#24 Alex Fitzgerald | Demystifying Land Development

Saison 1 · Épisode 24

mardi 4 août 2026 • Durée 01:08:01

How does a paddock transform into a block of land you can buy?

Leigh sits down with Alex Fitzgerald (land development specialist at JLF, one of Queensland's biggest residential developers) and they pull back the curtain on an industry most first home buyers know almost nothing about.

Alex breaks down the full development journey:

Why registration dates blow out (and why it's almost never the developer's fault)

What sunset clauses really mean for buyers,

and the uncomfortable truth about kickbacks happening between agents and builders in an undersupplied market.

She also shares her honest take on the housing crisis, why infrastructure costs are the real bottleneck to supply, and why Melbourne is quietly heating back up.

Whether you're trying to understand land developments, navigate off-the-plan purchases, or just figure out how the property market actually works, this episode is packed with straight talk and no fluff.

# 23 Amie McKellin | 6 Properties Before 30: The Exponential Power of Equity

Saison 1 · Épisode 23

mercredi 17 juin 2026 • Durée 57:06

How is it possible to own multiple properties before 30?

In this episode, we sit down with Amy McKellin, who signed her first build at just 18 years old in Armstrong Creek. She had no experience, a nervous family telling her to stop, and real moments where she was eating tuna and rice to cover her mortgages. Today, she holds 6 investment properties and works for one of Australia's oldest builders.

We cover everything. From how she used equity from one property to buy the next, why the Melbourne market is still affordable (but not for long), and the one suburb she says is about to explode: Lara.

We also break down what first home buyers get wrong; chasing the dream home instead of getting on the ladder, and the builder tricks that can quietly add $100,000 to your build price.

In this episode:
✅ How to grow a property portfolio using equity
✅ Rent vesting: Smart short-term move or long-term trap?
✅ Fixed price contracts: What to look for and what to avoid
✅ Why Victoria is still the best entry point in Australia

Saison 1 · Épisode 17

mercredi 23 juillet 2025 • Durée 46:38

Buying your first home can feel like one big decision after another, and the toughest one is often:

"Should I buy now, or should I wait?" 🏠

It’s easy to get caught up in the idea that the market is going to crash, and that waiting for the "perfect time" will save you money. But here’s the hard truth: historical data shows there’s no sign of a market crash anytime soon. In fact, property prices are expected to keep climbing, and First Home Buyers who wait risk being priced out of the market completely.

In this episode, Matt and Leigh break down why waiting could hurt your chances of owning a home, and why buying as soon as you can is your best bet. Waiting isn’t just putting things on hold – it’s slowly shutting the door on your homeownership dreams. 🚪

What you’ll take away from this episode:

Key factors to consider before buying your first home

How to make the right decision for you

The real benefits of buying now instead of later

What’s happening in the property market right now

Don’t let hesitation cost you your chance at homeownership! Tune in now and get the facts you need to make the right move. 🎧
