Total filings held steady across the state with just a slight 12-filing increase from August, bringing the total to 4,227 foreclosure filings across Texas for September's Super Tuesday auction. Behind those high-level numbers lie key regional shifts, county-by-county spikes, and emerging inventory trends that note investors, private lenders, and distressed property buyers need to know.

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.

The Republican-dominated Tarrant County Commissioner's Court will vote today on a proposal to eliminate almost half of the county's Election Day polling locations, with a focus on Black, Brown and student-concentrated areas. Governor Greg Abbott has called a halt to data center developments for an audit, but has taken no steps to change the loose regulations he has himself signed off on. Bipartisan resistance to data centers is mirrored in similar opposition to Flock surveillance cameras, and the new THC ban in Texas. And Joe Rogan says the quiet part out loud, characterizing the Texas GOP as "predators".KERA Dallas: https://www.keranews.org/news/2026-08-03/tarrant-county-voting-potential-closuresLone Star Left: https://www.lonestarleft.com/p/ohares-not-done-yet?open=falseDallas Morning News: https://www.dallasnews.com/business/energy/article/abbott-data-center-audit-texas-22372503.phpTexas Tribune: https://www.texastribune.org/2026/08/03/texas-flock-cameras-law-enforcement-license-plate-readers/Houston Public Media: https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/news/politics/election-2026/2026/08/03/558506/thc-ban-texas-senate-race-talarico-paxton/Texas Public Radio: https://www.tpr.org/government-politics/2026-08-03/texas-delta-8-ban-creates-legal-risks-and-confusion-for-hemp-usersSan Antonio Current: https://www.sacurrent.com/news/texas-news/joe-rogan-begs-texas-not-to-turn-blue/This election year, you can support the real free press by investing in pro-democracy, pro-justice, pro-gressive storytelling.

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.

Most people think breathing is automatic.You inhale, you exhale, and that's it.But what if the way you breathe is quietly affecting your confidence, your voice, your posture, your sleep, your anxiety levels – and the way you show up when speaking in front of other people?In this episode, I sit down with breathing educator Jane Tarrant to explore a topic most business leaders never think about until something goes wrong: breathing habits.Jane explains why many high performers breathe from the wrong place, why “belly breathing” is often misunderstood, and how poor breathing habits can push people into stress, panic and disconnection from their audience.We also discuss the hidden connection between breathing and storytelling, and why the 30 seconds before a presentation matter far less than the habits you repeat every day.There's also a story involving split trousers in front of 200 people.What You'll Learn:• Why most speakers breathe from the wrong place• The difference between belly breathing and diaphragmatic breathing• Why upper-chest breathing increases anxiety• The role of posture in confident speaking• How tongue position changes your breathing• What the “D-spot” is and why it mattersIn This Episode:00:00 – When Jane's Trousers Split in Public03:16 – Belly Breathing vs Diaphragm Breathing05:05 – Why Chest Breathing Weakens Your Presence08:39 – The D-Spot Explained12:21 – The Link Between Breathing and Your Voice21:21 – The Signs You're Over-Breathing26:37 – Why Tongue Position Matters More Than You Think35:02 – The Surprising Link Between Storytelling and Breathing42:30 – Why Breathwork Doesn't Work for Everyone54:45 – The One Thing Jane Wants Everyone to RememberIf you want to feel calmer, more grounded and more connected when you speak, this conversation will change the way you think about breathing.We hope you enjoy it.———————Connect with Jane:Instagram: @linkbreathingWebsite: http://linkbreathing.co.uk/Recommended books:Breath by James NestorRose Loses Her Nose by Jane Tarrant#IdeasOnStagePodcast #Breathwork #BreathingHabits #PublicSpeaking #LeadershipCommunication

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.

In today's market, growth isn't just about growing a rent roll. It's about becoming the agency that landlords, talent, and clients actively choose and actually want to be part of. On The Property Management Excellence (PMX) Podcast, Alex Whitlock is joined by Phil Tarrant and Michael Magee to discuss the shift from simply growing rent rolls to building businesses that attract top talent, loyal clients, and long-term growth. The trio pull back the curtain on what goes into creating one of Australia's biggest property management events, and explain why industry recognition has become a genuine commercial advantage rather than just another trophy. Attention then turns to the focus of this year's PMX Conference, building an attraction business, with the conversation highlighting the agencies investing in culture, leadership, and client experience to stand out in an increasingly competitive market. As the profession evolves, Whitlock, Tarrant, and Magee agree that the future belongs to agencies that can clearly articulate their value, embrace innovation, and build businesses people genuinely want to work with and work for.

