, the pair explore why diversifying does not have to mean doing everything yourself – and why now could be the time to start broking outside the box.

In this episode of Australian Retirement Podcast, James O'Reilly and Drew Meredith walk through the biggest financial-year changes retirees, pre-retirees and business owners should be thinking about right now. The conversation covers the flood of FY27 planning questions now landing on advisers' desks, from family trust rules and negative gearing changes to contribution caps, transfer balance caps and the practical reality of Div 296. James and Drew explain what is already changing, what is only proposed, and where people should be planning ahead rather than panicking. They unpack the implications of minimum tax proposals for discretionary trusts, the changing case for property, why payday super matters more than many people realise, and how asset location could become more important for people with larger balances inside and outside super. The episode also answers two practical listener questions: how reversionary pensions work inside an SMSF when Div 296 is in the mix, and whether long service leave is better taken as a lump sum, at full pay or at half pay when retirement is close. If you want a clear, grounded guide to the new financial year and the retirement planning decisions that may matter most over the next 12 months, this episode is a strong place to start.

In this episode of "The Money Mentor," Rachel sits down with Jeff and Denise, two healthcare professionals who, on paper, had done everything right - solid careers, no bad debt, and a cherished family home they'd built themselves. But after decades of hard work, they couldn't shake the feeling they weren't actually getting anywhere. They'd tried to chart their own course - selling an investment property just before it took off, setting up an SMSF with the wrong guidance, and absorbing endless books and podcasts that left them with more confusion than clarity. Then six years ago, Denise found Infinity, and Jeff, seeing the shift in her thinking, was quickly on board too. Denise likens their old approach to driving with an old paper map for directions, unsure if you're even headed the right way. With Infinity, she says, it's more like having a chauffeur - you simply say where you want to go, and they figure out how to get you there. The results speak for themselves: credit cards cleared, a proper budget in place, four investment properties, and a fully paid-off family home. They haven't stopped living either, travelling extensively with full confidence and zero guilt. Jeff and Denise share their story of success and how finding Infinity gave them access to expert advice and changed their family's forever.
A lot has landed in a short space of time, and Australian expats need to pay attention. In this episode, Atlas Wealth Group Managing Directors, James Ridley (APAC) and Jeremy Harper (Mortgages) cut through a week of major policy shifts and market moves. They cover what softer inflation means for RBA expectations, why a weaker AUD is quietly working in expats' favour right now, and what the closure of SMSF residential lending means if you're mid-purchase. They also dig into the less-discussed consequences of the incoming CGT changes, specifically how inheritance, divorce, and relationship breakdown are caught in the new rules in ways most people haven't considered yet. Rounded out with real listener Q&As, this is essential listening if you're investing, borrowing, or planning a move in the next 12–18 months.

With the clock ticking on residential SMSF lending, FOMO is taking hold, with Finni reporting record inquiry levels as borrowers scramble to beat the incoming ban. Join Broker Daily's Julian Barnes and Finni brokers Eva Loisance and Costa Arvanitopoulos as they unpack the last-minute SMSF rush, the risks facing borrowers starting from scratch, and why a single delay could now derail an entire transaction. The trio also explores how post-budget uncertainty is reshaping investor strategies, why owner-occupier suburbs are outperforming investor-heavy areas, and whether the expanded Help to Buy scheme is opening the door to home ownership or creating a new set of risks.
Thousands of property investors just lost one of their most powerful wealth-building strategies. But with the clock already ticking, those who move quickly may still be able to get the SMSF options. On The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil Tarrant sits down with Eva Loisance from Finni Mortgages to discuss the government's decision to ban borrowing through self-managed super funds (SMSFs) for residential property and what it means for investors. The pair explain why the reforms have sent shockwaves through the industry, triggering a race to secure existing SMSF lending before the transition window closes and leaving many investors scrambling to understand what happens next. The discussion reveals why the changes could stretch far beyond individual investors, with the potential to reduce rental supply, slow off-the-plan developments, and reshape how future property projects are funded. Attention then turns to the strategies still available, including commercial property, refinancing, and alternative ownership structures, while warning investors to steer clear of rushed solutions and so-called loopholes that could create costly problems down the track.

