    Most Investors With Multiple Properties Are Making This One Debt Mistake

    A married couple came to us with six investment properties, a $5.5 million portfolio, and a buyer's agent telling them to buy three more. Our advice was the opposite: sell. Review your Portfolio on PropStac 👉: https://follio.com.au/propstac-waitlist/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode_96 Speak to a Qualified Property Advisor 👉: https://follio.com.au/contact-us/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode_96 In this property investment strategy session, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty walk through two real client portfolios and the exact moves they would make. From slashing a dangerous debt to income ratio to turning a cash flow drain into a self-funded asset, this episode shows how sophisticated investors reposition for long-term capital growth. Lachlan breaks down the numbers behind two very different investors: a six-property portfolio bleeding cash on regional assets, and a young Sydney couple trying to upgrade their family home. He explains how to read a debt to income ratio, when negative gearing stops making sense, and why he would pull equity out of Brisbane and Adelaide blue-chip assets to reposition into the Melbourne property market. If you are weighing capital growth against cash flow, this is the framework to make the call. What you'll learn: ✅ Why a 3% cash buffer and a 5.8x debt to income ratio is a danger zone, and how to fix it ✅ When to divest regional properties and which blue-chip assets to keep ✅ How a Melbourne unit complex delivered a 6.5% yield and a $600k equity uplift on day one ✅ The case for selling everything to upgrade a Sydney family home, and when to hold instead ✅ How to push your portfolio harder with a bigger cash buffer and higher cash flow Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: a strategy episode for experienced investors 02:48 Scenario one: reviewing a $5.5 million portfolio 05:24 The warning signs: debt-to-income and cash buffers 08:20 Why the advice was to sell the regionals 13:34 The Melbourne unit complex: $600K equity from day one 16:39 Cash flow forecasting and retirement income 18:00 Scenario two: a young Sydney family's portfolio 19:23 Sell everything and upgrade in Sydney now 22:55 The alternative strategy if you're not upgrading 27:01 Is this portfolio enough to retire on?

    Australian Buyer's Agencies Are Collapsing. Here's Why You Need To Be Careful

    Several buyer's agencies have collapsed in the past few weeks, and more are likely to follow. Lachlan Delahunty explains why it's happening, what separates the firms going under from the ones that will survive, and how to tell the difference before you hand anyone your money.

They talk through what actually makes a buyer's agency worth trusting, and why strategy matters far more than sales. Then into the seven-day market update across every capital. Sydney has now fallen for 14 consecutive weeks and is on track to approach the sharpest annual decline in 40 years, though the severity is starting to moderate and auction clearance rates are quietly recovering. Melbourne is falling more slowly, with its sub one million dollar market posting positive movement even as the top end drops. Brisbane's decline is accelerating into a wave of new supply, Adelaide is picking up pace against a backdrop of outbound migration, and Perth is still up strongly for the year despite its first back-to-back weekly falls. The episode closes on why the two-speed market is becoming a six or seven-speed one, and why knowing your local market has never mattered more. ✅ Why several buyer's agencies have collapsed and more are expected to ✅ The difference between a sales-led agency and a strategy-led one ✅ Why Lachlan sees an industry reset as overdue and healthy ✅ How to choose a buyer's agency you can actually trust ✅ Why both doomsayers and optimists think Follio is biased, and what that says ✅ Sydney's 14 straight weekly falls and the 40-year record it's approaching ✅ Why Melbourne's sub one million dollar market is holding up ✅ Brisbane's accelerating decline and the oversupply building behind it ✅ Adelaide, migration and the affordability ceiling ✅ Why the two-speed market is becoming a six-speed one Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: industry news and the weekly market update 01:38 Doomsayers versus optimists: why we get both 03:15 Markets within markets 07:34 Buying conditions: when is the right time to buy 10:42 The buyer's agency shakeout and how to pick one 16:41 Why the industry needs a reset 19:08 Market update: Sydney's 14th straight weekly fall 22:08 Melbourne, and the sub one million dollar market 24:46 Brisbane, and the oversupply building behind it 27:19 Perth, plus Adelaide and the six-speed outlook 29:15 Why the market is fracturing into many speeds About The Follio Property Podcast Each week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

    Major Banks Predicting 8% Crash Will Actually Cause Prices to Rise | Property Experts

    The Big Four banks just published their 2027 property forecasts, and they don't agree. ANZ is tipping falls across the board while CBA and Westpac are forecasting growth, a spread of nearly 10% on the same market.

