If You’re Self-Employed, You Can’t Afford to Miss This

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 07:00:00 +1100

Description

If you’re self-employed, run a trade business, operate as a contractor, or manage a growing company, this episode could save you from the most common mistake business owners make when scaling.

Winning work is exciting. Funding the growth to deliver it is where businesses either level up… or fall apart.

In this episode, Aaron sits down with equipment and vehicle finance specialist Chanel to unpack what really happens behind the scenes when businesses take on bigger contracts, expand their fleet, or try to grow without strangling their cash flow.

From mining contractors needing millions in equipment to tradies upgrading from one ute to a full fleet, this conversation reveals how smart operators structure finance so growth becomes sustainable - not stressful.

You’ll also hear why profitable businesses still fail, why banks don’t fund “potential,” and how the right advisory team can turn debt into a strategic advantage instead of a risk.

If you’re self-employed, planning to scale, or already feeling the pressure of growth - this episode is essential listening.

Money, Marriage, & Financial Freedom - Part Two

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 07:00:00 +1100

This episode is a deep, no-holds-barred conversation about why most couples feel stuck financially, even on high incomes, and what it actually takes to break free.

We unpack Ray Dalio’s idea of the “Titus point” of life. That critical stage many people hit in their 40s, where you’re juggling kids, careers, mortgages, and responsibility. You can’t afford to be careless anymore, but you also can’t afford to stand still.

From there, the conversation goes where most property podcasts don’t.

We talk about:

Why high income does not equal wealth
The rise of HENRYs (High Earners, Not Rich Yet)
How lifestyle creep silently kills momentum
Why clarity as a couple matters more than hotspot locations
The power of intentional goal-setting and execution
Delayed gratification vs short-term dopamine spending
Why most people never escape mortgage jail
And how investing is less about property and more about psychology

You’ll hear practical frameworks like:

Finding $150 per week to fund an investment property
Cutting “leaky buckets” instead of chasing cashflow unicorns
Why capital growth does the heavy lifting, not your payslip
How couples can build momentum with structure, communication, and shared vision

But more than tactics, this episode is about ownership.

No blaming the government. No waiting for the market to change. No outsourcing responsibility for your future.

If you’re a couple earning good money but wondering, “Why don’t we feel ahead?”, this episode will hit close to home.

And if you’re ready to stop consuming information and start taking action, this conversation is your nudge.

Because success loves momentum, and mediocrity only survives when it’s tolerated.

🎧 Listen with your partner. Pause together. Then decide what your plan is.

Money, Marriage, & Financial Freedom - Part One

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 13:00:00 +1100

Money is one of the biggest pressure points in any relationship- but it doesn’t have to be.

In this deeply honest episode, Aaron is joined by his wife and business partner, Bernadette, for a behind-the-scenes conversation about marriage, money, mindset, and building wealth together.

They unpack the real conversations couples avoid: financial friction, mismatched money beliefs, decision fatigue, lifestyle sacrifices, and why trying to pay off a 30-year mortgage alone can feel so heavy. Instead, they walk through a simpler, clearer alternative - using property investing strategically to shorten the timeline to freedom.

This episode isn’t about hotspots or hype. It’s about how couples align financially, fight fair with money, and create clarity through systems, buckets, and shared vision.

You’ll hear:

Why financial conflict is normal - and how to use it to get aligned instead of drifting apart
The “bucket” system they use to remove guilt, arguments, and decision fatigue
Why paying off your home and investing at the same time can change your life
How a 5-10 year mortgage-free plan feels very different from a 30-year burden
What “stealth wealth” really looks like - and why flashy assets often hold people back
How clarity, automation, and roles inside a relationship reduce stress and resentment

If you’re the only one in your relationship listening to property or finance podcasts - this is the episode to send to your partner.

This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation. Press play, listen together, and start having the conversations that compound over the next decade.

The New Lending Reality

Mon, 02 Feb 2026 06:00:00 +1100

Major banks are pulling back from trust lending, so how do investors keep growing?

In this episode, Aaron and Nate break down the new lending reality facing Australian property investors, from the rise of non-bank lenders to managing debt-to-income ratios, valuations, and equity without killing cash flow.

They unpack why lender names matter less than strategy, how credit management can unlock borrowing power, and the hidden risks of cross-securitisation. If you’re serious about building a scalable, long-term property portfolio, this episode is essential listening.

Key takeaways:

Intentionality and focus can lead to significant achievements in property investment.
The major banks are moving away from trust lending, making non-bank lenders more relevant.
Investors should prioritise property acquisition over lender names and rates.
Building a wealth-focused team is crucial for successful property investment.
Managing credit effectively can enhance borrowing capacity.
Understanding the impact of interest rates on cash flow is essential for investors.
Valuations and equity stripping are key strategies for portfolio growth.
Cross-securitised properties can complicate investment strategies and should be managed carefully.
Self-managed super funds offer unique advantages for property investment.
Cash flow management is critical for sustaining a growing property portfolio.

Property prices increased nationally by $1,620 per week. WHY waiting to buy is not the right strategy.

