Is the property market broken, or are you just playing by the old rules? If you’re a buyer right now, you can feel it: the goalposts have moved. The strategies that worked in 2024 (and even early 2025) are now the exact reason buyers are getting stuck, outbid, or left behind. In this state of the market episode, we’re welcoming back Sean Simpson (Dashdot's Head of Property), to round out the year & break down exactly what is happening on the ground as we head into 2026. We’re stripping away the headlines to look at the structural shifts in supply and the "hidden" traps catching smart buyers off guard. Most importantly, we’re handing you the new playbook. This isn’t about waiting for the "right time" — it’s about having the right protocol to win in the toughest conditions we’ve seen in a decade. In this episode: Why the market feels "irrational" (and why it’s actually perfectly logical) The supply lag and buyer pool data you haven't seen Why your "common sense" negotiation tactics will cause you to lose in 2026 A step-by-step protocol to regain control and buy with confidence Stop guessing. Start strategising. See you on the inside.  IMPORTANT: The Investor Lab is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.

The signals are everywhere if you know where to look. While most investors are distracted by headlines, we've uncovered the perfect storm of conditions brewing in Australia's property market. This week, we dissect the five macro forces that historically predict major price movements - and right now? They're all pointing in the same direction... We reveal: The RBA's coming rate cuts and the liquidity tsunami that follows Australia's worsening supply crisis (and why building approvals keep falling) The 300,000+ migration wave colliding with relaxed foreign investment rules How the First Home Buyer scheme is supercharging specific price points Why consumer confidence is finally turning positive after years of decline Plus: Why some areas could see 20-30% growth while others might see just 0-5% (and how to position yourself for the winners) This isn't speculation - it's a data-driven forecast of where capital is flowing and why the window for action is rapidly closing. The lifeboat is leaving the shore - will you be on it? See you on the inside!

We just witnessed one of the wildest days in recent financial history — a $20 billion crypto liquidation, a tariff tweet that sent global equities tumbling, and panic rippling through every asset class. In this episode, we unpack what really happened — the triggers, the mechanics, and the mindset behind surviving (and even thriving) through chaos. Here’s what we’ll cover:* What triggered the crash — and how a single announcement cascaded across global markets* How leverage and liquidity fuel financial firestorms — why crashes move faster now than ever* The mindset of resilient investors — how to stay calm, manage risk, and seize opportunity* Why real assets matter — the case for property and other stable investments when everything else melts down We’ll also share actionable lessons on managing yourself, your capital, and your position, ready for the next recovery. Key Takeaway: Chaos doesn’t destroy wealth — it transfers it. The question is, are you prepared to be on the right side of that transfer? See you on the inside.

Why does life keep getting more expensive, even as technology makes everything cheaper? Every year, we produce more, innovate faster, and work harder. Yet somehow, it feels harder than ever to get ahead. This episode reveals why that feeling isn’t a failure… its design. We uncover the hidden architecture of inflation: the mechanisms, incentives, and feedback loops that keep modern economies running on perpetual money creation.  Inflation isn’t random. It’s engineered. And understanding how it works explains why you feel poorer in our most technologically-advanced age yet.  Here’s what we’re unpacking:* Why “growth” has become a disguise for dilution* How new money always flows to the ultra-wealthy first (the Cantillon Effect in modern form)* The missing prosperity that technology should have delivered, and who’s capturing it instead* Why governments can’t stop printing (and why inflation is now policy, not accident)* How the system feeds on productivity itself, keeping you running faster but never getting ahead If you’ve ever felt like you’re running faster but standing still, this episode will show you why.

But for many households, the reality is the opposite — pay rises don’t stretch, saving feels impossible, and the dream of home ownership slips further away. In this new mini-series — Why Getting Ahead Is Getting Harder (and What To Do About It) — we expose the hidden forces behind the squeeze: from the illusion of prosperity created by money supply growth, to the widening divides between owners and non-owners, to the strategies you can use to protect yourself and build real wealth today.

Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community  So you’ve built wealth in real estate and you’re approaching retirement… now what? This week, we’re exploring the different ways property investors might think about turning a portfolio into retirement income. Should you sell and redeploy into higher-yield assets? Refinance and draw on equity? Pay down debt to free up cashflow? Or move some capital into other assets for flexibility? Instead of theory, we’ll treat this like a live portfolio strategy session - walking through scenarios and considering how the balance between growth, income, leverage, and risk can shift as you move from the accumulation years into retirement. What we’ll cover: When selling makes sense vs when to hold How refinancing, restructures, and top-ups could help fund retirement Why debt strategy in retirement often flips the script from the accumulation phase Balancing cashflow, equity growth, and risk in later life Whether you’re 5 years away or 25, this is exploring ways to build wealth that doesn’t just look good on paper, it funds the lifestyle you actually want.

Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community  What happens when trust in money dies? History shows it’s never gentle. From Rome’s slow debasement of silver to Weimar’s wheelbarrows of paper, every fiat collapse follows the same pattern: debasement → recognition → flight → failure. In this episode, we explore The Great Melt-Up — the moment when the illusion of stability shatters, and people rush to exchange paper promises for anything real: bread, fuel, gold, real estate, even Bitcoin. We’ll trace the cycle across centuries, uncover why inflation isn’t an accident but deliberate policy, and explain how it flips the script — savers lose, debtors win, and wealth shifts silently but brutally. Most importantly, we’ll zoom in on today: Why some currencies collapse overnight… and others rot slowly for centuries The hidden laws that drive people to hoard, dump, or flee money when trust breaks How gold, property, and even debt can flip from liabilities to lifelines in a melt-up The eerie pattern linking Rome’s denarius, Weimar’s marks, and today’s dollars This isn’t theory. It’s a timeless sequence — and it’s happening now. Fiat is the guillotine. Assets are the ladder. The choice is yours. See you on the inside.

Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community  We’re told Australia is richer than ever. GDP is booming. Wages look bigger. Property prices keep climbing. But if that’s the case, why does it feel like you’re working harder just to stay in place? This is Part 1 of our new series — Why Getting Ahead Is Getting Harder (and What To Do About It). This week, we’re exploring The Illusion of Prosperity — the gap between what the numbers say and what households actually feel. We’ll uncover: Why 'economic growth' is more mirage than reality How individual prosperity has collapsed by 99% over the past six decades. Why pay rises don’t stretch like they used to. The housing paradox: unaffordable for new buyers, yet still a wealth rocket for owners. 👉 This conversation sets the foundation for the series, showing why the “boom” in headlines feels like a squeeze at the dinner table. See you on the inside. – SERIES: Why Getting Ahead Is Getting Harder (and What To Do About It) Have you noticed that, no matter how hard you work, it feels harder to get ahead?  Wages look bigger, property prices keep climbing, and the headlines say Australia is richer than ever.

Over five episodes, we’ll peel back the layers: The Illusion of Prosperity — why this “boom” is really a squeeze. The Crack-Up Boom — what happens when trust in money itself starts to collapse?

Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community  What happens when you throw billions of dollars at an asset that’s scarcer than gold? From October 2025, the Government is about to supercharge demand with its expanded Home Guarantee Scheme (HGS). Promoted as a way to help first-home buyers get into the market with just a 5% deposit, there’ll be no volume caps, no income caps, limited price caps — and the government will guarantee the risk for lenders. On the surface, this seems like a great thing for affordability - but independent modelling suggests this could pump $10–20 billion in fresh credit into the market in Year 1 alone, adding 20–40k extra buyers. And with housing supply already tight, that extra liquidity doesn’t create new homes — it pushes prices one way only… In this episode, we break down:* Why property’s scarcity matters, and how the stock-to-flow lens changes the conversation* Is real estate more scarce than gold?* What the new HGS actually is, and how it works* The likely impact of flooding billions into the housing market Whether you’re a first home buyer or not, this affects you.  See you on the inside. 00:00 - G'day02:25 - What Is the First Home Guarantee Scheme?07:00 - Why Helping First-Home Buyers Isn’t So Simple09:20 - The Scheme Really Protects Banks, Not Buyers11:35 - How a 5% Deposit Loan Actually Works15:00 - Why Australian Property Is Scarcer Than Gold24:00 - Population Growth Is Outpacing New Housing26:14 - $20 Billion of New Credit Flooding the Market32:00 - Why More Money Always Pushes House Prices Up37:00 - Demand Pulled Forward: The Hidden Side Effect1:00:00 - The Coming Property Supercycle & Wealth Transfer1:09:27 - Q&A   IMPORTANT: The Investor Lab is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.

Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community  Headlines say New Zealand’s housing market has “crashed.” Prices are down from their 2021 peak, and the story is making waves across the Tasman. But does it really signal danger for Australian property investors... or is there more to the story? This week, we’re unpacking the reality behind the headlines, and what it means for Australia’s property outlook. Here’s what we'll cover:* The truth about NZ’s “crash”—where values fell, and where they’ve actually hit new highs.* Why big centres like Auckland and Wellington slumped, while lifestyle and regional markets surged.* Why Australia’s market has continued to climb despite higher interest rates.* Whether Kiwi migration and “capital flight” are influencing Australian property prices.* The key lessons for Australian investors — and why the fundamentals always win. If you want clarity on what’s really happening across the Tasman, and what it means for your investing playbook in Australia, this is one conversation you won’t want to miss.

Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community  We're back with a spicy Ask Us Anything episode! After being on the road exploring Thailand, we're opening up the floor to our amazing community and tackle the questions you've been burning to ask. From personal philosophy to macro economics, from Bitcoin to property - nothing was off limits. We ended up going deep into topics like when you know you have "enough" money to be truly free, why we're not big on gold despite government stockpiling, and whether cash flow positive properties are officially dead. Plus we dive into some heavy macro stuff around CBDCs, the future of the US dollar, and where government funding will come from when AI displaces human jobs. Buckle up - this one's a big one!

Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community  Everyone plans on living to 85. That's roughly 4,300 weeks. But the brutal truth? Data shows that your body stops letting you live freely around age 60. That means you actually have about 3,000 weeks of real freedom. Maybe less. Then you subtract all those years you wasted being a child (silly), and your current age right now… Suddenly you're left with a stark reality of just how little time we all have to truly live. This week on The Investor Lab, we're breaking down the three timelines that actually matter — and why most people are planning their retirement around the wrong one. This week, we're diving into: The three clocks running your life: how long you'll live, how long you'll be healthy, and how long you'll be FREE The shocking data that stops people from living life on their terms How to front-load the life you want instead of back-loading it to retirement The vitality action plan — what to do right now, regardless of your current age Most people think they're planning for 4,300 weeks.Smart people plan for the 3,000 weeks that actually count. This isn't about being morbid — it's about being realistic. Our hope is that once you understand this, you'll never think about money, work, or retirement the same way again.

Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community The world is changing faster than most investors realise. AI is reshaping entire industries. Currencies are being questioned. Traditional investment rules are breaking down. But what happens beyond 2030? Our latest research maps out the next two decades - and reveals why the 2030s could trigger the greatest wealth transfer in human history. We're calling it "The Prosperity Wave." Today we're sharing: The three phases of transformation - where we are now and what's coming Beyond 2030: The Prosperity Wave - when abundance economics takes hold Our "sovereign portfolio" strategy - positioning for the new economy AI and wealth creation - the $20 trillion opportunity unfolding Property in transition - which assets thrive in the new paradigm Early positioning advantages - why the next 5 years are critical With breakthroughs happening left, right and centre, we're looking at the biggest wealth transfer in generations. The question isn't whether it's coming - it's whether you'll be positioned to benefit.
