When should capital growth stop being your main goal? In this episode of Perth Property Insider, I answer that simple question (with big stakes). Growth builds your asset base, and it deserves respect. But if you keep investing the same way forever, you can end up with a portfolio that looks great on paper and doesn’t support the life you built it for. You’ll hear the three stages of a property investment strategy, and what you must do differently at each stage and why. I also share why I’m saying no to great deals right now, and the stage I’m in that makes that the right call. I also cover the five signs growth may no longer be your number one priority. Some are obvious, but one gets overlooked by investors who are proud of how many properties they own. And I flip it around to warn younger investors about the opposite mistake. Finally, I give you five questions to test where your property portfolio should go next. That includes the one I ask about every property: if I didn’t own it today, would I buy it again? Another covers a cost most people forget when they plan for retirement. Whether you’re building, consolidating, or planning to work less, hit play now, and find out if your portfolio is still doing the right job. Tune in to discover: ✅ The three stages every property portfolio moves through, and how to tell which one you’re in right now✅ Why I’m saying “no” to great deals that land on my desk every day✅ How two investors of the same age can need completely opposite strategies✅ The one sign you may already own enough property to reach your goal✅ When paying off $500,000 of debt could do more for your lifestyle than $500,000 of growth✅ The retirement cost most people forget to plan for (and why it matters for your debt today) Key Points 00:00:00 Intro 00:01:00 When Growth Stops Working00:04:32 Your Portfolio’s Job00:07:40 No Magic Age00:10:50 Debt Beats Next Purchase00:14:24 The Decision Framework00:17:26 Strategy Is Allowed To Change - Our Services:✅Get your Strategic Portfolio Plan and our help with Buying Your Next Perth Property  (https://www.investorsedge.com.au/invest-in-perth-property/)✅Get clear on your current property’s outlook and the best strategy for you?

Your own brain can cost you more than a bad suburb ever will. In 18 years of property investing, I’ve watched smart investors lose money on decisions that felt rational at the time. They buy because everyone else is making money. They hold a property because they’ve owned it for a decade. They wait for a peak price that’s gone. Or they research for six more months because doing nothing feels safe. In this episode of Perth Property Insider, I’m revealing the seven mental traps that cost property investors money.  For each one, I show you how to spot it in yourself, along with a single question that pulls you back into clear thinking.  I’m also sharing a simple decision checklist to run before you buy, hold, improve, or sell your next investment property. If you own investment property in Perth, or you’re planning your next purchase, discover which trap could be steering your next property decision. Tune in to discover: ✅ One question that shows whether FOMO is making your buying decision for you ✅ How a single number from the peak market can block your next move ✅ The question to ask about any property you’ve owned for years  ✅ How to use AI to challenge your property decisions… instead of just agreeing with you ✅ The exact point where more research stops helping and starts costing you money ✅ The five-year test that shows whether your success came from skill or just a rising market ✅ A simple decision checklist to run before you buy, hold, improve, or sell  Key Points 00:00:00 Intro and the FOMO trap00:03:33 Anchoring and sunk costs00:08:21 Recency and confirmation bias00:12:57 Analysis paralysis00:16:02 The overconfidence trap00:19:24 Your decision checklist  - Our Services:✅Get your Strategic Portfolio Plan and our help with Buying Your Next Perth Property  (https://www.investorsedge.com.au/invest-in-perth-property/)✅Get clear on your current property’s outlook and the best strategy for you?

Since the federal budget quarantined negative gearing, Australian property investors buying established homes face a much bigger cashflow gap.  You still get the tax benefit, but you just wait 10 to 15 years to use it (and that wait is painful for investors). In this episode of Perth Property Insider, I sit down with financial planner Stuart Wemyss, host of Investopoly, to discuss a strategy he wrote about: Borrowing part of the shortfall in the early years, then repaying it once the property turns cashflow positive.  Stuart modelled it over 30 years and I think you’ll be surprised at what it could do to your after-tax returns. Of course it’s not a magic bullet, but it’s definitely something savvy investors needs to be aware of. Stuart also exposes a common rental yields trap and why "a bad yes costs more than a bad no."  If you're working out your next move after the 2026 budget changes, hit play now and learn how to keep building wealth without compromising on asset quality. Tune in to discover: ✅ The real effect of quarantined negative gearing on cashflow (and the impact on your next purchase)✅ A simple borrowing strategy that can ease the cashflow gap in the early years✅ How much the budget changes cut after-tax property returns… and how to claw some back✅ Why investors who bought before budget night may hold a big planning advantage✅ The odds Stuart gives negative gearing of making a comeback (see if you agree!)✅ How the timing of your purchase within a growth cycle can influence your long-term capital growth✅ The one thing to obsess over once you own a property - PLUS what to stop worrying about Key Points 00:00:00 Intro00:03:00 Cashflow is the real hurdle00:06:30 Value of pre-budget properties00:10:23 Borrowing the tax gap00:14:18 Will negative gearing return00:17:49 The high yield trap00:20:51 Comparing the real returns00:27:38 Timing the growth cycle00:30:42 Obsess over income and expenses00:34:00 Don't set your budget too low - Connect with Stuart Wemyss https://prosolution.com.au/https://www.linkedin.com/in/stuartwemyss - Check Out The Investopoly Podcast Hosted By Stuart Wemyss https://www.youtube.com/@investopolypodcasthttps://investopoly.buzzsprout.com/share  - Our Services:✅Get your Strategic Portfolio Plan and our help with Buying Your Next Perth Property  (https://www.investorsedge.com.au/invest-in-perth-property/)✅Get clear on your current property’s outlook and the best strategy for you?

