The construction picture is serious. Fixed-price contracts are sending builders to the wall. Metricon cancelled...

Latest RBA Rate Hike, Middle East Conflict & What It Means for Australian Property
Positive Property Show with George Markoski | Money for Life Tips for Property Investors
The RBA has once again hiked the cash rate, now to 4.1%, with two more hikes expected and markets pricing in 4.6% by December 2026. The driving force is the Middle East conflict, which has led to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, the chokepoint for 20% of the world's entire oil supply. Oil has spiked from $70 to $104 a barrel. With zero oil tankers, only two refineries, and real fuel reserves of around 10 to 18 days, Australia is significantly more exposed to this kind of supply disruption than most people realise. Much of what is counted in official reserve figures is fuel still in...

In this episode, George and Christina Markoski set aside the regular market update to dig into the political forces threatening Australian property investors right now.

info_outlineIn this episode, George breaks down APRA’s new Debt-to-Income (DTI) rule coming in February 2026—and why investors shouldn’t panic. The rule limits banks to approving only 20% of new loans to borrowers with a DTI above six, but most lenders are already well below this threshold.
George explains how this move is more of a light “tune-up” than a crackdown, aimed at slowing down high-risk borrowers while creating a rare buying window for educated investors. With fewer investors able to borrow, rental supply tightens, rents rise, and cash flow strengthens—setting up a classic accumulation phase.
Mortgage broker Barbara adds that lenders still have plenty of room under the cap, and experienced investors often get more flexibility from banks than first-timers.
George also answers questions on rental vacancies, buying property with a partner, Super 6 structures, commercial property risks, inheritance tax, and why Victoria may currently be one of the strongest buying opportunities.
