In this Follio Property Podcast episode, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty sit down with Scott O'Neill to unpack the post Budget shift in the Australian property market. Scott explains why residential property Australia no longer stacks up for many investors after tax and policy changes, and why we are seeing a once in a generation move toward commercial property Australia.

You will learn which assets are holding up including large format retail and industrial, why secondary office is the worst market in Australia right now, what the New Zealand case study tells us about rents and the Australia rental crisis, and how mum and dad investors can avoid high risk tenant traps. If you are focused on property investing in Australia for yield and long term stability, this is your playbook for what to buy, what to avoid and how to do due diligence.