In this episode of Perth Property Insider, I take you inside a fishing trip that doesn't go to plan, and show you the lessons it made me realise for your property decisions.  It’s no secret that the Perth property market has changed. Earlier this year, I set a record price almost every time I sold a property. Now homes sit on the market for longer, and sellers have to adjust their expectations.  So how do you sell well, buy well, and keep building wealth when conditions turn? My answers come from a rough day on the water, a mate who out-fishes me, and a big fish that gets away about 10 metres from the boat. I also cover why you need a strategic portfolio plan before you buy your next investment property, and why buyers now have more choice and more room to negotiate.  I explain how the federal budget changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax may shape your next purchase.  And you’ll also hear how to keep an interested buyer moving without pushing them away. In this episode, you'll learn: ✅ The question to answer before you buy your next investment property✅ Why the sale process that set record prices in Perth six months ago now has a very different job✅ What feels uncomfortable for sellers right now, and how buyers can use it to their advantage✅ How to keep an interested buyer moving toward an offer without heavy pressure✅ What losing a fish 10 metres from the boat reminded me about a big negotiation mistake sellers make✅ Why federal budget changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax affect future decision making Key Moments: 00:00:00 Intro00:04:50 Good Conditions Never Last00:08:55 Adapt Or Get Out-Fished00:13:20 Keep The Tension On00:17:52 Remember Your Real Why00:20:55 Selling To Upgrade Home - Our Services:✅Get your Strategic Portfolio Plan and our help with Buying Your Next Perth Property  (https://www.investorsedge.com.au/invest-in-perth-property/)✅Get clear on your current property’s outlook and the best strategy for you?

Your properties can all be winners and your portfolio can still lose. In this episode of Perth Property Insider I’m sharing a problem I see in almost every portfolio review.  Investors in their 40s and 50s hold three or four solid investment properties, each in a decent suburb with good rent and growth. Yet the portfolio bleeds cash flow, leans on one market and carries debt that no longer fits their stage of life. Plus they have no clear path to turn equity into retirement income.  You’ll hear about the five ways good properties form the wrong portfolio, the three stages every property portfolio moves through, and how to tell which one you're in.  I break down a composite example of a Perth couple in their mid 40s with a family home and three investments - and show what changes when you view their portfolio as a system.  If you want your property investing to fund the life you're building, not just build a number, listen now.  In this episode, you'll learn: ✅ Why three or four individually good properties can still add up to the wrong portfolio✅ The five ways good properties compound the same weakness✅ How to tell which of the three portfolio stages you're in right now✅ Why I’m not buying anything at the moment, and what I do with my surplus cash instead✅ The review questions I use with clients to work out whether each property still has a job to do  Key moments: 00:00:00 Intro00:03:00 Peak to June price drop00:06:03 Top house suburb performers00:09:40 Where houses went flat00:12:40 Fringe suburbs lead units00:16:20 The lag hiding the correction00:19:40 Why cheaper holds up00:23:20 Perth is a market of markets - Our Services:✅Get your Strategic Portfolio Plan and our help with Buying Your Next Perth Property  (https://www.investorsedge.com.au/invest-in-perth-property/)✅Get clear on your current property’s outlook and the best strategy for you?

Perth's median house price cracked $1 million in the March 2026 quarter. By June it slipped back to $977,000.  That's a fall of about 2.3% from the peak, yet still around 4% above December.  So is this a Perth property correction or not? In this episode I walk through what the data actually shows, suburb by suburb, and where the real cracks are forming. You’ll hear the strongest house suburbs for the quarter and the pattern that links most of them.  I look at why suburbs above $1.6 million grew slower than the middle of the market, and why buyer depth matters more as borrowing capacity tightens.  Then I dig into units, where the spread is far wider.  If you own, buy or invest in Perth real estate, this episode gives you the full picture. In this episode, you'll learn: ✅ Why Perth's median house price hit $1 million in March and gave part of it back by June✅ The Perthsuburbs that still grew 7% to 10% in a single quarter as the wider market cooled✅ Why suburbs with medians above $1.6 million grew slower than the middle of the market✅ The unit suburbs that surged more than 12% in one quarter, and the one that fell 6.2%✅ The six to eight week lag built into settled sales data✅ Four questions every Perth property owner should ask before assuming the last 12 months of growth means nothing’s changed.

