  • 557 | 8 Cheap Cashflow Properties in 18 Months, and Still No Passive Income? A Silver Bullet Case Study

    557 | 8 Cheap Cashflow Properties in 18 Months, and Still No Passive Income? A Silver Bullet Case Study
    Jul 31 2025

    They just wanted $104K in passive income. A comfortable retirement. A helping hand for the kids.

    Instead? They ended up with a silver bullet strategy: eight regional properties, over $1.1 million in debt, constant tenant issues, and a driveway that cost more than a year’s rent. 😬

    In this episode, Ben is joined by Head of Property Wealth Planning at Empower Wealth, David Robertson (or Robbo) to unpack a real case study of a silver bullet property strategy gone completely off the rails.

    Here’s what we debunk:
    ⚠️ Promised high yields? ✅
    ⚠️ Sold on positive cash flow from Day 1? ✅
    ⚠️ No proper planning, no risk assessment, no diversification? Unfortunately… ✅

    It’s a cautionary tale of what happens when buyer’s agents chase volume, not value — and why skipping the strategy step can cost you years of lost opportunity, tens of thousands in maintenance surprises, and even your dream retirement.

These guys are brilliant! I have learnt so much from listening to TPC and I now feel better prepared to take the leap into the property market as an investor. As the wise Ben Kingsley says, knowledge is empowering but only if you act on it!

Fantastic information

Thanks for being so informative, it’s great to know that anyone can give it a crack and succeed if you apply yourself correctly, to have that information is very empowering.

FINALLY finished EVERY episode... I got onto this podcast late in the game and had 7 years to catch up on!! Proud to say i have worked my way through every single episode from the beginning - even the RBA updates I dont really understand. Bryce and Ben are so easy to listen to, and I often find myself giggling along to their banter as I pull up at work. Interestingly the show has actually made me realise my husband and I don't "need" to invest in property (very lucky couple to have double defined benefit super in retirement). For me this podcast has honestly changed my life, the guest speakers are always interesting and inspirational. They choose down to earth people I find I can relate to, not... Wankers 🤣. I've jumped onto a number of other audiobooks from their recommendations and guests. In the last 12-18 months my mindset has been transformed in relation to finance, career, education, even parenting! Slightly obsessed... My kids even think they know Bryce and Ben because most days they see their faces on the car display. THANK YOU Bryce, Ben and the rest of the team for providing this podcast, you're changing people's lives in more ways than you probably realise.
