    Why Australia NEEDS Negative Gearing | EP139 Motivate Property Podcast

    Is negative gearing really the reason Australians are struggling to afford a home? Or could removing it be making Australia's housing crisis even worse?In this episode of the Motivate Property Podcast, Corey Jones takes a deep dive into one of Australia's most controversial property debates: negative gearing, property investors and the growing housing affordability crisis.With interest rates rising, borrowing power shrinking and housing supply under increasing pressure, Corey questions whether current economic policies are helping everyday Australians or creating even bigger problems.He also addresses the growing criticism of property investors, challenges the idea that landlords are responsible for Australia's housing crisis, and explains why he believes private investment plays an essential role in providing housing.In this episode:- Why rising interest rates are putting pressure on Australian households- The impact of government policy on housing affordability and supply- Why property investors are increasingly being blamed for the housing crisis- What negative gearing actually means for everyday investors- Why Corey believes removing negative gearing could worsen housing shortages- The relationship between landlords, rental supply and housing demand- Why property ownership remains an important pathway to building wealth- Q&A: Should you sell your property after significant capital growth, or use the equity to invest again?Corey also answers a common question from property owners: If your property has doubled in value, should you sell and take the profit?He breaks down the costs of selling, the importance of understanding property cycles, and why accessing equity may offer an alternative strategy for building a long-term property portfolio.Whether you're a first-time investor, an experienced property owner or simply trying to understand what's happening in the Australian housing market, this episode offers a perspective on the policies and decisions shaping Australia's property future.Want to start building wealth through property?Motivate Property Group helps everyday Australians build long-term wealth through property with personalised investment strategies, research-backed acquisitions and ongoing mentorship.Subscribe to the Motivate Property Podcast for weekly conversations about Australian property, investment strategies, market trends and wealth creation.*The views expressed in this episode are those of the speaker.

    The Brick Shortage in Perth | Ep136 Motivate Property Podcast

    If you want a property strategy that accounts for where housing supply is really heading, book a call with Motivate Property 👉 https://www.motivateproperty.com.au/contact Australia's property market is going through a sentiment-driven pullback, not a structural crash and Corey breaks down why. Listings in WA have doubled year-on-year, rental stock is at record lows, and inflation is stuck at 3.6% with the RBA now signalling a rate rise. Corey explains why this combination doesn't add up to a genuine downturn, and why he believes the market is being set up for its sharpest growth phase yet. Then he gets into this week's core topic: Perth's brick shortage. With one kiln effectively supplying the whole state, builders are rationing supply and construction timelines are blowing out by 6-12 months. Corey lays out the three ways this plays out — and why he thinks WA's signature double-brick construction style is about to change for good. To close out, Corey answers the question he's been getting from clients constantly: is property investment dead now that negative gearing is gone? He breaks down what negative gearing actually is (and isn't), what it really costs to hold a property without it, and who ends up supplying Australia's rental housing if everyday investors step back. Here's what he dives into: ◼️ Why the current property market decline is sentiment-driven, not an organic downturn ◼️ Why WA now has double the property listings it had a year ago ◼️ How record-low rental stock is pushing rents up 10-30% ◼️ Why inflation stuck at 3.6% is pushing the RBA toward another rate rise — and what that does to borrowing power ◼️ Why Perth's brick shortage has builders rationing supply and bidding against each other ◼️ The three pathways forward: waitlists, new kilns entering the market, or a shift in construction style ◼️ Why WA's double-brick standard may be replaced by brick veneer, timber frame, steel frame or SIPs construction ◼️ What negative gearing actually is — and the myths currently circulating about it ◼️ The real weekly cost difference of holding an investment property with and without negative gearing ◼️ If not everyday Australians, who actually ends up supplying the country's rental housing Timestamps 00:00:00 - Why Corey's bringing the show back to its original, unscripted format 00:02:58 - Why this property market decline is sentiment-driven, not a real crash 00:13:02 - The "winner's curse" cycle theory — why the boom may not be over 00:15:07 - Rentals at record lows and why rents are still climbing 00:16:24 - Why the RBA is set to raise rates, and what it does to borrowing power 00:20:10 - The immigration and housing supply debate policymakers are avoiding 00:23:19 - Perth's brick shortage: why builders are rationing and bidding for bricks 00:27:07 - Pathway 1: what happens if nothing changes (12-month waitlists) 00:30:37 - Pathway 2: how the market fixes shortages by attracting new supply 00:34:40 - Pathway 3: why WA's construction styles are about to change 00:36:53 - Q&A: Is property investment dead now that negative gearing is gone?

