    The Government is Misusing Tax Payer Dollars | Dave Hughes, Sam Gordon, Aaron Christie-David

    They said rents would rise by $2 a week. The banks now say $300. Dave Hughes and buyer's agent Sam Gordon join Aaron Christie-David to follow the money on the Australian property budget nobody voted for. Hughesy explains why the CGT change was never taken to an election, why he says there was no mandate for it, and why he now calls himself part of the problem. Sammy does the maths the modelling didn't: lose $10K on a property, get $3K back, and a $700-a-week rental becomes $1,000. Then the receipts. $1.6 million to hire pot plants. $90 million weather website. A tunnel that went from $4 billion to $11 billion. Sacked politicians on $250K a year for life. And Hughesy's fix: every cent of public money on a register, in real time. It gets personal too, with the Greens senator who called him a rich landlord while he rents a flat to a single mum for $120 a week, why small business owners are the heroes of this economy, and why "breathing is winning." This episode touches on financial stress and mental health. Lifeline 13 11 14, Beyond Blue 1300 22 4636. Want to know what the changes mean for your borrowing power?

    How This Single Mum Purchased 4 Properties on a Basic Salary

    At 34, Renuka had no bank card in her own name and her salary wasn't reaching her account. At 43, she owns three Australian properties on one fixed public sector income and is arranging pre-approval on a fourth. She's a single mum to a primary school-aged son in southwest Sydney. In this episode she takes Aaron and Lauren through the whole rebuild: - The $25 a fortnight salary sacrifice a colleague talked her into 15 years ago that became the super balance behind two SMSF properties - Why she bought where she could afford instead of chasing a blue-chip suburb - The six financial advisers who told her they don't deal with anyone under a million dollars - The property deal Lauren stopped her signing after the seller demanded an answer in 24 hours. She shares the cash envelope system, the notes app that runs her budget, and why every decision points at one number: mortgage-free by 50, so she can go and work in the domestic violence and refugee space. If you're rebuilding after a separation, buying on one income, or you've been told no and believed it, start here.

    BONUS EP: What My Daughters Really Think Of Me | Fathers Day Special

    Aaron Christie-David, MPA Top 100 Mortgage Broker, asks his five-year-old and seven-year-old daughters what he does for a living. No guest this week. No lender policy, no borrowing capacity, no numbers on a page. Just a dad, two kids and a microphone, recorded for Father's Day. Aaron sets the tone early - being a parent isn't a right, it's a privilege - and then hands the questions over. They explain Dad's job in one line. They name the family memories that actually stuck, and none of them are the expensive ones. They give the best thing about Dad, then the worst thing about Dad, and they do not hold back. Whether you're building a portfolio for your kids, running a business while trying to be present at home, or you're a dad looking for a reason to hit record this Sunday, this one's for you.

    The 18 Year Property Cycle: Is Australian Property At The Peak?

    Catherine Cashmore says the 18-year property cycle has peaked, and that Australian property is at the top of it. We spent an hour testing whether that holds up. Catherine is a former president of Prosper Australia and has spent two decades working across land economics and buying property for clients. She forecast the Perth boom in 2019, when Perth had been flat for a decade. Dawn Fouhy, 2026 Buyer's Agent of the Year, joins Aaron Christie-David, MPA Top 100 Mortgage Broker, to pressure test the whole framework. Catherine traces it through Australia's history from the 1890s bust to 1991, 2008 and Covid, and explains why land rather than buildings is what actually moves. She covers why a falling median value hides what happens to individual properties, why Melbourne is affordable and what land tax has to do with it, why she thinks commercial property is the worst place to be right now, and what first home buyers should be weighing up. Dawn asks whether a government heading into an election year could hold the whole thing up. Aaron asks the question everyone asks about forecasts: what if you're wrong? Talk to the team at Atelier Wealth about your borrowing position. New episodes every Monday, 6:30 am. Formerly The Australian Property Investment Podcast - 270+ episodes.

    Marty Fox on Selling in this Market | Built Different Podcast

    Marty Fox won't buy an investment property in Melbourne right now, and he'll tell you why. The WHITEFOX CEO and Block judge on Australian property, goal setting, and building 23 offices. In 2021, Marty wrote a five-year goal sheet. Three properties to his name, three thousand followers, and WHITEFOX London scrawled on the last line as the pie in the sky one. He's now responsible for 145 careers across 23 offices with New Zealand and Dubai live, targeting 50 offices across five countries by 2030. Aaron Christie-David goes deep on the goal system Marty carries in his pocket and reads every single day, the four pillars he tells anyone to start with, and the ten resignations in two months that didn't break him. On property: Why he'd buy a family home in Melbourne today but not an investment Where his own money is going insteadThe four metrics he runs over every dealThe one question that exposes what an agent really thinks your home is worth. Then the honest part. The grind from 24 to 29 when he had no brand, no house and no credibility, the phone calls to his mum, and why he says he could not have built any of it without his wife Charlotte.

    Post-Budget Property Update: What Smart Investors Are Doing Now | Built Different Ep

    The budget broke the old playbook. This is the new one, with the numbers attached. MPA Top 100 Mortgage Broker Aaron Christie-David and the Atelier Wealth broking team on Australian property right now. A whole lending product gone. Lenders drowning in five times their normal volume. Borrowing strategies written twelve months ago that no longer apply. The team came in to answer one question: what still works? One property now costs $15,000 a year to hold, and everything follows from that. Aaron is joined by Bernadette Christie-David, Damien Walker and Nate Condie, answering listener questions with real figures attached. They cover the trust structure that can quietly undo itself on your credit file, and the cash flow number that stops most portfolios at three or four properties. The team then goes head to head on AMP's 40-year loan term with ten years interest only, Aaron makes his call on where this cycle bottoms and why it is a correction rather than a crash, and they close on a deposit product that has been on the market twelve months without anyone noticing. If you own one property and cannot see how the next one happens, or you are sitting on four and running out of serviceability, this is the one.