Residential SMSF lending may be on the way out, but could the government's crackdown open the door to a new commercial property opportunity? Join Liam Garman and Accendo Financial founder Trent Carter as they unpack what the LRBA changes could mean for business owners, including the potential to buy commercial premises through an SMSF and redirect rent that may otherwise be paid to a landlord into building a retirement asset. From understanding SMSF structures and lender requirements to knowing where a broker's role ends, and specialist advice begins, the pair explore what brokers need to know before stepping into a complex but potentially growing area of commercial finance.

In this episode of Australian Property Podcast, Pete Wargent and Chris Bates break down the latest property-market shake-up and what it means for buyers, investors and borrowers. The conversation centres on the Federal Budget fallout, the ban on SMSF lending into property, weaker auction conditions and the way sentiment has turned across key housing markets. Pete and Chris unpack why Sydney and Melbourne were already softening before the policy changes, how investor demand is fading in the established market, and why rental yields and mortgage rates still matter more than headlines. They also explain where they are still seeing activity, from first-home buyers and upgraders to smaller renovation projects, while caution remains high around leveraged property investing. The episode finishes with two practical listener questions: whether to sell a negatively geared investment property when cash flow is tight, and when property can still make sense versus shares in 2026. Along the way, Pete and Chris explore refinancing dynamics, the role of super, the trade-offs between liquidity and leverage, and how to think about risk when conditions are changing fast. If you want a grounded weekly read on the Australian housing market, mortgage trends and investing decisions, this episode is a useful snapshot of where the market stands right now.

Before you buy your next investment property, ask yourself one question: Can I safely hold it? In Part 2 of the Examination stage finale of Bushy Martin’s Property W.E.A.L.T.H. Clock, Bushy completes the B.E.A.R. Facts by tackling the two factors that ultimately determine whether an investment becomes a wealth builder—or a financial burden: Affordability and Risk. Many investors spend their time chasing hotspots, borrowing limits and tax advantages, yet overlook the simple reality that getting into property is only the wedding photo—holding it is the marriage. Against the backdrop of Australia’s new post-Budget property tax changes, Bushy explains why sustainable investing has become more important than ever. Rather than reacting to headlines about negative gearing, capital gains tax or SMSF borrowing restrictions, successful investors focus on building strategies that can withstand interest rate rises, unexpected expenses, policy changes and life’s inevitable surprises. This episode also brings together the complete Property Purchase Price Power framework, helping listeners understand why buying power isn’t simply what the bank will lend, but what you can comfortably fund, protect and hold over the long term. Bushy also unpacks four of the biggest traps that quietly derail investors, and explains why today’s changing investment landscape doesn’t eliminate opportunity—it simply demands smarter planning, stronger buffers and better decision-making. In this episode you’ll discover: Why holding a property matters far more than simply buying one The difference between bank affordability and lifestyle affordability Why Affordability and Risk complete the B.E.A.R. Facts How to calculate your true Property Purchase Price Power The four investor traps that quietly undermine long-term wealth Why today’s tax and policy changes require better planning—not panic How to think about buffers, cash flow and sustainable portfolio growth Why successful investors manage risk instead of trying to eliminate it How the Property W.E.A.L.T.H. Clock provides a proven roadmap for building lasting wealth With the Examination stage now complete, Bushy is ready to move into the next stage of the Property W.E.A.L.T.H. Clock: Approach—where strategy begins to turn into action. If you’re serious about building wealth through property, this episode will help you stop asking what you can buy, and start focusing on what you can successfully hold for the long term.

The numbers don't lie: The ASX did 3 per cent over the 12 months to June, and the S&P 500 did 20 per cent. Unless - like a big super fund - you had half your portfolio invested offshore, the chances are you underperformed in FY2026. Marc Jocum, investment strategist at GlobalX ETFs, joins Associate Editor, James Kirby in this episode.

