    Most Investors With Multiple Properties Are Making This One Debt Mistake

    A married couple came to us with six investment properties, a $5.5 million portfolio, and a buyer's agent telling them to buy three more. Our advice was the opposite: sell. Review your Portfolio on PropStac 👉: https://follio.com.au/propstac-waitlist/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode_96 Speak to a Qualified Property Advisor 👉: https://follio.com.au/contact-us/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode_96 In this property investment strategy session, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty walk through two real client portfolios and the exact moves they would make. From slashing a dangerous debt to income ratio to turning a cash flow drain into a self-funded asset, this episode shows how sophisticated investors reposition for long-term capital growth. Lachlan breaks down the numbers behind two very different investors: a six-property portfolio bleeding cash on regional assets, and a young Sydney couple trying to upgrade their family home. He explains how to read a debt to income ratio, when negative gearing stops making sense, and why he would pull equity out of Brisbane and Adelaide blue-chip assets to reposition into the Melbourne property market. If you are weighing capital growth against cash flow, this is the framework to make the call. What you'll learn: ✅ Why a 3% cash buffer and a 5.8x debt to income ratio is a danger zone, and how to fix it ✅ When to divest regional properties and which blue-chip assets to keep ✅ How a Melbourne unit complex delivered a 6.5% yield and a $600k equity uplift on day one ✅ The case for selling everything to upgrade a Sydney family home, and when to hold instead ✅ How to push your portfolio harder with a bigger cash buffer and higher cash flow Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: a strategy episode for experienced investors 02:48 Scenario one: reviewing a $5.5 million portfolio 05:24 The warning signs: debt-to-income and cash buffers 08:20 Why the advice was to sell the regionals 13:34 The Melbourne unit complex: $600K equity from day one 16:39 Cash flow forecasting and retirement income 18:00 Scenario two: a young Sydney family's portfolio 19:23 Sell everything and upgrade in Sydney now 22:55 The alternative strategy if you're not upgrading 27:01 Is this portfolio enough to retire on?

    Australian Buyer's Agencies Are Collapsing. Here's Why You Need To Be Careful

    Several buyer's agencies have collapsed in the past few weeks, and more are likely to follow. Lachlan Delahunty explains why it's happening, what separates the firms going under from the ones that will survive, and how to tell the difference before you hand anyone your money.

They talk through what actually makes a buyer's agency worth trusting, and why strategy matters far more than sales. Then into the seven-day market update across every capital. Sydney has now fallen for 14 consecutive weeks and is on track to approach the sharpest annual decline in 40 years, though the severity is starting to moderate and auction clearance rates are quietly recovering. Melbourne is falling more slowly, with its sub one million dollar market posting positive movement even as the top end drops. Brisbane's decline is accelerating into a wave of new supply, Adelaide is picking up pace against a backdrop of outbound migration, and Perth is still up strongly for the year despite its first back-to-back weekly falls. The episode closes on why the two-speed market is becoming a six or seven-speed one, and why knowing your local market has never mattered more. ✅ Why several buyer's agencies have collapsed and more are expected to ✅ The difference between a sales-led agency and a strategy-led one ✅ Why Lachlan sees an industry reset as overdue and healthy ✅ How to choose a buyer's agency you can actually trust ✅ Why both doomsayers and optimists think Follio is biased, and what that says ✅ Sydney's 14 straight weekly falls and the 40-year record it's approaching ✅ Why Melbourne's sub one million dollar market is holding up ✅ Brisbane's accelerating decline and the oversupply building behind it ✅ Adelaide, migration and the affordability ceiling ✅ Why the two-speed market is becoming a six-speed one Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: industry news and the weekly market update 01:38 Doomsayers versus optimists: why we get both 03:15 Markets within markets 07:34 Buying conditions: when is the right time to buy 10:42 The buyer's agency shakeout and how to pick one 16:41 Why the industry needs a reset 19:08 Market update: Sydney's 14th straight weekly fall 22:08 Melbourne, and the sub one million dollar market 24:46 Brisbane, and the oversupply building behind it 27:19 Perth, plus Adelaide and the six-speed outlook 29:15 Why the market is fracturing into many speeds About The Follio Property Podcast Each week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

    Major Banks Predicting 8% Crash Will Actually Cause Prices to Rise | Property Experts

    The Big Four banks just published their 2027 property forecasts, and they don't agree. ANZ is tipping falls across the board while CBA and Westpac are forecasting growth, a spread of nearly 10% on the same market. Free Investment Report 👉: https://441711975.hs-sites-ap1.com/follio-property-podcast-content-subscriber?utm_source=ep&utm_medium=94&utm_campaign=propstac Contact Us👉: https://follio.com.au/contact-us/?utm_source=ep&utm_medium=94&utm_campaign=contact_us The Big Four banks can't agree on Australia's 2027 property market, and the gap is staggering. One bank predicts a national house price crash while another forecasts solid growth. In this episode of the Follio Property Podcast, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down every major bank forecast for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, and reveal which prediction the data actually supports. Lachlan and Reece go beyond the headlines to expose why bank forecasts keep getting it wrong. They unpack the supply and demand dynamics driving each capital city, why interest rate cuts could trigger an instant rebound, and the real truth behind automated valuation models that could be overvaluing your property by up to 10%. What we cover in this video ✅ The complete 2027 forecasts from ANZ, NAB, CBA and Westpac, city by city ✅ Why there's a 10% gap between the most bearish and most bullish bank ✅ The interest rate trigger that could spark an immediate Sydney and Melbourne recovery ✅ Why automated valuations from banks and realestate.com.au are 5 to 10% overinflated ✅ The truth about negative equity and the 5% deposit scheme ✅ What the new SMSF lending restrictions mean for your property strategy Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: the banks warn of more price falls 01:48 ANZ: the only major forecasting falls across 2027 05:21 NAB, CBA and Westpac: a 10% spread in forecasts 06:30 Lachlan's call: why the worst may be behind us 10:37 The 5% deposit scheme and negative equity 11:09 Why the property valuations you see online are wrong 17:06 The Perth "price falls" article, fact-checked 21:10 How subdivision and new supply drag the median 23:33 Why new apartments don't always lower your value 25:27 The SMSF lending changes and the strategy pivot About The Follio Property Podcast Each week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

