Post-Budget Property Update: What Smart Investors Are Doing Now | Built Different Ep

Show Notes

The budget broke the old playbook. This is the new one, with the numbers attached. MPA Top 100 Mortgage Broker Aaron Christie-David and the Atelier Wealth broking team on Australian property right now. A whole lending product gone. Lenders drowning in five times their normal volume. Borrowing strategies written twelve months ago that no longer apply. The team came in to answer one question: what still works? One property now costs $15,000 a year to hold, and everything follows from that.

Aaron is joined by Bernadette Christie-David, Damien Walker and Nate Condie, answering listener questions with real figures attached. They cover the trust structure that can quietly undo itself on your credit file, and the cash flow number that stops most portfolios at three or four properties.

The team then goes head to head on AMP's 40-year loan term with ten years interest only, Aaron makes his call on where this cycle bottoms and why it is a correction rather than a crash, and they close on a deposit product that has been on the market twelve months without anyone noticing. If you own one property and cannot see how the next one happens, or you are sitting on four and running out of serviceability, this is the one.

Habit scientist Dr Gina Cleo reveals the top habits of professional property investors. Dr Gina Cleo started out as a dietitian and couldn't get anyone, including herself, to change long-term. So she went and did a PhD in habits. She's back with MPA Top 100 mortgage broker, Aaron Christie-David. This episode is about the real estate between your eyes. Gina explains why your phone wins every morning (and which room it should charge in), the two circuit breakers for a cortisol-spiked morning, why your day starts the night before, and the sleep protocol her friends laugh at. Then it gets specific for investors: why you can't steal someone else's portfolio blueprint, how to count the cost before you chase eight properties, the one sentence that changed how Gina thinks about setbacks, self-efficacy as the number one predictor of change, and why "I'm trying to be a property investor" has to become "I am a property investor". Plus anxiety avoiders vs thrill seekers, what self-sabotage is actually protecting, Thomas Edison's 1,000 attempts, and Aaron's 9:30pm bedtime.Whether you're saving your first deposit, stalled at property number three, or trying to get back on the horse after a setback, this one's for you."People want to go into property development. Get into personal development first. That's your best return on investment." - Aaron
