Tired of fighting dozens of buyers for the same listings on realestate.com.au? The truth is - the best property deals are happening where you can't see them.

While the majority of Australian home buyers search popular websites like realestate.com.au or domain.com.au, the most lucrative property investment opportunities are often happening completely under the radar - through off-market deals.

These properties never hit public listings, giving buyers with the right connections a significant competitive advantage.

In this episode of Rentvesting with Steve Williams, you’ll discover what makes off-market opportunities worthwhile, what red flags to watch for, and most importantly, how you can access these hidden deals yourself.

Steve shares his personal experience purchasing multiple off-market properties and explains why not all off-market deals are created equal.

From understanding seller motivations to building relationships with agents, this episode provides a comprehensive roadmap to navigating this territory.

Your decision-making style is either propelling you forward or holding you back in building wealth through property.

Property investment success hinges on more than just finding the right property. Your mindset might be the hidden factor determining whether you take action or remain stuck.

In this episode, Steve Williams, founder of W Property Advisory, breaks down how mindset impacts each stage of the property buying journey - and what separates successful investors from those who struggle to get ahead.

Steve unpacks the critical difference between people prone to "analysis paralysis" and big-picture thinkers who make decisions confidently.

With property prices in some markets increasing by $5,000-15,000 monthly, delaying decisions can be incredibly costly.

The episode also covers negotiation mindset, handling post-purchase expenses, and strategies for building a growth mindset that supports your property investment goals.

00:02:48 Pre-purchase decision making
00:05:40 The purchasing phase challenges
00:08:18 Negotiation mindset strategies

Many first-time property buyers across Australia are sacrificing their lifestyle and financial flexibility for the illusion of homeownership - through the First Home Guarantee scheme.

Today, Steve is diving into the pros and cons of the First Home Guarantee scheme versus the rentvesting strategy for first-time property buyers in Australia.

While the 5% deposit requirement sounds attractive at first glance, Steve explores how this approach can force buyers into undesirable locations, limit financial flexibility, and potentially reduce long-term wealth creation opportunities.

Steve unpacks the current eligibility requirements for the First Home Guarantee - including income caps, property price thresholds, and proposed changes ahead of the federal election.

He explores how these constraints might be pushing first-time buyers into declining markets or property types with poor investment potential.

By contrast, rentvesting offers the freedom to live where you want while investing where the numbers make sense.

Steve shares insights on identifying market cycles using specific tools and explains how personal lifestyle preferences should influence your property strategy.
