Pros And Cons of Investing in Rooming Houses Part 2
In this episode, Rajan Sharma and I dive into the financials and management of co-living properties, focusing on six-bedroom and nine-bedroom homes. Rajan explains that a six-bedroom, six-bathroom property can generate around $93,000 annually in gross income, with net earnings between $25,000 and $30,000 after expenses.
For a larger nine-bedroom, nine-bathroom property, the gross income can reach $140,000, with net returns ranging from $45,000 to $50,000, assuming we maintain high occupancy rates of 95% to 98%. He emphasizes that achieving these returns depends heavily on factors like the property’s location, management quality, and architectural design. Good design can significantly impact the property’s rental potential, with well-planned layouts and appealing aesthetics attracting more tenants.
We also discuss potential pitfalls, such as the risk of not achieving full occupancy and the complexities of securing council approvals. Rajan underscores the importance of thorough planning and having an experienced team to navigate these challenges effectively. He contrasts his team’s approach with others in the market, who might face higher risks of delays and complications. This episode offers a detailed look at the opportunities and challenges in co-living property investments, highlighting the necessity of strategic planning, expert support, and thoughtful architectural design to maximize returns and ensure a successful venture.

8. Property Prices Are Being Manipulated by AI! Australian Investors Lose Millions In Property Deals
36:31||Season 4, Ep. 8AI is rapidly changing how people invest in real estate, but is it actually helping investors or misleading them?In this episode, we break down the reality of AI in property investing, and whether it is truly predicting growth or simply amplifying demand and inflating prices in certain suburbs. Most investors rely on AI tools, suburb reports, and hotspot lists, but the data shows something surprising. In many cases, these predictions underperform the market, meaning you could be better off making random investment decisions than blindly following AI-driven insights. We cover:Why AI cannot accurately predict property hotspotsThe truth about suburb vs street-level investingHow buyer demand is being concentrated artificiallyWhy median prices and vacancy rates are misleadingThe danger of “hot suburb” lists and hype cyclesHow large buyer groups and agencies can influence local marketsThe shift from reactive investing to predictive data-driven strategiesOne of the biggest takeaways is this: Property markets are no longer moving at suburb level. The real growth happens at the street and micro-location level, where up to 97% of properties move together in the same direction. At the same time, AI tools like ChatGPT are designed to generate content, not predict investment outcomes. They are great at storytelling, but poor at forecasting real estate performance.This creates a dangerous situation where investors follow trends, headlines, and AI-generated insights, leading to:Overpaying for propertiesEntering markets too lateFalling into hype-driven growth cyclesIf you are investing in Australian property in 2026, this episode will completely change how you think about:AI property investing, suburb growth, real estate data, and market cycles.

4. S4E4 Part 2: Australia Housing Shock: Investors Panic as Major Banks Crack Down on Trust Lending
24:42||Season 4, Ep. 4Trust lending just got a lot harder in Australia, and most investors still do not understand what banks want now. In this episode, Moxin Reza and Ali Nanji break down the real trust lending changes, why some lenders are stepping back (including Macquarie pausing new trust and company home loans), and why other lenders are tightening visibility instead of shutting the doors completely.You will learn what is actually changing inside assessments, why rates were already higher for trust borrowers at many major banks, and how lenders are now trying to “open the curtains” by checking connected entities, guarantor exposure, and trust structures more closely.We also connect the dots to the bigger 2026 lending landscape, including APRA’s new debt to income guardrail, which limits how much high DTI lending banks can write (separately for investors and owner occupiers).What we coverWhy major banks never loved residential trust lending, and how they priced it to discourage demandMacquarie’s decision to pause new lending to trusts and companies and what it signalsThe big policy shift: lenders want visibility on what sits behind the trustWhat lenders are tightening: entity checks, related party exposure, and more scrutiny of structuresMyth busting: “your portfolio will freeze overnight” versus what actually happens in real approvalsConservative banks vs specialist lenders, and why investor brokers often lean outside the majorsHow APRA’s 6x DTI setting changes the game for outliers, and why most borrowers are still inside policyKey takeaways for investorsTrust lending is not dead, but the “easy mode” is goneSustainable structuring matters more now (especially cashflow resilience at higher rates)Expect more documents, more disclosure, and more questions about connected entitiesThe best defence is clean numbers, conservative buffers, and clear exit strategiesUseful references mentioned in the episode topic (for viewers)Macquarie pauses new lending to trusts and companies (effective 31 Oct 2025)APRA activates DTI limits (effective 1 Feb 2026, 6x DTI guardrail)Example of non bank tightening trust policy (Firstmac coverage)Guest and contactAli Nanji, Morgan ScoutWebsite: morganscout.com.auFor questions: info@helpmebuy.com.auDisclaimer: This episode is general information only and is not financial or tax advice.

1. S4,E1: Will RBA Rates Fall, Hold or Rise in 2026?
25:55||Season 4, Ep. 1Welcome to the new season of Help Me Buy Property Podcast! Season 4 kicks off with an episode about one of the biggest questions dominating the Australian property market right now:RBA’s next rate announcement!!! Are interest rates going up, coming down, or staying exactly where they are?This episode goes beyond headlines and hype. In this episode of the Help Me Buy Property Podcast, host Moxin Reza is joined by Ali Nanji from Mortgage Scout.With economists, banks, and media all split on forecasts, this episode cuts through the noise to explain what the RBA is actually looking at, why rate cuts on their own mean very little, and how property investors and home buyers should position themselves regardless of what happens next.The episode further breaks down how the RBA sets interest rates based on inflation, employment, GDP, and economic stability and not property prices or mortgages. Also, a 0.25% rate rise typically impacts borrowing capacity by just 2–3%, meaning small rate moves alone shouldn’t drive major property decisions.So, what’s the verdict? Tune in to learn for yourself!Highlights:00:00 – Welcome to Help Me Buy Property Podcast02:24 – Rate rise impact on property prices09:12 – Paying off loans in 15 years16:18 – RBA’s rate hike strategy20:23 – Investor decisions & Rate hike23:22 – Final verdict on RBA rate announcement About the Guest:Ali Nanji is principal broker at Mortgage Scout, specialising in residential and investment lending.
