EBS 24: Rent Money Is NOT Dead Money | Rent for Lifestyle, Own for ROI
Episode 24 challenges the claim that rent money is dead money. We compare owning a home with rentvesting and show why renting where you want to live while investing in a stronger growth market can produce a better financial result. The episode explores tax deductions, mortgage interest, hidden ownership costs and the opportunity cost of buying in a location that suits your lifestyle but may deliver weaker capital growth. We also examine the benefits of home ownership, including stability, control and the main residence capital gains tax exemption. The takeaway is simple. Rent is not wasted money when it gives you the flexibility to invest where the strongest opportunities are. Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Introduction 00:52 - What "Rent" actually buys 04:42 - Tax efficiencies 05:21 - Hidden costs 07:07 - Same timeframe. Different outcomes. 14:22 - Is it worth it? 18:40 - Conclusion ============================================================= Got questions or feedback?

EBS 23: Save for a Deposit ASAP | Why This Holds You Back
Episode 23 challenges the common advice to simply save for a property deposit. Instead, we argue that while disciplined saving matters, leaving money in the bank can slow progress and delay entry into the market. The episode explores a more active path by building capital through share investing first, then using that time to learn how property works, how leverage changes outcomes, and how to spot the marketing traps that catch new investors before they buy their first property. We also compare shares and property as wealth building tools, looking at leverage, control, risk, liquidity and the reality of long term returns. The takeaway is simple. Do not just save for a deposit. Build your cash flow, invest with purpose, and use the journey to develop the knowledge and discipline that will put you in a stronger position when it is time to buy property. Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Introduction 00:32 - Step 1: Control your cashflow 00:53 - Step 2: Learn share investing before property 02:23 - Step 3: Learn property while you wait 08:14 - Leverage changes outcomes 10:55 - Control is the advantage 13:31 - Beating the benchmark 17:13 - Risk looks different 19:13 - Barriers to entry 20:29 - The ROI reality 27:24 - Damien’s rules 29:46 - Conclusion ============================================================= Got questions or feedback?

Ep. 57: July Property Market Update – Don’t Panic Sell
In episode 57, We break down the latest June 2026 market data across the Australian property landscape, focusing on what is actually changing and what still looks largely the same. We walk through the capital cities for both houses and units, covering shifts in values, DSR, market cycle timing, stock on market, days on market, vacancy rates and rental growth. The episode highlights the continued strength in markets such as Darwin and Perth, the tighter rental conditions still affecting much of the country, and why short term noise should not distract investors from the broader data. The discussion also explores how to interpret conflicting signals, why only the DSR should be used for an overview, and what current conditions may mean for different investment strategies, including longer term holds, diversification and renovation plays. If you want a practical, data led snapshot of where the market sits right now and how to think through the next few months, this episode is a strong place to start. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 – Introduction 00:38 – Capital Cities: House Markets 07:44 – Capital Cities: House Markets—One-Month Change 08:35 – Houses: Stock on Market 11:20 – Houses: Days on Market 11:53 – Houses: Six-Month Vacancy Rate 12:13 – Capital Cities: Unit Markets 17:04 – Capital Cities: Unit Markets—One-Month Change 17:42 – Units: Stock on Market 18:28 – Units: Days on Market 18:52 – Units: Six-Month Vacancy Rate 19:37 – Key Takeaways ============================================================= GOT QUESTIONS OR FEEDBACK?

Ep. 56: QA: Affordability, Yield vs Growth, Market Cycle Timing & More
In episode 56, Damien and Jeremy answer listener questions on some of the most common issues facing property investors right now, including affordability, capital growth, market cycle timing, yield trends and when it may or may not make sense to sell. They cover how to think about cheap versus expensive markets, explain why a low market cycle timing score does not automatically mean sell, and show how metrics like vacancy rates, stock on market and land to asset ratio cannot be read in isolation but need to be combined in an algorithm. The episode also explores whether greenfield estates, new housing areas and lower priced markets really offer a better path to growth. The conversation is practical and data led, with real examples used to explain opportunity cost, reallocation of equity, holding versus rotating into a stronger market, and how to judge whether a market still has room to run. If you want clear answers to the questions investors are actually asking, and a better framework for thinking through your next move, this episode is a valuable listen. Episode Highlights: 00:37 - Question 01 05:31 - Question 02 09:53 - Question 03 15:35 - Question 04 21:13 - Question 05 30:26 - Question 06 32:00 - Question 07 ============================================================= Got questions or feedback?

