Most investors quit right before compounding starts to work. The first 10 years of investing can feel slow… and that’s completely normal. In this episode, I sit down with financial adviser and Investopoly podcast host Stuart Wemyss to break down how wealth is actually built over time. We talk about:• Why early progress often comes from your contributions, not returns • Why chasing shiny opportunities destroys long-term wealth• The 3-part wealth equation that drives extraordinary results If you feel like you're doing the right things but progress feels slow, this conversation is a powerful reminder to stay patient and play the long game. 🚀 Let’s go inside!   Resource Links: Get your Strategic Portfolio Plan and our help with Buying Your Next Perth Property  (https://www.investorsedge.com.au/invest-in-perth-property/) Get email updates about suburb intelligence reports and exclusive invites to our webinars, events, and workshops.

Most people say they want life-changing wealth. Very few are willing to pay the price. Not financially. Personally. Because wealth isn’t just built with money…It’s built with trade-offs. Time.Focus.Relationships.Comfort.Ego.Patience. And the hardest part? There’s a long stretch where you sacrifice…And nothing seems to happen. In this episode, I share some truths I wish someone had told me earlier — including a question that completely changed who I listened to and who I didn’t. If you’ve ever felt pulled between building something bigger and keeping everything balanced… You’ll want to hear this.   Resource Links: Get your Strategic Portfolio Plan and our help with Buying Your Next Perth Property  (https://www.investorsedge.com.au/invest-in-perth-property/) Get email updates about suburb intelligence reports and exclusive invites to our webinars, events, and workshops.

There's been a lot of noise over the last few days around proposed changes to capital gains tax, specifically the CGT discount that investors get when they sell a property they've held for more than 12 months.  Headlines are flying, the WhatsApp groups are lighting up, and I've already had messages asking, should I sell now? Is property about to be smashed? Is this the end of investing as we know it? So today, let's slow this right down.  In this episode, I want to cover five things: Firstly, what the CGT discount is now and what's actually been proposed. Number two, what needs to happen for these changes to actually become law. Three, how this could change investor behavior and strategy. Four, what this might do to the property market, prices, supply and rent. And finally, whether this really raises government revenue or just reshuffles the deck.  By the end of this episode, you should be far clearer and hopefully a lot calmer.   Resource Links: Get your Strategic Portfolio Plan and our help with Buying Your Next Perth Property  (https://www.investorsedge.com.au/invest-in-perth-property/) Get email updates about suburb intelligence reports and exclusive invites to our webinars, events, and workshops.

Should I sell my property off market?... It’s a question I’ve been asked a lot recently, and the answer might surprise you. Right now, I’m seeing more owners tempted by a friend who “has a buyer,” a quiet offer that feels really strong compared to any recent appraisal they’ve been given, or the idea that property sells itself anyway. So why not save on agent commission and do it yourself? Why not keep that $15,000 to $20,000 you’d otherwise pay? In a hot market, it can feel like you don’t need a sales agent. You don’t need a campaign or buyer competition to get a good result. Let’s face it, you could take a photo of your letterbox, put it online, and probably get offers on Facebook or through one of the major portals. You might think, “I’m getting a good result. I’m getting offers. I’m getting sold.” It may even be higher than what agents have recently appraised your property for. But I want to share a real story that shows what can happen when you take that path… Let’s go inside.   Resource Links: Additional Resource Links from Podcast Get your Strategic Portfolio Plan and our help with Buying Your Next Perth Property  (https://www.investorsedge.com.au/invest-in-perth-property/) Get email updates about suburb intelligence reports and exclusive invites to our webinars, events, and workshops.

In today’s episode, I’m breaking it all down for everyday investors and families: What could drive an iron ore slowdown, how it impacts the WA economy, and how those changes flow through to jobs and the property markets in the next one to two years and even up to 10 years. This isn't about doom and gloom or a crash, but rather exploring what could happen if there’s a genuine slowdown in the price, demand, or production of iron ore. Even small changes can drastically affect WA’s state revenue, as iron ore is our number one export. That can, in turn, impact jobs, population growth, business confidence, and, yes, property markets, both in Perth and in mining towns.

I’ve been wondering what is being done to increase the land supply and help to make housing more affordable in Perth, while at the same time pondering how it will affect established suburbs and prices. Today, I cover what’s coming for Perth’s housing market and why more supply won’t kill quality property. Even with major land releases, well-located homes with land, lifestyle, and amenities will always win. The real risk is owning stock with no edge when new estates arrive. I look at what is coming North, South and South East of Perth and the likely timeframes and impacts.  Let’s go inside.   Resource Links: Get your Strategic Portfolio Plan and our help with Buying Your Next Perth Property  (https://www.investorsedge.com.au/invest-in-perth-property/) Get email updates about suburb intelligence reports and exclusive invites to our webinars, events, and workshops.

This episode kicks off the year with a reality check on Perth property, what truly happened in 2025, and what smart investors should be watching closely in 2026. I unpack why the market behaved the way it did, not just the headlines. Prices rose, rents stayed tight, incentives ramped up, and interest rates finally shifted direction, triggering one of the biggest psychological changes we’ve seen in years. How first home buyer policies pulled demand forward, why units outperformed houses, and what the latest data really means for investors, homeowners, and first home buyers. From market fundamentals to supply constraints, yields, vacancy rates, land availability, APRA lending caps, interest rate risks, and three possible scenarios for 2026. I walk through what matters, what doesn’t, and where strategy becomes your edge. If you want to invest smarter in Perth property, this is the episode to catch up on.

Today, in this throwback episode of Perth Property Insider brings together four major X factors shaping Perth property: AUKUS, Gentrification, Perth Airport City, and Train Station Upzoning. These are long-term structural shifts, not short-term trends. Which one moves the needle the most? How do AUKUS and gentrification change demand? Defence investment is driving jobs and housing pressure in Perth’s south, while higher-income buyers and new amenities are renewing inner-ring suburbs. Are you positioned early or reacting late? What happens when infrastructure meets planning reform? Perth Airport’s $5 billion expansion and state-led train station upzoning are creating new growth corridors and land value uplift.

What do Perth’s high-density planning changes mean for property owners? Today, we talked about how the WA Planning Commission is set to take control of zoning, potentially creating 35,000 new homes around 10 major train stations. Landowners in these areas could see significant land value uplifts, but how will increased density impact property appeal? With more apartment developments and rental demand near transit hubs, will this drive rental yields or cap capital growth in the long term? How will these changes affect affordability, infrastructure, and overall market dynamics?

Have you ever wondered whether it's better to buy quality or quantity of investment properties? Today, I break down the real drivers of long-term real estate wealth and show why strategy must be built around goals, borrowing capacity, cash flow, and lifestyle.  I will unpack how rental yield, capital growth, and risk tolerance determine whether high-end, mid-range, or mixed property selections deliver better outcomes. I compare three investment scenarios to reveal how different property mixes impact passive income, equity growth, and long-term serviceability and outline why it's not a one-size-fits-all answer, giving the importance of a personalised strategic portfolio plan.