    Property Markets Hit Historic Ceiling: Here's Exactly How Far Prices Must Drop

    Last week was the worst week for the Australian property market in all of 2026, with Sydney alone down almost half a percent in seven days. But the more useful question is how far each market actually falls from here, and Lachlan Delahunty has the data to answer it. Real Estate Agent Callout 👉: [email protected] Access PropStac 👉: https://follio.com.au/propstac-waitlist/?utm_source=ep&utm_medium=93&utm_campaign=propstac Contact Us👉: https://follio.com.au/contact-us/ In the first of the new weekly market update, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down seven days of Cotality data across every capital city. They walk through Sydney's worst weekly fall on record this year, why prestige suburbs are being hit far harder than the affordable end, and why Melbourne's sub one million dollar market is running hot even as the median keeps sliding. The core of the episode is the affordability index, the share of the average wage consumed by the average mortgage, and how it predicts when a market tops out and how far it corrects. On today's numbers, Sydney sits well above its historical ceiling and would need to fall around 12% to return to it, while Melbourne sits well below its ceiling with real runway left. Lachlan also explains why Brisbane's run may be ending, why the end of the SMSF lending window may have driven this particular week, why he believes you shouldn't be selling into a falling market without a reason, and where the next cycle is likely to begin. What we cover: ✅ Why last week was the worst week for property in 2026 ✅ What Lachlan meant by "the worst is behind us," and what he now stands corrected on ✅ Sydney's worst weekly fall on record this year and why prestige is hurting most ✅ Why Melbourne's sub one million dollar market is one of the hottest in the country ✅ Brisbane hitting its affordability ceiling and the oversupply risk building ✅ Adelaide and Perth, and how the SMSF deadline may have shaped the week ✅ How the affordability index predicts exactly how far each market falls ✅ Why Sydney may need to fall around 12% while Melbourne has runway left ✅ The widening gap between house and unit prices and the opportunity it creates ✅ Why Melbourne may lead the next cycle, and why Follio stays cautious on Darwin Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: the worst week for Australian property in 2026 03:21 What "the worst is behind us" actually meant 05:49 Sydney: the worst weekly fall on record this year 07:28 Why the prestige markets are hurting most 08:44 Melbourne: why the sub one million dollar market runs hot 11:40 Brisbane: the wheels come off and the oversupply risk 13:09 Adelaide, Perth and the SMSF deadline effect 18:00 The affordability index: how far each market can fall 30:32 The cycle: why Melbourne may lead the next decade 33:46 Darwin: why Follio stays cautious About The Follio Property Podcast Each week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

    Lending Data Reveals What Banks Don't Want You to Know | Property Market Analysis

    New lending figures show investor activity down 8.6% and first home buyers still falling, and yet the more surprising story is where the price falls are actually landing: the most expensive suburbs, not the affordable ones. Join the PropStac Waitlist 👉: https://follio.com.au/propstac-waitlist/?utm_source=ep&utm_medium=92&utm_campaign=propstac Start you investment journery 👉: https://follio.com.au/contact-us/?utm_source=ep&utm_medium=92&utm_campaign=contact_us Three major data sets landed on the same day, and Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break all three down live. They start with the ABS lending figures to June, why the post-budget drop is smaller than expected but only captures half a month of the fallout, and why the next quarter will likely be far more significant. Lachlan also explains why banks losing volume could make debt easier to access over the next six to twelve months. From there they turn to the migration data, where permanent arrivals rose while short-term arrivals fell, and what a shift toward skilled migration means for housing and the economy. Then into the Cotality figures: how far each capital would fall in a downturn scenario, why Melbourne may be closer to its floor than any other market, and why the prestige end is taking a far bigger hit than the affordable end. They close on investor share by state, including Victoria at 41% and Tasmania at a striking 73%, and the case building around Melbourne heading into the Victorian election. What we cover: ✅ ABS lending data: investor activity down 8.6% and why the next quarter will be worse ✅ The RBA hold, easing US inflation, and the odds of one more rate rise this year ✅ Why banks losing market share could make borrowing easier soon ✅ Migration data: permanent arrivals up 7.8% while short-term arrivals fall ✅ Cotality peak prices and how far each capital would fall in a 20% downturn ✅ Why Melbourne may be near its floor and set to rebound fastest ✅ The two-speed economy across Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth ✅ Why prestige suburbs are falling four to five times faster than affordable ones ✅ Investor share by state: Victoria at 41% and Tasmania at 73% ✅ The Melbourne outlook heading into the Victorian election Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: three data releases in one day 01:02 ABS lending data: investor activity down 8.6% 03:40 The RBA hold, US inflation and the rate outlook 06:36 Migration data: permanent arrivals up, short-term down 09:48 Cotality: peak prices and the downturn scenarios 11:21 Why Melbourne may be near its floor 14:17 The two-speed economy: Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth 16:40 Why the prestige markets are falling fastest 21:18 Investor share by state: Victoria 41%, Tasmania 73% 22:12 The Melbourne outlook and the Victorian election About The Follio Property Podcast Each week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

    Major Banks Warn of Australia's Biggest Property Crash in 40 Years | Property Experts

