Michael Killiner, Director of Tusk Finance, joins Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty to break down what the negative gearing and capital gains tax changes actually mean for borrowing capacity, serviceability and cash flow. This is the most significant lending shakeup Australian property investors have faced since the interest-only caps of 2017, and most of it is happening quietly inside bank policy rather than in the headlines.

Michael covers how lenders are now assessing rental income, why first home buyer lodgments have fallen since the Budget and how the guarantee scheme backfired, the real cash flow position on a $700,000 investment property, and the everyday commitments quietly destroying loan applications. He also explains why negative gearing is not gone so much as delayed, how debt recycling still works in 2026, and how to structure offset accounts and lending across major and non-bank lenders for the current environment.

At 25, Emma Roberts owns a $10 million property portfolio in Australia, three cafes, and a mortgage broking business, all starting from a casual wage as a broke university student. If you think the Australian property market has locked out your generation, this episode will challenge everything you believe about getting started.At just 20 years old, with no financial safety net and a casual income that banks repeatedly dismissed, she made her first property purchase and has not stopped since. Now sitting at nine properties and a tenth settling, her portfolio approach to property investment in Australia is built on a cash flow focus, dual occupancy conversions, rooming house models, and relentless equity reuse, strategies that most first home buyers and investors are never told about.In this episode of the Follio Property Podcast, Emma walks through every major decision in her property portfolio journey in Australia. She also reveals the lending battle that nearly derailed her portfolio and how discovering alt-doc financing through a specialist mortgage broker became the turning point in her entire real estate investing journey.Whether you are a first-home buyer trying to get a foothold in the Australian property market, an investor looking to scale a cash-flow-positive portfolio, or simply someone trying to understand how to invest in property in Australia on a realistic income, Emma's story is one of the most instructive case studies you will find anywhere in Australian property investment.*This episode was filmed prior to the Federal Budget announcement.*TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Introduction03:42 First Property at 20: Broke, Casual Wage, Banks Said No04:46 Second Property: Dual Tenancy and Levelling Up in Adelaide Hills06:39 Emma's Investment Strategy: Why She Buys Like an Owner-Occupier10:18 Rentvesting Explained: Did Emma Use It?14:27 The Lending Problem: Why Banks Rejected Her Airbnb Income14:59 The Mortgage Broker Advantage: Why Specialist Brokers Change Everything20:00 Self-Managing, Cash Buffers, and Keeping the Portfolio Running22:36 The Core Strategy: Renovate, Build Equity, Repeat23:28 The Rooming House Model: Maximum Yield, Affordable Living26:15 How This Strategy Hedges Against CGT and Negative Gearing Reform28:11 Advice for Gen Z and Millennials Who Feel Locked OutFollow Emma Roberts: Business: https://borrowwell.com.au/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heyemmaroberts/About The Follio Property PodcastEach week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

Regional property markets in Queensland are sitting on a structural time bomb, and most investors holding assets in Gladstone, Mackay, or the Sunshine Coast have no idea how close they are to serious losses. Property expert Josh Coleman joins the Follio Property Podcast to reveal exactly why the combination of budget policy changes, investor-heavy buyer pools, and the collapse of the "greater fool theory" is about to reset regional values across Australia.The Australian property market 2026 looks radically different for anyone holding regional assets compared to just 18 months ago. Josh Coleman maps out the risk profile of every major Queensland regional market using hard data. Markets like Gladstone and Mackay, where investor transactions dominate at over 70%, have been propped up by speculative buyer chains rather than genuine occupier demand.The housing market in Australia 2026 is not uniformly at risk. Townsville, with its defence spending and diversified economy, carries a different risk profile to Mackay. Toowoomba's metropolitan character provides another buffer. But for most pure regional markets across Queensland property market corridors, the expert warning is clear: reduce exposure before the Senate finalises the policy.What we have covered in this episode:✅ Why regional Queensland is the highest-risk asset class in Australia right now ✅ The policy double-hit: losing both negative gearing AND capital gains benefits simultaneously ✅ How Gladstone and Mackay rely on speculative investor chains with no owner-occupier floor ✅ Why Townsville is more resilient than Mackay despite both being regional markets

Perth property keeps growing. The noise doesn't.

In this special collab episode, a simulcast between The Follio Property Podcast and The Perth Property Show — Reece and Lachlan sit down with Trent Fleskens, host of The Perth Property Show and founder of Strategic Property Group, for an unfiltered conversation on what the federal budget actually means for Perth investors, why the city's fundamentals remain in a class of their own, and exactly where this market has left to run.

