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. ...

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...

Why Inflation Isn’t Dying - And What the RBA Will Do Next that property investors must understand. Ken Raiss
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
Inflation has eased… except where it hasn’t. Interest rates were meant to be heading down… until they weren’t. And suddenly everyone’s blaming government spending. But is Canberra really the culprit - or is that just a convenient headline? Today, Ken Raiss and I unpack what’s actually driving Australia’s sticky inflation, why the RBA is worried about “capacity constraints”, and what policy makers could do that would genuinely take pressure off prices - without smashing households and without sabotaging the property market. Now you've probably read about inflation and heard...

The Silent Shift Reshaping Australia’s Property Market | Simon Kuestenmacher
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
What if I told you that one of the most significant demographic shifts shaping our cities, our housing markets, and even our social lives over the next few decades… isn’t migration, isn’t birth rates, and isn’t ageing? It’s something far more personal. In today’s show, Simon Kuestenmacher and I are talking about a silent revolution - the rise of the single-person household. More Australians than ever are living alone, and it’s not just retirees or Gen Zs in tiny apartments. From the newly single at 54 to the solo 29-year-old navigating life on their terms,...

The 5 Step Process That Rewires Your Brain for Wealth | Tom Corley
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
What if the biggest obstacle between you and the life you want isn’t the market, the economy or your upbringing... but your programming? What if your money habits, your emotional reactions and even your results as a property investor are simply the byproducts of a mindset you inherited rather than chose? And what if you could rewrite that programming? In today’s show Tom Corley and I discuss how early life experiences shape our habits and beliefs, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness, gratitude, continuous learning, and building relationships. We also...

Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
Today Ken Raiss and I reflect on the evolution of property investment over the past two decades, discussing significant changes in demographics, market conditions, and more importantly, what hasn’t changed.

Why Home Ownership Is Falling – And What It Means for Australia’s Property Future | Simon Kuestenmacher
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
Today, Simon Kuestenmacher and I examine the evolving landscape of home ownership in Australia. For generations, owning a home has been at the heart of the Australian dream. In 1966, nearly three-quarters of Australian households owned their home, either outright or with a mortgage. Fast-forward to the 2021 Census, and that figure had slipped to just 63 per cent. For younger Australians, the drop has been even steeper. And while renting is far more common today, the cost of entry into home ownership has never been higher. So what’s driving this change? Is it...
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.
