    ----------------------------------------
    The Australian property market is falling, but not in the price range most investors actually buy in.

    In this episode of The Pure Property Podcast, we work through why the correction in the headlines hasn't shown up in the properties we buy for clients.

    The short answer is construction cost: when an existing house sells for less than it costs to build the same house today, nobody builds, no new supply arrives, and the stock already there has a floor under it.

    We also go through the stock we bought for clients at $310,000 a year ago that now sells closer to $400,000, and the filter we use to tell one market from the other.

    ----------------------------------------
    Pure Property Investment is an Australian buyers agency. We research, negotiate and buy investment property for clients across Australia, whether that is a first purchase or the next addition to an existing portfolio.

    Founded by Paul Glossop, we work with investors at every stage and in every price bracket, and the approach is the same either way: the numbers have to work before the story does.

    SMSF is gone. Is commercial property the new strategy?
    SMSF residential lending is off the table, but investors aren’t out of options. As the rules shift, commercial property is emerging as a new pathway to keep portfolios growing. On The Pure Property Podcast, Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop are joined by Aaron Findlay to discuss the SMSF lending changes and the rush from investors trying to secure residential deals before the deadline. The trio look at the surge in investor activity, why the lending changes are forcing investors to rethink their strategies, and how commercial property is gaining attention as a potential alternative. They also explore the appeal of commercial property, including its income potential, different management demands, and opportunities for business owners to hold premises through their SMSF and lease them back to their own business. The conversation also covers the importance of understanding leases, conducting thorough due diligence, and looking beyond the rush to secure a deal, particularly as investors navigate a rapidly changing lending landscape.

    SMSF crackdown, housing shortage, and the next property opportunity
    Everyone’s watching tax changes, interest rates, and policy backflips – but they’re missing the one factor secretly deciding who wins big in property: Australia’s housing supply gap, and it’s only getting worse. On The Pure Property Podcast, Phil Tarrant joins Paul Glossop to discuss why the biggest challenge facing Australia’s housing market isn’t tax reform, interest rates, or investor sentiment, but a chronic shortage of homes that government policy still hasn’t solved. The pair argue that while recent changes to negative gearing and self-managed super funds (SMSF) have dominated headlines, they do little to address the underlying supply crisis, with immigration continuing to outpace new housing construction. Attention then turns to the fallout from banning residential property borrowing through SMSFs, with Glossop warning the changes could remove a significant source of demand for new apartment developments and place even more pressure on future housing supply. The discussion also challenges the growing narrative that property is no longer a worthwhile investment, explaining why leverage, long-term strategy, and value-add opportunities continue to separate successful investors from everyone else. Finally, Glossop introduces his new Toolbox Talks initiative, explaining why educating tradies and everyday Australians about property investing could be one of the most effective ways to build wealth beyond a regular paycheck.

    The budget, the buyer’s agency collapse, and the window of opportunity nobody talks about
    Most investors have spent weeks obsessing over negative gearing and capital gains tax changes, but the biggest opportunities often emerge when fear, uncertainty, and bad headlines dominate the conversation. On The Pure Property Podcast, Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop unpack the federal budget fallout, the collapse of one of Australia’s largest buyer’s agencies, and why market disruption often creates opportunities for investors willing to think long term. The pair discuss how the proposed tax changes could reshape investment behaviour, while warning that much of the public reaction has been driven by speculation rather than legislation. They also examine the fallout of Dashdot, highlighting the risks investors face when paying large upfront fees and the importance of choosing advisers with sustainable business models. Despite the uncertainty, Glossop argues that periods of market hesitation often create some of the best buying conditions, particularly for those prepared to act while others sit on the sidelines. The discussion also explores the growing challenge of home ownership for younger Australians and whether traditional pathways into the market are becoming increasingly out of reach.

    Are property investors being used as political scapegoats?
    As the federal budget approaches, policy pressure on Australian property investors is intensifying, with CGT, negative gearing, and SMSF lending all under the microscope. On The Pure Property Podcast, hosts Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop tackle the growing concerns that investors are being unfairly caught in the crossfire of the national housing debate. Tarrant challenges the narrative that property investors are driving unaffordability, arguing they are being used as political scapegoats rather than attention being directed at Australia’s underlying supply shortage. Glossop points to structural failures in housing delivery, contending that slow approvals and constrained supply remain the root cause of affordability pressures – not investor activity. The episode also examines the looming risks around capital gains tax (CGT) reform, negative gearing changes, and potential restrictions on self-managed super fund (SMSF) property lending as the budget draws closer. With policy risk continuing to rise, the duo urge investors to remain strategic and stay informed.

    How one cricketer turned early career earnings into a multi-property portfolio
    Can athletes really turn short sporting careers into lifelong financial security through property investment? In short, yes – here is how to do it. From cricket pitches to property portfolios, professional athletes are increasingly using real estate to secure their financial futures long after their sporting careers end. On The Pure Property Podcast, Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop speak with former Australian cricketer Stephen O’Keefe about his transition from elite sport into building a property portfolio and investing for the future. O’Keefe shares his journey from a modest cricket contract to developing a diversified portfolio, reflecting on early missteps, the importance of due diligence, and key lessons learned along the way. The conversation also highlights the need for financial planning among athletes with short, uncertain careers, with O’Keefe sharing that by his early 30s, his passion for cricket had faded, and the game had become a job that funded his growing focus on property investment. The trio also digs into whether rising construction costs and tougher lending conditions are changing the game for investors and developers right now. Additionally, the co-hosts underscore the importance of having a trusted team and long-term planning for athletes, with O’Keefe’s journey reflecting the need to learn quickly, adapt, and position himself for life beyond the game.

