      <title>Best Melbourne Suburbs to Invest in 2026 (Under $800K Budget)</title>
      <description>In this episode of My Next Property, Steve breaks down the five Melbourne suburbs he’s currently recommending to clients, the data behind each pick, and the exact reasons these pockets are set up to outperform over the next property cycle.



While most investors are piling into Perth and Brisbane, Steve makes the contrarian case for Melbourne — covering vacancy rates, yields, owner-occupier concentration, hold periods, school zones. He also calls out the Melbourne suburbs to avoid (including Rockbank and parts of the north), the three biggest mistakes investors are making in Melbourne right now, and why Melbourne is a more compelling value play than Perth or Brisbane at this point in the cycle.



If you’re a value-focused investor looking for strong land-to-asset ratios, tightly held owner-occupier markets, and capital growth potential at the $800K mark, this is the Melbourne playbook.



0:33   Pick #1: Kilsyth – the land-to-asset ratio play 36km east of CBD

3:00   Pick #2: Moorabbin – the owner-occupier forever-home market

5:02   Pick #3: Noble Park – the gentrifying sleeper in Melbourne’s southeast

7:05   Pick #4: Seabrook – the tightly held southwest pocket near Point Cook

9:20   Pick #5: Berwick – premium schools, top socio score &amp; price headroom

11:14  Melbourne suburbs to AVOID – Rockbank &amp; the house &amp; land trap

11:56  3 biggest mistakes investors are making in Melbourne right now

13:47  Melbourne vs Brisbane vs Perth – why Melbourne wins at this point in the cycle

16:18  The investor this strategy suits – holding long, extracting equity

      <title>WARNING: Westpac Just Predicted 3 More Rate Rises — What It Actually Means for Australian Investors?</title>
      <description>Steve Ash breaks down the Australian property market outlook for 2026 — cutting through the fear around interest rates, geopolitical uncertainty, and the AI job threat to show where the real opportunity is right now on My Next Property.



The market is splitting in two, and which tier you invest in will make or break your 2026 strategy. Steve goes deep on two contrasting markets — Perth's momentum-driven growth and Melbourne's undervalued comeback — and reveals the three data points he uses to spot a city at the start of its cycle.



If you've been sitting on the fence waiting for the perfect time to buy, Steve makes the case for why that thinking could cost you. 



1:45 Interest Rate Impact: How Borrowing Power Is Falling

4:49 The Two-Tiered Market Thesis — High End vs. Affordable

8:16 Perth Deep Dive — Momentum Play &amp; Equity Growth Targets

11:10 Melbourne Deep Dive — 3 Data Points to Spot the Cycle

14:24 How to Be a Contrarian in a Scary Market

15:24 Answering the 4 Big Investor Objections Right Now

18:00 Real Deal Example: Lowball Offer Strategy in Point Cook

19:30 2026 Summary &amp; Warren Buffett's Timeless Rule

Hung breaks down exactly how he bought his first property in Perth $200,000 below market value, how he's already refinanced and pulled equity within two months of settling, and the step-by-step snowball strategy he's using to get to five properties in 24 months — without injecting another dollar of personal income.

Follow along as one of Australia's sharpest mortgage brokers proves the formula live.

      <title>The 2026 Property Spoiler: Why Investors Are Dumping Houses for Units</title>
      <description>Units are the most undervalued asset class in Australian property right now!

In this episode of My Next Property, Steve Ash reveals why house-to-unit price discounts have blown out to 57% in Sydney, 42% in Melbourne, and 37–38% in Brisbane and Perth — and why every property investor in Australia needs to be paying attention in 2025–2026.

He covers the full unit investing playbook: which cities have the biggest arbitrage opportunity, what types of units to buy (and what to avoid entirely), how to read a strata report, and why the cash flow math on units right now stacks up better than houses in most markets. Plus, we run the actual numbers — comparing 2 Melbourne houses vs 10 units at the same cost, and the results are hard to argue with.

      <title>Do NOT Buy Property in These 5 Areas (2026 Warning)</title>
      <description>In this episode of My Next Property, Steve Ash reveals the five Australian areas he believes investors should avoid in 2026.

