    The Worst Property Move You Could Make Right Now | FUNdamental Fridays

    Welcome back to Friday Fundamentals on The Property Couch. In this episode, Shane and Ben tackle a question that’s suddenly everywhere: Are investors about to make emotional decisions they’ll regret? From panic-selling regional properties to suddenly chasing yield, off-the-plan deals, or “safer” tax-driven strategies, there’s a lot of emotion in the market right now. Shane and Ben unpack why fear-driven decisions can be dangerous, why “doing something” is not always the same as doing the right thing, and what investors should actually be looking at before making a move. They also explore what people in regional markets should be tracking closely, how to think about supply and risk, and why growth still matters more than a reactive strategy shift. If you’ve been asking yourself whether to sell, hold, or completely rethink your approach, this is one worth watching before you make any big moves. Got a question or a “hill” you want us to unpack?

    603 | The Biggest Wealth Mistakes I've Seen After 10,000 Conversations – Chat with John Pidgeon

    What separates people who successfully build wealth through property from those who stay stuck?  After thousands of coaching sessions, buyer enquiries, property purchases and podcast interviews, John Pidgeon has seen the patterns firsthand.  John is the Director of Envisage Property, co-host of the property podcasts This Is Property and a regular contributor on Money Money Money, as well as the bestselling author of Sort Your Property Out & Build Your Future. Over the years, he's helped thousands of Australians navigate their property journey through coaching, buyer's advocacy, lending strategy and education.  He’s joined by Ben Kingsley and Couch Crew Luke Oxenham to unpack the biggest lessons from more than 10,000 property conversations, including the mindset shifts successful investors share, the mistakes that quietly hold people back, and why taking action often matters more than finding the perfect strategy.  You'll learn:  ✔️ The common traits successful investors share  ✔️ Why procrastination can be your most expensive mistake  ✔️ The role mindset, action and leverage (not just borrowing leverage, either!) play in wealth creation  ✔️ How to think about property during uncertain times  ✔️ The questions investors are asking right now in 2026  ✔️ Why wealth building is a process, not an event    Because as John explains, after 10,000 property conversations, success rarely comes down to finding the perfect property — it comes down to making consistently good decisions over time.

    Why Working Hard No Longer Feels Like Enough | FUNdamental Fridays

    In this Friday Fundamentals episode, Shane and Evan Lucas unpack a much bigger issue than the usual property or tax headline: has the social contract around work, education and getting ahead been broken? Evan argues that the current debate around intergenerational inequality is focusing too heavily on the margins while missing the core problem. For many Australians, the traditional path of studying hard, working hard, and moving forward financially does not feel as reliable as it once did. Education costs more, HELP debts are larger, taxes bite earlier, and the reward for extra effort can feel less clear. This episode explores the deeper structural issues behind the frustration many people feel — and why the real conversation needs to go beyond surface-level policy fixes.

    (LIVE) RBA Jun 2026 | Pause, Peak… or More Pain Ahead?

    The RBA just hit pause... holding the cash rate at 4.35% after three hikes in a row this year. And the vote was unanimous, with all nine Board members backing the hold. Ben Kingsley and economist Evan Lucas break down what the unanimous decision really signals, why the RBA's own inflation forecasts still have them cautious, and whether this is genuinely the peak... or just the calm before more pain. 💡 Thinking about refinancing or adjusting your loan strategy?

    The Smartest Property Move After the Tax Changes | FUNdamental Fridays

    In this Friday Fundamentals episode, Shane Pope and Luke Oxenham tackle a very practical question: If you already own property, what’s the smartest next move? With the tax landscape changing and investors reassessing their options, this conversation explores why growth still matters most — and why your principal place of residence may be more important than ever in shaping your next step. Shane and Luke unpack the idea of improving your home, releasing equity, and getting positioned to act while others are still sitting on the sidelines. They also discuss why the current environment may be creating a rare opportunity for upgraders, particularly with fewer investors competing in the market. If you already own property and you’re trying to work out what comes next, this is a timely one. Got a question or a “hill” you want us to unpack?
