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. Phil and Paul noted that while a rate cut would free up some money, it could also shift investor sentiment, encouraging more people to invest in property, ultimately driving demand and property prices. The podcast also covers the upcoming FAST 50 report, a collaboration between Smart Property Investment and Pure Property that identifies the top 50 suburbs for property investment.

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, hosts Liam Garman and Emilie Lauer sit down with Mossy Taheri, a savvy investor who turned $5,000 into a positive cash flow portfolio in less than a decade. After moving to Australia in 2015 with just $5,000, Mossy started listening to the The Smart Property Investment Show podcast, which inspired him to start his investment journey. Thanks to his engineering background, the now buyer's agent increased his property portfolio within a decade by applying a simple, data-focused strategy. By following the numbers, Mossy said he invested in the booming markets before they became investor hubs, despite scepticism from others. He now owns two properties in Queensland, one in Western Australia and one in Adelaide, and is about to close the fifth one in Melbourne.

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, co-hosts Liam Garman and Emilie Lauer sit down with Jason Oster, Knight Frank's head of agribusiness valuations and advisory in Australia, to discuss the growing market of natural capital investment. Jason explains that natural capital refers to agricultural investments with an environmental, social and governance (ESG) narrative, which range from agribusinesses with renewable energy capabilities to pure conservation plays, where land is returned to its natural state. While these investments appeal to big corporations that want to reduce their carbon footprint and comply with Australia's new bill mandating climate reporting, Jason said anyone who wants to contribute to environmental preservation can invest in natural capital.

As interest rates shift and traditional commercial sectors like office and retail struggle, healthcare real estate stands out to investors looking for a stable and growing alternative. In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, co-hosts Liam Garman and Emilie Lauer sit down with Matthew Strotton, the head of real estate at Real Asset Management (RAM), to discuss how investors can diversify their portfolios through healthcare real estate. The trio begins by outlining RAM's strategic shifts within its portfolio as the company moved from a 50-50 split between commercial and healthcare holdings to an 80-20 split in its healthcare investments. Strotton said healthcare real estate has lower volatility and longer duration leases, which provide investors with stability and growth potential. While Strotton suggests solid investment returns, he urges investors to do their due diligence by understanding the differences between primary, secondary and tertiary levels of healthcare services, and engaging with sector professionals to ensure the viability of new projects.
