    Are All Perth Units a Bad Investment? Here’s Why I Don’t Think So

    Perth property investors are often told to avoid units. But the right apartment, villa, or townhouse can outperform the "safe" house strategy (when you know how to stack up the full picture). In this episode of Perth Property Insider, Jarrad Mahon and buyer's agent Justine Destura challenge one of the most stubborn beliefs in property investing: that houses always beat units. Using a real client's portfolio projection, they compare buying one $850,000 property against two units at around $600,000 each - with surprising results. But let's be clear, this is not a green light to buy any unit you can find.  There are specific criteria you must get right. Miss just one, and a promising investment can turn into a long, expensive headache. Tune in to discover: ✅ How the end of negative gearing changed the units vs houses debate ✅ The layer of research almost every investor skips before buying a strata property✅ Why a very low strata fee can be a red flag, not a bargain ✅ How to properly assess the suburb, pocket, complex, property, and purchase price✅ How Perth CBD, West Leederville, Maylands, and Wembley stack up ✅ The simple “$1,000 offer” strategy that keeps winning properties at the $600K stamp duty threshold✅ How to compete for in-demand Perth units without overpaying or getting caught up in the heat of a bidding war Whether you're building your first investment strategy or expanding a Perth property portfolio on limited borrowing capacity, this episode gives you the framework to judge any unit before you spend a dollar.

    The Biggest WA Subdivision Shake-Up in Decades (With Anton Flynn)

    Could 50,000 more blocks in Perth soon become subdividable? The WA Government has announced major proposed changes to the Residential Design Codes, potentially unlocking thousands of new subdivision and infill-development opportunities across Perth.  But before property owners and investors rush to buy development sites, there are important risks, timeframes and practical issues to understand. In this episode of Perth Property Insider, Jarrad is joined by Anton Flynn from Subdivison Experts to reveal what the proposed WA R-Codes reforms could actually mean for R20-zoned properties, 700m² blocks, granny flats, dual-key developments, and Perth’s future housing supply. You’ll hear why the reforms could be a major opportunity for existing property owners - with one important caveat. You’ll learn: ✅Why some 700m² R20 blocks could potentially be subdivided into two✅How the proposed changes differ from current R20 subdivision requirements✅What the reforms could mean for Perth property values and development potential✅The specific group of people who owners may benefit most from the changes✅A potentially overlooked issue that may create congestion in established suburbs✅Why local councils may resist parts of the proposed planning reforms✅The critical timing factor that determines when investors should avoid buying property✅Two things that may be just as important as rezoning land Key moments: 00:00:00 Intro00:03:20 Fixing code complexity00:06:40 Parking and street chaos00:09:40 Don't buy on hype00:12:40 New property tax edge00:15:40 What's actually confirmed00:18:40 Councils get bypassed00:21:40 The build cost seesaw00:24:40 Watch the backlash - Resource Link ✅Connect with Anton Flynn from Perth Subdivision Experts https://www.subdivisionexperts.com.au/✅Get your Rental Health Score now to ensure your Perth rental property is optimised for returns and sleeping well at night https://rentalhealth.scoreapp.com/ Would you like to get clear on your current property’s outlook and the best strategy for you?

    Property Policy Showdown: Labor, Coalition, and One Nation

    What happens to Australian property prices, rents, and housing affordability when government policy changes? In this episode of Perth Property Insider, I take a completely non-partisan look at how the housing policies of Labor, the Coalition, and One Nation could reshape the Australian property market. I break down what each party's policies actually encourage and what that means for property prices, rents, housing supply, migration, inflation, interest rates, and investor confidence. Because here's the truth: if you're serious about building wealth through Australian property, understanding these economic drivers matters far more than predicting who wins the next election. In this episode you'll learn: ✅ How Labor's housing policies could affect investors and tenants…and why the outcome may surprise you✅ The real impact of migration on Australian property prices and rents ✅ What the negative gearing and capital gains tax changes mean for investors ✅ Whether reducing investor demand actually improves housing affordability ✅ How Coalition policies could influence housing supply and investor confidence ✅ What One Nation's housing policies may mean for affordability and property growth ✅ How inflation, interest rates, and government spending shape the property market ✅ How to build a property investment strategy that works under any government Key moments: 00:00:00 Intro00:03:20 Labor's migration settings00:06:40 Rental supply irony00:09:40 Coalition's balance play00:12:40 One Nation's investor cap00:15:40 How to vote proof your portfolio If this episode helps you think differently about your portfolio, share it with a friend and leave a comment - I'd love to hear which policy direction you think gets it right. - Resource Link ✅Get your Rental Health Score now to ensure your Perth rental property is optimised for returns and sleeping well at night https://rentalhealth.scoreapp.com/ Would you like to get clear on your current property’s outlook and the best strategy for you?

