  • The GOAT of podcasts

    Absolute must listen to every single episode. Not only is it insightful but I feel like running through a brick wall every time Sammy gets on a heater. A good mix of banter and business

  • Foul language and unlicensed advice

    Scary how much financial advice is given by people with absolutely no qualifications. It’s a big bogan property bro pat yourself on the backfest riddled with bad language and toxic bro culture aimed mainly at selling courses. And fellas you are not property geniuses for buying property when interest rates were zero and everyone was forced to live in their houses fuelling the biggest housing property boom in Australia’s history. That’s called good luck.

  • Self-promoting echo chamber

    A few bits of big-picture value having listened for a fair while, and some good case studies, but there’s definitely a point of diminishing returns. After that point it just feels like tuning in to a lengthy infomercial designed to sell you School of Property.

    The co-host doesn’t need to harp every episode about the value of engaging professional help… It just comes across as a sycophantic sales pitch.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Mon & Lloyd Went From $10K to a $2.94M Property Portfolio in 3 Years
Q: What is the couple's advice to someone who is skeptical about starting in property?
Mons recommends educating yourself and believing in your ability to make progress. Lloyd advises finding a trusted team that has done what you hope to do, learning from them, and taking consistent small steps.
How Mon & Lloyd Went From $10K to a $2.94M Property Portfolio in 3 Years
Q: What helped Mons move from skepticism about property investing to feeling that it was their shared project?
She learned the terminology and fundamentals through School of Property, taking notes on concepts such as LVR. As her understanding grew, she became more confident and saw property investing as something they were building together.
Property Vs Business, Truth About Building a 150+ Property Portfolio + Key to Portfolio Management
Q: At what point does owning more properties stop making you wealthier and start making your life more complicated?
Gordon says it depends on an investor's capacity to manage complexity and solve problems. He reached his own limit at 54 properties while running a business, and says a larger portfolio can justify hiring someone to help manage it.
Property Vs Business, Truth About Building a 150+ Property Portfolio + Key to Portfolio Management
Q: Everyone talks about the opportunities in Australian property right now. What's the biggest risk you think investors are completely underestimating?
Gordon says the biggest risk is relying on old strategies and assuming a stagnant or declining market will recover by itself. He encourages active portfolio management, including selling assets, recycling equity, reducing debt, and moving capital into markets with better growth prospects.
Is Now Really the Best Buying Window in 7 Years?
Q: So trying to time the bottom of the market is impossible. I would say if you have the ability to buy, then buy.
Gordon says waiting to identify the bottom is unreliable: prices may turn sooner than expected, and suitable listings may sell or attract more competition. He advises investors who can buy to keep moving rather than wait for a perfect entry point.