    Every capital city is now flat or falling, some markets by more than 1.5% a month, and yet Lachlan Delahunty just put an offer on a unit complex in Melbourne. This episode is about why the two things aren't a contradiction. Get in touch 👉: https://follio.com.au/contact-us/?utm_source=ep&utm_medium=91&utm_campaign=contact_us Join the PropStac Waitlist 👉: https://follio.com.au/propstac-waitlist/?utm_source=ep&utm_medium=91&utm_campaign=contact_us Back in the studio together, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty work through the questions clients ask most often. They start with the big one: is now actually a good time to buy? Lachlan makes the case that the market is running at five different speeds, why buying into heavily falling markets is a mistake even when everyone is quoting "be greedy when others are fearful," and why a softer market is exactly where a disciplined buyer finds undervalued assets. From there they cover the real risk in investing outside your home state, and why the cost of doing so is usually dwarfed by the upside of buying in the right market. They break down the post-budget question of whether to upgrade your home or buy your first investment property, why units and townhouses have become far more compelling since the negative gearing changes, and what the latest KPMG forecast says about unit price growth. The episode closes on how couples with very different risk appetites can align on a single strategy. What we cover: ✅ Is now a good time to buy, and why "markets within markets" changes the answer ✅ Why buying into a falling market is different from buying selectively in a soft one ✅ The real risk of investing interstate, and why a $50K cost can be worth a far larger upside ✅ Why you don't invest to save tax or reduce your land tax bill ✅ Upgrading your home versus buying your first investment property after the budget ✅ Why units and townhouses have become more compelling since the negative gearing changes ✅ What the KPMG forecast predicts for unit price growth versus houses next year ✅ How replacement cost and undersupply support the case for units ✅ How couples with mismatched risk appetites can align using cash buffers and worst-case planning Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: client FAQs and the state of the market 02:50 Is now a good time to buy? 03:59 Why buying into falling markets is a mistake 05:54 The opportunity in a softer market: being selective 07:00 Interstate and cross-state investing risk 14:53 Upgrading your home versus your first investment property 19:48 Units and townhouses versus houses 21:48 The KPMG forecast: units to outperform houses next year 24:36 Aligning couples with different risk appetites About The Follio Property Podcast Each week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

    Property market getting worse & worse as rental crisis deepens | Property Experts

    Perth relies on private investors for 85% of its rental homes. Victoria just lost 642 in a single month, Queensland 332, and REIWA President Suzanne Brown explains why WA could be next. 📊 Join the PropStac Waitlist: https://follio.com.au/propstac-waitlist/?utm_source=ep&utm_medium=89&utm_campaign=youtube_propstac Discuss your portfolio 👉: https://follio.com.au/contact-us/?utm_source=ep&utm_medium=89&utm_campaign=youtube_contact In this episode of the Follio Property Podcast, host Reece Beddall sits down with Suzanne Brown, President of REIWA and Director of RentWest, with over 35 years of property experience across Western Australia. This is a deep dive into the Australian property market, investor sentiment, and the incoming rental reform set to reshape the WA rental market by next year. We unpack the East Coast investor exodus (Victoria lost 642 rental properties in a single month, Queensland lost 332), why Perth's 2% vacancy rate is already critically tight, and why no-grounds termination legislation, despite sounding tenant-friendly, could push more investors out of the rental pool and worsen the housing supply crisis for renters.

    Sydney's Worst Homeownership Collapse in 70 Years Has Begun | Property Experts

    The budget was meant to help first home buyers. Instead their activity fell from 66.7% to 54.9% while investor inquiries surged, and Sydney just hit its lowest homeownership rate since 1954. 📊 Join the PropStac Waitlist: https://follio.com.au/propstac-waitlist/?utm_source=ep&utm_medium=88&utm_campaign=youtube Get in touch 👉: https://follio.com.au/contact-us/?utm_source=ep&utm_medium=88&utm_campaign=youtube_contact_us The Australian property market just got flipped on its head. In this post-budget Follio Property Podcast breakdown, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty expose the dangerous surge in investor activity, the collapse in first home buyer participation, Sydney's worst homeownership rate since the 1950s, and why negative gearing changes are forcing every investor to rethink their strategy immediately. The latest federal budget was supposed to help first home buyers. Instead, investor activity in new builds has exploded by 76%, first home buyer participation has dropped 12%, and Sydney's owner-occupier rate has fallen to 59.9%, the lowest since 1954. Reece and Lachlan dissect four major AFR articles, unpack the data, and explain why this budget's unintended consequences are pushing the market toward oversupply in the wrong areas, price deflation, and a generation of buyers locked out of homeownership. They also break down a real investor couple's portfolio, calling out the "unsophisticated" plays and giving blunt, non-generic advice on what to hold, what to sell, and what to run from. What You'll Learn: ✅ Why first home buyer activity crashed from 66.7% to 54.9% and how government data hides the truth ✅ The 76% surge in investor house-and-land inquiries and why it signals a repeat of the COVID building boom and bust ✅ How outer-fringe new builds risk becoming oversupplied "ghetto areas" with 90% tenancy and zero capital growth ✅ Sydney's homeownership collapse: 59.9% rate, $1.26M median, and a 65% affordability index that made a correction inevitable ✅ Why Perth and Brisbane are fundamentally different from Sydney and Melbourne, wages, undersupply, and where the resilience actually is.. ✅ Australia's 13 million empty bedrooms: why baby boomers can't downsize and what tax policy could actually fix it ✅ Negative gearing changes post-budget: the complete strategy rethink every property investor needs right now ✅ Real portfolio teardown: Cairns commercial, Cranbourne, and Bendigo, which asset is a "triple threat" to exit immediately Timestamps: 00:00 The post-budget picture: investors up, first home buyers down 04:00 Simonds reports a 76% spike in investor inquiries 06:00 Outer-fringe oversupply and the building quality risk 08:00 Why first home buyers have stepped back 09:40 Sydney homeownership hits 59.9%, lowest since 1954 11:48 Sydney's $1.26M median and the 65% affordability ceiling 12:40 Perth and Brisbane versus Sydney: why they diverge 14:30 13 million empty bedrooms and the downsizing problem 20:00 Negative gearing and the strategy rethink 21:20 Real portfolio teardown: Cairns, Cranbourne and Bendigo About The Follio Property Podcast Each week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

    The Buyer's Agent Industry Exposed: What They Don't Want You to Know | ft PK Gupta