    Why Landlords Will Always Be The Richest People In Society

    If you want a property strategy that helps you think like a landlord and build long-term wealth the right way, book a call with Motivate Property 👉 https://www.motivateproperty.com.au/contact In this episode, Cory breaks down why landlords will always be the wealthiest people in society, and why treating property ownership as something negative completely misses how the real economy works. He unpack Ricardo’s Law of Economic Rent, the four factors of production, and why the productive gains of society always flow back into land values first. Once you understand that, you stop thinking like a tenant, employee, or consumer, and start thinking like the person who owns the game board. Here's what he dive into: Why the idea that landlords are inherently harmful misses how value is actually created in society ◼️ How Ricardo’s Law of Economic Rent explains why landowners capture so much wealth over time ◼️ Why landlords are effectively paid before almost anyone else in the economy ◼️ The four factors of production and why most people ignore the most important one ◼️ How land, labour, capital, and enterprise all work together inside a business ◼️ Why productive gains from infrastructure and development flow back into surrounding land values ◼️ How owning land before an area develops creates massive long-term upside ◼️ Why businesses can only profit after land costs have already been paid ◼️ How commercial landlords indirectly benefit from the success of the businesses renting from them ◼️ Why premium locations force higher prices even when labour and equipment costs stay the same ◼️ How Monopoly is actually a useful model for understanding real wealth creation ◼️ Why becoming the landlord is one of the clearest paths to long-term financial leverage Timestamps 00:00:00 Introduction 00:00:39 Why landlords will always be the wealthiest people in society 00:01:10 Introducing Ricardo’s Law of Economic Rent 00:01:41 The four factors of production explained 00:02:36 Why land is the factor most people forget 00:03:20 How productive gains flow back into land values 00:04:30 Why buying land before development changes everything 00:05:16 Why landlords get paid before profit is even made 00:06:10 How commercial landlords benefit from the businesses inside their buildings 00:07:02 The Armadale versus Cottesloe barber shop example 00:08:31 Why land cost determines what a business can charge 00:09:24 How society’s gains keep funnelling back to the landlord 00:09:53 Why you should think like a landlord 00:10:18 What Monopoly teaches about real wealth creation 00:11:05 How infrastructure spending makes existing landowners richer 00:11:41 Why owning the asset changes your financial future Follow Motivate Property for more investing insights and updates: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/motivatepropertygroup/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/motivatepropertygroup TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@motivatepropertygroup LinkedIn (Personal): https://www.linkedin.com/in/corey-jones-34b43b105/ LinkedIn (Company): https://www.linkedin.com/company/motivate-property Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0W3Neb30Hy9JjNEQnZeRqP

    The Housing Supply Crisis: Why Australia Can't Build Fast Enough

    If you want a property strategy that accounts for where housing supply is really heading, book a call with Motivate Property 👉 https://www.motivateproperty.com.au/contact Australia’s housing shortage is often reduced to one simple answer, build more homes. But the reality is far more complicated. In this episode, Corey breaks down why the crisis cannot be fixed overnight and explores how lending restrictions, land release bottlenecks, urban densification disputes, trade shortages, builder red tape, taxes, and poor policy incentives are all combining to keep supply tight and push property prices higher. Here's what he dive into: ◼️ Why Australia’s housing shortage is being driven by multiple layers, not one simple policy failure ◼️ How the 3% servicing buffer has reduced investor borrowing power since the 2017 Royal Commission ◼️ Why debt-to-income policy limits are stopping some investors from supplying more housing ◼️ How developable land, not total landmass, is the real bottleneck in Australia ◼️ Why council red tape and infrastructure charges make many development projects unfeasible ◼️ How the battle between urban sprawl and densification is slowing practical housing delivery ◼️ Why trade shortages, especially in mining states, are worsening build timelines and costs ◼️ How immigration settings are increasing demand faster than the market can house people ◼️ Why GST, taxes, and building regulation are inflating contract prices across the whole supply chain ◼️ How recent policy changes around negative gearing and capital gains are disincentivising construction ◼️ Why all six problems together are keeping prices high and making balanced affordability harder to restore Timestamps 00:00:00 - Introduction 00:01:32 - Why Corey wants a more balanced market, not endless runaway growth 00:02:16 - How the 3% servicing buffer reduced borrowing power 00:03:28 - Why debt-to-income policy is limiting investor expansion 00:04:04 - The real problem with land supply in Australia 00:05:16 - Why development red tape is killing project feasibility 00:06:08 - Urban sprawl versus densification and the council war underneath it 00:07:39 - Why there are not enough trades to build what we need 00:08:32 - Why builder red tape, GST, and tax settings are driving up costs 00:10:01 - How tax changes are disincentivising property investment and new builds 00:10:57 - Why all six issues together keep supply constrained 00:11:41 - What this means for investors and where Corey sees the market heading Follow Motivate Property for more investing insights and updates: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/motivatepropertygroup/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/motivatepropertygroup TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@motivatepropertygroup LinkedIn (Personal): https://www.linkedin.com/in/corey-jones-34b43b105/ LinkedIn (Company): https://www.linkedin.com/company/motivate-property Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0W3Neb30Hy9JjNEQnZeRqP

