    4 Investment Properties Cost Her Just $11,000 in 5 Years

    Thinking about your first or next investment property? Book a call: https://go.purepropertyinvestment.com/calendar-booking - In January 2020, our client Jamie bought her first investment property, a house in Perth, for $320,000. COVID hit a month later, and with her family telling her to hold off, she bought a second house in Brisbane anyway. Over five years, she held four investment properties across Perth and Brisbane, and by her own spreadsheet, they cost her about $11,000 out of pocket in total before tax. In this episode of The Pure Property Podcast, Aaron Findlay joins Phil Tarrant to go through what she paid for each of the four houses and how the rent slowly caught up with the mortgages. They also discuss why waiting for the right time to buy is a bet that you take.  - CHAPTERS 0:00 Building a steady portfolio 0:37 Why Jamie started investing 1:27 The book that got her started 4:11 Why acting this early is rare 7:28 The long-term goal 8:18 Property 1: Forestfield, Perth 13:15 Property 2: Deception Bay, Brisbane 16:06 Property 3: Caboolture, Brisbane 17:25 Don't rule out a suburb on reputation 19:46 Property 4: Wellard, Perth 20:45 Selling two to buy the family home 24:25 Paying down the family home first 27:49 What four properties cost her to hold 30:09 Saving the deposit in reverse 32:29 What she'd tell herself at the start 33:12 When you and your partner disagree 33:49 Why she's waiting to buy again 36:26 Will stories like this still happen? 37:45 Why waiting is a bet too - ABOUT PURE PROPERTY INVESTMENT Pure Property Investment is an Australian buyers agency.

    Why the Properties You'd Actually Buy Aren't Dropping

    Thinking about your first or next investment property? Book a call: https://go.purepropertyinvestment.com/calendar-booking ---------------------------------------- The Australian property market is falling, but not in the price range most investors actually buy in. In this episode of The Pure Property Podcast, we work through why the correction in the headlines hasn't shown up in the properties we buy for clients. The short answer is construction cost: when an existing house sells for less than it costs to build the same house today, nobody builds, no new supply arrives, and the stock already there has a floor under it. We also go through the stock we bought for clients at $310,000 a year ago that now sells closer to $400,000, and the filter we use to tell one market from the other. ---------------------------------------- Pure Property Investment is an Australian buyers agency.

    SMSF is gone. Is commercial property the new strategy?

    SMSF residential lending is off the table, but investors aren’t out of options. As the rules shift, commercial property is emerging as a new pathway to keep portfolios growing. On The Pure Property Podcast, Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop are joined by Aaron Findlay to discuss the SMSF lending changes and the rush from investors trying to secure residential deals before the deadline. The trio look at the surge in investor activity, why the lending changes are forcing investors to rethink their strategies, and how commercial property is gaining attention as a potential alternative. They also explore the appeal of commercial property, including its income potential, different management demands, and opportunities for business owners to hold premises through their SMSF and lease them back to their own business. The conversation also covers the importance of understanding leases, conducting thorough due diligence, and looking beyond the rush to secure a deal, particularly as investors navigate a rapidly changing lending landscape.

    SMSF crackdown, housing shortage, and the next property opportunity

    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 budget, the buyer’s agency collapse, and the window of opportunity nobody talks about

    Most investors have spent weeks obsessing over negative gearing and capital gains tax changes, but the biggest opportunities often emerge when fear, uncertainty, and bad headlines dominate the conversation. On The Pure Property Podcast, Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop unpack the federal budget fallout, the collapse of one of Australia’s largest buyer’s agencies, and why market disruption often creates opportunities for investors willing to think long term. The pair discuss how the proposed tax changes could reshape investment behaviour, while warning that much of the public reaction has been driven by speculation rather than legislation. They also examine the fallout of Dashdot, highlighting the risks investors face when paying large upfront fees and the importance of choosing advisers with sustainable business models. Despite the uncertainty, Glossop argues that periods of market hesitation often create some of the best buying conditions, particularly for those prepared to act while others sit on the sidelines. The discussion also explores the growing challenge of home ownership for younger Australians and whether traditional pathways into the market are becoming increasingly out of reach.

    Are property investors being used as political scapegoats?

    As the federal budget approaches, policy pressure on Australian property investors is intensifying, with CGT, negative gearing, and SMSF lending all under the microscope. On The Pure Property Podcast, hosts Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop tackle the growing concerns that investors are being unfairly caught in the crossfire of the national housing debate. Tarrant challenges the narrative that property investors are driving unaffordability, arguing they are being used as political scapegoats rather than attention being directed at Australia’s underlying supply shortage. Glossop points to structural failures in housing delivery, contending that slow approvals and constrained supply remain the root cause of affordability pressures – not investor activity. The episode also examines the looming risks around capital gains tax (CGT) reform, negative gearing changes, and potential restrictions on self-managed super fund (SMSF) property lending as the budget draws closer. With policy risk continuing to rise, the duo urge investors to remain strategic and stay informed.

    How one cricketer turned early career earnings into a multi-property portfolio

    Can athletes really turn short sporting careers into lifelong financial security through property investment? In short, yes – here is how to do it. From cricket pitches to property portfolios, professional athletes are increasingly using real estate to secure their financial futures long after their sporting careers end. On The Pure Property Podcast, Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop speak with former Australian cricketer Stephen O’Keefe about his transition from elite sport into building a property portfolio and investing for the future. O’Keefe shares his journey from a modest cricket contract to developing a diversified portfolio, reflecting on early missteps, the importance of due diligence, and key lessons learned along the way. The conversation also highlights the need for financial planning among athletes with short, uncertain careers, with O’Keefe sharing that by his early 30s, his passion for cricket had faded, and the game had become a job that funded his growing focus on property investment. The trio also digs into whether rising construction costs and tougher lending conditions are changing the game for investors and developers right now. Additionally, the co-hosts underscore the importance of having a trusted team and long-term planning for athletes, with O’Keefe’s journey reflecting the need to learn quickly, adapt, and position himself for life beyond the game.

    How to navigate interest rate and global uncertainty in 2026

    In this episode of The Pure Property Podcast, co-hosts Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop explain how investors can pivot their strategies to navigate geopolitical and interest rate uncertainty in 2026. They analyse the potential impact of changes to the capital gains tax (CGT) discount and discuss how investors can repivot and plan their portfolios strategically. The hosts highlight how the proposed reforms could shift investor behaviour – encouraging longer-term holding rather than speculative buying and selling – which may increase rental pressure but is unlikely to improve overall housing affordability. Tarrant’s recent acquisition in a growth market illustrates this strategy in action. By targeting an emerging area and positioning for long-term capital growth, he shows that research, timing, and a clear plan are key to navigating uncertainty. Glossop and Tarrant emphasise that while tax changes may be politically appealing, they do little to solve Australia’s real housing challenge: a chronic shortage of new dwellings driven by slow approvals, strong migration, and shrinking household sizes.
