The duo discusses an upcoming report focusing on the top 13 regions, providing military members with high-level guidance on property decisions in key regions.

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Liam Garman sits down with Nick Voegt, director of Smash Property, to discuss how investors can build a multimillion-dollar property portfolio. Nick's property investment journey began while working in banking, where he saw real estate as an escape from the corporate grind. Following his first profitable investment in Brisbane, when the market was affordable, he expanded his portfolio by leveraging equity while maintaining his full-time job to support his strategy and regularly consulting brokers to increase borrowing capacity. Initially focused on owning 10 properties, Nick shifted his strategy to develop portfolio value and yield to generate passive income. Nick encourages investors to start their journey at any age and advises them to do their due diligence and focus on affordable markets with strong fundamentals, such as Gladstone and Bundaberg.

To thrive in this shifting market, investors must stay informed and agile, closely tracking legislative changes, market trends and natural events to capitalise on emerging opportunities in 2025. In this episode of The Pure Property Podcast, co-hosts Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop discuss the latest news of the property market. The duo covers key property market changes, including ex-Cyclone Alfred's reminder of the importance of strong insurance in flood-prone areas and Sydney's new zoning laws that boost density near transport hubs, potentially reshaping land values and local landscapes. Phil and Paul also discuss the latest market performance data, highlighting Melbourne and Hobart's growth, Sydney's decline from its 2024 peak, and strong performance in Perth, Brisbane and Adelaide.

NSW's Rental Tenancy Act is changing, with new rules to take effect by mid-April on rent hikes, pet ownership, and no-grounds evictions, requiring landlords to give valid reasons for tenant removal. In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil Tarrant is joined by the CEO of the Real Estate Institute of New South Wales (REINSW), Tim McKibbin, to discuss the imminent changes to the Rental Tenancy Act and its potential impact on property investors. The upcoming regulations, expected by mid-April, include limits on rental increases, rules on pet ownership, and the abolition of no-grounds evictions, which require landlords to provide valid reasons for evicting tenants. The duo discuss the historical context and current changes in the Rental Tenancy Act, and its potential impact on investors and property managers who already face a shortage of professionals. They stress the importance of balance as overregulation can hurt landlords and tenants as fewer investors may enter the market, leading to a shortage of long-term rentals. As these changes are implemented, the REINSW stresses the importance of balancing tenant and landlord interests while maintaining market stability. Tim said investors must stay informed and engage in policy discussions to ensure their voices are heard.

Welcome to Pathway to Property, a podcast to help everyday Australians on their property investment journey through education, real-life stories, and firsthand investing experiences. In this episode, co-hosts Atlas Property Group director Lachlan Vidler and Luke Clifford discuss key aspects of due diligence in property investment, from both street and asset levels. At the street level, the duo emphasises the importance of understanding housing commission concentrations, infrastructure impacts, and environmental overlays. For asset-level due diligence, they discuss key considerations such as tenant relationships, cash flow, development potential, and building inspections. They also share the importance of accurate property valuations, highlighting how these factors affect investment success.

In this episode of The Property Nerds, co-hosts Arjun Paliwal, founder and CEO of InvestorKit, and Jack Fouracre, partnership manager at Fouracre Financial, explore the growing role of self-managed super funds (SMSF) in property investment in Australia. The duo discuss the increasing popularity of SMSF, which they believe is driven by investors reaching borrowing limits outside superannuation and seeking new avenues for property investment. Jack explains how SMSF borrowing differs from traditional loans, focusing on super contributions and rental income instead of personal income, which creates a separate borrowing capacity for property purchases. The co-host also shares how younger investors can benefit from going through SMSF to build their portfolio, starting with residential properties before transitioning to commercial properties. Additionally, they delve into the diversification that SMSF offers, including shares, cash, or business premises, supporting both retirement savings and business needs.

Following a CoreLogic survey revealing the gender investment gap, co-hosts Phil Tarrant and Eva Loisance from Finni Mortgages discuss the societal and cultural barriers that deter women from investing. In the latest episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil and Eva discuss the underrepresentation of women in property investment, which they link to traditional cultural gender roles and expectations. Through her experience as a mortgage broker, Eva noted that women often exhibit financial discipline and risk aversion, which can be both beneficial and limiting. She shares her journey, highlighting how self-education and resilience can empower women to enter the property market. The co-hosts emphasise the importance of education and mentorship in helping women overcome these barriers, and the need for a mindset shift for women to build confidence and take action in investing. The episode concludes with a call for more female voices in property investment, encouraging them to share their experiences and take control of their financial futures.
