What if the smartest way to grow your property portfolio isn't waiting for property prices to rise — but creating the value yourself? In this episode of The Property Playbook, Hotspotting Managing Director Tim Graham sits down with Michael Pell from Propell Property to explore how investors can generate stronger rental income and potentially manufacture equity through duplex developments, dual-income properties and title subdivision. With borrowing costs and holding expenses putting pressure on investors, the conversation turns to strategies that can deliver more than traditional capital growth. In this episode, we explore: Why rental yield and cash flow are increasingly important for property investors How duplexes and dual-income properties can generate multiple rental streams The potential to manufacture equity by building two dwellings and splitting titles How duplex developments compare with traditional investment properties Why location, land selection and development feasibility matter The risks and costs investors need to understand before pursuing a duplex strategy The role of newly constructed properties under Australia's changing investment tax settings How investors can balance rental income, capital growth and long-term portfolio expansion The key takeaway? Successful property investing doesn't always mean waiting for the market to deliver capital growth. With the right property, location and strategy, investors may be able to create additional value themselves. Whether you're considering your first dual-income investment or looking for ways to take your existing portfolio further, this episode explores the opportunities and considerations behind a more active approach to property investing.

Victoria's property market is facing some significant changes to the way homes are advertised, priced and sold. But will the new rules deliver greater transparency for buyers, or create unintended consequences? In this episode of The Property Playbook, Hotspotting Managing Director Tim Graham is joined by Toby Balazs, CEO of the Real Estate Institute of Victoria (REIV), to unpack the changes to Victoria's property sales legislation and what they mean for buyers, sellers and real estate agents. At the centre of the discussion are the replacement of the traditional Statement of Information (SOI) with the new Property Price Statement (PPS), and controversial changes concerning the disclosure of auction reserve prices before auction day. The Victorian Government has positioned the reforms as a way to improve transparency and address underquoting, but the real estate industry has raised concerns about their practical implications. In this episode, we explore: What the new Property Price Statement (PPS) means for Victorian property buyers and sellers How the new requirements differ from the traditional Statement of Information Changes to the disclosure of auction reserve prices Why the REIV has raised concerns about aspects of the reforms Whether the changes will genuinely reduce underquoting The potential impact on auction campaigns and buyer expectations What the changes could mean for property sellers and real estate agents Whether greater price transparency will ultimately improve the buying experience The big question: Will these reforms make Victoria's property market fairer and more transparent, or could they introduce new challenges into an already complex buying and selling process? For anyone buying, selling or working in Victorian real estate, this is an important conversation about the changing rules of property transactions and what they could mean for the market.

Australia is facing a housing shortfall of an estimated 262,000 homes by 2029 — yet approvals, affordability and new housing delivery remain under serious pressure. In this interview on TickerNews, Hotspotting founder and Property Playbook co-host Terry Ryder joins the discussion to unpack why Australia’s housing supply crisis continues to deepen — and why he believes years of poor policy decisions have made the problem increasingly difficult to solve. Terry discusses: • Why Australia continues to fall short of the housing supply it needs • The impact of planning delays, bureaucracy and rising construction costs • How taxes, fees and government charges can account for a significant share of the cost of a new house and land package • Why encouraging investors to buy new property isn’t as simple as changing tax incentives • The widening affordability gap between new and established housing • Why units, regional markets and more affordable locations are proving more resilient • The fall in first-home buyer activity despite policies designed to help them • How higher interest rates are reducing borrowing capacity • Why property market downturns are rarely as uniform as the headlines suggest • Terry’s concerns about relying too heavily on major bank property forecasts Terry also explains why Australia doesn’t have one property market — and why affordability is increasingly determining which locations and property types are holding up best.

Interest rates, inflation, unemployment, housing supply and government debt are all pulling Australia’s property market in different directions. So which indicators should property investors actually be watching? In this episode of The Property Playbook, presented by Hotspotting, Chris Graham is joined by Cameron Kusher, Research & Development Lead at Hotspotting, to unpack the major economic forces shaping Australian property. Chris and Cameron explore: • What elevated government bond yields are telling us about inflation and borrowing costs • Why global competition for capital matters for Australia • Australia’s ongoing productivity challenge • What the latest building approvals and construction data tell us about housing supply • Why Australia has a record pipeline of housing under construction but still struggles to complete enough homes • How construction costs, interest rates, taxes and charges continue to undermine project feasibility • What is keeping inflation elevated • Why the labour market and rising unemployment matter to the Reserve Bank • Whether the RBA can bring inflation under control without causing too much economic damage • Why higher interest rates affect households very differently depending on their debt position • The important distinction between underlying demand for housing and buyers’ actual capacity to pay • Why rental affordability is forcing households to compromise on location and living arrangements Cameron also identifies some of the key indicators investors should watch over the next six to twelve months, including interest rates, inflation, listings, days on market, buyer competition and sales volumes. If you want to understand where Australia’s property market may be heading next, this episode goes beyond the headlines and looks at the economic data actually driving the market.

