    EP24: From Refugee to Property Empire with Peter Puljich

    This episode tells the story most investors will never experience but can learn everything from. How does someone arrive in Australia with nothing, no English, no money and go on to build a property empire worth hundreds of millions? In this conversation, Andrew sits down with Peter Puljich, founder of Living Gems, to unpack the real journey behind the success, from working construction jobs to building high-rise projects, and eventually creating one of Australia’s most successful land lease community businesses. But this isn’t just a story. It’s a masterclass in how wealth is actually built over decades through strategy, patience, and a completely different way of thinking about property. Peter shares the exact model he used to create long-term wealth, including how he structured deals so he could recover his capital early and keep the upside for life. In this episode, you’ll learn: How Peter turned a caravan park into a long-term income and wealth machine Why owning the land (not just the property) is where the real money is The strategy behind buying “unloved” or overlooked locations How zoning uplift creates massive value most investors miss Why relationships (especially with agents) directly impact your success The mindset required to build wealth over decades, not monthsIf you’re serious about property, this episode will challenge how you think about deals, risk, and long-term wealth.

    EP22: How to Spot Bad Property Deals Before They Cost You

    Most property investors are still looking for the next deal. But in today’s market, that’s the wrong focus. With higher interest rates, tighter lending, and rising costs, the margin for error is smaller than it’s been in years. Deals that might have worked in the past are now falling apart, not because they look bad upfront, but because the risks are hiding beneath the surface. In this episode, Andrew breaks down real deals he walked away from including a high-yield commercial property, a development site with hidden costs, and a “too good to be true” subdivision opportunity. Each one looked profitable on the surface… but deeper due diligence revealed risks that could have cost hundreds of thousands. If you’re serious about protecting your capital and making smarter investment decisions, this episode will change how you evaluate deals. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why high-yield properties can actually be the riskiest deals The hidden red flags most investors miss (before it’s too late) How due diligence clauses protect you — and when to use them The real cost of ignoring location, access, and infrastructure risks How to separate marketing hype from actual development potential Want to avoid costly mistakes and invest smarter?

    EP17: How Tax Depreciation Can Put Thousands Back in Your Pocket with Brad Beer

    In this episode of The Andrew Wright Property Podcast, Andrew sits down with Brad Beer, founder of BMT Tax Depreciation, to break down one of the most overlooked ways property investors can improve after-tax cash flow. If you own an investment property and you’re not claiming depreciation properly, you could be leaving thousands of dollars on the table every year. Brad explains what a tax depreciation schedule actually is, why accountants often need a specialist quantity surveyor to calculate it properly, and how depreciation applies across both residential and commercial property. They also unpack the difference between plant and equipment and capital works, the impact of post-2017 rule changes, why renovations can create additional deductions through scrapping, and how a simple schedule can make a major difference to borrowing capacity and portfolio growth. Andrew also shares his own experience using depreciation schedules across his portfolio, including examples where first-year deductions ran into tens of thousands of dollars. Whether you own one investment property or you’re building a larger portfolio, this episode shows why tax depreciation is not just an accounting detail, it’s a serious cash flow tool. In this episode, you’ll learn: What a tax depreciation schedule is and why it mattersWhy your accountant may not be maximising your deductions without a quantity surveyorThe difference between plant and equipment and capital worksHow depreciation can improve your after-tax cash flowWhy even older properties may still qualify for valuable deductionsHow renovations and “scrapping” can create additional tax benefitsWhat changed after 2017 for residential investorsWhy depreciation can also play a role in development feasibility and financeTo learn more about property investing, connect with Andrew, or join the community, visit:https://andrewwrightproperty.com.au/ hello@andrewwrightproperty.com.au
