Behind every successful property investor is a team of trusted professionals. In this episode of Navigating Property with Ben Plohl, Ben unpacks why surrounding yourself with the right experts – from mortgage brokers and buyer’s agents to quantity surveyors and property managers – is key to building a strong, future-proof investment portfolio.
You’ll learn how each specialist plays a role in helping you make smarter decisions, maximise returns and reduce costly mistakes.

Whether you’re a first-time investor or already growing your portfolio, this episode is a practical reminder that property investment is a team sport – and the right support can be a game-changer. If you’re serious about building an investment portfolio, or working with a buyer’s agent, this episode will give you clarity on where to start.

Three months after the federal budget abolished negative gearing, replaced the CGT discount, and taxed trust income, Ben unpacks what actually happened to the market, not what the headlines predicted. While blue-chip Sydney and Melbourne suburbs dropped 6–9%, regional markets quietly posted gains. He breaks down BFP's current playbook (granny flats, dual occupancies, villas, and commercial property) including how one strategy lifted yield from 4.2% to 5.7%, and where the opportunity is hiding for investors still on the sidelines.

Ben Plohl breaks down why serious buyers move during a correction, not after—covering the real leverage showing up in today's market, and why this downturn is concentrated (not universal), with Perth, Brisbane and Adelaide still growing double digits.

"What can $700K buy?" is the wrong question. Ben Plohl breaks down three real options a regional freestanding home, a lifestyle villa in Geelong or Newcastle, or a Melbourne walk-up and the four-lens framework BFP uses to match budget to the right strategy, not just the right suburb.



The difference between building real wealth through property and simply owning it comes down to strategy, execution, and the right team in your corner.
