High interest rates, falling prices and nervous sellers are creating a very different property market for buyers.

In this episode, Luke breaks down how to buy in a falling market without getting burned — from finding stale listings and motivated vendors, to using settlement terms, finance clauses and building and pest reports to negotiate harder.

He also explains why not every “discounted” property is a good deal, why location still matters more than the building itself, and how different price brackets can behave very differently during a market correction.

If you’re buying in the next 3–6 months, this episode will help you slow down, avoid the lemons, and use the current market to your advantage.

Brisbane has surged ahead of Melbourne on price — but does that actually make Queensland the better place to invest?

In this episode, Luke breaks down Queensland vs Victoria from an investor’s point of view, looking at entry prices, recent growth, rental yields, stamp duty, land tax and long-term upside. He also unpacks where value can still be found in Melbourne, Geelong and South East Queensland, and why the right property matters more than simply picking the “hottest” state.

If you’re weighing up Brisbane vs Melbourne, or trying to work out where your next investment dollar should go, this episode will help you think beyond the headlines and focus on growth, cash flow, value-add potential and your long-term strategy.

If I had to build a property portfolio from scratch in 2026, this is exactly how I’d approach it.

In this episode, I break down the step-by-step blueprint I’d use today — from getting your finances in order and building a deposit, through to buying the right first property, manufacturing equity, and recycling that equity to keep growing.

I also share what my own early journey actually looked like: starting on a modest income, keeping living costs low, saving for years, buying our first property with Emily, renovating, and using that momentum to build the next step.

If you’re sitting there thinking, “I’ve missed the boat” or “property is too expensive now,” this episode is for you.

It’s not about getting rich overnight. It’s about buying the right property, for the right reason, with a long-term plan that gives you more choices sooner.
