In a special episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil Tarrant welcomes Bryce Holdaway and Ben Kingsley from The Property Couch podcast, sharing 20 years of collective property investment experience.
They discuss their latest book, How to Retire on $3,000 a Week, which offers practical strategies for achieving financial independence through real estate.
Bryce emphasises that residential property remains a reliable wealth-building tool for everyday Australians, while Phil calls it the “great Australian side hustle”.
Ben highlights the significant economic contribution of property investors, citing $33.1 billion in capital gains tax paid in 2022–23.
Bryce challenges negative stereotypes of investors, pointing to policy misalignments as the primary cause of housing affordability issues, and encourages new buyers to adopt disciplined, long-term approaches rather than chasing quick wins.
The trio lament the exclusion of seasoned investors from policy discussions, urging greater engagement with market experts, reinforcing that successful property investing requires knowledge, strategy, and patience to build lasting wealth.
