Most investors treat finance and property management as separate conversations, but that disconnect could be costing them growth, cash flow and long-term strategy.

In the latest episode of the PMX Podcast, Managed co-founder Alex Whitlock sits down with Finni Mortgages principal Eva Loisance to unpack one of the most overlooked dynamics in property investing: the powerful yet underutilised relationship between mortgage brokers and property managers.

From shaping purchasing decisions before a deal is even signed to optimising portfolio performance long after settlement, Whitlock reveals why his mortgage broker has been a constant strategic partner throughout his 30-year investment journey.

Loisance pulls back the curtain on the growing challenges investors face in today's market and why brokers are no longer just loan facilitators, but critical advisers on yield, cash flow and long-term portfolio strategy.

The conversation dives into a major missed opportunity across the industry: property managers and brokers rarely collaborate despite being perfectly positioned to deliver a more holistic service.

From lease renewals triggering portfolio reviews to untapped referral partnerships, the episode explores how better alignment could unlock stronger results for investors and new revenue streams for professionals.

From investor confidence erosion to a class war between landlords and tenants, Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman break down all the news coming out of Australia's property market.

In this episode of Property Buzz, Tarrant and Garman examine the forces reshaping the market – from investor fatigue in Victoria to the broader economic risks tied to housing affordability.

The pair highlight growing concern among investors, particularly in Victoria, where tightening compliance and policy settings are dampening confidence.

Tarrant pushes back against what he sees as a "class war" narrative between tenants and landlords, arguing the two are fundamentally linked and that this framing risks distorting policy decisions.

The co-host also introduces the idea of a "property investment clock", arguing that cumulative changes – tax, compliance, and rising costs – are steadily eroding the viability of investing, saying that if conditions worsen, the market could face an investor exodus, reducing rental stock and intensifying Australia's housing shortage.