EBS 22: Market Cycles | Should You Pivot to a Better Market?
Episode 22 examines the claim that investors need to adapt their strategy every time the market changes. We show that while market conditions can affect timing and decision making, they do not change the core principles of successful investing. Using long term capital city data, the episode highlights that there is almost always a market booming somewhere in Australia, even when others are flat or slowing. The real question is not whether the rules have changed, but whether your money is still in the best place. We also break down the practical options when a market begins to level out, including holding, refinancing or selling and reallocating equity into a stronger location. The takeaway is simple. You do not need a new strategy for every phase of the cycle. You need a clear plan, the discipline to follow it, and the ability to recognise when it is time to move on to a better market. Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Introduction 02:42 - Fake experts pushing a change agenda 05:10 - A common expert claim 06:13 - A professional’s patch 09:44 - Major city booms (30 years) 13:33 - When the market peaks? 18:05 - Conclusion ============================================================= Got questions or feedback?

Ep. 55: What’s Happening Across Australia’s Property Markets?
In Episode 55, Damien and Jeremy unpack what the latest Suburb Data figures are showing across the Australian property market. They walk through the capital cities for both houses and units, covering changes in values, DSR scores, market cycle timing, stock on market, days on market, vacancy rates and rental growth. The discussion highlights the strongest markets, the ones beginning to improve, and how the proposed federal tax changes may start flowing through the data over the coming months. The episode also looks at what these trends could mean for investors and owner occupiers, including why yields, affordability and price point matter more than ever in the current environment. From the continued strength in Perth and Darwin to the emerging signs of improvement in parts of Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra, this is a practical snapshot of where the market stands right now and what may come next. Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Introduction 00:53 - Capital cities: House markets overall 06:41 -Capital cities: House markets typical value 08:21 - Houses - Stock on market % 10:31 - Houses - Days on market 11:13 - Vacancy rate 13:56 - Houses - Rental growth 14:35 - Capital cities: Unit markets 16:35 - Capital cities: Unit markets typical value 17:12 - Units - Stock on market % 17:56 - Units - Days on market 18:26 - Units - Vacancy 18:56 - Units - Rental growth 20:11 - Key takeaways ============================================================= Got questions or feedback?

EBS 21: Land Size Myth | Why More Land Doesn’t Mean More Growth
Episode 21 challenges the idea that bigger land automatically means better capital growth. We explain why block size on its own can be misleading and show that what really matters is the land to asset ratio, which measures how much of a property’s value sits in the land rather than the building. Using clear examples, the episode shows why older properties and select boutique stock can outperform newer homes with larger blocks, even when the square metre count looks less impressive. The takeaway is simple. Do not chase land size alone. Focus on where the value sits, because strong capital growth comes from high land value, not just more land. Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Introduction 00:38 - Depreciation vs appreciation 01:42 - What investors think this means 03:24 - Blocks of land 06:44 - Raw land limitations 09:22 - What should investors be looking for? 09:56 - Land to asset ratio 14:51 - LAR changes outcomes 20:21 - LAR: Good vs bad 22:21 - The penny drops: New vs old and depreciation 23:42 - Conclusion ============================================================= Got questions or feedback?

EBS 20: Buying at the Bottom | Why It Rarely Works Out
Episode 20 tests the advice to buy at the bottom of the market. We show how hard it is to identify a true bottom in real time, and why flat periods can drag on for years or produce false signs of recovery. Using historical data across hundreds of markets, we compare buying after a decline with buying into a boom and find that the stronger results usually come from markets already showing clear upward momentum. The takeaway is simple. Buying at the bottom sounds appealing, but buying into a genuine boom is often the better strategy. Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Introduction 01:56 - What is buying at the bottom? 02:28 - How do you know when a market is at the bottom? 05:46 - Alternative areas to invest in 13:27 - Sydney example 15:00 - Buy at the bottom formula 20:35 - Buy in a boom formula 22:10 - Buying in a boom performance 30:16 - Why is late better than early? 35:22 - How long? 36:28 - Conclusion ============================================================= Got questions or feedback?
