Sarah Megginson (Finder): The Property Myths Costing Investors Real Money

How to Build a Property Portfolio on a Normal Income | Peter Savage

- It's not a property problem, it's a strategy and finance-structure problem. Solve the structure and the property gets easier.  - Land does the lifting; buildings depreciate. A high-rise apartment leaves you a slither of land and a depreciating building, little to drive long-term growth.  - The patient path works: buy one good property, let it become neutral, then buy the next. Most portfolios are built by default, not force.  - You don't need to make a great decision quickly, you need to make a good decision when the right opportunity comes.  - Don't let a tax change decide your strategy. Tax is an outcome; the strategy is long-term capital growth over 10–15 years.  - Three buckets: personal, business, retirement. Neglect two and you end up on the pension; align all three and they compound.  -The first property is the one that sets you back if you get it wrong. Get experienced eyes on it before you buy.

Jessica Brady: Breaking Down Financial Literacy Barriers and Investing

Julian is joined in the podcast studio by Jessica Brady, a money educator, author and former financial adviser with two decades inside some of the biggest names in global finance — CBA, Macquarie and Zurich among them. Originally from the corporate wealth-management world, Jessica Brady co-founded a financial advice firm for millennials in the thick of the Royal Commission, before walking away from her equity when she realised the people she most wanted to help could no longer afford the advice. She went on to build the Greenhouse Money Growing Program — an accessible, community-based way to learn about money without the financial-adviser price tag — and has just released her debut book, Get Growing: A No-Nonsense Guide to Cultivating Wealth and Financial Freedom. A passionate advocate for tearing down the barriers that have long surrounded financial literacy, Jessica's mission is to help everyday Australians understand the fears, beliefs and behaviours that quietly shape their relationship with money. In this episode, Jessica speaks to the emotional side of investing the property world too often ignores — why almost no one ever feels "ready", the childhood "hot iron" moments that drive money fear, how to build genuine financial readiness, and how to hold your nerve when the market turns — sparking a refreshingly honest conversation. 🏠 INVEST SMARTER, GROW FASTER — Australia's Property Investment Podcast Hosted by Julian Khursigara | CEO, Search Party Property | Award-Nominated Buyers Agent About Julian: Julian Khursigara is the CEO of Search Party Property, a Sydney-based buyers agency helping busy professionals build sustainable investment portfolios with clarity and confidence.

Jordan de Jong (Gameplans): How AI is shaping the future of property investing

Most property investors are following someone else's playbook, and it's quietly costing them years of compounding growth. Julian is joined by longtime friend of the podcast and collaborator Jordan de Jong, a serial entrepreneur building some of Australia's leading AI apps tailored to specific business audiences, most notably Gameplans, a tool built specifically for buyer's agents to construct better property plans for their clients. In the midst of building these companies, Jordan has accumulated an ever-growing property portfolio. After buying his first property at 21, he has fast become one of Australia's most trusted property advisors, helping people rethink how they build wealth through property. In this conversation, Julian and Jordan deep dive into how the investing landscape is changing in real time with AI, how to position yourself according to real estate cycles, and why your strategy needs to be built around your actual goals rather than someone else's ideas of what success looks like. Jordan shares invaluable insight into the mistakes and learnings from his own journey, and how those lessons have shaped the way he helps others construct portfolios aligned to what they are genuinely trying to achieve. Borrowing capacity, the trade-off between cash flow and equity growth, and where we sit in the economic cycle all play crucial roles in determining the right strategy for any individual. Jordan also unpacks how AI can make parts of the property investing process more efficient, while making the case that it should be treated as a helpful addition rather than a one-stop solution. IN THIS EPISODE · Jordan's path from buying his first property at 21 to building a portfolio · The mistakes and learnings that shaped his investing approach · Why most property strategies fail: building around someone else's goals · How to design a portfolio around your actual lifestyle and outcomes · Borrowing capacity as the real ceiling on your investing potential · Cash flow vs equity growth: the trade-off every investor must face · Reading the economic cycle and positioning accordingly · How AI is changing property investing in real time · The story behind Gameplans and why buyer's agents need better tools · Where AI genuinely adds value in the investing process · Why AI is a helpful addition, not a replacement for strategy · Common patterns Jordan sees in investors who get stuck · How to think about property as a long-term wealth vehicle · Aligning your strategy to your goals, not market noise ABOUT JORDAN DE JONG Jordan de Jong is a serial entrepreneur and one of Australia's most trusted property advisors. He is the founder of Gameplans, an AI tool built specifically for buyer's agents to construct stronger, more tailored property plans for their clients, alongside a portfolio of other AI apps targeting specific business audiences. Jordan bought his first property at 21 and has since built an extensive personal portfolio while helping countless others rethink how they approach wealth creation through property.

Sarah Megginson (Finder): The Property Myths Costing Investors Real Money

Property investing is full of “common knowledge” that quietly costs people money.  Sarah Megginson, Head of Editorial at Finder, one of Australia’s most recognised personal finance experts and author of How to Raise Rich Kids, joins us to break down the biggest property myths that are holding investors back.  With over 20 years in property and finance journalism, Sarah has seen firsthand how misinformation spreads : from media headlines to social media to everyday “barbecue conversations” : and how these beliefs lead to poor decisions, delayed action, and missed opportunities.   We unpack why “you can’t go wrong with property” is dangerously misleading, why waiting for interest rates to drop can cost you more than acting now, and how negative gearing has been misunderstood as a strategy rather than a tool.  We also dive into mindset : fear of debt, analysis paralysis, and why most investors focus on the wrong time horizon. Sarah explains why the biggest cost in property isn’t a bad deal : it’s a bad belief held for too long. If you’re buying, investing, or sitting on the sidelines, this episode will help you replace outdated assumptions with frameworks that actually build wealth.  IN THIS EPISODE · Where property myths actually come from (and why they stick) · How media, social and "barbecue talk" distort investing decisions · Why "you can't go wrong with property" is false · The real cost of waiting for interest rates to drop · Why timing the market is less important than fundamentals · Negative gearing: what investors get wrong · The myth of the family home as your best investment · Rentvesting and thinking differently about ownership · Fear of debt vs. understanding "good debt" · How misinformation leads to analysis paralysis · Why long-term thinking beats short-term noise · The one mindset shift that changes everything · How to think about investing 20 years ahead · What investors should actually believe instead CHAPTERS 00:00 The Most Expensive Mistake in Property Investing 00:35 Introducing Sarah Megginson 02:10 Sarah's Money Story & First Property at 21 05:00 From Journalism to Finance & Finder 08:30 The Myth Factory: Where Misinformation Comes From 12:15 Barbecue Talk, Social Media & Confirmation Bias 16:40 "You Can't Go Wrong With Property": Truth vs Reality 20:50 Losing Money & Learning as an Investor 24:10 Waiting for Rates to Drop: The Hidden Cost 28:30 Why Timing the Market Keeps You Stuck 32:00 Negative Gearing Misconceptions 36:10 Thinking in 20-Year Outcomes (Not Today's Noise) 40:20 The Family Home vs Investment Strategy 44:00 Rentvesting & Alternative Paths into the Market 47:30 Fear of Debt vs "Good Debt" 51:20 Worst-Case Thinking & Risk Management 55:10 Who Should You Trust?
