In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil Tarrant is joined by Annie Kane, managing editor of mortgages, and Liam Garman, managing editor of real estate. The host and the Momentum Media editors explore the complexities of the current Australian property market. They examine how government schemes, including the expanded 5% Deposit Scheme, are driving demand but causing delays as lenders struggle to keep up. Kane highlights that brokers are the main channel for the scheme, but overwhelming demand has led some lenders to pause pre-approvals. Tarrant raises concerns that the scheme could encourage unsustainable debt levels among first-time buyers. Investor lending is also on the rise, with the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) monitoring trends and considering measures to curb high debt-to-income ratios and rapid investor lending. Garman points to supply-demand pressures exacerbated by migration and infrastructure, warning of potential negative equity for some buyers. The discussion also covers the role of buyer's agents, emphasising the importance of choosing licensed professionals to avoid costly advice missteps. As the market evolves, the trio notes that navigating government interventions, lending practices, and ongoing supply-demand imbalances will be critical for both investors and home buyers.

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Phil Tarrant is joined by Costa Arvanitopoulos from Finni Mortgages to unpack Macquarie Bank's retreat from trust and company lending and the rising role of self-managed super funds (SMSFs) in property investment. They explain that Macquarie's move, driven by tighter anti-money laundering (AML) scrutiny and concerns over spruikers using trusts to dodge serviceability rules, signals a broader shift in how lenders view complex structures. While this may disrupt investors who use trusts for tax and asset protection, borrowing in personal names remains available, and other lenders are expected to fill the gap. Against this backdrop, Tarrant and Arvanitopoulos highlight SMSFs as a more mainstream and increasingly popular vehicle for property investment. Arvanitopoulos notes that SMSFs let investors use their super to buy property without impacting personal borrowing capacity, which is particularly useful for those already maxed out in their own names. He explains that SMSF lending focuses on fund contributions, rental income and, for business owners, company financials to prove serviceability. The duo also flag the limitations and tax settings around SMSFs, including no equity release, no major renovations, and higher tax rates on very large balances.

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Phil Tarrant is joined by Future Proof Property Advisory co-founder Dawn Fouhy to help investors cut through the noise of the Melbourne market and gain clarity amid a crowded field of opinions. Together, they unpack how analysis paralysis can stall progress, particularly in fast-changing markets like Melbourne and regional Victoria, and why investors need to align with advisors and strategies that genuinely resonate. Fouhy explains what makes a property truly future-proof, urging investors to buy with future buyers in mind, avoid investor-saturated pockets, and target areas with scarcity and low building approvals. She shines a spotlight on Melbourne's renewed appeal, noting that while oversupply is a risk in some locations, suburbs such as Williams Landing, Point Cook, and Hoppers Crossing are underpinned by strong owner-occupier demand and constrained supply. The duo also explore Geelong's rise as Australia's top relocation hotspot, with Fouhy pointing to suburbs like Hamlyn Heights and Belmont as examples of locations where economic strength, lifestyle appeal, and solid fundamentals support long-term capital growth. Revisiting the capital growth versus cash flow debate, Tarrant and Fouhy emphasise that while cash flow is crucial for managing holding costs, it is capital growth that ultimately drives meaningful wealth creation. For those eyeing the Melbourne and Victorian markets in 2026 and beyond, Fouhy recommends starting with a realistic budget, then targeting townhouses or units in established, high-demand areas that offer both affordability and advantages.

In this episode of Broker Daily Uncut, hosts Phil Tarrant and Alex Whitlock explore the evolving landscape of Australia's mortgage industry and what it means for brokers and investors. They highlight the importance of celebrating achievements, noting that recognising successes boosts morale and reinforces professionalism during busy periods. With around 22,000 brokers and nearly 80 per cent of loans now processed through brokers, they discuss whether the industry has reached a growth plateau. The rise of buyer's agents is examined, as their entrepreneurial approach may encroach on traditional broker roles and drive greater professionalisation. Tarrant and Whitlock also review first home buyer schemes, warning that while these boost market activity, they may increase debt burdens for younger Australians. Major banks are engaging more closely with brokers to strengthen relationships and better understand market dynamics. The hosts stress the role of self-regulation, citing examples like Macquarie Bank's withdrawal from trust lending as a way to maintain integrity and limit external oversight. Looking ahead, they predict increased consolidation, professionalisation, and the need for brokers to stay informed and adaptable in a changing market.
In this episode of Business Accelerator, Phil Tarrant and Jason Back delve into the evolving landscape of mortgage broking and its implications for brokers in 2026. They discuss the pressures facing solo practitioners, including burnout and the challenge of being the "hero" of their business, and examine the potential shift toward more collaborative and sustainable business models. The duo highlight how the industry's rapid growth – brokers now write around 75 per cent of all mortgages – is creating both opportunity and competition, forcing brokers to rethink traditional approaches. Back outlines how solo brokers can still thrive by leveraging technology, building strong client relationships, and excelling in marketing, sales, and service. For those struggling to scale independently, he suggests joining larger brokerages to access support, resources, and sustainable growth pathways. Tarrant and Back also consider broader industry shifts, advocating models similar to those found in accounting or legal practices, where brokers can work in structured firms with opportunities for partnership and equity. They emphasise the critical role of aggregators in supporting productivity, efficiency, and long-term sustainability. By combining mindset, technology, and strategic business structures, this episode equips brokers to adapt, remain relevant, and thrive in a transforming market.