From Melbourne's oversupplied high-rise towers to Sydney's defect-plagued apartment blocks, Steve breaks down exactly why these "affordable" investments could trap your portfolio. He also makes two bold contrarian calls on areas that will grow in 2026 — but argues the long-term risk far outweighs the short-term gain.

Whether you're a first-time investor or scaling your portfolio, this episode is essential viewing before making your next move.

1:24 — #1: Melbourne Towers — Why Docklands &amp; Southbank are investor traps

4:24 — #2: Sydney Towers — Homebush's defect crisis &amp; six-figure special levies

6:18 — #3: House &amp; Land in North Melbourne — 10%+ vacancy rates &amp; zero scarcity

8:25 — #4: Far North Queensland — Townsville's 70% boom &amp; the mining town warning

12:10 — The Port Hedland precedent — When a boom turns into negative equity

13:52 — #5: Darwin &amp; Palmerston — The most controversial call (20–40% growth, but...)

18:32 — Full recap — All 5 areas summarised with Steve's final verdict

      <itunes:summary>In this episode of My Next Property, Steve Ash reveals the five Australian areas he believes investors should avoid in 2026.

From Melbourne's oversupplied high-rise towers to Sydney's defect-plagued apartment blocks, Steve breaks down exactly why these "affordable" investments could trap your portfolio. He also makes two bold contrarian calls on areas that will grow in 2026 — but argues the long-term risk far outweighs the short-term gain.

Whether you're a first-time investor or scaling your portfolio, this episode is essential viewing before making your next move.

1:24 — #1: Melbourne Towers — Why Docklands &amp; Southbank are investor traps

4:24 — #2: Sydney Towers — Homebush's defect crisis &amp; six-figure special levies

6:18 — #3: House &amp; Land in North Melbourne — 10%+ vacancy rates &amp; zero scarcity

8:25 — #4: Far North Queensland — Townsville's 70% boom &amp; the mining town warning

12:10 — The Port Hedland precedent — When a boom turns into negative equity

13:52 — #5: Darwin &amp; Palmerston — The most controversial call (20–40% growth, but...)

18:32 — Full recap — All 5 areas summarised with Steve's final verdict

      <title>100 Properties + $100M Portfolio: Here's His Next Big Move - Michael Xia</title>
      <description>In this episode of My Next Property, Steve Ash sits down with Michael Xia - founder of Mortgage Channel, 100+ property portfolio owner, and one of Australia's most experienced property investors - to break down his exact strategy for building a $100M portfolio from scratch.

Michael reveals why he's now buying old red brick units in Sydney for as low as $435K (cheaper than Brisbane!), why Melbourne's bottom was Australia Day 2024, and how the boring "rinse and repeat" approach to property investing beats flashy strategies every time.

Whether you're a first-time buyer trying to break into the market or an experienced investor hunting for the next contrarian play, this episode is packed with actionable insights on market cycles, cash flow strategy, and why diversification might actually be hurting your returns. 

0:00 — Meet the man who built a $100M portfolio from scratch

5:36 — Why Michael never diversifies (and what Warren Buffett taught him)

9:47 — How he became the street-level expert agents call first

13:50 — Regional vs capital city: Why Townsville is a trap at $650K

17:08 — Melbourne has bottomed — the suburbs already moving

21:00 — $435K Sydney units: The play he says is bigger than Logan

34:57 — The $2.5M to $150K passive income blueprint (on paper)

44:44 — It's all a game of inflation: The debt erosion theory

52:04 — What's next for Michael &amp; how to reach Mortgage Channel

      <title>Tasmania Goldmine: 5 Suburbs to Buy Before the AFL Arrives!</title>
      <description>In this episode, Steve Ash breaks down 5 suburbs in Tasmania with median prices between $377K-$580K, vacancy rates under 1.5%, and yields hitting 5-5.5%.

Tasmania is emerging as one of Australia's most exciting property investment opportunities heading into 2026.

