Most investors don’t realise that property markets move in cycles and that understanding those cycles can drastically change your returns. In this mini episode, we break down how residential, commercial, and industrial markets each follow their own rhythm, why timing your entry and exit matters, and how 90% of growth often occurs in just a small window of the cycle.
We explore how long-term buy-and-hold thinking has shaped generations, why today’s investors need to think differently, and how historical data shows that a 4-year window can sometimes outperform the previous 15 years combined. We also discuss the role of interest rates, sentiment shifts, macro events, and opportunity cost, and why serious investors should avoid loyalty to any one asset class.Whether you’re building generational wealth or looking for accelerated gains, this conversation reveals how true investors use property cycles to maximise returns and make smarter decisions in 2025 and beyond.
Includes insights on: Perth vs Sydney cycles, generational investing, data-driven timing, A-grade assets, syndicate strategy, and how markets within markets behave.

Negative gearing is one of the most misunderstood concepts in Australian property investing, and also one of the most politically charged. In this episode, we break down exactly what negative gearing is, how it works, and when it actually benefits investors.Put simply, negative gearing allows you to offset the losses from holding an investment property against your taxable income. But beyond the textbook definition, we explore why negative gearing exists, how it influences investor behaviour, and why removing it would reshape the entire housing market.Inside this episode we unpack:• what negative gearing is in plain English• why the government allows you to offset property losses• how negative gearing impacts rental supply and affordability• how high-income earners use it during peak earning years• the link between land value, capital growth and negative gearing• how depreciation plays into the equation• why negative gearing is a benefit, not a standalone strategy• the real-world numbers showing how tax can reduce the “cost” of holding growth assets• how to blend growth assets with cash-flow assets to balance a portfolioWhether you’re new to property investing or scaling toward a multi-property portfolio, understanding negative gearing helps you use tax as a tool, not a driver, to buy the right assets for long-term wealth.About the Folio Property PodcastEach week, Reece Beddall & Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

Your first investment property is the most important one you’ll ever buy because it determines how fast (or slow) you can grow your portfolio. In this episode, we break down why your first asset must be focused on capital growth, not cash flow, and why chasing high yield early on often kills your long-term wealth-building potential.
Using real examples and personal experience, including a regional Victoria off-the-plan townhouse that stalled growth for five years. We unpack how poor asset selection can set you back half a decade, while one strong growth asset can fast-track you to properties #2, #3 and beyond.
We also cover:• why high yield + high capital growth rarely exist together• how compounding growth (6.5-7% long-term) should shape your strategy• when to introduce cash flow assets like commercial property• how land value impacts long-term performance• using value-add strategies to accelerate equity• why serviceability, not equity, becomes the bottleneck• the “accidental landlord” trap and how to plan ahead• how to structure debt through life stages (upgrading, upsizing, and trading strategies)
If you want to build a multi-property portfolio while still paying down your home, this episode gives you the blueprint on exactly how to set up your first investment the right way.

Paying off your home in under 10 years is possible, but it requires a strategic mindset, a high risk tolerance, and a willingness to take on debt in the short term to reduce debt in the long term. In this episode, we break down a real client case study where a family with nearly $1 million owing on their Geelong PPOR used a three-property investment strategy to eliminate almost all of their mortgage in just three years.We unpack exactly how they did it:• leveraging a low debt-to-income ratio• buying in early-cycle markets like Rockingham, Perth and Geelong• using value-add plays to accelerate equity creation• selling at the right time, not too early• refinancing to reduce cash flow pressure• using equity to stay afloat during rising interest ratesYou’ll also learn why timing the market matters, when to refinance in a rising cycle, how to decide between selling vs. holding, and what mindset you need if you're considering an aggressive PPOR debt-reduction strategy. This is a real, practical blueprint for homeowners who want to break free from their mortgage years, or even decades earlier than planned.Key Themes: - how to pay off mortgage fast Australia- aggressive debt reduction strategy- property investing to pay off PPOR- equity extraction strategyAbout the Folio Property PodcastEach week, Reece Beddall & Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

Is Melbourne really a better property investment opportunity than Perth heading into 2026?
In this episode of the Folio Property Podcast, Lachlan Delahunty and Reece Beddall break down six critical data points to explain exactly where the Australian property market is heading, and why Melbourne may now offer a once-in-a-generation buying opportunity, despite Perth’s recent boom.
We compare Perth vs Melbourne property markets, analysing price growth, rental yields, affordability, population growth, stock on market, and land tax. And more importantly, cutting through headlines, fear, and misinformation dominating social media.
You’ll hear why Perth may still deliver short-term double-digit growth, but why Melbourne’s long-term fundamentals, affordability, and supply squeeze could make it the best medium-to-long-term investment play in Australia right now.
If you’re wondering whether investors are buying Perth, or whether Melbourne is quietly bottoming and recovering, this episode breaks it all down with real data, not opinions.

Is Perth’s property boom in 2025 sustainable and how can homebuyers avoid overpaying in one of Australia’s hottest markets?
In this episode of The Follio Property Podcast, Reece and Lachlan are joined by Rowen Powell. Director of Verve Buyers Agency and one of Perth’s most experienced buyers agents in both the prestige and family-home markets. Together, they unpack the real reasons behind Perth’s runaway price growth, why listings are at historic lows, how buyer psychology is shifting, what compromises homebuyers are being forced to make, and why transparency in WA’s market has never been worse.
We go deep into the mechanics of the 2025 Perth market:
- Why established homes are outperforming new builds
- How replacement costs have reshaped values from $1M villas to $15M prestige homes
- Why the 5% deposit scheme is pushing prices up, not helping affordability
- Why first-home buyers face a 3–4 step “ladder” before reaching their forever home- How off-market deals actually work (and the real reasons people sell off-market)
- What defines a good buyers agent from a dangerous one- Why micro-markets and school zones are dictating hundreds of thousands in value
- What suburbs in Perth remain underrated in 2025Whether you're buying your first home, upgrading, or navigating the high-end Western Suburbs market, this conversation gives you the on-the-ground intel you can’t get from portals, sales agents, or lagging data.

Is Australia heading toward a housing crash or are we simply entering the next phase of the 18.6-year property cycle?
In this episode of The Folio Property Podcast, Reece and Lachlan unpack one of the most talked-about questions in the Australian real estate:
Does the property market really move in predictable cycles?And if so… what does that mean for Australia in 2025, 2026, and beyond?
We break down the four phases of the cycle, the history behind Phil Anderson’s research, how the theory ties into US markets, and what happened in past downturns like the GFC. More importantly, we look at whether Australia is positioned for a fall, why speculation is rising, what the “winner’s curse” phase means, and whether everyday buyers should be worried or preparing for opportunity.
Whether you're an investor, first-home buyer, or simply curious about the future of Australian property, this is a grounded, data-rich conversation that cuts through the noise.