While Sydney falls and Melbourne flatlines, Perth is still north of 1% monthly growth. But with budget changes, rate hikes, and media noise hitting simultaneously, the question isn't whether Perth is strong, it's how to read it clearly.

Stop guessing and start localizing your strategy before the 2026 rental crisis tightens its grip.

Are you one of the millions of Australians quietly drowning in mortgage debt and nobody is telling you the real reason why? In this episode of the Follio Property Podcast, leading mortgage broker Chris Bates exposes the single lending mistake that locks Australian homeowners into financial traps for over a decade and what the government's tightening rules are quietly doing to your property investment future.

If you own property in Australia, or plan to, this is the most important conversation you'll watch this year. The Australian property market is shifting fast, and the rules of real estate investing have changed dramatically. Borrowing capacity has collapsed from 14x income to just 5x, vacancy rates sit at a brutal 1%, and thousands of homeowners are now mortgage prisoners, trapped with lenders like Pepper Money and Liberty Financial, unable to refinance, unable to sell without losing everything.

Chris Bates has spent his career advising homeowners, first home buyers, and seasoned investors on how to navigate one of the most complex home loan environments in Australian history. His core warning: "Property is as much a debt game as it is a property game." If you don't understand how to protect your borrowing capacity, your most valuable financial asset, the market will punish you.

This isn't doom and gloom. It's the financial literacy blueprint that separates the investors who ride the wave from the ones who get wiped out by it.

🎯 In This Episode You'll Discover:

✅ The #1 mortgage mistake that creates "mortgage prisoners" and how to avoid it at all costs

✅ Why overleveraging your home loan could set your property investment back a full decade

✅ The hidden danger of non-bank lenders (Pepper, Liberty) and what happens when credit tightens

✅ How to protect your borrowing capacity like "gunpowder" and when to use it strategically

✅ Why first home buyers in Australia are making the same catastrophic mistake repeatedly

With seven days until the May Federal Budget, breaking intel may has confirmed the Albanese government is moving to eradicate negative gearing altogether - grandfathered, but gone. On the same day the RBA announced another rate rise. Lachlan Delahunty is fired up, the data is damning, and we're not staying quiet.This wasn't a pre-recorded episode.

We went live because this cannot wait.

🎯 What's Covered In This Episode

✅ The election promise Labor just broke, and why Lachlan says this is "bullshit"

✅ 2.2 to 2.3 million property investors in Australia — and over 80% own just one property. This isn't targeting greedy landlords. It's hitting middle Australia.

✅ Why scrapping negative gearing will destroy the people it's supposed to help — renters

✅ What happened to rents in Australia when negative gearing was removed from 1985 to 1987 — double digit growth

✅ New Zealand's cautionary tale: introduced changes, reversed them within 12 months due to "detrimental impact"

✅ Why grandfathering will actually freeze supply — investors will hold forever rather than sell

✅ The RBA rate rise that landed the same day — and what it means for the mom and dad investor already under pressure

✅ First home buyers gifted 95% LVR loans at 5.2% — now facing rates in the sixes in a declining market

✅ Why keeping negative gearing on new builds only will flood the market with low-spec apartments (see: Brisbane)

✅ The smart money workaround: trusts, company structures — and why that makes things harder for everyday Australians

✅ 11 trillion in property vs. 2.6 trillion in debt — the stats that blow apart the "boomers hoarding gains" narrative

✅ What a fair reform actually looks like — and why capping by number of properties beats scrapping it entirely

✅ How to make your voice heard in the next seven days before it's too late

Most people never build real wealth, not because they're lazy, but because they've been lied to about how money actually works. Glen James breaks down the truth about wealth creation that the finance industry doesn't want you to know.

Glen James is one of Australia's most trusted voices in personal finance and the host of the Money Money Money podcast.

📊 Is your portfolio hiding 'C-grade' assets? Get the National Investment Report to see which Australian markets are facing headwinds in 2026 and how to protect your capital: https://441711975.hs-sites-ap1.com/follio-property-podcast-content-subscriber?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_id=Episode+58

Is your property portfolio actually working for you or silently bleeding returns?

In this episode of the Follio Property Podcast, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty reveal why 60-70% of Australian investor portfolios they review have capital sitting in the wrong assets or the wrong locations and most owners have no idea.