    How to navigate interest rate and global uncertainty in 2026
    In this episode of The Pure Property Podcast, co-hosts Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop explain how investors can pivot their strategies to navigate geopolitical and interest rate uncertainty in 2026. They analyse the potential impact of changes to the capital gains tax (CGT) discount and discuss how investors can repivot and plan their portfolios strategically. The hosts highlight how the proposed reforms could shift investor behaviour – encouraging longer-term holding rather than speculative buying and selling – which may increase rental pressure but is unlikely to improve overall housing affordability. Tarrant’s recent acquisition in a growth market illustrates this strategy in action. By targeting an emerging area and positioning for long-term capital growth, he shows that research, timing, and a clear plan are key to navigating uncertainty. Glossop and Tarrant emphasise that while tax changes may be politically appealing, they do little to solve Australia’s real housing challenge: a chronic shortage of new dwellings driven by slow approvals, strong migration, and shrinking household sizes.

    How economic headwinds reshape opportunities for investors
    In this episode of The Pure Property Podcast, co-hosts Paul Glossop and Phil Tarrant discuss the economic forces shaping Australia’s property market and what they mean for investors. Glossop outlines how unexpected inflation data has prompted the Reserve Bank of Australia to reconsider its rate path, fuelling speculation about future interest rate movements. The hosts note a divide among major banks: some forecast stability, while Westpac anticipates further hikes, adding to market uncertainty. Drawing on insights from Chris Joye of Coolabah Capital, the episode highlights how shifting economic data has challenged earlier forecasts and reinforced the need for investors to remain adaptable. The conversation also examines debates about persistent inflation, including criticisms that government spending and subsidies contribute to it. Glossop stresses that investors should focus on fundamentals and adopt disciplined strategies to navigate these headwinds. Potential policy changes, such as adjustments to the capital gains tax (CGT) discount, are flagged as risks that could dampen market liquidity by encouraging investors to hold properties longer. Despite these pressures, strong housing demand, structural undersupply, and strategic planning continue to support long-term opportunities for property investors.

    Crack the 1% property code: The strategies elite investors use
    In this episode of The Pure Property Podcast, co-hosts Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop are joined by Munzurul Khan, founder of KHI Partners, to explore what it takes to join Australia’s elite 1 per cent of property investors. They explain that while 20 per cent of Australians own investment properties, only about 1 per cent hold five or more, controlling nearly a quarter of the market. The discussion highlights mindset as the foundation of investment success, emphasising clear goals, accountability, and consistent strategic planning. Understanding personal finance, including income, expenses, and borrowing capacity, is presented as essential for building a substantial portfolio. Asset selection is key, with emphasis on location, capital growth potential, and caution against rushing into complex development strategies too early. The hosts underscore patience, discipline, and strategic compromise, such as delaying a dream home to expand an investment portfolio. Diversification across locations and the flexibility to adapt strategies to market conditions are also highlighted as crucial for long-term growth. Overall, the episode offers practical guidance for investors seeking to grow their portfolios and achieve elite status in Australia’s property market.

    Strategic investors’ move in 2026 as policy, supply, and demand collide
    In this episode of The Pure Property Podcast, Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop explore the shifting landscape of Australian property investment as the market heads into 2026. They discuss the impact of government initiatives such as the 5 per cent deposit scheme and how these initiatives are influencing buyer behaviour and property values. While Treasury predicted only a modest 0.5 per cent price increase over six years, early signs suggest a more immediate market impact. The hosts caution that such initiatives may raise demand without easing the underlying supply shortage, especially as dwelling approvals decline and construction costs have dropped significantly since 2019. This environment presents both opportunities and risks for investors, particularly in the lower quartile, where growth potential remains strong. Cultural expectations around home ownership are evolving, prompting wider discussions on affordability and the role of rental markets. As 2026 approaches, investors are advised to monitor policy changes, supply constraints, and market dynamics closely to make informed decisions.

    Building a $2m property portfolio in a hot market
    In this episode of The Pure Property Podcast, co-hosts Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop are joined by Sam Beckett to discuss the current Australian property market, focusing on interest rates, investment strategies, and market trends. The co-hosts begin the episode with a market analysis, noting that housing values rose nationally by 1.1% in October, driven by strong demand, limited supply, and high immigration. They link this trend to broader economic conditions, as the Reserve Bank of Australia recently held rates steady amid rising inflation, largely driven by increases in housing and electricity costs. The hosts caution that government initiatives, such as first home buyer grants and zoning changes, may increase demand but do little to address the underlying supply shortage. Macquarie Bank’s upcoming halt on lending to trusts and companies was also discussed, with the hosts emphasising the importance of using such structures legally and strategically. Guest Sam Beckett also shares his property journey, demonstrating how disciplined planning and leveraging a stable income can build a $2 million portfolio by age 29. The conversation highlights the importance of investors remaining vigilant, considering long-term market dynamics, and making informed decisions tailored to their specific goals.