Could this be the best time in six years to buy property in Perth? The Perth property market has shifted. Buyers now have more choice, properties are taking longer to sell, and there’s more room to negotiate. But that doesn’t mean you should rush out and buy just because market conditions have changed. In this episode of Perth Property Insider, Jarrad is joined by buyer’s agent Justine to break down what’s really happening in the Perth property market. Along with why the current conditions could create one of the strongest buying opportunities we’ve seen in years. In this episode, we cover: ✅Why Perth is becoming a more balanced property market✅Why buyers currently have more choice and negotiating power✅How buying conditions compare with six to twelve months ago✅How to negotiate property without simply making lowball offers✅How to assess the true market value of a property✅Why seller motivation, competition, and time on market matter✅How subject-to-sale offers are becoming more realistic again✅Why a softer Perth market can create opportunities for home upgraders✅Why a better buying opportunity does NOT mean you should simply buy anything Key moments: 00:00:00 Intro00:03:51 The buyer battle days00:08:05 Why buyers are winning now00:11:23 Changeover math 00:15:40 The overpaying trap00:18:44 Your home as asset00:23:20 Negative gearing changes00:29:00 Should you wait longer - Our Services:✅Get your Strategic Portfolio Plan and our help with Buying Your Next Perth Property  (https://www.investorsedge.com.au/invest-in-perth-property/)✅Get clear on your current property’s outlook and the best strategy for you?

Spring is usually the busiest season of the year for home sales. But spring alone won't sell your home this year.  The Perth property market has changed and most sellers are still using the playbook from six months ago. Perth listings have jumped from about 6,200 to 7,200 in five weeks.Sales now take 21 days on average. And buyers have choice again.  And when they have choice, a badly timed or badly presented home loses momentum fast - which means the market punishes it on price. In this episode, I take you inside the first three parts of my six-point strategic sale process. It's the process I use with Perth homeowners and investors to create buyer competition and get the best price possible.  You’ll hear why the right time to sell depends on your life first and the market second - and why presentation and marketing matter more with every new listing. Tune in to hear about: ✅Why spring is no longer a free pass for Perth sellers✅The month I'd rather list in, and why it's not the one most people pick✅What 1,000 extra Perth listings means for your negotiating power✅The one question to ask before you decide to sell at all✅The tenancy timing rule Perth investors can't ignore right now✅When a tenanted sale works, and when vacant possession is worth the cost✅Why a buyer database beats a postcode in a cooling market✅How stacking small wins creates the competition that drives price✅Why the best move is sometimes not selling at all Key moments: 00:00:00 Intro00:03:10 Upgrade, downsize, or release equity00:06:00 Tenants and vacant possession00:10:15 September vs November00:13:20 Emotive presentation explained00:17:20 The return of staging00:20:10 Trifecta of marketing00:24:45 Social ads and database00:28:15 Stacking small decisions- Our Services:✅Get your Strategic Portfolio Plan and our help with Buying Your Next Perth Property  (https://www.investorsedge.com.au/invest-in-perth-property/)✅Get clear on your current property’s outlook and the best strategy for you?

Want to raise kids who feel confident with money, save with purpose, and make smart choices on their own? In this episode of Perth Property Insider, Sarah Megginson from Finder joins us to share how parents can teach kids about money, saving, and investing from an early age. Sarah wrote How to Raise Rich Kids. In this episode you’ll learn all about giving your kids the skills and mindset to build security, freedom, and choice (even if you’re not wealthy yourself).

Owning a property for a long time doesn't make it the right property. Neither does the fact that it's gone up in value (because nearly all Perth property has).  For years the market ran hot, and a rising tide made average decisions look like smart ones. Now it's cooling, buyers have choice again.  And the difference between a strong asset and a lazy one is finally starting to show. In this episode of Perth Property Insider, host Jarrad Mahon shares one deceptively simple question that brings instant clarity to every property you own.  From there, he unpacks what your properties should actually be doing for you, and how so many quietly drift off course without anyone noticing. Inside the episode, you'll discover: ✅The single question that tells you whether to hold, improve, or let go✅Why a property that's doubled in value can still be the wrong one for you✅Three warning signs a property needs a proper review, hiding in plain sight✅What your equity may be doing wrong while it just sits there✅The four honest outcomes of a review, and how to choose one without fear If you own even one investment property, this conversation could change how you look at your whole portfolio.

