    Your Childhood Trauma May Be Driving Your Property & Wealth Decisions

    Most property investors focus on numbers. But what if your biggest wealth blocker isn’t financial, it’s psychological? If you’ve ever wondered why smart people still make self-sabotaging money decisions, this episode will change how you see property investing forever. We’re joined by Philippa Hunt, behavioural psychologist turned financial planner, who works at the powerful intersection of money, trauma, and decision-making. Philippa reveals how hidden psychological money blocks, survival instincts, and self-worth silently drive investing behaviour, including why so many people chase property for safety, security, and approval. We explore how unresolved trauma shapes risk tolerance, why women fall behind financially, and how overreliance on property portfolios can become a vanity metric rather than a strategy.

    2025’s Most Important Real Estate Trends That Aren’t in the Headlines | Terry Ryder

    In this episode, Terry Ryder, founder of Hotspotting, joins us to cut through the noise and talk about what actually drives property growth in Australia. With decades of data-backed insight, Terry explains why local economies, not national headlines, shape the real estate market. We unpack why interest rates are overrated, how infrastructure projects signal future hotspots, and why some of the best opportunities right now are outside the major capitals. Terry also shares why apartments are outperforming in key markets and how first-time investors can make smart moves, without waiting for the “perfect” time. We also dive into high-growth regions, overlooked suburbs, and why investors need to stop chasing trends and start looking forward. Episode Takeaways: ✅ Interest rates are overrated. The media overplays interest rates. Most property movements are driven by supply, demand, and economic activity, not RBA decisions. ✅ Never sell too early. Terry’s personal regret: selling great properties too soon. Long-term hold strategies build serious wealth. ✅ Ignore the headlines. Media commentary is often sensational and contradictory. Real research beats clickbait. ✅Western Sydney is booming. The new airport and surrounding economic zone are creating long-term opportunities in once-overlooked suburbs. ✅Timing beats hype. The best growth often happens in markets that currently look flat but have strong fundamentals. Meet Terry Ryder Terry Ryder is one of Australia’s leading independent property commentators and the founder of Hotspotting, a research platform helping investors identify high-growth locations before they boom. With a background in journalism, including roles at the Australian Financial Review and Courier Mail, Terry has spent over three decades analysing property trends and exposing market myths.

    Depreciation for Property Investors: What You Can and Can’t Claim

    Depreciation might not sound exciting until you realise how much money it’s leaving on the table for everyday investors. In this episode, we’re joined by Scott Brunsdon, co-founder of Depreciator and one of the first in Australia to specialise solely in tax depreciation schedules. We dive into what depreciation actually is, why so many investors and even accountants overlook it, and how one schedule can mean thousands in extra cash flow year after year.

Whether you own one property or ten, this episode is packed with simple, actionable insights that could seriously improve your return. Episode Takeaways: ✅ Depreciation isn’t just for new builds.