    Is the rise of buyer's agents actually putting the Australian property market at risk? PK Gupta has built a community around a straightforward argument: most Australian investors do not need a buyer's agent. Reece Beddall argue’s a case against. This is the conversation that followed. Book Your FREE Investment Assessment 👉:https://follio.com.au/contact-us/?utm_source=ep&utm_medium=87&utm_campaign=youtube_contactus 📊 Join the PropStac Waitlist: https://follio.com.au/propstac-waitlist/?utm_source=87&utm_medium=propstac&utm_id=ep In this episode of the Follio Property Podcast, host Reece Beddall sits down with property investment expert PK Gupta to break down why the buyer's agent boom could be distorting prices in key suburbs, how tax reform proposals around negative gearing and capital gains tax will actually impact investors, and why affordable regional markets may be the smartest play for the next decade. PK Gupta brings a contrarian perspective on the Australian property landscape in 2026. Rather than relying on buyer's agents, he champions a DIY approach to property investment built on data interpretation, qualitative research, and understanding the macro forces that actually move markets. The discussion covers everything from oil shocks and inflation to why over 50% of Gold Coast properties above $2 million are purchased with cash, and what that signals for everyday investors trying to enter the market. If you have been wondering whether negative gearing changes will tank your portfolio, whether Perth and Darwin still have room to run, or how to identify the next affordable growth corridor before the crowd arrives, this conversation delivers the data-backed answers. ✅ Why PK believes limiting negative gearing to two properties will not move house prices ✅ What university modelling suggests about reducing the CGT discount from 50% ✅ Inflation, oil shocks and 17% interest rates, and why Australian house prices still rose through all three ✅ PK's affordable regional picks for 2026 to 2028: Bendigo, Ballarat, Hobart, Launceston, Geelong, Newcastle, Mackay and Townsville ✅ Why Darwin's current cycle may be more sustainable than its last one ✅ The Angle Vale case study: how concentrated investor demand moved a suburb ✅ Why the same data everyone can access still produces very different results ✅ Speculative assets inside SMSFs and why the structure demands the opposite ✅ Whether the multi property landlord is finished, and PK's view on the sliding scale Timestamps: 00:00 - Buyer's Agents: Necessity or Dangerous Crutch? 02:22 - Negative Gearing Reform: Why It Won't Impact House Prices 04:05 - Inflation, Oil Shocks & 17% Rates: Property Still Doubled 07:50 - PK's Affordable Regional Picks for 2026-2028 11:22 - Darwin's Boom: Why This Cycle Is Structurally Different 15:22 - The Dark Side of Buyer's Agents: Data Distortion Exposed 20:52 - Democratized Data: Why You Don't Need a Buyer's Agent 27:26 - Angle Vale Case Study: How Investors Move Entire Suburbs 33:20 - SMSF Danger Zone: Speculative Assets vs Blue-Chip Strategy 35:45 - The End of Multi-Property Landlords?

    Borrowing Capacity After the 2026 Budget: Michael Killiner on Negative Gearing, CGT and Debt Recycling

    Lending has tightened sharply since the 2026 Budget, and the investors who understand the new rules will be positioned to buy while others sit out. Michael Killiner, Director of Tusk Finance, joins Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty to break down what the negative gearing and capital gains tax changes actually mean for borrowing capacity, serviceability and cash flow. This is the most significant lending shakeup Australian property investors have faced since the interest-only caps of 2017, and most of it is happening quietly inside bank policy rather than in the headlines. Michael covers how lenders are now assessing rental income, why first home buyer lodgments have fallen since the Budget and how the guarantee scheme backfired, the real cash flow position on a $700,000 investment property, and the everyday commitments quietly destroying loan applications. He also explains why negative gearing is not gone so much as delayed, how debt recycling still works in 2026, and how to structure offset accounts and lending across major and non-bank lenders for the current environment.

    We Analysed 50 Properties So You Don't Have To | The Results Will Shock You

In this episode of the Follio Property Podcast, we run a "Compare The Pair" analysis across 50 randomly selected properties in Brisbane, Perth, and Melbourne, stacking established houses, boutique units, house and land packages, and high-rise apartments against each other over the last 7–10 years. The data is brutal. If you own the wrong asset type in the wrong city, you are not just underperforming, you are going backwards while inflation eats your equity. We break down exactly which property types delivered the highest capital growth returns, why boutique units in Perth exploded at 23.3% compounding, and how Melbourne Docklands apartments have set investors back decades with losses ranging from $13,000 to $125,000. This is not theory, these are real asset performances tracked by a buyers agency managing hundreds of client portfolios. Whether you are building a property portfolio, a first home buyer trying to get in, or an experienced investor reviewing your strategy, the gap between the best and worst asset types in the Australian property market has never been wider. What we've covered in this:✅ Established Houses vs House and Land - Melbourne houses compounded at 7% while house and land packages limped at 1.6%. Brisbane saw the tightest spread (14.3% vs 12.9%) driven by post-Covid replacement cost inflation, but that anomaly is not expected to continue.✅ The Boutique Unit Outperformance - Perth units delivered 23.3% capital growth vs 12% for houses. Brisbane units hit 15.3%. These are smaller complexes (15 or less, 2–3 levels, with parking) in blue-chip land-locked suburbs; scarcity drives the outperformance.✅ The Melbourne Apartment Disaster - Off-the-plan high-rise apartments returned -1.3% compounding. With inflation at 3%, investors in Docklands and Southbank lost real wealth. Specific losses ranged up to $125,000 on resale.Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction & Why This Data Matters 04:42 Established Houses06:12 House & Land Packages08:38 High-Rise Apartments11:33 Boutique Units12:53 Docklands Losses Up to $125,000 13:51 Why Scarcity Dictates Capital Growth 15:08 Is Melbourne Turning a Corner or Still Trapped? 17:41 Blue-Chip Land-Locked Suburbs vs CBD Towers 18:26 $30K to $500K Profit Examples About The Follio Property PodcastEach week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

    Should You Buy Now Or Wait? | Ultimate Property Investment Strategy in Australia, 2026

    Book Your FREE Investment Assessment 👉: https://follio.com.au/contact-us/?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_id=Episode+82📊 National Investment Report: https://441711975.hs-sites-ap1.com/follio-property-podcast-content-subscriber?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_id=Episode+82The Australian property market is splitting in two, and most investors are too scared to move. While Sydney and Melbourne show macro decline, smart money is buying at 60% under replacement cost in the micro markets that are quietly running. In this episode of the Follio Property Podcast, Lachlan Delahunty and Reece Beddall walk through four real client case studies, a Sydney unit owner, a Melbourne rentvestor, a leveraged investor, and a near retiree, with four completely different answers to the same question: is now the time to buy?What makes this episode critical is the post-budget lens. Negative gearing changes, the SMSF debate, and Australia's unique interest rate cycle have made property investment more complex than it has been in years.

