Formerly The Property Planner, Buyer and Professor, our show rebranded in 2023 to The Property Trio.

Residential property is the only asset class we live in, it is where we raise our families, and it is our most expensive investment, yet property advice remains unregulated. Our objective is to educate time-poor professionals through deep insights from our experts who have provided thousands of Australians with personalised advice and education spanning two decades. In a climate where we are overloaded with information and one size fits all recommendations from the media, well-meaning friends and family and so-called advisers, we will distill the raw truth from the ill-informed.

So join the Property Planner, David Johnston, The Property Buyer, Cate Bakos and the Quantity Surveyor, Mike Mortlock as they take you on a journey of discovery through the maze of property, mortgage, and money decisions to empower you to create your ideal lifestyle!

    #381: Investor Sentiment Under the Microscope – What's Really Driving Investor Decisions Since the Budget
    Sep 28 2026










    With Cate away, Dave and Mike unpack the 2026 PIPA Annual Investor Sentiment Survey. Investor sales have risen for a fourth straight year to 18.3%, while only 27.8% plan to buy again, down from 41%. Just 12.4% of sellers sold to a first home buyer, 62.3% of portfolios are now negatively cash flowed, and 87% doubt future governments will keep tax settings stable. Melbourne tops the list of places to invest at 38.7%, despite Victoria ranking near the bottom for investor friendliness. If investors keep stepping back, what does that mean for renters and the rental pool?

    #380: What It Takes to Get a DIY Purchase Right when Buying in a New Location or Interstate
    Sep 21 2026
    🎙️In this episode, Dave and Cate answer a listener question from Nikhil, who has bought five properties, (four through buyer's agents) and wants to start buying interstate himself. The pair set out what it actually takes to buy well somewhere you don't live. Cate explains why unfamiliar markets are hard to read, how contract legislation differs between states and territories, and where to research a suburb's socio-economic story.

    They also weigh up the real cost of flying in and staying for inspections against a buyer's agent fee. Cate finishes with a four step framework: pick one market, build a small local team, do your legal and data homework early, and time your trips deliberately. It's one not to miss!
