The SMSF lending crackdown has changed the game. But with rates on hold and commercial lending gaining attention, investors have new finance strategies to consider. On The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil Tarrant is joined by Eva Loisance and Costa Arvanitopoulos from FinnI Mortgages to discuss how the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) decision to hold the cash rate and the end of self-managed super fund (SMSF) lending are reshaping investors' financial strategies. The trio examine the RBA's decision to hold the cash rate and the government's underestimated SMSF lending figures, exploring what both mean for mortgage holders, investors, developers and the broader property market. With residential SMSF borrowing now off the table, the trio explore the growing shift towards commercial property and lease-doc lending, where a property's rental income can help underpin the lending assessment. Tarrant, Loisance, and Arvanitopoulos also examine how these lending options could help investors with limited borrowing capacity but available equity, while weighing the risks before making a move.

Australia's property investment landscape has changed — and for many investors, commercial property is suddenly becoming a much bigger part of the conversation. In this webinar, Hotspotting founder Terry Ryder is joined by Steve Palise, Managing Director of Palise Property, to explore why commercial property may offer investors a compelling alternative in the new investment environment. Steve explains why commercial is increasingly shifting from an "exit strategy" for experienced residential investors to something investors are considering much earlier in their journey. They discuss: Why recent policy and lending changes have increased interest in commercial property The role commercial property can play within an SMSF strategy Commercial vs residential borrowing capacity Why commercial can potentially deliver significantly stronger cash flow Net yields and how tenant-paid outgoings work The importance of lease structure and tenant quality Industrial, retail, office, medical and other commercial property types Why Steve heavily favours industrial property Metropolitan vs regional commercial opportunities Capital growth potential in commercial property Vacancy risk and how experienced investors assess it The extensive due diligence required before buying Commercial property management and re-leasing costs How to match the type of commercial property you buy to your own risk profile, budget and investment goals Steve also shares examples from his own portfolio and experience across more than 2,000 property acquisitions, including how transitioning from residential into commercial helped him build a substantial passive income stream. One of the biggest messages from the session: commercial property can offer significant opportunities, but it is not an asset class where investors should generalise or chase yield blindly. Every property, tenant, lease and location needs to be assessed on its individual merits. Want to connect with Steve Palise?

With investor activity under pressure, changing lender policies are creating new questions for brokers, from how servicing is assessed to where investors can turn as the residential SMSF borrowing rules come to an end. Broker Daily's Julian Barnes is joined by Finni brokers Eva Loisance and Costa Arvanitopoulos to unpack whether developments in neutral gearing could push borrowing capacity and what the shift could mean for the investor market. The team also examines the end of residential SMSF borrowing and the rush to settle deals before the deadline, whether commercial lending can fill the gap, and the risks investors may face when moving into a different asset class. The latest RBA decision is also unpacked, alongside falling investor and first home buyer demand, softer housing activity, and AMP's fee changes as lenders compete for business in a changing market.
Property, politics, and policy collided this week as government funding, SMSF changes, housing affordability, and market narratives fuelled fresh debate. But behind the headlines, what do these shifts actually mean for buyers, sellers, and investors? On Property Buzz, Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman dive into the growing tension between politics, property, and public debate, exploring why housing remains one of Australia's most contested issues. The pair discuss how market forecasts can often depend on who is delivering them, with selling agents, buyer's agents, and commentators frequently presenting different versions of the same data. They also look at the impact of government policy on property, including the future of self-managed super fund (SMSF) investment, the shift towards commercial opportunities, and how changing rules could influence investor decisions. The duo then explores builder incentives, immigration and housing demand, negative equity, and whether current policy settings are addressing the challenges facing the market.

With ten years on the ground selling in Melbourne's south-east, Dimi cuts through the media headlines to explain what's really happening at inspections and auctions, why "wait for prices to drop further" is some of the worst advice a buyer can follow right now, and what the shift away from negative gearing and SMSF borrowing is doing to investor appetite. They also get into the emotional side of property that no spreadsheet can capture, and why timing your purchase around "readiness" beats timing it around the market.

The rules of property finance are changing. From SMSF reforms to new lending strategies, investors who understand where the market is heading could gain an edge. Forget interest rates. As self-managed super fund (SMSF), refinancing and commercial lending reshape investors' strategies, finance could become the biggest advantage in today's property market. On The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil Tarrant sits down with Eva Loisance, principal of Finni Mortgages, to discuss the biggest changes happening across Australia's lending market. The pair examine the latest on the government's proposed SMSF borrowing ban, why industry figures suggest the policy may be based on flawed data, and the impact the changes could have on investors, developers, and new housing supply. They also explore how investors are adapting to a softer market through refinancing, equity releases, and cash-out strategies, while revealing how some lenders are changing their servicing rules to help borrowers increase their capacity. The duo then looks at the growing appeal of commercial property lending, lease-doc loans, and why investors who have reached their residential borrowing limits are increasingly looking beyond traditional finance.

