DEFENCE PROPERTY PODCAST: From DHOAS to rentvesting – unlocking smarter strategies for Defence investors

In this episode of the Defence Property Podcast, Kane Dury from Discover Buyers Agency and Liam Garman, editor of Smart Property Investment, tackle the property questions that Australian Defence Force members can't afford to ignore. They explore how the Reserve Bank of Australia's latest rate cut could impact borrowing capacity and why understanding these shifts early gives Defence buyers an edge. The duo emphasise the power of expert guidance – from mortgage brokers who compare multiple lenders to accountants and buyer's agents who know how to avoid costly traps. Dury also sheds light on the Defence Home Ownership Assistance Scheme (DHOAS) entitlements, explaining how both active and Reservist members can use them to unlock new investment opportunities. From the growing popularity of rentvesting to upcoming changes in first home buyer schemes, the episode equips ADF personnel with strategies to balance lifestyle and long-term wealth creation.
