    Lost integrity with the choice of Pressley, with whom I can personally account for hundreds of thousands dollars lost through properties and locations he advised

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 334: The Investor Who Rebuilt from Zero and Didn't Play It Safe, with Joey Croke
Q: What stage is Arqelo at, and how can people try it?
The platform is in beta with a waitlist. Interested users can visit arqelo.com to join the waitlist and receive details as rollout progresses toward a subscription model for buyers agents and investors.
Ep. 334: The Investor Who Rebuilt from Zero and Didn't Play It Safe, with Joey Croke
Q: How does Arqelo balance data with on-the-ground insights?
Data is lagged by a few months, so Arqelo integrates boots-on-the-ground input from property managers and agents to update the platform continuously, ensuring users get timely signals alongside the data.
Ep. 334: The Investor Who Rebuilt from Zero and Didn't Play It Safe, with Joey Croke
Q: Can you describe what Arqelo does and who it's for?
Arqelo is a platform that helps investors and buyers agents cut research time by using a life compass to map long-term goals and a buyer's brief for each purchase. It ranks suburbs across the country based on over 120 metrics and current market trends, delivering a recommended suburb with a score to guide decisions.
Ep. 332: Why Smart Investors Are Quietly Moving Back Into Victoria, with Lachlan O'Connell
Q: What price points and property types are most attractive right now?
The sweet spots are around $600k–$700k for well-located properties, with renovated cottages or units offering better yield in some pockets; above $750k activity drops, and higher-end assets tend to attract more owner-occupiers.
Ep. 332: Why Smart Investors Are Quietly Moving Back Into Victoria, with Lachlan O'Connell
Q: Who is driving the current demand in Ballarat—investors or homeowners?
It's a healthier split than some markets: both owner-occupiers (first homebuyers, upgraders) and investors are active, with a notable emphasis on strong local demand in pockets like Wendaree and Ballarat North.
