   #16 How Bank Valuations Work in Australia (Explained) | The Buy-In

   A bank valuation can make or break your finance approval, and when it comes in below your purchase price, it can throw your whole plan into chaos. In this episode of The Buy-In, Trent Cripps (Director of Property Strategy, Sevenfold Property Group) and Simon Podger (Director of Lending, Your Future Strategy) break down how property valuations work in Australia, why lenders order them, and what to do when a valuation falls short. You’ll learn the difference between a full valuation, a desktop valuation, an AVM and a contract-of-sale assessment, how lenders decide which one to use, why valuations can sometimes be conservative, and how comparable sales influence the outcome. Plus, Trent and Simon explore the practical options when a bank valuation comes in low, from challenging it with supporting evidence to switching lenders, adjusting building plans or contributing additional funds. Whether you’re buying your first home or your next investment property, understanding the valuation process and how it affects your LVR and financing options can help you navigate the buying process with greater confidence. 👉 Need a hand with finance or property strategy?

   Commercial Property Investing: What Makes a Good Deal? | The Buy-In Commercial Ep.2

   How to assess a commercial property investment - and how do you know whether a deal is worth the risk?

   How Sophisticated Investors Structure Debt Across a Property Portfolio | The Buy-In Special Episode

   In this special Sydney-recorded episode of The Buy-In, Gareth Croy is joined by Chris Wisbey, General Manager of Scene Finance, to talk about the role lending plays as property investment becomes more sophisticated. They unpack why experienced investors can find themselves hitting borrowing capacity limits despite having significant assets and strong incomes, how the traditional buy-and-hold approach is evolving, and why the right funding strategy needs to work alongside the property strategy. The conversation covers specialist lending, debt-to-income ratios and borrowing capacity, debt recycling, residential and commercial property, value-add and small development strategies, co-living, due diligence and what lenders are actually looking at behind the scenes. They also look at a question investors don’t ask often enough: are the people involved in your property transaction actually aligned with the long-term performance of the asset, or simply incentivised to get the deal done? If you’re building a property portfolio, have reached the point where borrowing is becoming more complex, or are considering what your next move might look like, there’s plenty to take away from this one. ▶ Subscribe to The Buy-In for more conversations about property, investment and the strategies behind building a portfolio.

   Commercial Property Investing in Australia | The Buy In: Commercial Ep.1

   Commercial property investing in Australia, explained. We compare commercial vs residential yields, show how much deposit you really need, and we break down a real $1M industrial deal. Episode 1 of The Buy-In: Commercial. Nick Selbie and Luke Boulden unpack why more residential, and SMSF investors are moving into commercial in 2026: higher yields, longer and more secure leases, and rent that compounds. We bust the "you need millions" myth, walk a $1M industrial strata deal from deposit to cash-on-cash return, explain why the headline yield is a trap (5% vs 7% comes down to one word: risk), and share a due-diligence war story every buyer should hear.

   The Rules Have Changed. What Should Property Investors Do Now?

   The announcements have landed. We finally have more clarity. And plenty more to talk about. So we got back around the table. Following the response to our first Budget conversation, Trent Cripps, Gareth Croy and Bodie Simpson return to continue the discussion, this time joined by Nick Selbie, Director of Commercial & Advisory. With the latest developments now touching self-managed super funds, residential property, commercial property, small business and investment strategy, the conversation has only become bigger. In this follow-up conversation they unpack: • The latest changes affecting SMSFs and residential property investment • Why commercial property is suddenly attracting so much attention • The danger of rushing into commercial property or chasing yield without understanding the fundamentals • Whether the changes really target wealthy investors, or could have much broader consequences • What uncertainty means for property markets, business confidence and investment decisions • The impact on small business owners, tax structures and entrepreneurship in Australia • Why investment bonds and other strategies may become increasingly relevant • The risks of sitting on your hands and waiting for the rules, the market or the political environment to change again There is still more detail to come. But one thing is clear: making investment decisions based on headlines, deadlines or tax outcomes alone can carry significant risks. Your goals haven't changed. The strategy may need to. Watch the full conversation and let us know what you think.

   The Hidden Lending Traps in Property Investing

   Not all investment properties are created equal and neither are the lending rules behind them. In the first episode of 2026, Trent and Simon unpack the different types of property investments that fall outside the “standard” house or townhouse and what you need to know before jumping in.

    One Premium Property or Two Solid Investments?

    Welcome to The Buy-In, where we unpack everything property - from strategy to lending and everything in between. In this episode, Sevenfold Property Group’s Director of Property Strategy Trent Cripps and Director of Lending at Your Future Strategy Simon Podger tackle a common investor question: is it smarter to buy one higher-value property, or two mid-priced assets? They compare diversification, vacancy risk, yields, LMI and cash-flow impacts, and how loan structuring (avoiding cross-collateralisation) and equity recycling affect your ability to keep growing. They also cover land-tax considerations, tenant profiles, and how time horizon and risk tolerance should shape the call. Whether you’re early in your journey or optimising a growing portfolio, this episode helps you align asset selection with strategy - not headlines.