With Westpac flagging three more back-to-back rate rises and real headwinds building for the Australian property market in 2026, the investors who thrive won't be the ones who buy more they'll be the ones who optimise what they already own.

And then there's the CGT reform that's quietly reshaping investor decision-making. Is the proposed cut from 50% to 33% a reason to hold or the signal to act? The answer might surprise you.

If you're sitting on one, two, or three investment properties and wondering whether you're truly getting the most out of them, this episode gives you the exact checklist to find out.

We discuss:

• Why the 2026 Australian property market demands a proactive investor mindset
• Westpac's interest rate predictions and how rising rates are reshaping portfolio decisions
• The 60-70% problem: How to know if your capital is sitting in the wrong place
• The full portfolio review framework: goals, credit, asset quality, and location
• C vs D-grade assets: when to hold and when to sell during the FOMO phase
• Rental income optimisation, why your property manager may be costing you thousands
• Highest and best use analysis: adding bedrooms, ancillary accommodation, and cosmetic renovations

Is fear costing you the greatest property buying opportunity in the last 5 years, or is the worst yet to come for the Australian housing market in 2026?

In this episode of The Follio Property Podcast, Reece and Lachlan break down the real impact of the US-Iran war, rising inflation, and the RBA's next move on Australian property and why the investors sitting on the fence right now could be making the same costly mistake they made during COVID.

With record migration numbers (57,000 arrivals in January alone!) and the RBA forecasting 3-5 more rate rises, the "Confidence Gap" between seasoned investors and first-time buyers is widening. We reveal the exact "low-ball" auction strategy that is working right now in Melbourne and Sydney, and why Darwin’s recent sentiment collapse is a warning sign for real estate Australia as a whole.

Whether you're a first-time buyer finally seeing negotiating power return to your hands, or a seasoned investor looking to capitalise on this window of fear-driven opportunity, this episode gives you the complete picture of where Australian property is heading and what to do about it.

In This Episode You'll Learn:

• The Fear Trap: Why fearful investors will look back at 2026 and regret sitting on the fence
• War & Inflation: How the US-Iran conflict is driving fuel, food and mortgage costs for Australian households
• RBA's Next Move: Why 3-5 rate rises are now being forecast and what it means for your borrowing power
• The Migration Crisis: Why 57,000 arrivals in January 2026 is making the housing shortage dramatically worse

✅ The UK Disaster: Why Britain's property market is "completely butchered" after similar landlord tax changes

✅ Melbourne's Perfect Storm: Why the Melbourne property market is showing the biggest stress signals and where the smart money opportunity sits

✅ The SMSF Trap: Why self-managed super fund property investment is getting riskier with ASIC cracking down on social media "lead generation" operators

Is the "Buy and Hold" era officially over? With property prices soaring 13% last year and interest rates squeezing borrowing capacity, the 2026 market is no longer doing the "heavy lifting" for investors.

📊 EXCLUSIVE ACCESS: THE NATIONAL INVESTMENT REPORT (MARCH 2026) We have just launched our most comprehensive deep dive into the 2026 Australian property landscape. 👉 To get first access, click the link here: https://441711975.hs-sites-ap1.com/follio-property-podcast-content-subscriber ?utm_source=ep+50&utm_medium=youtube&utm_id=podcastIn this episode of The Folio Property Podcast, Reece Beddall & Lachlan Delahunty scrap the planned agenda to have a raw, honest conversation about what actually works in a high-interest environment. They break down the death of "Lazy Investing", the habit of buying an asset and simply hoping for market growth, and introduce the Active Value-Add Playbook.

From turning "derelict sheds" into high-yielding granny flats to the math behind the 90% Land-to-Asset ratio, this episode is a blueprint for anyone feeling "handicapped" by their current income or borrowing limits. If you want to see 120% returns while your neighbours see 60%, you need to stop waiting for the market and start activating your assets.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• The Death of Lazy Investing: Why buying within 5km of your house without a strategy is a recipe for stagnation in the next 5 years.
• The 80/20 Land Rule: Why value-add investors should look for properties where 80-90% of the value is in the land, and how to spot them.
• The "Stage-Prong" Renovation: How to use natural market uplift to pull equity and fund your own "artificial" value-add.
• Serviceability Secrets: How a $50/week rent increase can unlock the "debt trap" and allow you to buy your next property sooner.
• Retain & Subdivide Strategy: Why you should activate subdivision approvals immediately (even if you don't build) as a "rainy day" insurance policy.
• The "Mom & Dad" Mistake: Why over-renovating a rental in year one is a $50,000 mistake that most investors don't see coming.