The property industry is facing a trust test, with questionable advice, buyer's agent practices, and rushed investment decisions putting buyers on alert. On Property Buzz, Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman unpack the biggest issues facing property investors right now, from misleading investment advice and buyer's agent concerns to the rush before major self-managed super fund (SMSF) changes take effect. The pair discuss the growing scrutiny around buyer's agents, questioning whether some business models have prioritised sales over investor outcomes. They also examine the latest developments from the Dashdot collapse, including concerns around upfront fees, investment advice, and the impact on customers left out of pocket. The duo explores why some investors are being drawn towards questionable opportunities, from expensive apartment purchases to promises of easy returns, and why due diligence remains critical in a shifting market. Tarrant and Garman then turn to the SMSF borrowing changes, the rush to secure deals before the deadline, and whether policy decisions are accurately reflecting the realities of the property market. The episode also looks at housing affordability, falling prices, and what a more cautious market means for investors trying to make their next move.

The biggest stories in real estate rarely end with the headline. From industry controversies and market shake-ups to the topics everyone is talking about behind closed doors, REB's new podcast Real Estate Exposed is here to cut through the noise. In the debut episode of Real Estate Exposed, Liam Garman and Emilie Lauer break down the major developments shaping the real estate industry, giving agents deeper context. The pair tackle the collapse of buyer's agency Dashdot and the controversial launch of its founders' new business venture, questioning what it means for trust, accountability, and the wider industry while hundreds of former clients remain out of pocket. The conversation also examines the rush of self-managed super fund (SMSF) buyers racing to beat the August deadline, what happens when that demand disappears, and why some agents are already preparing for a very different market. Along the way, the duo share the stories catching the industry's attention, reveal what they're hearing from agents across the country, and explain why Real Estate Exposed is set to become the go-to podcast for the conversations happening behind the headlines.
As investors scramble to beat the SMSF deadline, the biggest question is no longer what to buy before August – it's where the best opportunities will be once the market settles. On the How I Met My Broker podcast, hosts Hung Chuy and Liam Garman are joined by Property Strats founder Steve Ash to discuss the investment opportunities emerging after the federal budget changes and the looming self-managed super fund (SMSF) deadline. The trio discuss why Melbourne is back on investors' radar, pointing to discounted house prices, improving value and strong long-term fundamentals that could make the city one of Australia's most compelling markets over the coming years. The conversation also examines the SMSF frenzy ahead of the borrowing ban, with Chuy revealing demand has been so strong his brokerage has stopped taking on new SMSF clients, while Ash explains what investors should expect once the deadline passes. The trio then explore where investors could turn next, from commercial property and trusts to the potential emergence of a buyer's market, arguing that those with finance in place and a long-term strategy will be best positioned to capitalise on the next wave of opportunities.
Australia's property market is entering another period of uncertainty, with the SMSF borrowing deadline, interest rate speculation, and shifting buyer demand all set to test the market in the months ahead. On Property Buzz, Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman discuss the SMSF buying rush ahead of the 10 August deadline, what the market could look like once that demand fades, and where opportunities may emerge for prepared buyers. The pair also examine how tighter borrowing conditions are pushing investors towards higher-yielding properties, and why chasing cash flow alone could come at the expense of long-term performance. They also turn their attention to the latest trust account theft case, questioning why fraud continues to plague the industry and whether technology can finally remove one of real estate's biggest ongoing risks.

Too many property investors chase the next purchase without knowing how it fits into their long-term financial plan – and that's where expensive mistakes begin. On The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil Tarrant sits down with PRPTY360 founder Julian Fadini to discuss why successful investing starts with a strategy, not simply buying another property. Fadini explains why the best investment decisions come from understanding long-term financial goals first, revealing how financial planning, portfolio strategy, and careful asset selection work together to build lasting wealth. The discussion also explores where opportunities still exist in today's market, with Fadini outlining why areas with limited land supply, strong owner-occupier demand, and lifestyle appeal continue to outperform over the long term. The pair then examine today's changing investment landscape, from self-managed super fund (SMSF) reforms to shifting buyer behaviour, explaining why investors who stay focused on fundamentals – not market noise – are better placed to build stronger portfolios over time.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Một bước ngoặt pháp lý quan trọng vừa được thiết lập khi Chính phủ liên bang Úc bắt tay cùng Đảng Xanh, chính thức thông qua sửa đổi luật nhằm chấm dứt điều khoản miễn trừ từ năm 2011. Quy định mới này sẽ nghiêm cấm các quỹ hưu trí tự quản (SMSF) vay tiền để đầu tư vào bất động sản nhà ở trong tương lai. Nhằm tái lập sự cân bằng giữa các thế hệ và mở rộng cánh cửa sở hữu nhà cho người lao động, sắc lệnh này đánh dấu sự khép lại của cấu trúc tài chính LRBA vốn đầy phức tạp.
