Is Melbourne really the right property market for you in 2025? The headlines say it’s heating up, but that doesn’t mean it suits every investor.

In this episode, Arjun Paliwal breaks down how to assess if Melbourne fits your goals, based on your income, borrowing power, and ability to hold the property long-term. Before jumping into the hype, Arjun shows viewers how to run the numbers for their unique situation.

He explores three income and borrowing scenarios and how they impact what buyers can actually afford in Melbourne’s market, revealing that only a small fraction of suburbs are accessible on a modest budget. Arjun also dives into why some investors end up settling for underperforming units and how that can backfire over time.

With real income-based scenarios, Arjun reveals how much you really need to make Melbourne work and why jumping in too early—or buying the wrong asset—could cost you long-term.

Watch now to find out if Melbourne’s a go or no-go for your portfolio!

Is Build to Rent the next major shift in Australia's property market?

In this episode, Arjun Paliwal takes a deep dive into how the growing trend of large-scale rental communities could transform the way Australians rent, invest, and view property. They explore whether this change is something investors should embrace or be cautious of — and how it might reshape opportunities across the country.

Arjun explains how Build to Rent (BTR) works by using large institutional funds to create entire complexes designed purely for renting, rather than selling individual units. They break down how this could drive an increase in rental supply, influence affordability, and potentially change the lifestyle and stability renters experience. Drawing comparisons to the more established BTR markets in the US and UK, Arjun highlights what Australia can learn and where the opportunities may lie.

Beyond renters, Arjun also discusses the major impact BTR could have on investors and developers. From shifting demand towards houses to the potential rise of large-scale multi-family investment opportunities, they explain how BTR could fundamentally change the game for Australian property investing. With expert insights and a fresh perspective, this episode offers a comprehensive look at a movement that’s only just beginning to take shape.

Is winter really the secret weapon for property buyers? Junge Ma, breaks down the facts behind one of real estate’s most popular myths: that winter gives buyers an advantage. Using real data from Greater Adelaide across several years, she challenges the idea that less competition and slower sales make winter the best time to purchase property.

In this episode, Junge dives into the seasonal property trends in Greater Adelaide across both active and inactive markets. Using detailed stats and charts, she explores three key questions: whether competition is lower, if properties sell slower, and whether buyers have more negotiating power in winter.

The findings reveal a reality that might surprise hopeful buyers—winter doesn’t always offer the upper hand. In active markets, demand and consumer confidence outweigh seasonal effects, while in slower markets, the seasonal changes are too mild to significantly impact outcomes.

If you’re serious about building a solid property portfolio, don’t miss future episodes where Junge Ma continues to deliver data-driven insights to help you invest smarter!

How do large-scale restrictions affect the property market?

In this episode, Junge Ma delves into the implications of the new 7.5% tax on Airbnb properties introduced by the Victorian government on January 1, 2025. She explores how this tax could impact the rental market, particularly in Melbourne, where over half of Victoria's 63,000 short-stay accommodations are located.

Junge examines historical data from Sydney and Byron Shire, where strict restrictions on Airbnb properties have been implemented. She discusses the effects of a 180-day cap on short-term rentals in Sydney and Byron Shire, revealing the impact of these restrictions on vacancy rates and rental listings.

By comparing these markets, she highlights the differences in how such regulations affect larger versus smaller markets, particularly focusing on the unit market versus the house market.

Listeners will gain insights into whether the new tax will lead to an oversupply of rental properties in Melbourne and how it may influence vacancy rates.
