    Why the Next 24 Months Could Be a Great Time to Buy Property | FUNdamental Fridays

    Could the next two years be one of the best times to buy property? In this Friday Fundamentals episode, Ben Kingsley is joined by Stuart Wemyss to unpack what's really driving property prices and why the current market could present opportunities for buyers willing to think differently. While many Australians are waiting for greater certainty, Stuart explains why lending volumes, not headlines, are often the biggest driver of property price growth. Together, they discuss why lower confidence can actually create better buying conditions, how credit availability influences markets, and why supply could be the biggest challenge facing buyers over the coming years. They also explore: ✅ Why lending volumes are a leading indicator of property prices ✅ The impact of interest rates, credit policy and buyer confidence ✅ Why investors may be stepping back from the market ✅ How supply constraints could support prices ✅ Whether buyers should wait for the "perfect" time ✅ Lessons from purchasing during the GFC Because when everyone is waiting for certainty, opportunities can often emerge for those prepared to act.

    610| Livevesting: Could Buying a Better Home Be Smarter Than Another Investment Property? - Chat with Stuart Wemyss

    What if the “safe” property decision you make today is the one you regret in 20 years? 🤔  With the rules around property investing changing, these are the decisions investors are being forced to rethink.  Joining Ben Kingsley and Luke Oxenham is Stuart Wemyss, founder of ProSolution Private Clients, host of the Investopoly podcast and author of Wealth by Design.  Together, they challenge some long-held assumptions about building wealth: Is diversification always a good thing? Has the family home become the ultimate tax haven? Can property still stack up without negative gearing? And was your first property ever really meant to be held forever?  Plus, Stuart reveals what investors should be focusing on if negative gearing never returns, and why the best financial decision might not be the one that feels safest today.  Because when you’re building wealth, Stuart argues there’s one perspective that changes everything:  ⏳ Think decades, not days.    Free Stuff Mentioned  Updated Property Case Studies 📊 See how the latest tax changes impact all seven case studies from How to Retire on $3,000 a Week, plus a brand-new bonus case study. 👉 Join the Waitlist for early access - for FREE!     PIPA Annual Investor Sentiment Survey 🏡 Have your say on investor confidence, market trends and the impact of policy changes, helping PIPA advocate for balanced, evidence-based property policy. 👉 Take the Survey  Wealth by Design by Stuart Wemyss 📖 Discover Stuart’s eight rules for smarter investing and building financial freedom. 👉 Check Out the Book  🎧 Investopoly Podcast  Hear more of Stuart Wemyss’ insights on property, investing and long-term wealth creation. 👉 Listen to Investopoly 🔄 Listen to our other great episodes with Stuart here >>  🔄 Listen to our Tax Extraordinaire Julia Hartman’s episodes here >>  LISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >> MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform:  https://www.moorr.com.au/      FREE MASTERCLASS: - How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >> FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple Again FIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube

    When Is It Time to Stop Buying Investment Properties? | FUNdamental Fridays

    How do you know when you've bought enough property? In this Friday Fundamentals episode, Polly Chu is joined by mortgage broker Luke Oxenham to tackle a question from listener Andrew: "How do you know you're ready to land the plane?" For many investors, the accumulation phase becomes second nature. The focus is always on the next property, the next equity release, and the next opportunity. But what happens when you've built the portfolio you need? Luke and Polly explore why there is no universal number of properties, why borrowing capacity shouldn't determine your investment goals, and how investors can start thinking about debt reduction, passive income and lifestyle by design. They also unpack: ✅ Why "enough" looks different for every investor ✅ The role of passive income in defining your finish line ✅ Why lenders don't decide when your journey ends ✅ The transition from accumulation to consolidation ✅ Debt reduction strategies as retirement approaches ✅ Balancing wealth creation with actually enjoying life Because at the end of the day, money is a tool, and investing should help fund the life you want to live.

    Would You Pay More For An Energy Efficient Home? | FUNdamental Friday

    Welcome back to Friday Fundamentals on The Property Couch. In this episode, Shane Pope is joined by Jacob Caine, President of the Real Estate Institute of Australia and Victoria, to unpack a property shift that many homeowners and investors may not be thinking about yet: Home energy ratings. Jacob explains why energy efficiency could become a much bigger factor in how properties are valued, rented and sold — particularly as governments look more closely at the energy performance of existing homes. The conversation covers mandatory disclosure, retrofitting, the former NatHERS system now moving under the Home Energy Rating brand, and why upgrades like solar, insulation, batteries, heat pumps, efficient appliances and decommissioning gas could become part of a property’s future value story. They also explore why this may create a major opportunity for owners of existing homes, especially if buyers and renters increasingly factor energy performance into their decisions. If you own property, rent property, or are thinking about upgrading, this is one to keep on your radar. Got a question or a “hill” you want us to unpack?

    608 | REIA President: Are Governments Making the Housing Crisis Worse? - Chat with Jacob Cain

    Recorded just days after Victoria welcomed a new Premier, this conversation couldn't have come at a more pivotal time.  Ben and Shane sit down with Jacob (Jake) Caine, President of the Real Estate Institute of Victoria (REIV) and the Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA), to unpack one question that's shaping the future of Australia's property market:  Are governments solving the right problem... or creating new ones?  From Victoria's rental reforms and proposed auction reserve price changes to the Federal Government's new tax policies and anti-money laundering (AML) laws, Jake explains why the industry believes many well-intentioned reforms are producing unintended consequences.  Drawing on REIA's Senate evidence, independent modelling and frontline industry experience, the conversation explores what these changes could mean for housing supply, affordability, investor confidence and everyday Australians looking to buy, sell or rent property.  If you've been wondering whether the latest reforms are helping or hurting, this episode will be your answer.
