    THE PROPERTY NERDS: The banks don't want you to meet her

    A lower interest rate could save thousands, but a strategic debt reduction plan could cut hundreds of thousands from the total cost of a mortgage. On Property Nerds, Arjun Paliwal is joined by finance specialist Kat Marsalek to examine the strategies borrowers can use to reduce their mortgage debt and slash their lifetime interest bill. Marsalek shares a case study where projected interest fell from more than $1.3 million to $300,000 after restructuring cash, loan repayments, and investment debt. The pair also look at offset versus redraw, debt consolidation, and using investment property cash flow to attack non-deductible home loan debt faster. Marsalek argues that borrowers need more than a competitive interest rate, with a personalised debt reduction strategy potentially changing how quickly a mortgage is paid off and how much interest is ultimately charged.

    'You couldn't have cooked up a worse set of tax policies': Andrew Bragg's housing plan for a Coalition government

    Shadow housing minister Andrew Bragg says the budget has delivered fewer homes, higher rents, and fewer first home buyers, and tells Phil Tarrant what the Coalition would do if it wins office. On this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil Tarrant is joined by Senator Andrew Bragg, the Liberal Party's shadow minister for housing, to examine what has changed for investors, renters, and first home buyers since the federal budget. Bragg argues the government's new tax measures have made conditions worse, pointing to what he says is a fall in home loans, rising rents, and a decline in annual housing supply over its time in office. The pair also discuss the pressures on builders, from migration-driven demand to construction costs, red tape in the National Construction Code and industry insolvencies. Bragg then outlines the Coalition's plan, including repealing the new taxes, cutting the building code, and making it easier to build granny flats, while acknowledging that getting repeals through the Senate would be a challenge. The pair also grapple with using super as a mortgage offset, the growth of "retired renters", and a Coalition policy of aligning migration with housing availability, with the next federal election less than two years away.

    Property Buzz: Falling home values could blow a hole in aged care. Has anyone done the maths?

    From SMSF lending to credit card surcharges, Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman say recent policy changes are producing consequences nobody planned for, and the biggest one could hit Australians when they are most vulnerable. On this episode of Property Buzz, Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman examine how a raft of recent policy announcements, from tax changes to credit card surcharges, are buffeting the economy and creating unintended consequences that will impact every Australian. The pair pull apart the latest CPI figures to question the federal government's explanation for inflation, with Garman arguing that government spending is crowding out the private sector and weighing on productivity. Tarrant then turns to the removal of residential lending from SMSFs, which he says is putting pressure on builders and the viability of new projects. He also argues that falling home values could undermine the aged care system, with fewer older Australians able to draw on their homes to fund entry costs, leaving families facing a difficult situation at a vulnerable time and potentially adding a significant cost to the budget. The pair also discuss the launch of Banking Daily, Momentum Media's new financial services platform, and how it aims to deliver the latest intelligence for people working in the sector.

    HOW I MET MY BROKER: No stamp duty and no broad CGT in NZ?! Is commercial property where the money is flowing?

    Bigger assets, higher yields, better exchange rates, and a growing commercial property market are putting New Zealand on the radar for Australian investors.  On How I Met My Broker, Hung Chuy is joined by commercial buyer's agent Steve Palise to explore why he has expanded into New Zealand and what Australian investors need to know before buying across the Tasman. Palise said that Australians buying in New Zealand can access commercial assets with net yields of 6 to 7.5 per cent, while the exchange rate and absence of stamp duty can stretch their purchasing power by 20 to 30 per cent. The pair also examine commercial lending, including lease doc loans, higher loan-to-value ratio (LVR) options and what different budgets can buy, from sub-$1.5 million warehouses and retail properties to larger multi-tenant assets. Palise also explains why he moved away from residential property and how his team approaches commercial due diligence, while warning that the current yield opportunity may not last as more investors enter the New Zealand market.

    How investors can manufacture equity instead of waiting for growth

    As market growth becomes less certain, property development can manufacture equity, but getting site selection, feasibility, and construction risks right is critical. Here is what investors need to know. On The Smart Property Investment Show, Liam Garman is joined by Paul Maaskant, founder and CEO of National Property Investment Group, to explore how investors can manufacture equity through property development. Maaskant explains how investors can add value through the development process, from identifying viable sites and navigating council requirements to managing construction and delivering the right product for the local market. The pair discuss the importance of due diligence, with changes to planning rules creating new opportunities in some markets while rising construction costs continue to add pressure to development feasibility. Maaskant also shares how investors can use experienced builders, consultants, and market data to manage development risks, while revealing the level of capital investors may need to bring to the table before taking on a project.

    Starting with nothing: How to build a property portfolio from scratch in a tough market

    Starting a portfolio in today's market takes more than buying the right property, with strategy, cash flow, and borrowing power shaping how far investors can go. On The Smart Property Investment Show, deputy editor Emilie Lauer is joined by Josh Crealy, founder of LEVR, to discuss how investors can start building a property portfolio from scratch in a tougher market. Crealy explains why investors need to look beyond Australia's headline market and understand the different cycles playing out across capital cities, particularly when working with a limited borrowing capacity. The pair discuss why lower-priced properties remain resilient, with affordability pressures pushing demand into cheaper parts of the market and creating opportunities for investors who understand where that demand is heading. Crealy shares why he still sees opportunity in Melbourne, pointing to population growth, falling dwelling supply, and rising rents, while established units are also gaining appeal as investors place greater emphasis on cash flow and borrowing capacity. The conversation also explores the importance of having the right team, structuring investments correctly and using equity and refinancing strategically, while Crealy warns against taking on high-risk developments too early in a portfolio-building journey.

    Yields, rates, and due diligence: What investors need to know about commercial property

    Commercial property is drawing more interest as residential options narrow, but higher yields require sharper due diligence. Here is what investors should know. On The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil Tarrant is joined by Steve Palise, founder and director of Palise Property, to examine why commercial property is attracting growing investor attention. The pair discuss the appeal of commercial yields, particularly in the sub-$1.5 million market, where competition is increasing as more investors move into the asset class. Palise explains how rental growth and cap rate compression can drive commercial property values higher, while highlighting the importance of understanding leases, outgoings, and the quality of the underlying asset. The conversation also explores the risks of commercial investing, from limited market data to choosing the right buyer's agent, and why investors need to do their homework before chasing higher yields.

    Property Buzz: Rate rises, housing shortages, and a changing property market

    Rate rises, housing shortages, and shifting investor strategies are putting Australia's property market under pressure and raising bigger questions about homeownership. On Property Buzz, Phil Tarrant is joined by Momentum Media director Alex Whitlock to examine the forces reshaping Australia's property market, from interest rates and housing supply to changing investor strategies. The pair discuss expectations for further rate rises and why borrowers should be reviewing their mortgage costs, with Whitlock sharing how a conversation with his lender secured a significant rate reduction. The housing shortage also comes under the microscope, with the collapse of Western Sydney builder Bathla Group highlighting the pressures facing construction and development, while community resistance to higher density continues to complicate efforts to increase supply. Looking further ahead, Tarrant and Whitlock examine the 2026 Intergenerational Report and its implications for homeownership, wealth transfers and Australians who may rent for life, before turning to the growing appeal of high-yield inner-city Melbourne apartments for investors.