If you think the Australian property market has locked out your generation, this episode will challenge everything you believe about getting started.At just 20 years old, with no financial safety net and a casual income that banks repeatedly dismissed, she made her first property purchase and has not stopped since. Now sitting at nine properties and a tenth settling, her portfolio approach to property investment in Australia is built on a cash flow focus, dual occupancy conversions, rooming house models, and relentless equity reuse, strategies that most first home buyers and investors are never told about.In this episode of the Follio Property Podcast, Emma walks through every major decision in her property portfolio journey in Australia. She also reveals the lending battle that nearly derailed her portfolio and how discovering alt-doc financing through a specialist mortgage broker became the turning point in her entire real estate investing journey.Whether you are a first-home buyer trying to get a foothold in the Australian property market, an investor looking to scale a cash-flow-positive portfolio, or simply someone trying to understand how to invest in property in Australia on a realistic income, Emma's story is one of the most instructive case studies you will find anywhere in Australian property investment.*This episode was filmed prior to the Federal Budget announcement.*TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Introduction03:42 First Property at 20: Broke, Casual Wage, Banks Said No04:46 Second Property: Dual Tenancy and Levelling Up in Adelaide Hills06:39 Emma's Investment Strategy: Why She Buys Like an Owner-Occupier10:18 Rentvesting Explained: Did Emma Use It?14:27 The Lending Problem: Why Banks Rejected Her Airbnb Income14:59 The Mortgage Broker Advantage: Why Specialist Brokers Change Everything20:00 Self-Managing, Cash Buffers, and Keeping the Portfolio Running22:36 The Core Strategy: Renovate, Build Equity, Repeat23:28 The Rooming House Model: Maximum Yield, Affordable Living26:15 How This Strategy Hedges Against CGT and Negative Gearing Reform28:11 Advice for Gen Z and Millennials Who Feel Locked OutFollow Emma Roberts: Business: https://borrowwell.com.au/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heyemmaroberts/About The Follio Property PodcastEach week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

In this episode of the Follio Property Podcast, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down exactly which asset classes will thrive and which will burn your cash in a post-budget market where negative gearing benefits have been slashed and borrowing capacity has dropped by $200,000.If you're investing in Australian property in 2026, the rules have changed. The RBA has held rates at 4.35% with inflation still running too hot, and the recent Federal Budget has reshaped the playbook for property investors across Australia. Banks are already lowering fixed mortgage rates, signalling rate cuts ahead but the real story is how the budget's changes to negative gearing are transforming buyer behaviour across the Australian housing market.In this episode, Lachlan Delahunty and Reece Beddall analyse the asset classes that matter right now: houses versus units versus apartments, land banking strategies, regional property markets, and commercial property investing. Lachlan defines the critical distinction between units and apartments (high-rise airspace with no scarcity).What You'll Learn:✅ Why the 2026 Budget has made land banking strategies far less viable for Australian property investors ✅ The critical difference between units and apartments and why it determines your capital growth ✅ How negative gearing changes have reduced borrowing capacity by up to $200,000 ✅ Why regional and lifestyle property markets face the most pain post-budget ✅ The hidden traps in commercial property yields and how to verify advertised returns ✅ Which asset classes Lachlan Delahunty recommends in a high-rate, post-budget environment ✅ The replacement cost argument that makes units at $450K more attractive than building at $850K+Timestamps:00:00 Introduction02:14 RBA Holds at 4.35% & Investors Sentiment Shift05:32 Land Banking & Upgrade Sites: No Longer Viable07:34 $200K Borrowing Capacity Wipeout08:43 New Post-Budget Playbook: Location, Land, Asset Type10:49 Units vs Apartments Defined11:12 Why Units Are Outperforming Houses16:35 Regional & Lifestyle Markets Face the Most Pain22:52 Commercial Property Yield TrapsAbout The Follio Property PodcastEach week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

    Australia's Government Is Quietly Engineering a Housing Collapse | Property Experts

    Book Your FREE Investment Assessment 👉: https://follio.com.au/contact-us/?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_id=Episode+79📊 National Investment Report: https://441711975.hs-sites-ap1.com/follio-property-podcast-content-subscriber?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_id=Episode+79Australia just added 478,000 people in a single year while building only 175,000 new homes. The math doesn't work, and the result is the worst rental crisis in living memory. Leith Onselen joins the Follio Property Podcast to break down exactly why Labor's migration policy is crushing the Australian housing market, how the federal government's addiction to personal income tax revenue is driving the crisis, and the three policy changes that could turn it all around.In this episode, Leith Van Onselen delivers a comprehensive takedown of Australia's economic management. He argues that running migration "at just the most obscene rate into a supply restricted market" has crushed living standards and productivity, with per capita GDP going backwards in 10 of the last 15 quarters. The core problem is structural: 52% of federal revenue comes from personal income taxes, so Canberra has every incentive to pump population growth while the states carry the infrastructure bill. Onselen unpacks how the student visa system has become a backdoor migration channel, why parental visas cost taxpayers nearly $400,000 each, and how Australia's energy policy is accelerating deindustrialization at exactly the wrong time. For anyone invested in Australian property or simply trying to understand why rents keep climbing, this conversation connects the dots between immigration numbers, housing supply, and the political machinery that keeps the whole system running.In this episode, you’ll get to know:✅ The real numbers behind Australia's housing shortage: 478,000 arrivals vs 175,000 new homes✅ Why 10 of the last 15 quarters have seen negative per capita GDP growth despite overall economic growth✅ How the federal government's 52% income tax dependency fuels the migration machine✅ The student visa trade exposed: how it became a backdoor migration channelTimestamps:00:00 478,000 Migrants vs 175,000 Homes: Australia's Housing Crisis Equation05:41 Why the Australian Housing Market Is Trapped by 52% Income Tax Dependency12:30 Australia's Energy Policy Is Crashing Productivity and House Prices20:05 Why Under 130,000 Arrivals Could Save the Australian Property Market22:41 The Energy Overhaul That Could Reverse the Rental Crisis24:14 Norway vs Australia: How Sovereign Wealth Could End the Housing Shortage28:29 The Real Reason Rents Keep Rising: State vs Federal Cost-Shifting ExplainedFollow Leith Van Onselen:YouTube:  @Leithvo  Business: https://www.macrobusiness.com.au/About The Follio Property PodcastEach week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

