Passive with Property – Détails, épisodes et analyse

In this episode of Passive with Property, Dragan Dimovski hosts Amanda Calabria and their special guest Stu Benson, auctioneer at Benson Auctions, to talk about auction scam tactics you see in the media — and separate fact from fiction.

Stu tackles some of the most talked-about practices, including:

✅ Dummy bidding — how it works, why it gets attention, and how rare it actually is
✅ Common misconceptions in the media versus the reality on the ground
✅ Tips for buyers to stay informed, protected, and confident at auctions
✅ What to look for to avoid being misled by myths or hype

💡 While scams make sensational headlines, the truth is auctions remain a transparent and highly regulated process — and knowing what’s real versus media hype can save buyers stress and money.

Amanda goes full rant mode, exposing how developers and the market create the illusion of land scarcity.

She breaks it down:

How greenfield developments and marketing hype make buyers chase “new” suburbs that aren’t actually scarce

Why this false demand drives up prices unnecessarily, leaving smart investors paying more for nothing special

The truth about where real scarcity exists — and how to spot the suburbs that actually offer long-term value

💡 Investors who fall for the shiny, hyped-up suburbs are being swindled. The real opportunities lie in understanding genuine scarcity versus manufactured hype.

🚨 A great property portfolio isn’t just about what you buy — it’s about how you structure it. Get it wrong, and the tax man or new regulations could wipe out your hard-earned gains.

In this episode, Vincent Uno from Stott and Uno joins Dragan Dimovski and Amanda Calabria on Passive with Property to share why the smartest investors treat accounting and structuring as the foundation of their strategy.

Too many buyers focus on chasing the next deal without setting up the right ownership structure, tax plan, or compliance measures. The best investors plan ahead, keep up with changing regulations, and work with professionals who future-proof their wealth.

✅ Why structure is everything when it comes to property investing
✅ The key accounting mistakes that can cost you thousands
✅ How to stay ahead of current and upcoming rules and regulations

🎥 Don’t leave your portfolio exposed — learn how the right accounting and structuring can protect and grow your investments.

You’ll discover:
 ✅ Why leaving your mortgage “as is” is costing you time, money, and opportunities
 ✅ How debt recycling can turn your biggest liability into a powerful wealth-building tool
 ✅ The real risks of getting it wrong — and how to avoid them
 ✅ Why waiting even a few years could mean you never catch up

🎥 Don’t let your mortgage drag you down while others use theirs to get ahead. Learn how to take control of your debt before it controls you.

Depreciation is often pitched as a huge win for Aussie property investors, but is it actually working in your favour?

In this episode, Amanda from Buyers Agency Australia breaks down what property depreciation really means, how it works, and whether it's as valuable as it's made out to be, especially when it comes to brand new or off-the-plan properties.

We’ll unpack:

• The difference between Capital Works and Plant & Equipment deductions
• Why relying on depreciation from new builds might be misleading once you factor in the premium you’re paying
• Where depreciation does make sense – especially when you control the upgrades on established properties
• And most importantly, why your strategy should focus on wealth creation first – not just tax perks.

If you're a serious investor (or aspiring to be), this episode will help you look past the tax hype and stay focused on what really matters: growing your portfolio and long-term wealth.

Serviceability, purchase price, valuations, LMI... what really matters when getting a property loan?

In this episode of the Passive with Property podcast, Dragan and Amanda are joined by Anthony from Mortgage Works to break down the complex world of property finance for investors.

Anthony shares real-world insights from the finance frontline, explaining why ongoing serviceability and cash flow often matter more than just the purchase price and how smart structuring can mean the difference between one property and a whole portfolio.

We cover key topics that every investor should understand:

• Valuations: What’s the difference between a purchase and a refinance valuation and why short valuations are rare.
• Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI): When it applies, and how to see it as a tool rather than a penalty.
• Off-the-plan & long settlements: The finance risks most people overlook.
• Pre-approvals: The truth behind “digital approvals” vs fully assessed pre-approvals.
• Big banks vs second-tier lenders: Who has the edge in borrowing capacity?

🎯 This is essential listening for any investor who wants to understand how lending really works — and avoid finance pitfalls that could cost you thousands.
