The Australian property market is heating up again, with some suburbs growing close to 1% in a month. If you’ve been wondering whether to rentvest or buy a home to live in, this episode breaks it down in simple, practical terms.

In this month’s property update, Molly Benjamin sits down with buyer’s agent and property expert Arjun Paliwal to unpack what’s happening in the market right now and what buyers need to know before making their next move.

We cover:
Australian property market update – why growth is rising again
Rentvesting vs buying – Arjun’s 5–10 year rule to help you choose
Accidental investors – the costly mistake first-timers often make
How to pick a strong investment property using listings, rental vacancy, days on market and competition
Buyer pressure from real estate agents and why representation matters
Climate change & flood risk – how to assess environmental risk realistically
Ongoing costs of property investing – maintenance, land tax, insurance, rates and vacancy
Infrastructure myths – do trains, shops and Bunnings actually drive growth?
Mindset traps that slow down investors and how to avoid analysis paralysis



If you're saving for your deposit, deciding between rentvesting or buying to live, or trying to understand what makes a property a good investment, this episode will give you clarity, confidence and a clear checklist.
