Most people buy one home a decade; Kevin bought 10 in a year. By leveraging a $7 million investment into $1.6 million in profit, he achieved a massive 23 per cent growth rate across his entire portfolio.

This isn't luck. And it's not something most investors can replicate in years...let alone one.

So how did Kevin and his wife, Alyssa, actually pull this off? This Property Unfiltered podcast episode takes a closer look at:

• How they sourced deals that most investors never even see in major capital cities.
• How they scaled rapidly without overexposing themselves to risk.
• The strategy behind stacking multiple high-growth assets in a short window.

How can investors keep their property portfolios safe as interest rates rise, taxes shift, and global uncertainty starts to bite?

On the Property Investing Insights podcast, Victor and Reshmi Kumar join Phil Tarrant to break down how investors are navigating rising rates, geopolitical pressure, and looming tax changes.

From fears around capital gains tax and negative gearing to the pressure of higher borrowing costs, the trio reveals why panic-driven decisions are the biggest threat to long-term wealth – and how many investors get it wrong.

They break down why resilience, cash buffers, and a long-term mindset matter more than ever, and how the current environment could actually create opportunity for those who stay disciplined.

The experts urge investors not to react to the noise but to build a strategy that holds up.

How is economic uncertainty creating both risks and opportunities for investors heading into 2027? The 2027 SPI FAST 50 special podcast series, with Smart Property Investment's Phil Tarrant and Pure Property Investment's Paul Glossop, concludes with a focus on the broader forces shaping Australia's property market.

The pair highlights how the FAST 50 2027 report has systematically broken down suburb-level prospects, but stresses that wider macro conditions are now playing an even bigger role in shaping outcomes.

They point to ongoing unpredictability across inflation, interest rates, global conflict and policy settings as key pressures influencing investor sentiment.

Despite this, Glossop argues the current environment should be viewed as an opportunity window rather than a reason to retreat, with the underlying demand for housing continuing to outpace supply.

Tarrant echoes this view, warning that waiting for "perfect conditions" could mean missing key entry points in the cycle.

The discussion explores how elevated inflation, tighter lending conditions and potential tax changes are weighing on borrowers, even as strong employment and infrastructure spending support broader economic resilience.

The hosts note that population growth and migration continue to drive rental demand, reinforcing the market's long-term structural support.

For investors, Glossop highlights a potential short-term window where well-prepared buyers can act strategically by securing finance and targeting affordable, gentrifying suburbs with strong fundamentals.

Overall, the episode reinforces that while the FAST 50 provides a roadmap for suburb selection, success in 2027 will ultimately depend on timing, preparation and the ability to act decisively amid ongoing economic uncertainty.
