The Population Ponzi Property Investors Must Understand
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
Australia doesn’t just have a housing problem. We have a city problem. And it’s about to get a lot worse, according to my guest today, Ross Elliott. Everyone talks about housing shortages. Almost no one talks about hospitals, schools and services. So today, we’re asking the question policymakers avoid – how much infrastructure do our cities actually need for the people we’re adding? It’s all about capacity - not just the number of people our cities can hold, but whether Australia’s infrastructure and planning systems can keep up. Ross has been writing about...

Why Are Property Prices STILL Rising? (No One Expected This) | Dr Andrew Wilson
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
If you’re feeling uncertain about what’s really going on in the property market right now… you’re not alone. Because the biggest challenge facing our housing markets today isn’t interest rates, inflation, or even affordability… It’s uncertainty. We’ve got multiple forces all moving at once - some pushing prices higher, others working against them - and for many investors, that’s making it harder than ever to form a clear view of what comes next. And yet… despite all that… property prices are still rising. So what’s really...

Why Successful Property Investors Play the Long Game with Ken Raiss
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
You’ve probably noticed your social media feed is full of new “property experts.” Twenty-somethings showing off cars, watches, and “instant success” stories — all promising to help you get rich in record time. But property doesn’t work like that. What they don’t tell you is that property isn’t a sprint; it’s a marathon. Today I’m joined by Ken Raiss, and together we unpack why real wealth is built slowly, strategically, and patiently. I know that sounds boring, but stick with us as we discuss the rise of inexperienced, hype-driven buyer’s agents...

What the Top 1% of Property Investors Do Differently | Brett Warren
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
What if the biggest reason you’ll never build a $50 million property portfolio has nothing to do with money? What if it’s not your income, your borrowing capacity, your suburb selection or even the market cycle that determines how far you go? And what if the investors who end up with $100 million or $200 million portfolios don’t actually do anything dramatically different from everyone else… they just do a few things differently for much longer? Most property investors never ask those questions. Instead, they assume that large-scale wealth is reserved for...

The Two-Speed Property Market of 2026 Explained | Stuart Wemyss
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
Some properties will deliver exceptional growth over the next few years, while others will barely move in value. And the frustrating part is they could be only a few kilometres apart. If you’re relying on city-wide averages, headlines, or last year’s “hotspot,” you could be positioning yourself in the slow lane without even realising it. Today, with Stuart Wemyss I unpack exactly where the momentum is likely to build in 2026… where it probably won’t… and most importantly, how to tell the difference before you commit hundreds of thousands - or millions - of...

The Strategic Way to Build Wealth Through Property | Brett Warren
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
Most property investors don’t have a strategy. They think they do. But buying a property is not a strategy. Renovating is not a strategy. Chasing a hotspot is definitely not a strategy. Today, Brett Warren, National Director of Property at Metropole and I explain the difference between buying a property and having a strategic property plan. We’ll also discuss when value-add strategies like renovations and developments actually make sense, and when they’re a dangerous distraction. Takeaways ...

New Data Reveals Where Property Is Heading in 2026 | Dr Nicola Powell
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
Is 2026 the year Australia’s housing market splits in two? We’ve had another interest rate rise. There’s talk of tax reform. Global political instability is back on the radar. And yet, in some cities, entry-level property prices are still surging at double-digit rates. So what’s really going on? Are we heading for a slowdown… or are supply shortages and strong demand about to push prices higher again? Today I’m joined by Dr Nicola Powell, Chief of Research & Economics for Domain, and while we’ll unpack their latest First Home Buyer Report, this...

The Capital Gains Tax Debate: What Property Investors Must Know, with Ken Raiss
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
What if the next big housing reform doesn’t fix housing affordability at all? What if it doesn’t lower property prices, doesn’t deliver much extra money to the government for years, but it scares investors out of the market and makes renting even harder? Because that’s exactly what could happen if Australia changes the Capital Gains Tax discount - and it’s back on the political agenda again. Today one of Australia’s leading taxation minds, Ken Raiss and I unpack what’s really going on. Supporters of the change are saying it’s about fairness....

Are Property Investors Really Greedy… or Just an Easy Scapegoat? With Brett Warren
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
Every time rents rise, affordability worsens, or housing shortages make headlines, one group is dragged into the spotlight. Property investors. They’re called greedy. Accused of hoarding homes. Blamed for locking younger Australians out of the market. But is that actually true… or just a convenient narrative? After more than five decades in property investment, I’ve noticed a pattern. When housing gets hard, governments deflect. Media simplify. And investors become an easy target. But here’s the real question we need to ask: If property investors...
info_outlineHave you ever wondered why some locations that could be labelled as 'secondary’ outperform the established blue-chip suburbs?
What drives this unexpected surge in property value, and more importantly, is this a trend that savvy investors should be paying attention to?
Should you be looking for these suburbs, or should you stick to blue-chip locations?
I’d like to know if this is a mere market fluctuation, or are we witnessing a fundamental shift in what defines a 'smart investment' in our property markets?
That’s what I ask my guest today, leading independent financial advisor, Stuart Wemyss, director of Prosolution private client.