As Australia faces a populist political surge and the established political parties continue to lose ground, can Australia's "sensible" centre hold, or will decades of failed policies, broken promises and declining economic opportunities finally come home to roost? In a departure from its usual international focus, Contested Ground turns to domestic tensions sparked by the federal budget. The hosts argue that this has become a sustained point of public frustration rather than a short-term political issue. Hosts Phil Tarrant and Major General (Ret'd) Dr Marcus Thompson question whether Australia is moving away from its traditional "sensible centre" towards greater political polarisation. A central theme of the discussion is the declining level of trust between Australians and the political class. Dr Thompson argues that governments increasingly risk creating division through policies and political strategies that focus on wedge issues rather than building consensus. The conversation references debates, including the Voice referendum and responses to international crises, as examples of issues that have contributed to heightened social tension. The discussion also turns to housing, taxation and the economic pressures facing younger Australians. Tarrant raises concerns that government policy settings, including changes affecting self-managed super funds and capital gains tax arrangements, may have unintentionally reduced investment capacity and worsened housing supply pressures. The hosts question whether Australia is continuing to promote an outdated version of the "Australian Dream" while younger generations face record debt levels, higher living costs and greater financial uncertainty. Ultimately, the episode explores a bigger question: is Australia experiencing a fundamental shift in its national identity and political culture? The hosts suggest the country may be moving away from the traditional "sensible centre" that has defined much of modern Australian politics towards a more divided environment, where competing extremes increasingly dominate public debate. They warn that maintaining social cohesion will become harder if political leadership continues to prioritise short-term political advantage over long-term national unity. The episode concludes with a call for a renewed style of leadership – one focused less on political point-scoring and more on honesty, transparency and bringing Australians together to confront the economic and strategic challenges ahead.

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.

Following the collapse of leading Australian buyer's agency Dashdot, questions are emerging about the quality and transparency of property advice being offered to investors. As confidence wavers, investors are left asking how to properly conduct due diligence and what the evolving property landscape will mean for future decisions. In this episode of Property Buzz, Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman unpack the wave of disruption sweeping through Australian real estate, including a close examination of the liquidator's report into the Dashdot collapse. With $16.5 million in liabilities, 695 creditors, and $10.5 million tied up in "prepaid services & refunds", Tarrant questions whether the numbers fully stack up, suggesting the sector may be heading into a period of overdue rationalisation. The discussion then turns to the broader advisory landscape, with the pair questioning whether the traditional dominance of buyer's agents will give way to more tailored, locally grounded insights from property managers who hold long-term, on-the-ground experience in asset performance and tenant demand. They also examine Canberra's recent tax backflips, unpacking the policy shifts and mathematical blind spots that continue to shape housing affordability and influence property prices.

Budget 2026 has dropped – and insiders say it's not bold reform, but a tax grab that could redraw the winners and losers in Australian property. On Property Buzz, hosts Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman are joined by Tom Panos to break down one of the most consequential budgets in years and why it's already dividing investors, agents, and policymakers. Panos argues that the budget falls short of real tax reform, saying it shuts the door on younger Australians entering the market through changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax. Reporting from Canberra, Tarrant flags rising political risk, warning broken pre-election promises could define the budget as much as its economic impact. The discussion outlines winners and losers, with owner-occupiers and service providers potentially gaining while leveraged investors and developers come under pressure. Garman points to rising construction costs, labour shortages, and migration demand as forces that could further tighten rental markets. The trio closes on a warning: the budget's real impact will be measured in affordability, rents, and investor confidence.

Are you sabotaging your own portfolio? Most investors obsess over buying the right property, forgetting that real wealth is built after the deal is done. On The Smart Property Investment Show, hosts Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman are joined by Tim Harris, director of H & B Real Estate, to expose the overlooked role property managers play in long-term portfolio performance. Tarrant highlights that while brokers and buyers come and go, property managers are the ones who stay, often influencing results for decades. Harris reveals that poor property management quietly erodes returns through missed rent, bad tenants, and reactive maintenance, while strong systems and team structures can dramatically improve outcomes. The episode also challenges investors who chase low fees, warning that cutting costs on management often leads to bigger losses over time. With tighter market conditions and rising pressure on rents, your property manager isn't just a service – they're a key driver of whether your investment performs or falls behind.