0:00 - Introduction: Why Tasmania is suddenly on every investor's radar 

2:47 - #1 Glenorchy (Hobart): $580K median, 0.9% vacancy – Steve's top pick

3:48 - #2 Newnham (Launceston): $535K with 70% owner-occupier rate 

4:48 - #3 Ravenswood: Tasmania's cheapest at $409K with 5.4% yield

5:41 - #4 East Devonport: 22% growth last year, 0.6% vacancy

6:51 - #5 Shorewell Park (Burnie): $377K median – ultra-affordable entry 

7:58 - Full Suburb Recap: Quick comparison of all 5 areas

      <title>This City Is Set To Boom in 2026 (Not Brisbane or Melbourne)</title>
      <description>In this episode, Steve Ash breaks down why Geelong is Australia's hottest regional property market right now.

Whether you're a first-time investor looking for affordable entry or wanting premium growth potential, this episode maps out exactly where to buy, what to avoid (watch out for that reactive sandy soil), and why Geelong could mirror what happened to the Sunshine Coast.

      <description>Is a house and land package really a smart investment, or a costly trap?

      <title>The Canberra Goldmine: 3 Suburbs to Buy in 2026</title>
      <description>While everyone's chasing Brisbane and Perth, savvy investors are quietly discovering Canberra's hidden potential. In this episode, Steve Ash breaks down why the nation's capital could be Australia's most underrated property market right now. With bulletproof government employment, ultra-tight vacancy rates, and suburbs showing early signs of momentum, Canberra offers something most hot markets can't: stability with upside. From the affluent owner-occupier pockets of Wanniassa and Conder to the strategic NSW border play of Queanbeyan (with 10.4% growth in the last 12 months), this episode is packed with real data and actionable insights.If you're priced out of Brisbane or looking for your next portfolio addition, this could be the opportunity hiding in plain sight. 0:00 – Why nobody's talking about Canberra (and why they should be)2:55 – The biggest CON of investing in Canberra (leasehold &amp; holding costs)3:55 – Wanniassa: 81.9% owner-occupiers &amp; 12.5 year hold periods5:56 – Conder: Affordable entry with granny flat potential8:41 – The "cheat code" suburb: Queanbeyan (freehold land, no ACT fees)11:15 – Queanbeyan's 10.4% growth in the last 12 months13:10 – Steve's final verdict: Is Canberra worth it?

      <description>Sydney's 2000 Olympics saw property prices surge 60% in the lead-up, nearly double the national average. Now Brisbane is next. 



In this episode, Steve Ash breaks down exactly what happened before and after the Sydney Games, and how those same patterns could play out for Brisbane 2032. From the M4 extension transforming Western Sydney to suburbs like Auburn and Parramatta outperforming, history reveals a clear playbook for Olympic city investing.

5:06 – The suburbs that outperformed: Auburn, Parramatta, Ryde

7:00 – Brisbane's major projects: Cross River Rail, Victoria Park Stadium

9:29 – The specific suburbs Steve is watching for Brisbane 2032

11:38 – Why Petrie is a sleeper suburb (22km north with fast train access)

12:25 – Logan's transformation: from affordable to almost million-dollar suburbs

13:45 – Key difference: Brisbane has tighter stock and lower vacancy than pre-2000 Sydney

16:11 – Walking the suburbs: Brisbane's transformation from sleepy town to vibrant city

19:08 – Regional venue spread — why Brisbane could outperform Sydney's model

Learn why boring beats flashy, how to use different lending tiers strategically, and why the right market timing matters more than perfect execution.

      <title>100K New Jobs &amp; $12B: Can Brisbane Repeat Sydney's 154%?</title>
      <description>Steve Ash and Tom Clark reveal why Brisbane's 2032 Olympics could mirror Sydney's 154% price growth during its Olympic period. With 100,000+ jobs being created, $17 billion Cross River Rail, and properties already doubling since 2019, they break down three explosive investment zones before the games. 

Tom also reveals the shocking commercial opportunity as the largest memorabilia company in Australia scrambles for Brisbane retail space right now. With Logan potentially hitting $1 million median prices, this isn't speculation—it's a $12 billion infrastructure boom creating generational wealth opportunities.
