Now Is a Golden Time to Buy Property

🎥ABOUT THIS VIDEO: Aron Toundjel was a police officer Now he owns 6 investment properties across Sydney, Queensland, Western Australia and Victoria — built on two normal salaries, no inheritance, and a broker who mapped out a plan nobody thought was possible. In this episode, Lloyd Edge sits down with Aron Toundjel — mortgage broker and property investor — to unpack what actually separates investors who scale from those who stall. Aron shares his full story: The emotional first purchase in Sutherland Shire that’s now worth $1.6M, the broker who changed everything by modelling a 5-property plan, and how releasing equity from one property funded the next without saving another deposit. The episode wraps with Deal or No Deal — four properties pulled from agents’ own interest listings on realestate.com.au — including a potential dual income play in Ulladulla, a pyramid-shaped house in Bruce Rock nobody can explain, a deep waterfront property in Oyster Bay at $3.6M, and a $6.5M home on Water Street with no actual water. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 1:00 – Meet Aron Toundjel: from the police force to mortgage broker and 6-property investor 1:57 – First property: the emotional $860K buy on a $950K listing — and why it worked 3:38 – The owners wanted to meet them — and that meeting changed everything 12:11 – Who Aron works with: home buyers and investors, and how the approach changed post-budget 12:56 – Rentvesting still works — but buying owner-occupier first is making more sense now in some cases 13:09 – Victoria and Tasmania: why first home buyer grants make buying to live in attractive right now 13:31 – Why buying a $600K Sydney unit as your home might not be the smartest move 15:22 – Have budget changes forced a model rethink?

Aus Property Professionals Premium Strategy Session

Most property investors think they need 10, 15, maybe even 20 properties to replace their income and retire comfortably. They're wrong. In this Aus Property Professionals Premium Strategy Session , Lloyd Edge sits down with senior strategist Joey to run through three live property scenarios using their internal portfolio modelling software — and the results will completely change the way you think about building a portfolio. What you'll see modelled live in this session: ✅ Scenario 1 — The 3-Property Portfolio How a household earning $200,000 a year can hit $100K+ passive income — inflation-adjusted to $164K — with just THREE strategic property purchases, including a renovation play and a dual-income property, while staying within $5,000–$15,000 negative cash flow per year. ✅ Scenario 2 — The Owner-Occupier Trap What actually happens when a couple tries to buy their dream home too early. They had a $165,000 cash shortfall. Their borrowing capacity was completely shot for 10 years. Their cash flow stayed negative for the entire 30-year projection. If you are planning to buy your own home soon, you need to watch this first. ✅ Scenario 3 — The Duplex Development Strategy How to use development finance to build duplexes, generate capital, and eventually buy your dream home with a 30% deposit on a $1.8M property — instead of being 106% in debt on a $1.5M home you could barely afford. This is the strategy most Australian investors have never heard of — and it changes everything. The three key takeaways from this session: You don't need 20 properties to reach financial freedom — most people need far fewer than they think Buying your owner-occupied home too early is one of the most common and costly mistakes Australian investors make Development finance is a powerful and completely underutilised tool that lets you build serious capital without destroying your borrowing capacity This is what a real strategy session with Aus Property Professionals actually looks like — real numbers, real scenarios, real outcomes. 🔍 THIS SESSION IS FOR YOU IF: You are an Australian property investor trying to figure out how many properties you actually need You are a couple debating whether to buy your own home or invest first You have been told to just buy as many properties as you can and something about that doesn't feel right ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 – Welcome: What is an Aus Property Professionals Premium Strategy Session? 0:41 – The myth we are debunking today: do you really need 20+ properties? 1:18 – Base case assumptions: $200K household income, $100K passive income goal 8:29 – Cash flow walkthrough: slight negative territory during the accumulation phase 17:01 – The hard truth: you might not get the home you want for the money you have 17:36 – Scenario 3 begins: the duplex development strategy that changes everything 22:35 – The transformation: from 106% debt on $1.5M to 30% deposit on $1.8M 23:25 – Back on track: hitting the passive income goal AND owning the home you actually want 24:28 – The three overarching lessons from today's Premium Strategy Session 25:05 – Rent vesting, downsizing, and other scenarios the software can model for you 26:09 – How to book your own strategy session with Aus Property Professionals 🚨 Book your FREE discovery call with Aus Property Professionals: 👉 https://www.auspropertyprofessionals.com.au 🚨 Get Lloyd's new book Set for Life — available now at all major bookshops, Kmart, and Amazon: 👉 https://amzn.to/3VXfJTp 🚨 Get Positively Geared — Australia's #1 best-selling property investment book: 👉 https://amzn.to/3VXfJTp ✅ CONNECT WITH LLOYD: Website: https://www.auspropertyprofessionals.com.au Email: lloyd@auspropertyprofessionals.com.au Instagram: @lloydedge_buyersagent YouTube: @auspropprofessionals Disclaimer: General information only.