Mon, 18 Mar 2024 09:00:00 +1100

If you are waiting for the right time to buy property in Australia, you would have to save $1,620 on average per week to keep up with property price increases. That’s right - on average the Australian property price increases by $1,620 per week.

From January 1st 2023 to January 1st 2024 we saw property prices increase in value by an average of more than:

$125,000 SYD ($2,400 per week)
$103,000 BNE ($2,000 per week)
$100,000 PER ($1,900 per week)
$67,000 ADE ($1,300 per week)
$27,000 MEL ($500 per week)

According to the latest ABS figures, the average Australian household saves approximately $192 per week. So if you are waiting or trying to save more, chances are you will never keep pace with the property market.

In this episode, we discuss the significance of understanding market cycles, the real cost of waiting too long to invest and the benefits of strategic investments in different areas of Australia. If you’re looking to make your first investment and create a legacy for your family, tune in to this episode!

HOW Auction Snitch is changing the auction experience for bidders and bringing transparency to the Auction process

Fri, 01 Mar 2024 08:00:00 +1100

Are Auctions subject to finance? Are Auctions legally binding? Can Auctioneers lie about bids?

But the most important question is: how much did that property actually sell for at Auction?

If you’ve heard the horror stories - you inspect the property, do all your research, get finance ready and the Contract of Sale reviewed. The price guide is within your budget and then the first bid is more than your total budget!

This happens at auctions all around the country. Every. Single. Weekend.

Why is there no transparency?

Good news! There is and the answer is an app called Auction Snitch! In this episode, Aaron Christie-David interviews the co-creators: Tasmin Lapointe and Tori Huxtable.

We hear from them about their own experiences and why they built and launched this app (you’ll love why!). The goal of providing "hot off the press" property insights has served as benchmarking data crucial for informed decisions.

Tamsin Lapointe is an experienced Project and Program Manager with international, multi-sector delivery experience in IT software development and infrastructure projects.

Auction Snitch is an app designed for users to share real-time property prices and track sales campaign histories for listings of interest. With a pressing demand for increased transparency within the Australian property market, due to the absence of price guides on listings and delays in publishing auction results and sold prices, which directly impact their property decisions.

Jason Titus shares his journey from having $32,000 in savings to buying 4 properties within 2.5 years and now his investment property portfolio is valued at $1.9m and rising.

Buying in Sydney? This Buyers Agent tells you how to SUCCEED

Fri, 16 Feb 2024 09:00:00 +1100

Buying your own home or an investment property in Sydney takes grit, determination and creating an unfair advantage. Not everyone can afford to engage a Buyers Agent, so we’ve asked Ramon Cura to share his secrets.

The Sydney property market is competitive and agents may be underquoting a property or simply tell you to “make an offer”. This is not only frustrating when the property sells for well over the price guide or the first bid at auction exceeds your whole budget. So how do you stack the odds in your favour?

We ask Ramon this exact question and you want to hear his answers.

Bidding and buying at auction can be a nerve-wracking experience; when do you raise your paddle, by how much do you increase your bids and how do you bid successfully? With decades of experience under his belt and buying thousands of properties, Ramon shares the insiders tips on how to negotiate and bid with confidence.

About Ramon:

Beginning as a mortgage broker, Ramon not only gained invaluable experience helping his clients obtain loan approval to purchase a property, but he also noticed a gap in the real estate market. His clients then would constantly ask him for advice surrounding buying investment property and negotiating.

Recognizing an opportunity to better serve his clients, Ramon transitioned to representing buyers as a Buyer’s Agent, founding Cura Property in October 2010. Leveraging his extensive background in mortgage brokering, banking, and human resources, he's become known as the "go-to guy" for property advice. Authenticity, transparency, and negotiation skills, from finding investment properties to sealing deals of all kinds, Ramon's got it covered.

Renovate, Revalue, Release Equity - REPEAT! Todd Sloan shares his successful investing journey

Mon, 05 Feb 2024 09:00:00 +1100

Renovating a property is the fastest way to accelerate your investment property portfolio - you typically buy under market value, update through a strategic or cosmetic renovation and then get multiple lenders to revalue your renovated investment property. The increased value gives you an uplift in equity which then forms your deposit to buy your NEXT investment property.

The strategy has proven successful for our guest this week on the Australian Property Investment Podcast.

How will you make 2024 your best year yet? Whether it's being more consistent, re-prioritising your time, or setting audacious goals, this year presents a chance to level up your investing game.

Welcome to the Australian Property Investment Podcast. In each episode, we ask guest experts to share their key insights for aspiring investors to make confident property choices.

As we wrap up 2023 in Episode 129, it’s clear it was a year of highs and lows for property investors. Markets shifted, goals were achieved, and lessons were learned. Now, with 2024 ahead, we have an opportunity to apply these learnings to level up in the year to come.

There were definite challenges in 2023 – rising rates, cost of living pressures, and negativity abounded. But there were also accomplishments. Many secured investment properties, upgraded homes, and took their first steps into the market against the odds. We must focus on these wins, big and small.

While 2023 had challenges, it also gave vital lessons. With clarity on our visions and priorities, better daily habits, a commitment to positivity and a willingness to help others, we can make 2024 our most successful year yet on our property investment journeys. The time to level up is now.
