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.

In this week’s episode, we’re going back to our roots: protecting everyday Aussies from the hype that can derail their financial future. 💸🌱🚨

Off the back of a powerful team session with over 300 years of combined investing experience, we’re unpacking the real risks behind silver bullet property strategies — the ones that promise fast wealth but leave you exposed.

We break down:
🔸 The viral “5 properties fast” pitch, and its 1 in 3.2 million success odds
🔸 Why strategy without modelling is just marketing
🔸 The hidden costs of aggressive property plans (think: effort, sacrifice, burnout)
🔸 The true purpose of a margin of safety, and why smart investors never skip it
🔸 What most Aussies actually want from investing (hint: it’s not a mega portfolio)

Plus, we look at the latest ATO stats: Are property investors really leaving the market?

If you've ever felt the pull of a “too good to be true” plan or felt like you’re falling behind, this episode is your circuit breaker. Listen now folks!