The Mental Health Crisis Nobody Talks About: Men, Divorce, and Starting Over

🎥 ABOUT THIS VIDEO: Almost 50% of Australian marriages end in divorce. But nobody talks about what actually happens after — the financial court battles, the years of limbo where your career stalls, the bills mounting up, the dark days when you genuinely can't see a way forward. In this episode, Lloyd Edge sits down with his old mate Steve — someone he played music with 30 years ago, lost touch with, and only reconnected with recently through Facebook. Steve's story is one of the most honest conversations this channel has ever had. Divorce. Dark days. Financial rebuilding. A Mudgee property on 30 acres that doubled in value. Child support ending and finally seeing a path forward. And a growing passion for mentoring men through some of the toughest moments of their lives. Steve spent years volunteering with a charity that pairs mentors with men going through hard times — sitting with them once a month, listening, helping them realise they're not alone. He also worked inside NRL development programs and saw first-hand what happens to young athletes when their sporting identity suddenly disappears — through injury, through age, through not making the grade. Many of them end up in dark places because nobody ever taught them who they are beyond the game. This episode also gets into the practical side — how Steve used equity from his Mudgee Airbnb property, what the Freedom Fund concept from Lloyd's new book Set for Life looks like in real life for someone rebuilding from scratch, and how to remove emotion from property decisions when you're still carrying the weight of everything that came before. ⏱️ *TIMESTAMPS:* 0:00 – Reconnecting after 30 years: how Lloyd and Steve found each other again 1:15 – How they originally met: playing euphonium together in Sydney (yes, really) 3:10 – Lloyd's 1982 Ford Laser: the $1,500 car whose reverse sensor now costs more than it did 5:35 – Life after music: Steve's colorful career in the automotive trade 7:08 – 50% of Australians get divorced — and most don't know how to start again 8:17 – How Steve's partner became the catalyst for getting back into property 9:02 – Why Steve bought in Mudgee: wineries, Airbnb potential, and a mining lease 10:35 – The property: 30 acres, ridge views, sunsets off the veranda, 18 minutes from town 11:43 – Bought just before COVID: what happened to the value (it doubled) 15:12 – Inside NRL development: the players you'd recognise and why he won't name them 16:10 – What happens to athletes when sport ends — and why it sends some to dark places 17:34 – Child support ending: the financial freedom moment and the Freedom Fund 24:19 – Mentoring young adults through HSC anxiety and life pressure 26:03 – Deal or No Deal begins 26:15 – Deal 1: Horsham VIC — block of 4 x one-bedroom units, $680K, 7.6% yield 29:21 – Deal 2: Regional VIC duplex — 6 bed total, $1.2M, subdivision potential 32:23 – Deal 3: Queensland duplex — Emu Park, $1.25M, brand new, developer still holding 35:56 – Final verdicts, the $50K dog story, and the Set for Life book launch --- 🚨 *Get Lloyd's new book *Set for Life — in bookshops, Kmart, and Amazon now:** 👉 https://amzn.to/3VXfJTp 🥇 *Book a discovery call with Aus Property Professionals:* 👉 https://www.auspropertyprofessionals.... --- ✅ *CONNECT WITH LLOYD:* Website: https://www.auspropertyprofessionals....

