Another exciting New Podcast Episode! 🏡

Host Mike Mortlock chats with Michael Kowalczyk — a savvy investor and founder of Tailored Property — about the wins, mistakes, and mindset shifts that shaped his journey toward financial freedom.

Michael shares how a deep desire for independence pushed him into property investing from a young age. Like many investors, he made a few missteps early on, but rather than giving up, he took a strategic approach to rebuilding — one that ultimately unlocked options, lifestyle flexibility, and long-term security for his family.

Host Mike Mortlock is joined by Azeem Rahman, a property investor who brings a refreshingly honest and reflective perspective to the show. Unlike many guests, Azeem isn’t a buyer’s agent or property professional — he’s a self-directed investor who started in his early 20s with no real plan, just a deposit and ambition. Now, nearly a decade later, he shares how a lack of strategy led to costly mistakes and missed opportunities.

Azeem walks us through his early investing years — from buying in his own backyard with no clear goal, to realising after his third property that he was building a portfolio without direction. This sparked a turning point: the decision to rethink everything through the lens of strategy.

Another exciting New Podcast Episode! 🏡

Host Mike Mortlock is joined by Joel Moffat, a former bank valuer turned buyer’s agent, who shares how his background in property valuation gives him a unique edge in today’s market. Joel lifts the curtain on how valuations work inside one of the Big Four banks — including the difference between desktop and full valuations, how risks are assessed, and why certain features (like flood zones or outdated imagery) can significantly impact lending outcomes.

Joel explains what “buying below market value” really means, and why it’s not just about getting a discount — but about securing the right property in the right location to drive long-term growth. He outlines the importance of strategy, how he reverse-engineers property plans based on client goals, and why one-size-fits-all models often miss the mark.

Get the inside scoop on one of Australia's hottest markets in 2024 with this week’s episode of the Geared for Growth podcast.

Host Mike Mortlock sits down with Perth-based Senior Mortgage Broker, Janine Leafe, to unpack the incredible 19% price surge that’s taken Perth by storm this year.

They dive deep into the key drivers behind the boom—think affordability, infrastructure projects, and major government backing—and whether this cycle is different from previous boom-and-bust patterns. Janine shares why, despite expectations of slowing growth, a sharp downturn seems unlikely due to solid demand and economic resilience.