In this episode of the Smart Property Investment Show, host Phil Tarrant is joined by Eva Loisance from Finni Mortgages to discuss the critical role of finance and professional guidance in property investment. They begin by discussing the importance of surrounding oneself with knowledgeable brokers, accountants, and financial planners, while also acknowledging the ethical challenges that can arise when working with industry professionals. Loisance highlights that entry requirements for mortgage brokers are relatively low, meaning some may lack the expertise to provide sound advice, making it essential for investors to choose advisors carefully. The duo then explores regulatory improvements, such as the best interest duty introduced in 2021, which requires brokers to act in their client's best interest and document their recommendations. Despite the new rules, unethical practices like non-disclosure of referral fees or favouring higher-commission lenders still exist, prompting Tarrant and Loisance to urge investors to ask probing questions and seek transparency.

In this episode of Broker Daily, co-hosts Phil Tarrant and Jason Back break down the mindset, systems, and strategies brokers need to avoid burnout and sustain success. They explore how recognising early signs of fatigue, irritability, and over-reliance on adrenaline can protect both health and business outcomes. The duo discuss the importance of seeking feedback and support from colleagues, managers, and family to prevent burnout before it escalates. Organisation, routine, and time audits are highlighted as essential for prioritising high-value activities, while delegating or automating lower-impact tasks. They emphasise the need to set boundaries, learn to say no, and manage workloads effectively. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle – including exercise, nutrition, and stress management – is shown to boost both personal wellbeing and professional performance. Tarrant and Back also highlight the building systems and support structures that enable brokers' businesses to run efficiently without relying solely on their own efforts. By combining mindset, structure, and practical strategies, this episode equips brokers to stay passionate, protect their wellbeing, and grow their business sustainably.

In this episode of Fresh Thinking by Snowden Optiro, Tarrant Elkington (General Manager, Snowden Optiro) is joined by Markus Dammers (Director, IPCC & Conveyors, Metso) to talk about what IPCC really means in practice, and whether "strategic conveying" is a more useful way to frame the conversation.

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Phil Tarrant sits down with mortgage broker Rebecca Carlson to explore rentvesting and how it can help individuals, particularly post-divorce, rebuild wealth and regain financial independence. Rentvesting allows individuals to rent where they want to live while owning investment properties elsewhere, providing flexibility and market access. Carlson and Tarrant discuss recent policy changes that remove caps for first home buyers, allowing entry with just a 5 per cent deposit and no lenders mortgage insurance, which may shift the dynamics of first-time rentvesting. Divorce often leaves people with cash but no home, making rentvesting a practical way to re-establish a financial footing. Carlson notes clients can leverage available funds to secure investment properties and gradually build wealth while managing risk. Post-divorce emotional challenges can create hesitation, but starting small helps build confidence in property investment. Professional advice from accountants and buyer's agents is key to navigating markets and identifying opportunities.

What's your favourite water creature?Welcome back to the Chris Moyles Show on Radio X Podcast.This week could have been one of the greatest weeks of radio ever. Until all of our guests cancelled… But that didn't stop us from talking to some of the biggest names in entertainment!

Once you find out who he hit and what they were doing at the time, you'll understand why this story made national headlines…Also, on the day that thousands of students were anxiously waiting to receive their GCSE results, we put Dom through a slightly different examination.

Time for our intrepid travellers to play at dress up. Cally's uses her lizard brain, Tarrant is the Scarlet Gimpernel, Dayna indulges in some blatant lyreing, and Vila's become a low-rent children's entertainer. Avon, of course, is the bloke in black who ruins everyone's fun. But what is the secret of the space pumpkin? Should Avon really be going round kissing dead people? Less importantly, can he beat Tarrant in a piddling competition? And did Jim and Martin gain new life from watching Sarcophagus or was it like being trapped at a particularly weird wake? Listen to find out! This episode can also be found at iTunes/Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Audible, Player FM, Pocket Casts, Podvine, Castbox and all other pod apps (as far as we know). You can also find us on Facebook, Mastodon at @mutoidpodcast@mstdn.social, and on Threads and Bluesky where we are @mutoidkrynoidpods. Thanks for listening!
