Property investing in Australia is full of advice that sounds right, but quietly leads people in the wrong direction. In this episode of the Defence Property Podcast, Kane and Nadia unpack the biggest property investing myths and explain why they keep showing up at BBQs, in the media, and across the property “guru” world.
They break down what’s actually true, what’s only half true, and what investors should focus on instead if they want to build a portfolio based on solid fundamentals (not hype, commissions, or wishful thinking).
In this episode, we cover:
• Why “you make money when you buy” is only part of the story
• The risk of chasing capital growth without considering cash flow and serviceability
• Why negative gearing and depreciation don’t fix a bad asset
• The truth about new builds, developer incentives, and land-to-asset ratios
• Why limiting yourself to investing where you live can hold you back
• The reality that property isn’t fully passive, even with a property manager
• Why the second and third purchases are often harder than the first, and how to plan for it
If you’re serious about investing long-term, this episode is a practical reminder to replace emotion with strategy, process, and decades-long thinking.
