    The $10,500 Tax Mistake Most Investors Make | FUNdamental Fridays

    Welcome back to The Hill I’ll Die On, our Friday mini-series where members of the Property Couch crew share bold property and money opinions they’re willing to stand behind.  This week, tax expert Danish joins Ben Kingsley with a clear message:  Don’t DIY your tax return.  Especially when it comes to capital gains tax.  Dinesh explains how many property investors miss key deductions, overlook important costs, and end up paying more tax than they need to.  From stamp duty to holding costs, he breaks down what’s commonly missed — and why having a professional review your position can make a significant difference.  In fact, in one recent case, a client saved over $10,000 simply by having their tax properly reviewed.  If you’ve had a capital gains event in the last couple of years, this is an episode worth listening to.  Got a question or a “hill” you want us to unpack?

    TPC Gold | Why Your Budgeting Spreadsheet is Failing You

    If you’ve ever built a budget, felt good about it… and then completely ignored it a week later — you’re not alone.   The truth is that most budgets don’t fail because the numbers are wrong. They fail because they rely on perfect behaviour in imperfect moments.   For the original episode, tune in here: Episode 337 | The 4 Pillars of Money Health.  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

    Stop Blaming Landlords for the Housing Crisis | FUNdamental Fridays

    Welcome back to The Hill I’ll Die On, our Friday mini-series where members of the Property Couch crew share bold property and money opinions they’re willing to stand behind.  This week, tax expert Julia Hartman joins Ben Kingsley to tackle a controversial topic:  Blaming landlords for the housing crisis.  Julia argues that increasing taxes, regulations, and costs for investors may actually reduce rental supply — which can drive rents even higher.  In this episode, she unpacks the unintended consequences of policy decisions, the role of market forces, and why some widely accepted solutions may not be solving the problem.  It’s a thought-provoking conversation that challenges the current narrative around housing in Australia.  Got a question or a “hill” you want us to unpack?

    The MOST Important Factor When Selling Property (It’s Not Price) | FUNdamental Fridays

    Welcome back to The Hill I’ll Die On, our Friday mini-series inside The Property Couch where members of the Couch Crew share bold money and property opinions they’re willing to stand behind. In this episode, buyer’s advocate Shane Pope joins Ben Kingsley to unpack a powerful truth most sellers and buyers overlook: 👉 The real estate agent is the most important part of your property transaction. It’s not just about price. It’s not just about marketing. Shane explains why even the best property on the best street can fail to sell if the wrong agent is running the campaign, and how great agents create momentum, communication, and ultimately… results. You’ll also hear real examples of how agent quality can influence outcomes, how strong operators manage buyers and vendors, and what separates top performers from the rest. If you’re buying or selling, this episode will change how you think about choosing the right agent. Got a question or a “hill” you want us to unpack?

In this groundbreaking episode, Ben is joined by Ray White Chief Economist Nerida Conisbee and Behavioural Economist Evan Lucas to unpack how these forces are colliding and exactly what it could mean for property prices, investors, and the broader economy.
