Reality Reno with Mitch and Mark
A podcast for anyone who lives in a house or apartment rented or owned and wants to make it a better place to live.
Our passion is space, not outer space but beautiful space, fabulous living space.
Our mission is to help people create dynamic and inspiring spaces for their homes.
But we are not just about space, property and material things… we love people.
We are deeply interested in the people we talk to and what makes them tick and what inspires the choices they make in their lives and in their homes.
You may know us from our appearances on the Channel 9 show The Block, which provided us with the fantastic opportunity to meet some amazing people who have incredible stories to tell about their adventures through the world of renovation and beyond.

Delighted to have you on this journey with us.

Gender Fluid Fashion,Harry Styles inspiration and More
Gender Fluid Fashion….
What a crazy world!
This week Mitch launched his new range of fashion at Mitch and Mark HOME, and we talk about the whole influence of gender fluidity on fashion, and what does that mean? Harry Styles does it, Christian Wilkins does it….but can anyone play with gender fluid fashion?
And, we’re in an election. What does this mean for property owners, people who want to buy and people who are renting. There’s talk of interest rate hikes, and now pressure in the rental market. What are the candidates saying, if anything, about property.
The Block 2022 got started, and for one couple came to an abrupt end. The Block never fails to deliver twists and turns…what next?
We wrap up Season 1 of Reality Reno with mitch and mark, and will be taking a short break, but stay tuned for our ‘living next door to Alice’ updates on property and will our portrait make the final of the Archibald Prize! The incredible artist Caroline Zilinsky captured us on canvas, but will her skill see her portrait short listed…and what is the Block connection to The Archibald?
Stay Tuned!
We’ll be back from 1st June with plenty of new guests and lots to talk about renovations and property….
Delighted to have you on this journey with us.

The impact of "Long Covid" on building and reno's
This week we take a look at long covid, ….. the effects on the building and renovation industry which ,we think are starting to ripple through the community.
In this episode we make a call to our Block builder, Jason Charles, to get his insights into what’s happening, and what the future looks like for renovators in Australia!
With the impacts on freight, and the effects of the Russian invasion of the Ukraine, the cost of materials for building and renovation are skyrocketing. The impact is being felt by builders and in turn has to be passed on to their clients.
In recent months we’ve seen the collapse of building companies in Queensland, WA, Tasmania, Victoria and it’s likely there are more to come.
Right now, it’s almost impossible to have builders provide fixed quotes for jobs, as material costs are so volatile.
‘Long Covid’ is not just a physical phenomenon, but it has emotional, social and economic impact as well. Physical and mental fatigue can set in, so right now looking after our community's mental health is so important.
Kindness counts and our builders and tradies are trying to survive in a dynamically changing environment. Also, remember there are services available if you need support.
So if you think you may be struggling with your mental health here are some numbers and resources for you

Listeners Q&A with Mitch and Mark
We’ve had lots of questions come in from listeners, so this week we share our thoughts and experience with flipping properties and answer three of our most frequently asked questions.
• Can you make money flipping….well, yes…and no….? We share our approach to the property flipping ‘business’. What do we consider when approaching a project, and what is ‘manufactured growth’? From our perspective, you make your money when you buy your flip-project, not when you sell!
• Mitch often talks about ‘reducing the apologies’ in a property. We’re asked what that actually means, and how do you do it. We share a couple of examples of how an ‘apology’ in a property we bought, became an opportunity to create added value where other potential buyers couldn’t see it.

Keeping to budget in any renovation is tough. Are there tricks to keeping on budget? We share some of our approaches to managing a budget while property flipping, and options for saving money along the way.