The Government Just Betrayed Every Property Investor in Australia

🎥ABOUT THIS VIDEO: In this episode, Lloyd Edge gives his unfiltered reaction to the budget changes hitting Australian property investors right now. Negative gearing on the chopping block. Capital gains tax discount being cut from 50% to 33%. A Prime Minister who promised before the election — on the record — that there would be no changes to negative gearing or CGT. Then changed his position entirely halfway through his term. Lloyd breaks down exactly what these changes mean in real dollar terms for investors, why the government's claim that this helps young Australians get into the market is completely backwards, and what actually happens to rents when investors are punished out of the market — because it already happened in Australia once before, in 1985, and the government had to reverse the policy two years later because rents went through the roof. The episode also covers what investors should actually be doing right now — adding value to existing properties, focusing on cash flow over negative gearing, considering company structures, and why a good property doesn't suddenly become a bad property overnight just because the tax rules changed. This episode gives you straight answers — no spin, no fluff. --- ⏱️ *TIMESTAMPS:* 0:00 – Lloyd's instant reaction: "The worst budget of my lifetime" 1:56 – What the budget actually means for strategic property investors 2:40 – Negative gearing: why the government has always been too scared to touch it 2:57 – Albanese's pre-election promise — and how he broke it 3:36 – Why young Australians are angry (and it's not the reason the government thinks) 4:21 – What happened last time Australia scrapped negative gearing (1985–1987) 4:59 – Immigration vs housing supply: the real crisis the government won't admit 5:40 – CGT discount cut from 50% to 33% — what it actually costs you in dollars 6:26 – Business owners and startups: why the CGT change hits you hardest 7:14 – 10 million renters and 1.4 million on rental assistance — who's really being helped? 8:08 – Albanese's $4.5 million holiday home and the tax he pays on it (zero) 8:47 – Auction clearance rates: from 67% down to 31% — what's happening at the coalface 9:43 – 30% of properties being withdrawn from auction every week — and what that means for buyers 10:03 – Why Lloyd's team is busier than ever — and negotiating $250K under asking price 10:45 – Has the budget scared off investors and first home buyers? 13:47 – Why new estate properties on the urban fringe keep failing investors 14:55 – Adding value is more important than ever — what to focus on right now 15:48 – How much to spend on a renovation: the 5–7% rule explained 16:46 – Using renovation equity to fund your next property purchase 23:39 – Deal 1: Bombay NSW — 4 bed, 3,000sqm, $1.1M near Coffs Harbour 25:34 – Deal 2: Redlands Bay QLD — 3 bed, 506sqm, offers above $550K 🚨 *Get Lloyd's new book *Set for Life — available now at all major bookshops, Kmart, and Amazon:** 👉 https://amzn.to/3VXfJTp 🚨 *Get *Positively Geared — Australia's #1 best-selling property investment book:** 👉 https://amzn.to/3VXfJTp 🥇 *Book a discovery call with Aus Property Professionals:* 👉 https://www.auspropertyprofessionals.... --- ✅ *CONNECT WITH LLOYD:* Website: https://www.auspropertyprofessionals....

The Secret to Generational Wealth Nobody Teaches You in School🤫

ABOUT THIS VIDEO: What does it actually take to set yourself and your family up for life — not just for the next few years, but for generations? In this episode, Lloyd Edge sits down to talk about his brand new book Set for Life — and this one is completely different. It's not a property book. It's not just for investors. It's for anyone, at any age, who wants to take control of their money, build a plan, and stop wondering where their paycheck disappears every month. Lloyd shares the concept of the *Freedom Fund* — a simple but powerful separate savings account that becomes the engine of your financial future. He breaks down how he went from a schoolteacher with no financial goals to building a 19-property portfolio, why compound interest is the most underused wealth tool most Australians ignore, and how even a few small spending changes — like your daily coffee — can add up to thousands in your Freedom Fund each year. The episode also covers a strategy most people have never heard of. Lloyd then opens up about generational wealth, teaching his 5 and 7-year-old kids about money, and the legacy he wants to leave — including funding a school in Kenya and gathering with CEOs and business leaders at Richard Branson's Necker Island. And yes — Richard Branson bought that island for *$*180,000. It's now worth *$*100 million. There's a lesson in there for all of us. *If you've ever asked yourself:* Where does all my money actually go each month? How do I start building wealth when I feel like I'm already behind? How do I teach my kids about money before it's too late? What does real generational wealth actually look like? This is the episode for you. --- ⏱️ *TIMESTAMPS:* --- 0:00 – What inspired Lloyd to write Set for Life — his 4th book 3:31 – Introducing the Freedom Fund — your separate savings account for financial freedom 4:17 – How much of your salary to put in (5%, 10%, 15% — what's realistic) 6:43 – How Lloyd actually learned about wealth — and the no-goal mistake he made buying his first Rockdale apartment 10:41 – The Freedom Fund explained in full — how it actually works 12:18 – No overseas travel until 30, no credit card until 36 — what that sacrifice built 12:35 – Afterpay warning: why buy-now-pay-later is silently killing your future 14:01 – Small changes add up: cutting two coffees = $70 extra in your Freedom Fund per week 15:47 – Compounding growth: how your Freedom Fund turns into your first investment deposit 17:57 – Generational wealth: setting your kids up to set their kids up 20:30 – Compound interest: the 8th wonder of the world (and why your bank account matters) 23:29 – Where to buy Set for Life (Amazon, bookshops, Kmart, airports) 26:10 – Charity and philanthropy: funding a school in Kenya directly 29:51 – Necker Island: what happens at the exclusive gathering of 25 world leaders 31:00 – Necker Island bought for **∗∗180K—nowworth∗∗**180K — 100.... --- 🚨 *Get Lloyd's new book *Set for Life — available now:** amazon.com.au/Set-Life-Property-Wealth-Freedom/dp/1394434782 👉 Amazon, all major bookshops, Kmart, and airports Australia-wide 🚨 *Also grab *Positively Geared — Australia's #1 best-selling property investment book:** 👉 https://amzn.to/3VXfJTp 🥇 *Book a discovery call with Aus Property Professionals:* 👉 https://www.auspropertyprofessionals.... --- ✅ *CONNECT WITH LLOYD:* Website: https://www.auspropertyprofessionals....