    Build wealth through property, join the movement, book a call with my team here:https://www.motivateproperty.com.au/contact Property vs shares, which one actually builds wealth faster? In this episode, Corey Jones breaks down what the 2026 federal budget changes really mean for property investors, and why the "property vs shares" debate might be the wrong question entirely. Here's what he dive into: ◼️ Why the budget's negative gearing, CGT, and SMSF changes don't hurt true property investors ◼️ The hidden power of leverage, and why it beats the ASX's higher growth rate ◼️ A real numbers breakdown: $50k in shares vs $50k leveraged into property ◼️ How to reuse equity to snowball into shares, businesses, gold, crypto and more ◼️ Why banks will lend against land but not shares or Bitcoin ◼️ Ricardo's Law of Economic Rent, why landowners are always the wealthiest in society Timestamps 00:00:00 - Introduction 00:01:16 - Why the "property vs shares" debate is the wrong question 00:02:22 - Corey's quick answer: why you need both 00:03:00 - Is property still the best wealth vehicle in 2026? 00:03:53 - The power of leverage explained 00:04:46 - $50k in shares vs $50k leveraged into property (the numbers) 00:06:07 - Portfolio size vs rate of return: the two metrics that matter 00:06:47 - Using equity to buy shares, businesses, and more 00:08:12 - Why banks won't lend against shares or Bitcoin 00:09:07 - The four factors of production and where land fits in 00:09:47 - Ricardo's Law of Economic Rent: why landowners are always wealthiest Follow Motivate Property for more investing insights and updates: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/motivatepropertygroup/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/motivatepropertygroup TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@motivatepropertygroup LinkedIn (Personal): https://www.linkedin.com/in/corey-jones-34b43b105/ LinkedIn (Company): https://www.linkedin.com/company/motivate-property Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0W3Neb30Hy9JjNEQnZeRqP

    How many properties do you need to retire?

    If you want help building a property strategy that works in a housing market like this, book a call with my team here:https://www.motivateproperty.com.au/contact In this episode, I break down the biggest lie many property investors believe, which is that retiring through property means collecting as many properties as possible. I unpack why the right properties matter far more than the total number, why growth assets and cash flow assets play completely different roles, and how a smart investor can use a small number of well-structured assets to replace their income far faster than most people realise. I dive into: ◼️ Why more properties are not the goal and can actually push people further from freedom ◼️ How negative cash flow changes the math on the average Australian residential property ◼️ Why growth is the real reason most investors buy residential in the first place ◼️ How relying only on capital growth can leave investors asset rich but still unable to stop working ◼️ Why paying off standard residential homes for cash flow is too slow for most people ◼️ How a smarter strategy uses growth assets first and cash flow assets later ◼️ Why commercial property, short stay, co-living, NDIS, and overseas villas play a different role in a portfolio ◼️ How Corey uses real examples of equity recycling to create strong positive cash flow ◼️ Why the key questions are your target income and how aggressively you are prepared to invest ◼️ How a well-structured portfolio can replace median income with far fewer assets than people think 00:00:00 Why most investors think they need 10 to 20 properties to retire 00:00:45 Why the right properties matter more than the biggest portfolio 00:01:27 The real numbers behind a typical $1 million Australian house 00:02:11 Why negative cash flow only works if growth outruns the holding cost 00:03:02 The problem with relying only on growth to retire 00:03:49 Why paying off residential homes for rent alone is too slow 00:04:40 Growth first, cash flow later: the strategy Corey prefers 00:05:26 Real example: using Brisbane equity to fund a Bali villa 00:06:10 How four assets can replace a median income 00:06:43 Real example: using Perth equity to buy commercial property 00:07:33 How three residential properties can fund $120,000 a year in cash flow 00:08:06 The two questions that matter most before you invest 00:08:34 Why most people are collecting properties instead of following a strategy 00:08:52 Final invitation to reach out if your portfolio lacks a real plan Follow Motivate Property for more investing insights and updates: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/motivatepropertygroup/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/motivatepropertygroup TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@motivatepropertygroup LinkedIn (Personal): https://www.linkedin.com/in/corey-jones-34b43b105/ LinkedIn (Company): https://www.linkedin.com/company/motivate-property Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0W3Neb30Hy9JjNEQnZeRqP
