    Is Australian Property Entering a Buyer's Market?

    Is Australia entering a buyer's market? Dwelling values in both Sydney and Melbourne are slowly beginning to dip and sellers are having to adjust their expectations. This does mean that buyer's are in a better spot than they have for years, but supply remains constrained. Typical buyer's markets have supply outstripping demand, but that simply isn't the case in Australia, placing the market in a weird spot that's probably more correction than recession.  Follow us for more property news and mortgage advice!  ▸Website - https://itssimple.com.au ▸Instagram -  https://www.instagram.com/itssimplefinance/ ▸Facebook -  https://www.facebook.com/itssimplefinance/ ▸LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/itssimple/ DISCLAIMER This podcast contains general financial information only.

    Your Buyer's Agent Might Be Working Against You. Here's How to Know

    The 5% deposit sounds like a win… until you realise a small mistake on suburb choice, timing, or holding costs can leave you owing more than the property is worth. We sit down with Nick Khzouz, a buyer’s agent (and former lawyer and banker) from B Money Property Group, to unpack the real-world risks behind low-deposit buying, refinancing, and trying to leapfrog into your next property. If you’ve been watching the Australian property market and wondering whether the First Home Guarantee is helping or hurting, this chat gets specific fast. We get practical on what to look for before you buy: stock on market trends, supply saturation, land constraints, and why days on market can be one of the simplest demand indicators to track. Nick also breaks down return on capital versus return on investment, why some investors grow faster with the same cash, and how strategies like interest-only lending and negative gearing (with proper accountant advice) fit into the bigger picture of serviceability and risk. Then we go straight into the messy stuff people whisper about: off the plan property deals, hidden incentives, “rebates”, and why conflict of interest is the line that separates an advocate from a salesperson. We share horror stories, talk transparency reforms like a conflict register, and run through how we assess a buyer’s budget, time horizon, goals, and when they want to extract equity. We also touch on areas we’re watching across Sydney, Newcastle, and parts of Victoria, plus why policy changes can push eager first home buyers into repayments they can’t comfortably carry.

    Most Small Business Owners Are Paying Too Much Tax

    A single conversation at 15 changed everything. Davie Mach chose accounting to pull his family out of debt, started a firm at 26, and built it to 40 people by doing one thing most advisers avoid: telling small business owners the whole truth about money, structure, and risk.  Davey breaks down the difference between reactive, textbook accounting and proactive, real-time advice powered by cloud tools and AI without losing the human touch. We map the structures that matter in Australia: when a company beats a trust, how a family trust can hold shares for asset protection, why SMSFs are for long-term assets, and where bucket companies and intercompany loans create tax efficiency without triggering Division 7A headaches. If you’ve ever wondered whether the CGT discount justifies holding assets in your own name, you’ll hear the long-game maths that many investors miss. With a wave of senior accountants retiring and government revenue pressure rising, small businesses face a tougher environment than ever. Enforcement is up, complexity is rising, and yet opportunities grow for owners who keep tight books, review quarterly, and structure for resilience.  If you run a business, invest in property, or simply want to pay less for better decisions, this episode is for you. Follow and subscribe, share this with a mate who owns a business, and leave a review so more Australians find practical, plain-English finance advice.

    What They Aren't Telling You About the First Home Guarantee

    Prices are climbing, tempers are flaring, and a simple promise—“buy with just a 5% deposit”—isn’t as simple as it sounds. Joe and Michael unpack the new rules around Australia’s First Home Guarantee and why it might not be the slam dunk the federal government believes.  We draw a clean line between the federal guarantee and state‑based grants and stamp duty concessions, then walk through what that means in New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland.  The boys don't just complain, Joe provides practical solutions that might improve supply and demand.  Follow us for more property news and mortgage advice!  ▸Website - https://itssimple.com.au ▸Instagram -  https://www.instagram.com/itssimplefinance/ ▸Facebook -  https://www.facebook.com/itssimplefinance/ ▸LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/itssimple/ DISCLAIMER This podcast contains general financial information only.