The Brutal Truth About Buying 10 Properties in 10 Years

🎥ABOUT THIS VIDEO Bill left school at 16 with no degree, no plan, and no idea about property investing. He went to work for his dad — as a commercial beekeeper. By 29, he owns 9 investment properties across Australia, has a portfolio quietly compounding while he sleeps, and now runs his own mortgage broking and buyer's agency. In this episode, Lloyd Edge sits down with Bill to unpack the real story behind building a property portfolio from scratch — including the deal that went wrong, the broker that nearly stopped him, and the mindset shift that changed everything. They cover why most Australians are chasing the wrong goal (10 properties in 10 years), why brand new properties can be a trap, how to find a broker who actually understands investors, and why your property manager might be costing you far more than their fee. The episode ends with Deal or No Deal — three real properties from Coffs Harbor and regional NSW go under the microscope, with Lloyd and Bill calling them live.

This Could Be the Biggest Property Opportunity in 30 Years

🎥ABOUT THIS VIDEO: Interest rates are rising. Cost-of-living pressures are increasing. The media is full of negative headlines. So is now still a good time to buy property? In this episode, Lloyd Edge breaks down why uncertainty often creates some of the biggest opportunities for property investors and explains why waiting on the sidelines can sometimes be more costly than taking action. Lloyd shares what he's seeing across Australia's property markets right now, from slowing premium suburbs to booming entry-level markets, regional areas outperforming some capital cities, and the opportunities that emerge when fear starts to drive buyer behaviour. The discussion also covers property cycles, interest rates, cash flow strategies, refinancing, fixed versus variable loans, and how investors can stay focused on their long-term goals instead of reacting to headlines. Lloyd also shares a powerful personal example — a family home purchased for $10,000 in the 1970s that is now valued at approximately $2 million — highlighting the impact of long-term capital growth. The episode finishes with Deal or No Deal, where three real properties are analysed live based on location, growth potential, rental appeal, development opportunities, and investment fundamentals.

Why most property buyers Overpay?

ABOUT THIS VIDEO: How do you know what a property is actually worth before you buy it? In this episode, Lloyd Edge breaks down one of the most important skills every property investor and home buyer needs to master — determining true market value. With property prices moving rapidly and buyer competition remaining strong across many parts of Australia, understanding what a property is genuinely worth can be the difference between building wealth and making an expensive mistake. Lloyd explains how experienced investors assess market value, why comparable sales matter, how to identify misleading pricing tactics, and what buyers should look for before making an offer. The discussion also covers rental appraisals, under-market and over-inflated rents, location analysis, flood zones, busy roads, and the common mistakes buyers make when relying too heavily on agent advice. The episode finishes with Deal or No Deal, where three real properties are analysed live based on value, location, growth potential, and investment fundamentals. If you've ever wondered: How do I work out a property's true market value? How do investors avoid overpaying? Can I trust the agent's price guide? What sales should I compare against? How important are rental appraisals? What red flags should buyers watch for?

The Property Mistake That Cost Investors Millions

🎥 ABOUT THIS VIDEO: Capital gains tax changes. Negative gearing debates. Interest rate uncertainty. Melbourne softening. Perth booming. If you're an investor right now, you're being pulled in ten directions at once — and most of the noise isn't helping you make a decision. In this episode, Lloyd Edge sits down to cut through the political noise and give investors a clear-headed view of what's actually happening in the Australian property market right now, what government changes actually mean for your strategy, and why waiting on the sidelines is almost always the wrong move. Lloyd also shares a hard-won personal lesson — what happened when he bought a property yielding $800 a week in a mining town, and what the end of the mining boom did to that investment. It's one of the most honest cautionary tales you'll hear about buying in single-industry markets. The episode wraps up with Deal or No Deal — three real Western Sydney properties between $900K and $1.2M — assessed live on the numbers, location, and strategy fit. If you've ever wondered: Will capital gains tax changes actually affect my property strategy? Should I wait for the market to dip before buying? What makes a regional market safe vs. dangerous to invest in? How do I assess whether a property is actually a deal right now?
