  • EP. 1579 MASSIVE GROWTH FOR UNITS ARE ON HORIZON
    Dec 18 2025

    "Quote this now: By 2026, Sydney units will boom." 🏙️
    We're calling it—Dee Why and Manly are set for serious growth. But beware of high-supply suburbs like Mascot and Parramatta.
    🔍 Supply is the enemy of capital growth.
    💡 Tip: Look at density, planned developments & long-term trends.

  • EP. 1578 YAY LANDLORD VISIT!!!!!! FOR CHRISTMAS
    Dec 18 2025

    When inspections feel like a police car behind you...🚓😅
    Even with notice, inspections can feel stressful. From spotless showers to weekend boundaries, every tenancy is different. Just remember: you have rights, and timing matters.
    📅 Keep it within 8am–5:30pm, weekdays preferred.
    ✨ Be kind to yourself this silly season.
    🎄 Merry Christmas and thanks for an incredible 2025!

  • EP. 1577 IS THE REAL ESTATE BUBBLE ABOUT TO EXPLODE?
    Dec 15 2025

    🏡 The property dream: Is it really slipping away?

    We get it. It feels harder than ever to buy a home.
    But when you zoom out over 30, 50, even 70 years… the data tells a different story 👇

    📈 Generational ownership has followed a consistent, steady trend.
    👵🏼 Baby Boomers made their mark.
    👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Gen X and Millennials are now taking the reins.
    🤝 Government incentives have never been better to help you in.

    Despite the headlines, real estate continues to prove itself — decade after decade.
    The dream’s not dead. It's just different.

    If you're sitting on the sidelines, wondering whether to make a move — take heart. Yes, it's tough. But it's always been tough. What matters is strategy, guidance, and playing the long game.

    💬 "Property still feels like the safest long-term bet."
    🧠 Think: Generational wealth, not overnight wins.

    📍Sydney. D.Y. Northern Beaches. But relevant to the whole country.

  • EP. 1576 rental tenancies gone wrong, who stole my cheese!
    Dec 15 2025

    🏠 Shared tenancies: Start it right. Finish it properly.

    Had a few laughs today (yes, someone did ask how to use the washing machine 😅)…
    But seriously — if you’re in a shared rental, here’s what you must know 👇

    ✔️ Communicate with your property manager
    ✔️ Make sure all documents are signed — starting and ending a tenancy
    ✔️ You can’t just remove yourself from a lease — landlord approval is required
    ✔️ The person staying behind must also be approved
    ✔️ Don’t forget: bond paperwork ≠ end of lease

    ⚠️ Pro tip: If you’re leaving a shared house, grab the termination form from the Office of Fair Trading. Cover yourself.

    Renting is a partnership — transparency is key, especially in a tight market where great properties (and great landlords) are harder to find.

  • EP. 1575 The First Home Buyer Dream Becomes Even More Impossible
    Dec 9 2025

    💥 “Stretch yourself — you sort of can’t afford not to.”

    Getting into the property market isn’t easy. Deposits are tough, super takes a bite, and banks lend less than you hoped. But here’s the reality 👇

    📈 Property prices have outperformed wages for years
    🏠 The median house price in Australia has jumped 50% in the last 5 years
    💡 Northern Beaches property doubles every 10 years (on average)

    So what’s the move?
    💰 Be strategic
    👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Leverage family if you can
    🤝 Buy with a mate
    🥣 Eat rice and beans if you have to
    But get in.

    Because the longer you wait, the harder it gets.