Lucinda talks to John Tarrant, Managing Partner at DNA, to dissect the critical role of the Employee Value Proposition (EVP) in 2026. Moving far beyond simple marketing imagery, John explains how modern EVP must be an authentic statement of intent that bridges the gap between leadership perception and the daily reality of the workforce.  From navigating the post-COVID trust deficit to leveraging AI for data analysis without losing the human touch, this conversation provides a strategic seven-step roadmap for organisations looking to reduce attrition, slash recruitment costs, and build a truly distinct employer brand. KEY TAKEAWAYS A successful EVP is not just about pretty pictures or marketing; it must be a distinct, authentic, and compelling reflection of the actual internal employee experience. Strategic EVP development requires a deep-dive discovery phase to identify and fix the disconnect between senior leadership's vision and the reality of employees on the ground. Implementing a robust EVP is a business investment rather than a cost, capable of significantly reducing early attrition and decreasing the cost-per-hire through improved employer reputation. While AI can efficiently analyse large data sets and streamline admin tasks, it cannot manufacture an authentic brand; over-reliance on AI-generated content risks creating a generic, unbalanced narrative. BEST MOMENTS “We've defined an EVP as the statement of intent as to what you stand for as an employer." "If the rate of change in the external market is greater than that within the organisation, the end is nigh." "Your EVP's got to be distinct. It's got to be authentic, and it's got to be compelling, because this thing is going to have to work hard for you." "You're not really in control of that narrative now, so you have to take control" VALUABLE RESOURCES The HR Uprising Podcast | ⁠Apple⁠ | ⁠Spotify⁠ | ⁠Stitcher⁠   ⁠The HR Uprising LinkedIn Group⁠ ⁠How to Prioritise Self-Care (The HR Uprising)⁠ ⁠How To Be A Change Superhero - by Lucinda Carney⁠ HR Uprising Mastermind - ⁠https://hruprising.com/mastermind/⁠   ⁠www.changesuperhero.com⁠ ⁠www.hruprising.com⁠            Get your copy of How To Be A Change Superhero by emailing at ⁠info@actus.co.uk⁠ CONTACT JOHN John LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-tarrant-494363a/ DNA Website: https://www.wearedna.co.uk/ ABOUT THE HOST Lucinda Carney is a Business Psychologist with 15 years in Senior Corporate L&D roles and a further 10 as CEO of Actus Software where she worked closely with HR colleagues helping them to solve the same challenges across a huge range of industries.

What makes great service? It's one of those things we instantly recognise when we experience it, but struggle to define. And while organisations spend huge amounts of time trying to design seamless customer experiences, the reality is that service doesn't happen in strategy documents or training manuals. It happens in real time, between real people, in messy and unpredictable situations where eventually the playbook runs out. Episode OverviewIn this episode, Christian is joined by Will Tarrant, CEO of Freeman Group, who focus on helping organisations close the gap between what they promise customers and what actually gets delivered in reality. Drawing on decades of experience across hospitality, aviation, healthcare and destinations, Will explains why compliance-based training can sometimes increase hidden risk, why empowerment without judgment can quickly become chaos, and why the real differentiator in service is rarely the process itself — it's the human response when something unexpected happens. Along the way, the conversation explores:Why “making people feel a certain way” is the real job in hospitalityThe hidden risks created by over-reliance on scripts and SOPsWhy organisations often confuse solving problems with compensating customersThe psychology of customer perception and expectationHow hotels, airports and even destinations manage emotional experiencesWhy breakfast might be the best indicator of a hotel's qualityThe tension between automation and human interactionWhy good service recovery is about judgment, not generosityAs Will puts it: “Compliance-based training reduces visible risk, but it increases hidden risk.” Although framed around hospitality and customer service, this episode is really about something much broader: how humans make decisions when the script no longer applies.Guest Profile - Will TarrantWill Tarrant is the CEO of Freeman Group, a consultancy that helps organisations design and deliver service cultures that align operational reality with brand promise.

Welcome back to the Chris Moyles Show on Radio X Podcast! Chris was off on his holibobs this week so Toby Tarrant took the reins… and, unsurprisingly, chaos followed! Luckily for you, it's all been captured in this very podcast!So, what nonsense did Toby and Dom get up to this time?Well… they were gobsmacked when they found out you can buy hash browns in a nightclub (Producer John you legend!) Dom couldn't be trusted enough to play a musical instrument at school so he “played the hands”, (or the fingers?) We're still not sure! Oh and Toby and Dom (well actually just Dom) FINALLY attempted the long awaited conga in Leicester Square. Record-breaking moment… or total flop? You'll have to listen and find out!We were also joined by two spectacular guests, broadcaster and former MP Gyles Brandreth (who loves his rock and indie music by the way!) He spoiled us with a catalogue of magical stories, we actually could've spoken to him all day!Plus, legendary broadcaster Graham Norton dropped by to chat about his new TV show The Neighbourhood and look back on his remarkable career—including the wonderfully weird mix of guests who've graced his famous sofa. We're still amazed he trusted Toby to take over the interviewing duties!And somehow amongst all that madness there was still time for even more…What can't horses do?Producer Johns mystery vinylThe male KarenEnjoy!The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X!Weekdays 6:30am - 10am