One bank predicts a national house price crash while another forecasts solid growth. In this episode of the Follio Property Podcast, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down every major bank forecast for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, and reveal which prediction the data actually supports. Lachlan and Reece go beyond the headlines to expose why bank forecasts keep getting it wrong. They unpack the supply and demand dynamics driving each capital city, why interest rate cuts could trigger an instant rebound, and the real truth behind automated valuation models that could be overvaluing your property by up to 10%. What we cover in this video ✅ The complete 2027 forecasts from ANZ, NAB, CBA and Westpac, city by city ✅ Why there's a 10% gap between the most bearish and most bullish bank ✅ The interest rate trigger that could spark an immediate Sydney and Melbourne recovery ✅ Why automated valuations from banks and realestate.com.au are 5 to 10% overinflated ✅ The truth about negative equity and the 5% deposit scheme ✅ What the new SMSF lending restrictions mean for your property strategy Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: the banks warn of more price falls 01:48 ANZ: the only major forecasting falls across 2027 05:21 NAB, CBA and Westpac: a 10% spread in forecasts 06:30 Lachlan's call: why the worst may be behind us 10:37 The 5% deposit scheme and negative equity 11:09 Why the property valuations you see online are wrong 17:06 The Perth "price falls" article, fact-checked 21:10 How subdivision and new supply drag the median 23:33 Why new apartments don't always lower your value 25:27 The SMSF lending changes and the strategy pivot About The Follio Property Podcast Each week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

    Property Markets Hit Historic Ceiling: Here's Exactly How Far Prices Must Drop

    Last week was the worst week for the Australian property market in all of 2026, with Sydney alone down almost half a percent in seven days. But the more useful question is how far each market actually falls from here, and Lachlan Delahunty has the data to answer it. Real Estate Agent Callout 👉: jonathan@follio.com.au Access PropStac 👉: https://follio.com.au/propstac-waitlist/?utm_source=ep&utm_medium=93&utm_campaign=propstac Contact Us👉: https://follio.com.au/contact-us/ In the first of the new weekly market update, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down seven days of Cotality data across every capital city. They walk through Sydney's worst weekly fall on record this year, why prestige suburbs are being hit far harder than the affordable end, and why Melbourne's sub one million dollar market is running hot even as the median keeps sliding. The core of the episode is the affordability index, the share of the average wage consumed by the average mortgage, and how it predicts when a market tops out and how far it corrects. On today's numbers, Sydney sits well above its historical ceiling and would need to fall around 12% to return to it, while Melbourne sits well below its ceiling with real runway left. Lachlan also explains why Brisbane's run may be ending, why the end of the SMSF lending window may have driven this particular week, why he believes you shouldn't be selling into a falling market without a reason, and where the next cycle is likely to begin. What we cover: ✅ Why last week was the worst week for property in 2026 ✅ What Lachlan meant by "the worst is behind us," and what he now stands corrected on ✅ Sydney's worst weekly fall on record this year and why prestige is hurting most ✅ Why Melbourne's sub one million dollar market is one of the hottest in the country ✅ Brisbane hitting its affordability ceiling and the oversupply risk building ✅ Adelaide and Perth, and how the SMSF deadline may have shaped the week ✅ How the affordability index predicts exactly how far each market falls ✅ Why Sydney may need to fall around 12% while Melbourne has runway left ✅ The widening gap between house and unit prices and the opportunity it creates ✅ Why Melbourne may lead the next cycle, and why Follio stays cautious on Darwin Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: the worst week for Australian property in 2026 03:21 What "the worst is behind us" actually meant 05:49 Sydney: the worst weekly fall on record this year 07:28 Why the prestige markets are hurting most 08:44 Melbourne: why the sub one million dollar market runs hot 11:40 Brisbane: the wheels come off and the oversupply risk 13:09 Adelaide, Perth and the SMSF deadline effect 18:00 The affordability index: how far each market can fall 30:32 The cycle: why Melbourne may lead the next decade 33:46 Darwin: why Follio stays cautious About The Follio Property Podcast Each week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