    Sydney's Best Buying Window in 15 Years Just Opened | Property Experts

Grab your FREE report from Australia's leading property experts and discover what's coming next.Sydney house prices are falling at the fastest rate since 2018 and the government isn't trying to stop it. In this episode, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty along with Redom Syed expose why the Australian government is betting on a Sydney property market correction before 2026 and why the next 6–12 months could be the best buying window Sydney has seen in 15 years.The Sydney property market in 2026 is shifting faster than most buyers and investors realise. House prices now sit at $1.6 million, down 4% in the last quarter alone, with auction clearance rates falling below 50% for the first time in years. This isn't just another cycle. Three rate rises, a government clampdown on investor lending, and post-budget uncertainty have combined to trigger what could become an 8%-plus aggregate price decline for Sydney. Borrowing power has fallen 30–40% over five years, and consumer confidence sits at historic lows. For Australian property investors and first-home buyers sitting on the sidelines, the question isn't whether Sydney will fall further, it's whether you'll recognise the window when it's open. The underlying housing shortage hasn't disappeared. Migration rates remain high. And the affordability index, which peaked at 61.5% in mid-2024 and now sits in the low 50s, is approaching levels that historically precede market rebounds. In this episode, we will cover:✅ The budget created "a bigger impact than the policy measures" ✅ The $2M–$5M trap✅ Auction clearance rates ✅ The affordability index✅ Borrowing power: how a decline changes things✅ The tale of 2–3 cities inside Sydney✅ Why Sydney's 2018 15% decline is the template for what happens next Timestamps:00:00 - Sydney Enters Buyer's Territory02:25 - Budget Fallout: Uncertainty Is the Real Weapon05:24 - 85% of Sellers At A Loss 10:21 - Affordability Index: The Metric That Predicts the Bottom16:58 - The 2018 15% Decline 18:09 - The $1 Trillion Wealth Wipeout 21:18 - Consumer Confidence, RBA Policy & Rate Cuts29:21 - Auction Clearance Rates33:04 - Spring 26: The Best Buying Window in 15 Years41:41 - Where Smart Money MovesAbout The Follio Property PodcastEach week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

    Australia's Biggest Property Crash in 40 Years Has Already Begun | Property Experts

He reveals exactly why falling borrowing capacity, poorly timed tax policy, and a looming recession are set to push property prices down by up to 10% across major capitals.The Australian real estate market has reached a dangerous inflection point. With the RBA at its highest cash rate in 15 years and investor borrowing capacity slashed by up to 30%, the widening gap between soaring property prices and the real capacity to pay cannot hold. The capital gains tax, property Australia reforms and negative gearing changes have landed at the worst possible moment, piling more downward pressure onto a market already at its cyclical peak.Australia is tracking dangerously close to New Zealand's trajectory, where identical policy changes triggered a sharp property crash before the incoming government reversed course. The 25-year supercycle of rising property values relative to incomes is likely over. Brisbane sits at its most overvalued level in 50 years relative to other capitals. The Melbourne property market is the cheapest major capital in 50 years. Consumer sentiment is near 50-year lows, construction costs are up 40% since the pandemic, and rental vacancy rates have hit their lowest point in recorded history.What you'll learn in this episode: ✅ Why Australia is heading for its biggest property correction in 40 years ✅ How capital gains tax and negative gearing changes have crushed investor borrowing capacity by up to 30%✅ The New Zealand precedent and what it signals for Australian property investment in 2025 ✅ Brisbane vs Melbourne: which capital is dangerously overvalued and which presents the hidden opportunity ✅ Why surging construction costs are deepening the rental crisis and stifling new supply ✅ What RBA rate cuts will and will not save for property investorsTimestamps:00:00 - Australia's Biggest Property Correction in 40 Years01:35 - Capital Gains Tax & Negative Gearing: The Policy Shock04:25 - The New Zealand Precedent12:21 - What Actually Moves Property Prices17:07 - Credit Availability & Borrowing Capacity Collapse19:14 - RBA Rate Cuts & Recession Risk24:29 - Brisbane vs Melbourne: Which Market Wins?33:15 - Is This Worse Than 2018?45:48 - Rental Crisis & Construction Collapse50:04 - Wrap Up & Part 2 PreviewFollow Leith Van Onselen:YouTube:  @Leithvo  Business: https://www.macrobusiness.com.au/About The Follio Property PodcastEach week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

Melbourne posted a 0.7% fall, with clearance rates struggling at 53%.

