The RBA’s Tightrope: What It Means for 2026 & What it means for Property Investors | Ken Raiss
Property Investment, Success & Money | The Michael Yardney Podcast
Today Ken Raiss and I zoom out from the noise, unpack what’s really going on beneath the surface, and help you make sense of the shifting forces shaping our economy, our property markets, and your long-term wealth. The RBA wrapped up the year with a steady hand, but the tone behind that decision has raised more than a few eyebrows. Sure inflation is easing… except where it’s not. Growth is soft… except where it matters. And the Board is hinting that some of these price pressures may be more persistent than we hoped. So the narrative of “rate cuts in 2026” suddenly...

In today’s episode, we’re stepping away from opinions and into the evidence as Dr Andrew Wilson unpacks his end-of-December House Price Report, and it reveals not just where prices moved in 2025, but why they moved, and what that means as we...

Property Prices Accelerate in November | Dr. Andrew Wilson
Property Investment, Success & Money | The Michael Yardney Podcast
Have you noticed how the Australian property market keeps defying the pessimists? Every time someone says prices have to fall, the market seems to tap them on the shoulder and say, “Not so fast.” Well, the latest November home price report is out, and it paints a very clear picture: Australia’s housing markets are still running hot - and in some cities, they’re running very hot.

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.