The federal budget keeps changing, and this time it's SMSFs and trusts feeling the impact. Tash and Ana break down two surprise updates: a ban on SMSFs borrowing to buy residential property, and a new minimum tax on discretionary trusts that had the estate planning world in a spin.In this episode we'll discuss:

Self-managed super funds have been out of favour for a while. With low-cost industry funds, better online platforms and more compliance to deal with, plenty of Australians decided SMSFs were not worth the effort. So why is everyone talking about them again? In this episode, Paul looks at why recent tax changes could make superannuation even more important in Australia's wealth-building landscape, and why that has some people taking a fresh look at self-managed super. Not because SMSFs are suddenly right for everyone, but because when the rules around other wealth-building structures change, the way you hold and manage your retirement savings starts to matter more. In this episode: Why SMSFs are back on the radar What the tax changes could mean for wealth builders Why super may matter more than ever When control over your super starts to become more appealing The hidden trade-off that comes with running your own fund Why an SMSF is not the right move for everyone What to think about before deciding your current setup is no longer enough If you've dismissed self-managed super in the past, this episode gives you a reaason to revisit the question.

Sweeping changes to Capital Gains Tax, Negative Gearing and Self-Managed Super Funds are confronting investors. How will they affect you? Stuart Wemyss from the ProSolution Private Clients group joins associate editor, James Kirby on this episode of the Money Puzzle podcast.

Australia's buyer's agent sector is under pressure. But while many see uncertainty, forward-thinking property managers have a rare opportunity to become the trusted advisers investors are searching for. In this episode of The Property Management Excellence (PMX) Podcast, REB's Alex Whitlock and Liam Garman unpack the buyer's agent sector under mounting pressure. They explore how ongoing policy shifts and industry instability are widening the property advice gap, and why property managers are uniquely positioned to step into that space. The pair discuss how the collapse of Dashdot exposed deeper issues within the largely unregulated buyer's agent industry, raising questions around business models and the long-term sustainability of the sector. Whitlock argues that investors are now looking for trusted professionals who understand the full investment journey, creating an opportunity for property managers to evolve from rent collectors into strategic advisers who help clients navigate an increasingly complex market. They also examine how changes to negative gearing, capital gains tax, and SMSF property investment are reshaping investor behaviour, and why agencies that align their sales and property management teams will be best placed to build stronger client relationships and capture the next wave of investment business.
Everyone says Australia's property market is cooling. The problem? The headlines are telling only half the story, and investors buying into the panic could be looking in all the wrong places. On Property Buzz, Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman rip into the biggest myths driving Australia's property market, arguing that the country's housing story is becoming more divided than ever, with winners and losers emerging simultaneously. The duo reveals why Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth continue to push ahead while Sydney and Melbourne slow, exposing how relying on national headlines could lead investors to make costly decisions. Attention then turns to the federal government's latest property reforms, with Tarrant warning they could backfire spectacularly by squeezing housing supply, making development harder and creating the very affordability problems they were meant to solve. The episode finishes with one of the industry's biggest controversies, as Tarrant and Garman question whether some high-volume buyer agencies are manufacturing competition, inflating demand and putting business growth ahead of their clients.
A surprise political deal has blindsided the mortgage industry this week, threatening to wipe out large chunks of broker pipelines overnight.

This week, they discuss: The sudden government deal to ban residential property lending within SMSFs, and what the industry thinks about it. ASIC's car lending review exposes concerns about consumer harm. Why auction clearance rates are crashing. And much more!

Investors thought negative gearing was the big threat, but a new crackdown on SMSF borrowing could be the change that really blindsides Australians. On The Smart Property Investment Show, Liam Garman sits down with Emilie Lauer to break down a major week for property investors, from the proposed self-managed super fund (SMSF) borrowing ban to rising inflation, interest rate pressure, and fresh warnings of a divided housing market. The duo explores why the SMSF decision has sparked backlash, with critics arguing it targets everyday Australians trying to build wealth and take control of their retirement, while doing little to solve housing affordability. Attention then turns to inflation and interest rates, as renewed price pressure raises questions about borrowing capacity, refinancing options, and investor confidence. The duo also examine Domain's latest FY2027 forecast, which tips price falls for Sydney and Melbourne while Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth continue to show resilience. Despite the uncertainty, the pair argue that opportunities remain for investors who stay disciplined, look closely at affordability-driven markets, and do their due diligence before making their next move.

