Property Investment Podcast Network

Building a property portfolio is about more than finding the next hotspot, with asset selection, market cycles, and hard-earned lessons all shaping what comes next.
The inaugural episode of Built for Scale sees Liam Garman and Josh Crealy from LEVR Group discuss what it takes to build a property portfolio and a sustainable career in real estate.
Crealy shares the investment mistakes that cost him dearly, including losses from chasing initial public offerings (IPO) and start-ups, and how those experiences changed his approach to building wealth.
The pair explore asset selection, market cycles, and portfolio strategy, including why investors need to understand what they are buying rather than simply chasing the latest hotspot or market hype.
The duo also discuss what separates sustainable property businesses from those built around marketing, and why genuine expertise, referrals, and repeat clients can matter more than noise in a tougher market.

The SMSF lending ban has closed a major door for property investors, but it could also create new opportunities as lending, prices, and investor sentiment adjust.
On The Property Nerds podcast, Arjun Paliwal and Jack Fouracre examine what the end of residential SMSF lending means for investors and the wider property market.
The pair look at what could happen to existing SMSF borrowers, from lender competition and refinancing to the possibility of higher borrowing costs as the market adjusts.
They also examine the potential fallout for property transactions, developers, and new housing supply, particularly where SMSF buyers have played a role in funding projects and pre-sales.
With sentiment already weighing on the market, the conversation considers whether weaker conditions could ultimately create opportunities for investors, particularly if interest rates, borrowing capacity, and rental yields move in their favour.

From rising debt and unemployment to migration, gig workers, and buyer's agents, Australia's economic shifts are creating fresh questions about the strength of the property market and what comes next.
On Property Buzz, Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman examine the week's biggest property and economic developments, connecting the dots between policy, jobs, migration, and what they could mean for the market.
The pair discuss Australia's growing debt, pressure on state budgets and a cooling jobs market, questioning what weaker economic conditions could mean for interest rates, house prices, and household wealth.
They also turn to migration and remittances, the gig economy, and rising labour costs, examining how broader policy decisions could flow through to consumers, businesses, and the property market.
The conversation wraps with a look at the buyer's agency sector, including the prospect of consolidation and why investors may need to look beyond bold market predictions when choosing who to trust with their next property move.

Building a $10 million-plus portfolio takes more than buying property, with renovations, developments, lending strategy, and some hard-learned lessons shaping an investor's journey.
On the How I Met My Broker podcast, Liam Garman and Hung Chuy from Strategic Brokers are joined by investor Adam Beasley to discuss the deals and decisions behind his $10 million-plus property portfolio.
Beasley shares how his background as an electrician helped him spot opportunities to manufacture value, from his first Penrith purchase to renovations and development plays that created equity and lifted rental returns.
The conversation gets into the deals that nearly went wrong, including a commercial opportunity he walked away from after his due diligence uncovered what was really behind the numbers.
The trio also look at the finance decisions that helped keep the portfolio moving, and why having a broker who understands an investor's strategy can make a difference when the next opportunity comes along.

Past performance can create confidence, but the biggest gains could come from knowing where to look next. With markets shifting, data is becoming a powerful tool for investors chasing above-average growth.
On The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil Tarrant is joined by Dr Mat Djolic from HtAG Analytics to explore how investors can use data to make more strategic property decisions.
The pair examine how HtAG analyses more than 200 indicators to rank markets, looking at factors including affordability, supply, demand, and socio-economic conditions to identify areas with stronger growth potential.
They discuss the opportunity cost of choosing an average-performing market, and why even small differences in annual growth can create a significant gap in portfolio value over the long term.
The conversation also covers emerging opportunities across Victoria, Perth, and Queensland, as well as the importance of looking beyond market hype, questioning conventional wisdom, and avoiding confirmation bias when deciding where to invest.