    Lending Data Reveals What Banks Don't Want You to Know | Property Market Analysis

    New lending figures show investor activity down 8.6% and first home buyers still falling, and yet the more surprising story is where the price falls are actually landing: the most expensive suburbs, not the affordable ones. Join the PropStac Waitlist 👉: https://follio.com.au/propstac-waitlist/?utm_source=ep&utm_medium=92&utm_campaign=propstac Start you investment journery 👉: https://follio.com.au/contact-us/?utm_source=ep&utm_medium=92&utm_campaign=contact_us Three major data sets landed on the same day, and Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break all three down live. They start with the ABS lending figures to June, why the post-budget drop is smaller than expected but only captures half a month of the fallout, and why the next quarter will likely be far more significant. Lachlan also explains why banks losing volume could make debt easier to access over the next six to twelve months. From there they turn to the migration data, where permanent arrivals rose while short-term arrivals fell, and what a shift toward skilled migration means for housing and the economy. Then into the Cotality figures: how far each capital would fall in a downturn scenario, why Melbourne may be closer to its floor than any other market, and why the prestige end is taking a far bigger hit than the affordable end. They close on investor share by state, including Victoria at 41% and Tasmania at a striking 73%, and the case building around Melbourne heading into the Victorian election. What we cover: ✅ ABS lending data: investor activity down 8.6% and why the next quarter will be worse ✅ The RBA hold, easing US inflation, and the odds of one more rate rise this year ✅ Why banks losing market share could make borrowing easier soon ✅ Migration data: permanent arrivals up 7.8% while short-term arrivals fall ✅ Cotality peak prices and how far each capital would fall in a 20% downturn ✅ Why Melbourne may be near its floor and set to rebound fastest ✅ The two-speed economy across Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth ✅ Why prestige suburbs are falling four to five times faster than affordable ones ✅ Investor share by state: Victoria at 41% and Tasmania at 73% ✅ The Melbourne outlook heading into the Victorian election Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: three data releases in one day 01:02 ABS lending data: investor activity down 8.6% 03:40 The RBA hold, US inflation and the rate outlook 06:36 Migration data: permanent arrivals up, short-term down 09:48 Cotality: peak prices and the downturn scenarios 11:21 Why Melbourne may be near its floor 14:17 The two-speed economy: Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth 16:40 Why the prestige markets are falling fastest 21:18 Investor share by state: Victoria 41%, Tasmania 73% 22:12 The Melbourne outlook and the Victorian election About The Follio Property Podcast Each week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

    Major Banks Warn of Australia's Biggest Property Crash in 40 Years | Property Experts

    Every capital city is now flat or falling, some markets by more than 1.5% a month, and yet Lachlan Delahunty just put an offer on a unit complex in Melbourne. This episode is about why the two things aren't a contradiction. Get in touch 👉: https://follio.com.au/contact-us/?utm_source=ep&utm_medium=91&utm_campaign=contact_us Join the PropStac Waitlist 👉: https://follio.com.au/propstac-waitlist/?utm_source=ep&utm_medium=91&utm_campaign=contact_us Back in the studio together, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty work through the questions clients ask most often. They start with the big one: is now actually a good time to buy? Lachlan makes the case that the market is running at five different speeds, why buying into heavily falling markets is a mistake even when everyone is quoting "be greedy when others are fearful," and why a softer market is exactly where a disciplined buyer finds undervalued assets. From there they cover the real risk in investing outside your home state, and why the cost of doing so is usually dwarfed by the upside of buying in the right market. They break down the post-budget question of whether to upgrade your home or buy your first investment property, why units and townhouses have become far more compelling since the negative gearing changes, and what the latest KPMG forecast says about unit price growth.