Property expert Josh Coleman joins the Follio Property Podcast to reveal exactly why the combination of budget policy changes, investor-heavy buyer pools, and the collapse of the "greater fool theory" is about to reset regional values across Australia.The Australian property market 2026 looks radically different for anyone holding regional assets compared to just 18 months ago. Josh Coleman maps out the risk profile of every major Queensland regional market using hard data. Markets like Gladstone and Mackay, where investor transactions dominate at over 70%, have been propped up by speculative buyer chains rather than genuine occupier demand.The housing market in Australia 2026 is not uniformly at risk. Townsville, with its defence spending and diversified economy, carries a different risk profile to Mackay. Toowoomba's metropolitan character provides another buffer. But for most pure regional markets across Queensland property market corridors, the expert warning is clear: reduce exposure before the Senate finalises the policy.What we have covered in this episode:✅ Why regional Queensland is the highest-risk asset class in Australia right now ✅ The policy double-hit: losing both negative gearing AND capital gains benefits simultaneously ✅ How Gladstone and Mackay rely on speculative investor chains with no owner-occupier floor ✅ Why Townsville is more resilient than Mackay despite both being regional markets TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Intro 01:38 Post-Budget Sentiment: How Clients, Agents and Media Are Reacting 07:51 The Biggest Risks for Investors Under the New Conditions 08:21 Why Regional Markets Are the Most Dangerous Play Right Now 15:09 House and Land Packages and the Greenfield Estate Trap 17:35 Gold Coast: Boom, Bust and the Off-the-Plan Danger 20:42 Sunshine Coast vs Gold Coast: Which Market Has a Floor 23:42 Brisbane Post-Budget: Olympics Hype vs Structural Reality 24:03 Brisbane Eastern Suburbs: Why the Smart Money Is Here 27:19 Brisbane Market Segmentation: Which Tier to Target in 2026 33:38 Where to Invest in Brisbane Right Now 34:20 The Next Buyer Framework: How to Think About Your Exit Strategy Follow Josh Coleman:BuyWise: https://www.buywiseproperty.com.au/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshua-coleman-3334ba27/About The Follio Property PodcastEach week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

And if history repeats and the data says it will, the Australian property market is entering its most volatile period since 1985.In this episode, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty cut through the political noise with hard data and zero opinion. Drawing on $687M+ in real property transactions and two of the most powerful historical case studies in Australian real estate, the 1985 Hawke-Keating era and New Zealand's 2021 experiment, they reveal exactly who wins, who loses, and the only property investment strategy that survives Budget 2026.This isn't commentary. This is the data most property experts won't show you.The last time Australia scrapped negative gearing, rents surged 30% in capital cities within 2 years. Sydney and Brisbane prices jumped 60%. Perth hit 100%. New Zealand did the same in 2021, and rents rose 30% before the policy was reversed in 2023. The pattern is undeniable. For mum-and-dad investors relying on the old "buy, hold and hope" model, this budget is a wakeup call. The gap between sophisticated investors and passive ones just got significantly wider.

    Negative Gearing, CGT & New Builds: Every Budget Question Answered | Property Experts

    📥 FREE DOWNLOAD: 2026 Budget Property Investor Report: https://441711975.hs-sites-ap1.com/follio-property-podcast-content-subscriber?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=Episode+65&utm_id=podcastThe 2026 Federal Budget just changed the rules for every property investor in Australia and most people have NO idea what it actually means for their borrowing power, their capital gains, or their next move in the investment property Australia game.The Federal Budget has delivered some of the most significant shifts to property taxes Australia has seen in decades, and if you own, plan to buy, or are currently building a Property portfolio, you need to understand what has changed and what it costs you.Negative gearing in Australia just got gutted for established properties. Capital gains tax on property in Australia now comes with a mandatory 30% minimum rate, replacing the old 50% discount with inflation-adjusted indexation. And for investors on a $150,000 salary? Your borrowing capacity just took a $350,000 hit.But here's what the headlines won't tell you: this budget doesn't kill Australian real estate investment, it reshapes it. Smart investors are already pivoting to units, infill developments, and the "accidental landlord" strategy that the budget accidentally made MORE powerful. Reece and Lachlan expose exactly where the opportunities are hiding, which markets are about to get smashed, and why the property market in Australia is about to split into two very different worlds, one for those who adapt, and one for those who don't.If you're a first-home buyer in Australia, a seasoned investor, or sitting on an existing portfolio, wondering what to do next, this is the most important 40 minutes you'll spend this year.In this episode, we’ll cover:✅ Why Labor's budget could slash your borrowing capacity by $200K-$700K✅ The END of negative gearing on established properties, what it really means✅ How the new 30% minimum capital gains tax rate targets retirees and self-funded investors00:00 The 3 Budget Changes That Hit Property Investors Hardest02:20 Grandfathering Rules Explained: Is Your Existing Property Safe?05:16 Who Are the Real Losers?

Are you one of the millions of Australians quietly drowning in mortgage debt and nobody is telling you the real reason why? In this episode of the Follio Property Podcast, leading mortgage broker Chris Bates exposes the single lending mistake that locks Australian homeowners into financial traps for over a decade and what the government's tightening rules are quietly doing to your property investment future. If you own property in Australia, or plan to, this is the most important conversation you'll watch this year. The Australian property market is shifting fast, and the rules of real estate investing have changed dramatically. Borrowing capacity has collapsed from 14x income to just 5x, vacancy rates sit at a brutal 1%, and thousands of homeowners are now mortgage prisoners, trapped with lenders like Pepper Money and Liberty Financial, unable to refinance, unable to sell without losing everything. Chris Bates has spent his career advising homeowners, first home buyers, and seasoned investors on how to navigate one of the most complex home loan environments in Australian history. His core warning: "Property is as much a debt game as it is a property game." If you don't understand how to protect your borrowing capacity, your most valuable financial asset, the market will punish you. This isn't doom and gloom. It's the financial literacy blueprint that separates the investors who ride the wave from the ones who get wiped out by it. 🎯 In This Episode You'll Discover: ✅ The #1 mortgage mistake that creates "mortgage prisoners" and how to avoid it at all costs ✅ Why overleveraging your home loan could set your property investment back a full decade ✅ The hidden danger of non-bank lenders (Pepper, Liberty) and what happens when credit tightens ✅ How to protect your borrowing capacity like "gunpowder" and when to use it strategically ✅ Why first home buyers in Australia are making the same catastrophic mistake repeatedly Timestamps: 00:00 The Brutal Truth About Mortgage Debt 02:00 Why Most Mortgage Advice Is Broken 08:10 Property Is a Debt Game, Not a Property Game 09:30 How Lending Collapsed From 14x to 5x Income 15:25 Mortgage Prisoners: Trapped With No Way Out 18:50 SMSF Warning: The Regional Asset Trap 20:55 Social Media Gurus & The ASIC Crackdown 24:50 The Rental Crisis Nobody Is Talking About 27:55 Government Schemes & What They're Really Doing to Prices 28:55 Final Thoughts & Wrap Up Follow Chris Bates: LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopherbates/ Business: https://www.alcove.com.au/ Each week, Reece Beddall & Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

