  • Average- John makes the podcast

    John makes his opinions based on facts and backs his opinions up. Rachelle and Emily sit on the fence, give opinions based on emotion or what they’ve heard.

  • Ep 526 A.I and tech in property

    Very knowledgeable presenter and well put to the audience but I don’t share her excitement about big tech tracking my property searches, connecting agents so we get random phone calls asking if we want to sell, getting algorithm generated suggestions on what the bot thinks I want etc. I’m old school like John, just want to search what I want to search and leave me to it.

    And honestly, do we have to do welcome to country for a podcast, geez people

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

829 buying & selling at the same time, serviced apartments, Defence housing + more
Q: Kate asks about the impact of recent tax changes on investment deductions beyond negative gearing and the outlook for regional markets.
Post-budget changes remove the ability to deduct certain losses in the year they occur, but losses can be offset against future cash flow or capital gains; planning with multiple properties can optimize tax outcomes. Regional markets are expected to outperform capital cities in some cases, with strong regional growth in large regional centers and more cautious outlook for smaller, more remote areas.
829 buying & selling at the same time, serviced apartments, Defence housing + more
Q: Kate asks about negotiating a price reduction after a building and pest inspection identified issues like rotting fascia boards and corrosion, and what defects would prompt a price reduction.
Defects seen during inspection can justify asking for a reduction; major defects (e.g., structural problems) are often walk-away issues, while minor defects (like fascia boards or corrosion) may justify smaller reductions; the key is to negotiate based on visible issues and how they affect future costs, using the inspection as leverage while considering market heat and the offer's timing.
827 the psychology of property photography: what buyers really want to see
Q: What is the most important step in preparation that leads to a beautiful photography experience and strong final images?
Tackle maintenance issues first (painting, repairs, sanding, deck work) and ensure cleanliness and staging are aligned with the agent's guidance to create a strong, coherent marketing story.
827 the psychology of property photography: what buyers really want to see
Q: So Melissa, what are the biggest mistakes sellers make before listing their property?
The biggest mistake is doing nothing and not acting on professional guidance; preparation is key, including addressing maintenance, cleaning, and timely improvements to ensure the photos reflect a true, appealing space.
819 using equity vs saving cash, agent underquoting, help to buy + more
Q: How much of your equity can be used to buy an investment property without depleting reserves?
You can use a portion of usable equity, such as 200,000-300,000 in the example given, along with smaller amounts for costs, without needing to cash in hand a full deposit.
