What if everything you thought about mortgage repayments was wrong?

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.   Click on this episode now to learn how Build to Rent could open new possibilities for renters, investors, and developers!     🥇🥇 InvestorKit - Back To Back "Buyers Agency Of The Year 2023 & 2024" Book your discovery call here: https://www.investorkit.com.au/youtube   Connect with InvestorKit:   Website: https://www.investorkit.com.au/ Send your questions to: arjun@investorkit.com.au Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InvestorKit/ Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/investorkit.com.au/ Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@investorkit3615 Connect with us on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/investorkit/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.       Disclaimer: The information provided in this podcast is general in nature and should not be considered as personal financial advice.

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!       🥇🥇 InvestorKit - Back To Back "Buyers Agency Of The Year 2023 & 2024" Book your discovery call here: https://www.investorkit.com.au/youtube   Connect with InvestorKit:   Website: https://www.investorkit.com.au/ Send your questions to: arjun@investorkit.com.au Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InvestorKit/ Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/investorkit.com.au/ Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@investorkit3615 Connect with us on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/investorkit/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.         Disclaimer: The information provided in this podcast is general in nature and should not be considered as personal financial advice.