Perth property investors are often told to avoid units. But the right apartment, villa, or townhouse can outperform the "safe" house strategy (when you know how to stack up the full picture). In this episode of Perth Property Insider, Jarrad Mahon and buyer's agent Justine Destura challenge one of the most stubborn beliefs in property investing: that houses always beat units. Using a real client's portfolio projection, they compare buying one $850,000 property against two units at around $600,000 each - with surprising results. But let's be clear, this is not a green light to buy any unit you can find.  There are specific criteria you must get right. Miss just one, and a promising investment can turn into a long, expensive headache. Tune in to discover: ✅ How the end of negative gearing changed the units vs houses debate ✅ The layer of research almost every investor skips before buying a strata property✅ Why a very low strata fee can be a red flag, not a bargain ✅ How to properly assess the suburb, pocket, complex, property, and purchase price✅ How Perth CBD, West Leederville, Maylands, and Wembley stack up ✅ The simple “$1,000 offer” strategy that keeps winning properties at the $600K stamp duty threshold✅ How to compete for in-demand Perth units without overpaying or getting caught up in the heat of a bidding war Whether you're building your first investment strategy or expanding a Perth property portfolio on limited borrowing capacity, this episode gives you the framework to judge any unit before you spend a dollar.

Could 50,000 more blocks in Perth soon become subdividable? The WA Government has announced major proposed changes to the Residential Design Codes, potentially unlocking thousands of new subdivision and infill-development opportunities across Perth.  But before property owners and investors rush to buy development sites, there are important risks, timeframes and practical issues to understand. In this episode of Perth Property Insider, Jarrad is joined by Anton Flynn from Subdivison Experts to reveal what the proposed WA R-Codes reforms could actually mean for R20-zoned properties, 700m² blocks, granny flats, dual-key developments, and Perth’s future housing supply. You’ll hear why the reforms could be a major opportunity for existing property owners - with one important caveat. You’ll learn: ✅Why some 700m² R20 blocks could potentially be subdivided into two✅How the proposed changes differ from current R20 subdivision requirements✅What the reforms could mean for Perth property values and development potential✅The specific group of people who owners may benefit most from the changes✅A potentially overlooked issue that may create congestion in established suburbs✅Why local councils may resist parts of the proposed planning reforms✅The critical timing factor that determines when investors should avoid buying property✅Two things that may be just as important as rezoning land Key moments: 00:00:00 Intro00:03:20 Fixing code complexity00:06:40 Parking and street chaos00:09:40 Don't buy on hype00:12:40 New property tax edge00:15:40 What's actually confirmed00:18:40 Councils get bypassed00:21:40 The build cost seesaw00:24:40 Watch the backlash - Resource Link ✅Connect with Anton Flynn from Perth Subdivision Experts https://www.subdivisionexperts.com.au/✅Get your Rental Health Score now to ensure your Perth rental property is optimised for returns and sleeping well at night https://rentalhealth.scoreapp.com/ Would you like to get clear on your current property’s outlook and the best strategy for you?

What happens to Australian property prices, rents, and housing affordability when government policy changes? In this episode of Perth Property Insider, I take a completely non-partisan look at how the housing policies of Labor, the Coalition, and One Nation could reshape the Australian property market. I break down what each party's policies actually encourage and what that means for property prices, rents, housing supply, migration, inflation, interest rates, and investor confidence. Because here's the truth: if you're serious about building wealth through Australian property, understanding these economic drivers matters far more than predicting who wins the next election. In this episode you'll learn: ✅ How Labor's housing policies could affect investors and tenants…and why the outcome may surprise you✅ The real impact of migration on Australian property prices and rents ✅ What the negative gearing and capital gains tax changes mean for investors ✅ Whether reducing investor demand actually improves housing affordability ✅ How Coalition policies could influence housing supply and investor confidence ✅ What One Nation's housing policies may mean for affordability and property growth ✅ How inflation, interest rates, and government spending shape the property market ✅ How to build a property investment strategy that works under any government Key moments: 00:00:00 Intro00:03:20 Labor's migration settings00:06:40 Rental supply irony00:09:40 Coalition's balance play00:12:40 One Nation's investor cap00:15:40 How to vote proof your portfolio If this episode helps you think differently about your portfolio, share it with a friend and leave a comment - I'd love to hear which policy direction you think gets it right. - Resource Link ✅Get your Rental Health Score now to ensure your Perth rental property is optimised for returns and sleeping well at night https://rentalhealth.scoreapp.com/ Would you like to get clear on your current property’s outlook and the best strategy for you?
