Mortgage repayments are up 81%. The squeeze isn't easing, it's shifting, and Sam Gordon knows where it's heading next.   Sam joins Todd to break down three Australian markets primed for serious rental growth: Ballarat's sub-1% vacancy and lowest building approvals in a decade, Hobart sitting at 0.4% vacancy with a history of catching investors off guard, and Darwin's extraordinary infrastructure spend per capita driving demand while supply stays years away.   If you're wondering whether your suburb or your next investment is about to feel the pressure, this episode is a must watch.     🍕🏠 We want to hear your investor story!