Australian property investors have been warned to brace for a market crash, but the numbers tell a very different story. Since the Federal Budget, investors have been bombarded with warnings about higher taxes, reduced incentives, slowing growth and the supposed end of Australia’s property boom. But when you strip away the fear, the politics and the clickbait, does the evidence actually support the doom-and-gloom narrative? In this special Get Invested solo episode, Bushy Martin cuts through the crash talk, Budget tax fog and market noise to show why quality residential property still deserves its place as one of Australia’s most powerful long-term wealth-building engines. Drawing together the key lessons from his recent post-Budget Property PhD Trilogy, Bushy explores why a short-term confidence correction is not the same thing as a long-term market collapse. He unpacks the extraordinary post-COVID growth surge, why a return to more sustainable growth rates was always inevitable, and the powerful fundamentals that continue to support quality residential property over the long term. Bushy also challenges one of the biggest misconceptions in investing: that the asset with the lowest tax rate automatically produces the best financial outcome. Through his practical Net Nest Egg Ladder, he compares owner-occupied housing, ETFs, shares, commercial property, SMSF property, grandfathered residential property, future established residential property and qualifying new builds to reveal what ultimately matters most — the amount of usable wealth and financial freedom you create at the end of the journey. Along the way, you’ll learn why scarcity remains one of property’s greatest strengths, how household formation continues to drive demand, why holding costs matter less than most investors think, and why the next phase of the market may favour calm, prepared and strategic investors rather than FOMO-driven crowds. If you’ve been wondering whether property still deserves a place in your wealth-building plan, this episode will help you separate the headlines from reality and refocus on the fundamentals that have created wealth for generations of Australians. In this episode you’ll discover: • Why the current property “crash” narrative doesn’t match the underlying fundamentals.• What the post-COVID property boom taught us about sustainable long-term growth.• The critical difference between a confidence correction and a market collapse.• Why Australia’s housing shortage remains a powerful long-term driver.• How an additional $150-$200 per week can protect and accelerate wealth creation.• The role of your investment war chest in navigating uncertain markets.• Why the lowest tax rate doesn’t always create the biggest net nest egg.• How residential property compares against ETFs, shares, commercial property and SMSF investing.• Why “property investing isn’t dead — lazy investing is.”• The practical actions investors should be taking right now.

The Elephant In The Room Property Podcast | Inside Australian Real Estate
Within 72 hours of the federal budget announcement, the property narrative flipped. Buyer's agents who once championed established homes began pushing new builds.SMSF strategies resurfaced. High-yield “manufactured” deals came back into focus. The question is—did the fundamentals change… or just the incentives?In this episode, we break down what's really driving this sudden shift in property advice. From the two-speed market created by negative gearing changes to the re-emergence of developer-led stock, we unpack how quickly “strategy” can become sales when business models are under pressure. More importantly, we challenge whether investors are being guided toward better outcomes—or simply redirected toward whatever still pays.We also dig into the hidden risks behind today's most heavily marketed plays: new builds with impaired resale markets, SMSF property strategies being pushed without proper advice, and high-yield assets that sacrifice long-term growth for short-term numbers. These aren't new ideas—they're recycled playbooks dressed up for a new policy environment.If you're feeling the pressure to act post-budget, this episode is your reset. Because when incentives change, behaviour follows—but that doesn't mean you should. The smartest move right now? Understand what's really driving the advice before you follow it.Episode Highlights02:05 – The Two-Speed Market Explained04:04 – When Buyer's Agents Follow the Money09:29 – The Resale Trap No One's Talking About12:16 – Does Negative Gearing Actually Work?18:44 – The Rise of Dangerous Tax Advice Online21:37 – The Hidden Risk of One-Stop Property Shops23:18 – SMSF Property: Lessons from Past Disasters24:45 – The Mortgage Prisoner Risk Explained27:42 – The Comeback of “Manufactured Yield”31:50 – When Investor Demand Becomes a Trap34:16 – The Push Into Commercial & Regional Plays36:50 – Who Really Wins This “Fairness” Budget?41:35 – First Home Buyer Schemes: Hidden Downsides44:25 – The Upgrade Loophole Most Buyers Miss46:13 – What Smart Investors Do NextAbout the HostVeronica Morgan is one of Australia's most respected property experts, with decades of experience across property investment, buyer advocacy, and market analysis.
