You’ve probably noticed your social media feed is full of new “property experts.” Twenty-somethings showing off cars, watches, and “instant success” stories — all promising to help you get rich in record time. But property doesn’t work like that. What they don’t tell you is that property isn’t a sprint; it’s a marathon. Today I’m joined by Ken Raiss, and together we unpack why real wealth is built slowly, strategically, and…
Let’s be honest, the more things change, the more the same bad habits pop up. In 2026 the property market feels like a different beast compared to a few years ago, but beneath rising interest rates, rising prices, shifting borrowing rules and demographic-driven demand, the core traps remain familiar. I’ve spent decades watching investors trip…
We all have dreams that we would like to achieve – the challenge is to follow them. To get you inspired, here are some motivational quotes from those who followed their dreams and made them a reality: 1. “Don’t you find it odd,” she continued, “that when you’re a kid, everyone, all the world, encourages…
A war thousands of kilometres away might seem like something that only affects geopolitics or the oil markets. But in today’s interconnected global economy, events unfolding in distant regions can quickly ripple through to Australia’s economy, households and property markets. Rising oil prices, disrupted supply chains and shifting geopolitical alliances all have the potential to…
Will today’s younger generations end up wealthier, happier, and more secure than their parents? That used to be a no-brainer.

What if the biggest reason you’ll never build a $50 million property portfolio has nothing to do with money? What if it’s not your income, your borrowing capacity, your suburb selection or even the market cycle that determines how far you go? And what if the investors who end up with $100 million or $200 million portfolios don’t actually do anything dramatically different from…
We’re already into 2026, and the last few months have been a time when little creatures come out of hibernation – they’re called forecasters, and their predictions of what lies ahead of us abound. These relate to all areas, particularly property, because almost anyone who owns real estate would give their second garage to know…
At a seminar I ran around 20 years ago, I still remember someone shaking my hand and saying, “You must own hundreds of properties by now.” They looked genuinely confused when I reacted with horror and said that would be my absolute nightmare. It’s an easy assumption to make. Most people equate more properties with…

Some properties will deliver exceptional growth over the next few years, while others will barely move in value. And the frustrating part is they could be only a few kilometres apart.
