Built Different Podcast

Marty Fox won't buy an investment property in Melbourne right now, and he'll tell you why. The WHITEFOX CEO and Block judge on Australian property, goal setting, and building 23 offices.

In 2021, Marty wrote a five-year goal sheet. Three properties to his name, three thousand followers, and WHITEFOX London scrawled on the last line as the pie in the sky one. He's now responsible for 145 careers across 23 offices with New Zealand and Dubai live, targeting 50 offices across five countries by 2030. Aaron Christie-David goes deep on the goal system Marty carries in his pocket and reads every single day, the four pillars he tells anyone to start with, and the ten resignations in two months that didn't break him.

On property:
Why he'd buy a family home in Melbourne today but not an investment
Where his own money is going instead
The four metrics he runs over every deal
The one question that exposes what an agent really thinks your home is worth.

Then the honest part. The grind from 24 to 29 when he had no brand, no house and no credibility, the phone calls to his mum, and why he says he could not have built any of it without his wife Charlotte.

The budget broke the old playbook. This is the new one, with the numbers attached. MPA Top 100 Mortgage Broker Aaron Christie-David and the Atelier Wealth broking team on Australian property right now.
A whole lending product gone. Lenders drowning in five times their normal volume. Borrowing strategies written twelve months ago that no longer apply. The team came in to answer one question: what still works? One property now costs $15,000 a year to hold, and everything follows from that.

Aaron is joined by Bernadette Christie-David, Damien Walker and Nate Condie, answering listener questions with real figures attached. They cover the trust structure that can quietly undo itself on your credit file, and the cash flow number that stops most portfolios at three or four properties.

The team then goes head to head on AMP's 40-year loan term with ten years interest only, Aaron makes his call on where this cycle bottoms and why it is a correction rather than a crash, and they close on a deposit product that has been on the market twelve months without anyone noticing. If you own one property and cannot see how the next one happens, or you are sitting on four and running out of serviceability, this is the one.

Rent or buy in 2026? Kerrod Holland went from six figures in the NRL to $700 a $ 700-a-week take-home, with rent at $515 and a newborn. He's a financial adviser now, and he's a buyer in this Australian property market.

Kerrod played 70+ games for the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs after seven years as a qualified electrician. Then the contract wasn't renewed. He had cash buffers. He didn't have a framework for risk, and he'd overextended on the assumption the income would keep coming. He's now Managing Director of Tenex Wealth in Newcastle, and this is the conversation he wishes someone had sat him down for at 25.

He and MPA Top 100 Mortgage Broker, Aaron Christie-David, get into why he calls the family home a lifestyle asset and not an investment, and why you can only cut 100 per cent of your expenses but have infinite upside on your income. The couple earning $300,000 who wanted an income portfolio while carrying $80,000 in car and personal debt. Why he tells clients not to wait until 60 to take the trip. And the question he asks every couple before he looks at a single number: what does perfect look like to you? Kerrod's views are his own opinion and general information only.

Steve Maroun runs a $200M development pipeline at 30 - and says this is the hardest moment in Australian property development in living memory. His family lost nearly everything in the GFC. He's building anyway.
Steve, Director of Lanevick, takes Aaron Christie-David through the maths that stopped working: land, build cost and sale price all moving the wrong way at once, to the point where sites approved for six storeys are now worth more with the existing house renovated.
He breaks development into four pillars - finance, construction, design and town planning, and sales, and shows where first-time developers quietly destroy their margin before they've turned a sod. Splitter blocks that shrink your buyer pool. Over-capitalising on a build nobody in that suburb can afford. Treating development as something you do on the side.
It's also a family story. His father arrived in the early 1980s, started in cement rendering, built a portfolio across the Olympic boom, then watched it unwind in 2008 with only the family home left. What Steve learned in the rebuild is the real lesson here: start small, stay active, run your own race, and stay in the game long enough for the odds to do their work.