In this episode of The Follio Property Podcast, Reece Beddall & Lachlan Delahunty tackle the ultimate 2026 dilemma: should you buy the "Aussie Dream" home (PPOR) or become a strategic Rentvestor? With the property ladder harder to climb than ever, getting this first step wrong can set your wealth-building journey back by half a decade.

We pull back the curtain on the "PPOR Handbrake", the common mistake of over-leveraging on a personal residence and crippling your serviceability. Lachlan breaks down why he prefers Location Quality over Asset Quality, explaining why a "B-grade" villa in an "A-grade" suburb beats a house in a speculative regional town every single time.

Whether you are a first-time investor entering an "Aggressive Accumulation Phase" or a homeowner trying to understand why your bank won't let you go again, this episode is your strategic blueprint for the current market.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• The PPOR Handbrake: Why buying your "forever home" too early is the #1 mistake that kills serviceability and stops a portfolio in its tracks.
• The Rentvesting Edge: How to use rental income and tax benefits to stay aggressive in the market while maintaining your lifestyle.
• The 3 Accumulation Phases: A breakdown of the property lifecycle, from your first three "cornerstone" assets to the eventual upgrade phase.
• Location vs. Asset: Why you should hunt for B or C-grade assets (villas/units) in A-grade locations rather than chasing "sugar hits" in remote regionals.

• 2026 Debt Traps: Why car loans, credit cards, and "bad debt" are the ultimate deal-killers when the bank pulls out the fine-tooth comb.
• Fast-Tracking Equity: How to generate growth quickly to enable your second and third purchase faster than the bank’s standard forecast.

In this episode of The Folio Property Podcast, Reece Beddall & Lachlan Delahunty pull no punches as they break down the February 2026 National Investment Report. Following the Reserve Bank’s first rate hike in two years and the government’s controversial proposal to slash the Capital Gains Tax (CGT) discount, the stakes for Australian investors have never been higher.

We dive into the "moronic" policy shifts that Lachlan warns will "crush" rental supply and the cold, hard data of a market that refuses to slow down. While Sydney remains vulnerable to the cash rate, cities like Perth and Brisbane are defying gravity with record-low listings and 2% monthly growth. Is this a sustainable "runway," or are we sprinting toward an affordability ceiling that will force thousands to sell prematurely?

Whether you’re a first-home buyer navigating the new 5% deposit grants or a seasoned investor trying to protect your cash flow in a 3.5% inflation environment, this episode is your 2026 survival guide.

In This Episode

• The CGT Disgrace: Why the government’s plan to halve the capital gains exemption is being called a "disgrace" that will worsen the housing crisis.
• The 1.2M Target Myth: Why the 1.3 million new arrivals in three years have made the government's housing promises look "incompetent."
• Perth’s Power Play: The data behind the 2% monthly growth and why 35% of the market is selling every single week.
• Sydney’s Vulnerability: Why the harbour city is at the most risk from rising interest rates and where the "smart money" is moving instead.
• Rental Surge (44%): The brutal reality of why rents are skyrocketing and how investors are actually the only ones bringing supply to the market.2026 Sentiment Index: Why 90% of investors remain "bullish" despite the headlines, and the 5% who are preparing to sell.
• Cash Flow vs. Capital Growth: Strategic methodologies to increase your yield through renovations and secondary dwellings as the "cost of money" rises.

Key Themes:

• Australian property market forecast 2026
• Capital Gains Tax (CGT) changes impact
• RBA interest rate hike February 2026
• Perth and Brisbane housing supply crisis
• National Investment Report data insights
• Affordability ceiling and market runways
• Investor sentiment and portfolio sustainability

If you haven’t done a property portfolio health check for 2026, this is your sign to start optimizing your real estate investing Australia strategy.

Off the back of our previous episodes calling out property spruikers, we received an overwhelming amount of feedback and more disturbing stories.

In this bonus episode, we go deep inside the sales tactics used by property spruikers/scams; how they emotionally manipulate investors, and why near-retirees and people with superannuation are their primary target.