In this episode of the Follio Property Podcast, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty reveal why 60-70% of Australian investor portfolios they review have capital sitting in the wrong assets or the wrong locations and most owners have no idea. With Westpac flagging three more back-to-back rate rises and real headwinds building for the Australian property market in 2026, the investors who thrive won't be the ones who buy more they'll be the ones who optimise what they already own. And then there's the CGT reform that's quietly reshaping investor decision-making. Is the proposed cut from 50% to 33% a reason to hold or the signal to act? The answer might surprise you. If you're sitting on one, two, or three investment properties and wondering whether you're truly getting the most out of them, this episode gives you the exact checklist to find out.

And what happens after Perth's median house price hits $1 million? In this episode of the Follio Property Podcast, Reece Beddall sits down with Shane Beaumont from Haiven Property Group to break down the exact forces driving Perth's unprecedented price surge in 2026. From shrinking home open crowds to Eastern States investors locking in $300,000 $400,000 gains, this episode maps out where the Perth Housing Market is heading and how fast. The panic buying of 2024 is gone, replaced by a calculated Seller's Market where inventory is rising but demand still dominates. Shane reveals why that distinction matters enormously for anyone buying, selling, or holding property in Perth this year and why the $2M+ bracket is already flashing Warning Signs while entry-level suburbs keep climbing. For the first time, Perth's prestige suburbs Dalkeith, Mosman Park, Cottesloe are being called the cheapest luxury real estate markets in the world. Meanwhile, undervalued pockets like Gosnells, Rockingham, and Cannington are quietly delivering the strongest returns for investors who know where to look.

With property prices soaring 13% last year and interest rates squeezing borrowing capacity, the 2026 market is no longer doing the "heavy lifting" for investors. 📊 EXCLUSIVE ACCESS: THE NATIONAL INVESTMENT REPORT (MARCH 2026) We have just launched our most comprehensive deep dive into the 2026 Australian property landscape. 👉 To get first access, click the link here: https://441711975.hs-sites-ap1.com/follio-property-podcast-content-subscriber ?utm_source=ep+50&utm_medium=youtube&utm_id=podcastIn this episode of The Folio Property Podcast, Reece Beddall & Lachlan Delahunty scrap the planned agenda to have a raw, honest conversation about what actually works in a high-interest environment. They break down the death of "Lazy Investing", the habit of buying an asset and simply hoping for market growth, and introduce the Active Value-Add Playbook. From turning "derelict sheds" into high-yielding granny flats to the math behind the 90% Land-to-Asset ratio, this episode is a blueprint for anyone feeling "handicapped" by their current income or borrowing limits. If you want to see 120% returns while your neighbours see 60%, you need to stop waiting for the market and start activating your assets. In This Episode You’ll Learn: The Death of Lazy Investing: Why buying within 5km of your house without a strategy is a recipe for stagnation in the next 5 years. The 80/20 Land Rule: Why value-add investors should look for properties where 80-90% of the value is in the land, and how to spot them. The "Stage-Prong" Renovation: How to use natural market uplift to pull equity and fund your own "artificial" value-add. Serviceability Secrets: How a $50/week rent increase can unlock the "debt trap" and allow you to buy your next property sooner. Retain & Subdivide Strategy: Why you should activate subdivision approvals immediately (even if you don't build) as a "rainy day" insurance policy. The "Mom & Dad" Mistake: Why over-renovating a rental in year one is a $50,000 mistake that most investors don't see coming.

    Why Rentvesting Beats Home Ownership in 2026 | The Australian Housing Strategy by Property Experts

    Is Rentvesting the "Secret Weapon" of 2026, or is the PPOR "Handbrake" Killing Your Portfolio? 📊 EXCLUSIVE ACCESS: THE NATIONAL INVESTMENT REPORT (FEB 2026)We are launching a monthly deep dive into Australian property investing.👉 To get first access click the link here: https://441711975.hs-sites-ap1.com/follio-property-podcast-content-subscriber?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=rentvesting&utm_id=Episode+47 In this episode of The Follio Property Podcast, Reece Beddall & Lachlan Delahunty tackle the ultimate 2026 dilemma: should you buy the "Aussie Dream" home (PPOR) or become a strategic Rentvestor? With the property ladder harder to climb than ever, getting this first step wrong can set your wealth-building journey back by half a decade. We pull back the curtain on the "PPOR Handbrake", the common mistake of over-leveraging on a personal residence and crippling your serviceability. Lachlan breaks down why he prefers Location Quality over Asset Quality, explaining why a "B-grade" villa in an "A-grade" suburb beats a house in a speculative regional town every single time. Whether you are a first-time investor entering an "Aggressive Accumulation Phase" or a homeowner trying to understand why your bank won't let you go again, this episode is your strategic blueprint for the current market. In This Episode You’ll Learn: The PPOR Handbrake: Why buying your "forever home" too early is the #1 mistake that kills serviceability and stops a portfolio in its tracks. The Rentvesting Edge: How to use rental income and tax benefits to stay aggressive in the market while maintaining your lifestyle. The 3 Accumulation Phases: A breakdown of the property lifecycle, from your first three "cornerstone" assets to the eventual upgrade phase. Location vs. Asset: Why you should hunt for B or C-grade assets (villas/units) in A-grade locations rather than chasing "sugar hits" in remote regionals. 2026 Debt Traps: Why car loans, credit cards, and "bad debt" are the ultimate deal-killers when the bank pulls out the fine-tooth comb. Fast-Tracking Equity: How to generate growth quickly to enable your second and third purchase faster than the bank’s standard forecast.
