The co-hosts explain that successful property investment begins with clear goal setting and understanding one’s risk profile, with Kane highlighting that ADF members may have different risk tolerances compared to civilians.

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, hosts Liam Garman and Emilie Lauer sit down with Tabitha Robb and Sam Davenport from Prop Culture to discuss how a small property glow-up can increase its value.  Tabitha and Sam, both former selling agents, now work as buyer advocates, helping clients navigate the property market in Melbourne and ensuring both sellers and buyers don’t make costly mistakes. When selling a property, the Prop Culture co-founders emphasise the importance of creating a strong first impression, advising investors to be proactive with cost-effective upgrades like new carpets, painting cabinets or blinds for a significant return on investment. Tabitha and Sam also believe investors should engage with the corporate body to make improvements, which can enhance the property’s appeal and value when selling or renting.  The group also discusses the possible revival of the Victorian property market, and while the recent interest rate cut may boost confidence among owner-occupiers, Tabitha and Sam are cautious about predicting a surge in investor activity.

In this episode of In the Balance, hosts Munzurul Khan from KHI Partners and SPI’s Phil Tarrant are joined by the lead internal accounting partner at KHI Partners, Gary Yang, to discuss the role of a chief financial officer (CFO) within a property investment portfolio.

As property portfolios grow and evolve, the trio emphasises the need for a structured approach to financial management and presenting a compelling narrative to lenders, which a CFO can facilitate.

In this episode of The Pure Property Podcast, co-hosts Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop discuss how investors can navigate the latest changes in the Australian property market. The duo start the episode discussing the current state of the Australian property market, including the impact of potential interest rate cuts and the broader economic landscape. They noted that a 0.25 per cent rate cut could save approximately $2,500 annually for every million dollars borrowed, corresponding to an annual pay rise for many Australians.

Thanks to his engineering background, the now buyer’s agent increased his property portfolio within a decade by applying a simple, data-focused strategy.