• Why off-the-plan property is pushed so aggressively
• How commissions of $80,000–$90,000 per sale influence advice

The warning signs every investor and their family needs to know

Using real examples and personal experience, including a regional Victoria off-the-plan townhouse that stalled growth for five years. We unpack how poor asset selection can set you back half a decade, while one strong growth asset can fast-track you to properties #2, #3 and beyond.

We also cover:• why high yield + high capital growth rarely exist together• how compounding growth (6.5-7% long-term) should shape your strategy• when to introduce cash flow assets like commercial property• how land value impacts long-term performance• using value-add strategies to accelerate equity• why serviceability, not equity, becomes the bottleneck• the “accidental landlord” trap and how to plan ahead• how to structure debt through life stages (upgrading, upsizing, and trading strategies)

If you want to build a multi-property portfolio while still paying down your home, this episode gives you the blueprint on exactly how to set up your first investment the right way.

In this episode of the Folio Property Podcast, Lachlan Delahunty and Reece Beddall break down six critical data points to explain exactly where the Australian property market is heading, and why Melbourne may now offer a once-in-a-generation buying opportunity, despite Perth’s recent boom.

We compare Perth vs Melbourne property markets, analysing price growth, rental yields, affordability, population growth, stock on market, and land tax. And more importantly, cutting through headlines, fear, and misinformation dominating social media.

You’ll hear why Perth may still deliver short-term double-digit growth, but why Melbourne’s long-term fundamentals, affordability, and supply squeeze could make it the best medium-to-long-term investment play in Australia right now.

If you’re wondering whether investors are buying Perth, or whether Melbourne is quietly bottoming and recovering, this episode breaks it all down with real data, not opinions.

Key Themes:

• Melbourne vs Perth: Which market actually offers better value in 2026
• Is Perth nearing the top of the property cycle?
• Why Melbourne has had its longest stagnation period in 30 years
• Historical growth rates: Melbourne’s consistency vs Perth’s volatility
• Why Adelaide is now one of the most unaffordable markets in Australia
• The Sydney vs Melbourne pricing gap, and why it matters
• Short-term vs long-term investing strategies

In this episode of The Follio Property Podcast, Reece and Lachlan are joined by Rowen Powell. Director of Verve Buyers Agency and one of Perth’s most experienced buyers agents in both the prestige and family-home markets. Together, they unpack the real reasons behind Perth’s runaway price growth, why listings are at historic lows, how buyer psychology is shifting, what compromises homebuyers are being forced to make, and why transparency in WA’s market has never been worse.

We go deep into the mechanics of the 2025 Perth market:

- Why established homes are outperforming new builds

- How replacement costs have reshaped values from $1M villas to $15M prestige homes

- Why the 5% deposit scheme is pushing prices up, not helping affordability

- Why first-home buyers face a 3–4 step “ladder” before reaching their forever home- How off-market deals actually work (and the real reasons people sell off-market)

- What defines a good buyers agent from a dangerous one- Why micro-markets and school zones are dictating hundreds of thousands in value

- What suburbs in Perth remain underrated in 2025Whether you're buying your first home, upgrading, or navigating the high-end Western Suburbs market, this conversation gives you the on-the-ground intel you can’t get from portals, sales agents, or lagging data.

In this episode of The Folio Property Podcast, Reece and Lachlan unpack one of the most talked-about questions in the Australian real estate:

Does the property market really move in predictable cycles?And if so… what does that mean for Australia in 2025, 2026, and beyond?

We break down the four phases of the cycle, the history behind Phil Anderson’s research, how the theory ties into US markets, and what happened in past downturns like the GFC. More importantly, we look at whether Australia is positioned for a fall, why speculation is rising, what the “winner’s curse” phase means, and whether everyday buyers should be worried or preparing for opportunity.

Whether you're an investor, first-home buyer, or simply curious about the future of Australian property, this is a grounded, data-rich conversation that cuts through the noise.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• What the 18.6-year property cycle actually is
• Why it's trending globally and why some people treat it like a “cult”
• The four phases every market moves through
• What happened from the 2007 peak → GFC crash → 2012 recovery
• How mid-cycle slowdowns occur (and why COVID fits the pattern)
• What the winner’s curse phase looks like and why 2024–2026 matters
• Why Australian markets didn’t fall as hard as the US during the GFC
• The truth about private debt, risk levels, and market vulnerability
• Why tangible assets like property often strengthen during downturns
• What smart investors do when markets dip
