In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Liam Garman speaks with Robbo, the Aussie Mortgage Guy and founder of Trusted Finance, about digital marketing in real estate and finance.

Robbo emphasises the importance of building a personal brand and creating authentic, educational content to establish trust with potential clients.

He shares his journey of posting content daily from scratch in 2021, learning through trial and error to discover what resonated with his audience.

Consistency and authenticity, he notes, are more important than chasing vanity metrics, such as follower counts or flashy videos.

His approach has generated over 50,000 home buyer leads and $1.2 billion in settled mortgages organically, with a social media following exceeding 1.6 million.

The conversation also explores the growing role of AI in content creation, with Robbo encouraging agents to leverage technology while maintaining a personal touch.

Overall, Robbo highlights that staying consistent and embracing new tools are key strategies for success in a competitive real estate market.

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Phil Tarrant sits down with mortgage broker Rebecca Carlson to explore rentvesting and how it can help individuals, particularly post-divorce, rebuild wealth and regain financial independence.

Rentvesting allows individuals to rent where they want to live while owning investment properties elsewhere, providing flexibility and market access.

Carlson and Tarrant discuss recent policy changes that remove caps for first home buyers, allowing entry with just a 5 per cent deposit and no lenders mortgage insurance, which may shift the dynamics of first-time rentvesting.

Divorce often leaves people with cash but no home, making rentvesting a practical way to re-establish a financial footing.

Carlson notes clients can leverage available funds to secure investment properties and gradually build wealth while managing risk.

Post-divorce emotional challenges can create hesitation, but starting small helps build confidence in property investment.

Professional advice from accountants and buyer’s agents is key to navigating markets and identifying opportunities.

Welcome to Pathway to Property, a podcast to help everyday Australians on their property investment journey through education, real-life stories, and firsthand investing experiences.

In this episode, co-hosts Atlas Property Group director Lachlan Vidler and Luke Clifford explore how property investment can shape retirement strategies.

The hosts highlight the spring surge in property activity, fuelled by changes to the first home buyer scheme that allow entry with a 5 per cent deposit and higher purchase caps.

The core discussion centres on three retirement pathways: buy and hold, selldown, and a combination strategy.

Buy and hold builds long-term wealth through capital growth and rental income, while selldown provides quicker access to cash but risks depleting resources too soon.

The combination strategy blends both approaches, offering strong cash flow potential but carrying higher risks.

Throughout, the hosts emphasise the importance of a clear portfolio plan, reminding listeners that retirement through property is highly individual and requires strategic, adaptable planning.