After years of intense competition, rushed decisions and buyers struggling to get agents to return their calls, has the balance of power finally shifted? In this episode of The Property Playbook, presented by Hotspotting, Terry Ryder is joined by Julian Nicolitsis, Co-Founder of PropMoves, to examine what buyers are experiencing on the ground across Australia’s property markets. With sales volumes easing, days on market increasing and competition reducing in many locations, Julian says buyers now have something they haven’t had for some time: negotiating power and time to make better decisions. Terry and Julian discuss: • Why agent behaviour can be one of the clearest signs of a changing market • Where buyers are gaining greater negotiating leverage • Why the higher-priced end of the market is feeling the slowdown more than affordable markets • How longer days on market are giving buyers more time for due diligence • Why terms and conditions can be just as valuable as negotiating on price • The mistakes buyers make when trying to perfectly time the bottom of the market • Why Melbourne could be presenting one of Australia’s strongest value opportunities • The importance of looking beyond the headlines to population growth, supply, infrastructure and replacement costs For investors who have spent the past few years complaining that markets were too competitive, this episode asks an important question: If you’ve been waiting for conditions to favour buyers, is this the opportunity you were waiting for?

Do property investors really need to choose between capital growth and positive cash flow? In this episode of The Property Playbook, presented by Hotspotting, Terry Ryder sits down with Jake Pipakis, Co-Founder of Real Deal Property, to challenge one of the property industry’s longest-running assumptions. Jake’s philosophy is simple: cash flow first, growth always. Rather than building a portfolio of properties that continually require investors to contribute more money, Jake focuses on assets that can generate strong rental income while still offering the fundamentals for long-term capital growth. Terry and Jake unpack: • Why cash flow is the “oxygen” that allows investors to keep building a portfolio • Why positive cash flow and capital growth don’t have to be mutually exclusive • The growing investment case for units, townhouses and other attached dwellings • Why Jake generally prefers older, lower-density units with a genuine land component over high-rise apartments • How affordability is increasing demand for attached housing • Why a high rental yield alone doesn’t make a property a good investment • The dangers of chasing yield in single-industry and mining-dependent markets • How duplexes, multi-unit sites and entire blocks of units can fit into a portfolio strategy • Why investors should think several purchases ahead instead of viewing each property in isolation • How buying well, building equity and maintaining cash flow can help fund the next acquisition Jake also shares a real example of a young investor who used an affordable first purchase, equity growth and strong cash flow to move quickly towards property number two. If your goal is to build a portfolio rather than simply own an investment property, this conversation offers a very different way of thinking about yield, growth and borrowing capacity.

Why do some property investors continue building momentum while others hit a wall after just one or two properties? In this episode of The Property Playbook, presented by Hotspotting, Chris Graham is joined by Joey D’Agata, Head of Strategy at Game Plans, to explore why successful property investing requires much more than simply finding the next property to buy. The conversation centres around one critical idea: every property needs a purpose within the broader portfolio. Chris and Joey discuss: • Why buying property without a long-term plan can quickly exhaust borrowing capacity • Why investors need to think one or two purchases ahead • How a property that looks good individually can actually make the overall portfolio harder to grow • Whether investors are better buying one higher-priced property or multiple lower-priced assets • How changes to negative gearing and borrowing capacity have increased the importance of cash flow • Why units and higher-yielding properties are becoming increasingly relevant • How many properties investors may actually need to generate meaningful passive income • Why continually buying more property isn’t always the fastest path to financial freedom • When investors should shift from accumulation towards debt reduction • How selling an asset can sometimes improve the overall portfolio rather than weaken it • The role commercial property can play later in an investor’s wealth-building strategy Joey also shares a fascinating real-life example where selling two properties transformed an investor’s position from approximately $65,000 a year in negative cash flow to around $20,000 positive — while still keeping them on track for their long-term goal. The message is simple: don’t buy another property until you understand what it needs to do for the portfolio that follows.