    How To Find Hidden Development Potential In Your Perth Property With Anton Flynn

    Could your Perth property be hiding a subdivision or small-scale development worth more than the home itself? Most owners have no idea what their block can really do. In this episode of Perth Property Insider, Jarrad sits down with Anton Flynn from Subdivision Experts to reveal what's working in the Perth property development world right now.  They cover real subdivision strategies, smart retain-and-build plays, and the hidden options most Perth investors don’t know about.

    Your Perth Rental Property Might Be Underperforming (Here’s What To Check)

    The gap between an average Perth investment property and a high-performing rental comes down to four hidden levers. Pull all four, and your Perth rental property performs at its peak, with strong yields, and lower stress. Miss just one, and you could be losing thousands every year without even knowing it. Right now, Perth landlords are facing rising interest rates, new rental reforms, and tenants who expect more than ever.  That makes a property ‘health check’ more important than at any point in the last decade. In this episode of Perth Property Insider, Jarrad sits down with Jewayne Loong, former REIWA Property Manager of the Year - to share the four pillars that decide whether your Perth investment property is building wealth or leaking it. Tune in to discover: ✅ Why chasing the highest rent often kills your real return✅ How to tell if your Perth rental is truly performing at market rate✅ Can keeping a great tenant below market value actually pay off?✅ How property condition shapes your rent, tenant quality, and future sale price✅ The simple checks that prove your property manager is doing their job✅ What world-class property management in Perth should look like in 2026✅ The warning signs of an underperforming rental (and how to fix them fast) Key moments: 00:00:00 Intro00:02:40 Proactive landlords vs set and forget00:05:40 Rent pricing strategy00:08:40 Vacancy rates and the data trap00:11:40 Attracting quality tenants00:14:20 The extreme tenant screening process00:18:20 Property condition and value00:21:20 Why property management matters00:25:40 Warning signs of an underperforming rental00:28:20 The free Perth Rental Health Score - Resource Link Get your Rental Health Score now to ensure your Perth rental property is optimised for returns and sleeping well at night https://rentalhealth.scoreapp.com/ Would you like to get clear on your current property’s outlook and the best strategy for you?

    Holding Higher for Longer: What the RBA Really Thinks About Inflation in 2026

    Is Australian inflation really cooling, or is the worst still ahead for borrowers and property investors? The headlines say one thing. Yet the Reserve Bank of Australia is saying something very different.  And the difference between those two stories will shape interest rates, mortgage repayments, and the Australian property market for the next 12 months. In this episode of Perth Property Insider, Jarrad Mahon breaks down the latest Australian inflation data, the RBA's next move on interest rates, and what it all means for property investors, borrowers, and homeowners across Australia. Whilst headline inflation has started to ease, the bigger issue is underlying inflation - especially services inflation, rental pressure, wage growth, housing shortages, and government spending.  Hit play to get the full picture before the next RBA announcement, and learn what every property investor in Australia needs to do right now to stay ahead. In this video, we cover: ✅The truth about inflation and whether it's really under control✅Why the RBA may hold interest rates higher for longer in 2026✅Headline inflation vs underlying inflation (and the one number the RBA actually watches)✅How rental inflation and the Australian housing shortage are pushing CPI up✅Why federal government spending may be working against the RBA✅How fuel prices, energy costs, and the Iran conflict are feeding Australian inflation✅What higher interest rates really mean for Australian borrowers and property investors✅The important metrics that now matter more than capital growth Key moments: 00:00:00 Intro00:03:00 Headline vs underlying00:05:40 RBA cautious thinking00:08:40 The government spending problem00:11:50 Tax uncertainty00:15:10 Energy transition costs00:16:40 What happens next00:19:50 Investor takeaway - Resource Link • Get your Rental Health Score now to ensure your Perth rental property is optimised for returns and sleeping well at night https://rentalhealth.scoreapp.com/ Would you like to get clear on your current property’s outlook and the best strategy for you?
