The RBA just added $473 a month to the average mortgage, and the reason goes deeper than most commentators are reporting.

George Markoski and Christina Markoski trace the full chain: Iran's conflict has shut down the Strait of Hormuz, oil has spiked from $70 to $104 a barrel, and Australia's real fuel reserves sit at just 10 to 18 days. This is a supply-side crisis, and raising interest rates does nothing to fix it. What it does do is make life harder for every Australian with a mortgage.

George also makes the case that history is a reliable guide here. Every major economic crisis has ended with rate cuts, stimulus, and a property price surge. The investors who are already in the market when that shift happens are the ones who win. This episode tells you exactly what to do before that moment arrives.

Is the Australian government helping renters, or just chasing more tax revenue? In this episode of the newly retitled Positive Property Show, formerly known as the The George Markoski Show, George delivers a frank political deep-dive into Capital Gains Tax (CGT), negative gearing, and the corporate takeover of Australia's housing market.

George explains why removing the CGT 50% discount and scrapping negative gearing would actually hurt renters, not help them, and how everyday mum-and-dad investors are being used as political pawns while big corporations monopolise residential property.

Plus: a live community Q&A covering apartments vs houses, vacancy rates, how to help your adult kids break into the market, and real member results, including one property that delivered $600K+ profit.

What you'll learn:

• What CGT changes mean for your investment portfolio right now
• Why the buy-and-hold strategy protects you from tax changes
• How to refinance instead of sell (and keep the asset)
• The corporate landlord threat and how to fight back
• How to get your children started in property investing

About Positive Property:

Positive Property has been empowering Australians to build financial freedom through strategic property investment for over 20 years. George Markowski's mission is to help 10,000 Australians achieve financial independence through proven, principle-based investing, with free weekly education and no paywalls.

In this Christmas Special episode of the Money for Life Mastermind, we take a deep dive into Australia's ongoing housing crisis and what it means for property investors.

The discussion explores the key forces driving rising property prices and rental pressures, including population growth, overseas migration, declining rental supply, and recent government initiatives that have intensified demand.

Alongside the market insights, this episode also celebrates the achievements of Positive Property members — from first-time investors to those expanding their portfolios, investing through super, and setting up long-term wealth strategies for their families.

This special episode combines education, perspective, and real-world results, offering listeners both clarity on the market and inspiration from investors taking action.

In this episode, George breaks down APRA's new Debt-to-Income (DTI) rule coming in February 2026—and why investors shouldn't panic. The rule limits banks to approving only 20% of new loans to borrowers with a DTI above six, but most lenders are already well below this threshold.

George explains how this move is more of a light "tune-up" than a crackdown, aimed at slowing down high-risk borrowers while creating a rare buying window for educated investors. With fewer investors able to borrow, rental supply tightens, rents rise, and cash flow strengthens—setting up a classic accumulation phase.

Mortgage broker Barbara adds that lenders still have plenty of room under the cap, and experienced investors often get more flexibility from banks than first-timers.

George also answers questions on rental vacancies, buying property with a partner, Super 6 structures, commercial property risks, inheritance tax, and why Victoria may currently be one of the strongest buying opportunities.

Greg and Suzanne were told their deal was a disaster — wrong suburb, bad timing, too risky. Then the bank's valuation came in $35K short, almost forcing them to walk away.

But they pushed through… and the property that "shouldn't have worked" is now up $134,000.

In this episode of Money for Life Mastermind, George and Charmaine sit down with Greg and Suzanne to unpack:

• What went wrong — and why they kept going

• How they handled a $30K valuation shortfall

• The strategy shift that turned the deal around

• Why "imperfect" properties can become top performers

• The real numbers behind the $134K uplift

• The mindset that separates successful investors from stuck ones

If you've ever felt like quitting when a deal hit a roadblock, this episode will show you what's possible when you follow the strategy and trust the process.
