Let me start with a blunt truth: most property investors think they’re rational — but they’re not. They believe they’re making strategic decisions based on research, market fundamentals, and cold, hard data. But the reality? Their decisions are often driven by fear, greed, overconfidence, and a cocktail of subconscious biases they don’t even realise are…
Have you been looking for a great property mentor? I remember early in my investing career when I was keen to find a mentor, I found the perfect one. I was mentored by Warren Buffett. In fact, Warren’s been mentoring me for quite some time now, and it’s been inspiring. But to be honest… I’ve…
What if I told you that right now, quietly but powerfully, one of the biggest investment opportunities in Australian property is unfolding in plain sight? While most people are focused on the day-to-day news cycle, savvy investors are looking a few years ahead, to 2032, when Brisbane will step onto the global stage to host…

But there’s no doubt there are still many challenges ahead…
We’re now on the brink of what could be the biggest shake-up to the Australian tax system since the GST was introduced back in 2000. Federal Treasurer Jim Chalmers has signalled that tax reform is not just on the agenda – it’s a priority. But what kind of reform are we really talking about here?…

Are you considering investing in Melbourne’s property market? You’re not alone — and you’re certainly not too late. Melbourne has posted four consecutive months of home price growth so far in 2025.

Where is the Australian property market heading? With so much noise and confusion in the media, it’s hard to make sense of what’s really happening. Every week, headlines scream conflicting messages — some warn of falling house prices, others claim we’re in the midst of another boom. But savvy investors know the truth lies not…
