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...

20 Years of Property Investment Lessons from Wealth Retreat | Brett Warren
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
Have you ever noticed that some investors seem to move forward every year, while others stay stuck, despite reading the same books and listening to the same podcasts?

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Wealth Retreat, so Brett Warren and...

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...

Property Market Update – Where Prices Are Rising the Fastest | Dr Andrew Wilson
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
Interest rates are rising again. Inflation isn’t backing off. Sydney and Melbourne’s property markets are a little wobbly. And yet… National house prices are up more than 10% over the past year, and some capitals are still delivering boom-time results. So what’s really going on in Australia’s property markets right now? That's what I discussed today with Australia's leading housing economist, Dr Andrew Wilson, Chief Economist at My Housing Market, to unpack his latest housing market report and there are some fascinating contradictions. ...

The Property Rules Have Changed Again – How to Win in 2026 | Brett Warren
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
The property rules have changed… again. What worked five years ago won’t work the same way in 2026. The winners won’t be the loudest, the fastest, or the most aggressive – they’ll be the most strategic. So today, Brett Warren and I unpack exactly what’s changed, what still works, and how smart investors can position themselves to win in the next phase of the property cycle. We discuss the evolving landscape of property investment, emphasising the need for strategic planning and adaptability in response to changing market conditions. We explore the impact of...
info_outlineToday’s episode of the podcast is special because, if you're a property investor or planning to become one, we're going to uncover some shocking new rules that could cost you thousands, something all investors need to know, but we've found many don't know.
So I'm going to be chatting with the National Director of Metropole Property Management, Leanne Jopson, and we're going to talk about some of these new legislative changes.
Now, I'm sure you're aware the governments have implemented a series of legislative changes. State governments are seeming to change the rules over and over again. While the intention is to protect tenants, they've placed a much greater burden on landlords and property managers alike.
We're going to talk about government interference and some of the legislative changes, some of the burden of compliance, and I bet you didn't know the fines that you could face if your property doesn't meet minimum standards. I'll talk a bit about the rental markets and we're going to explain what you need to look for in a property manager.
