    Rent or Buy in 2026? | Ex-NRL Bulldog Turned Adviser Kerrod Holland

    Rent or buy in 2026? Kerrod Holland went from six figures in the NRL to $700 a $ 700-a-week take-home, with rent at $515 and a newborn. He's a financial adviser now, and he's a buyer in this Australian property market. Kerrod played 70+ games for the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs after seven years as a qualified electrician. Then the contract wasn't renewed. He had cash buffers. He didn't have a framework for risk, and he'd overextended on the assumption the income would keep coming. He's now Managing Director of Tenex Wealth in Newcastle, and this is the conversation he wishes someone had sat him down for at 25. He and MPA Top 100 Mortgage Broker, Aaron Christie-David, get into why he calls the family home a lifestyle asset and not an investment, and why you can only cut 100 per cent of your expenses but have infinite upside on your income. The couple earning $300,000 who wanted an income portfolio while carrying $80,000 in car and personal debt. Why he tells clients not to wait until 60 to take the trip. And the question he asks every couple before he looks at a single number: what does perfect look like to you? Kerrod's views are his own opinion and general information only.

    80% of Development Sites Don't Stack Up: How to Start Property Development in Australia's Toughest Market

    Steve Maroun runs a $200M development pipeline at 30 - and says this is the hardest moment in Australian property development in living memory. His family lost nearly everything in the GFC. He's building anyway. Steve, Director of Lanevick, takes Aaron Christie-David through the maths that stopped working: land, build cost and sale price all moving the wrong way at once, to the point where sites approved for six storeys are now worth more with the existing house renovated. He breaks development into four pillars - finance, construction, design and town planning, and sales, and shows where first-time developers quietly destroy their margin before they've turned a sod. Splitter blocks that shrink your buyer pool. Over-capitalising on a build nobody in that suburb can afford. Treating development as something you do on the side. It's also a family story. His father arrived in the early 1980s, started in cement rendering, built a portfolio across the Olympic boom, then watched it unwind in 2008 with only the family home left. What Steve learned in the rebuild is the real lesson here: start small, stay active, run your own race, and stay in the game long enough for the odds to do their work.

    The Rental Super Boom Is Coming: Negative Gearing, the Budget & Australia's New Wealth Gap (ft. Sammy Gordon & Jeremy Iannuzzelli)

    The Federal Budget just changed the rules of Australian property investing overnight - negative gearing, CGT discounts, self-managed super funds and the ripple effects will hit every renter, buyer and investor in the country. Sammy Gordon (Australian Property Scout) and Jeremy Iannuzzelli join the show for a post-budget deep dive: why disincentivising investors will trigger a rental super boom, how the new policies draw a permanent line between the haves and have-nots, what's really behind the government's push against SMSFs and payday super, and why sentiment is sitting at GFC lows while seasoned investors are quietly buying more aggressively than ever. If you're wondering whether to sit on your hands or act, this episode is your sentiment check. You'll learn why the next 6-12 months may be the best buying window since COVID, the 12 locations tipped for extreme rental surges, and the mindset shift needed to build wealth when everyone else is frozen.
