🔥 THE HILL I’LL DIE ON 🔥

Welcome back to The Hill I’ll Die On, our Friday mini-series where industry experts share the one belief they stand firmly behind.

This week, Ben is joined by Nerida Conisbee, Chief Economist at Ray White, to unpack a key issue in today’s housing debate:

Investors provide rental housing.

Nerida explains why this often-overlooked reality plays a critical role in the property market — and what happens when investor participation declines.

The conversation explores rental supply, affordability pressures, policy impacts, and the importance of maintaining a steady pipeline of rental accommodation.

If you’re trying to make sense of rising rents and the broader housing conversation, this episode provides valuable context.

Property management has changed… but not in the way most investors realise.

In Episode 594, we put the spotlight on one of the most overlooked (and misunderstood) parts of real estate: property management.

Joined by experts in the property management field, we’ve got Phil Tarrant, CEO of Managed and host of the Smart Property Investment Show, and Corinne Bohan, Managing Director of Image Property.

Together, they dive into the growing complexity of the industry from rising regulation and tenant expectations to the emotional pressure placed on property managers in today’s market.

This is not a typical Property Couch episode.

In this urgent and important conversation, Ben steps in as Chair of the Property Investors Council of Australia (PICA) to unpack a real-life case that highlights what can happen when the balance between landlord and tenant rights breaks down.

After seeing a confronting story in the media, Ben sits down with investor Dan Yeats to hear firsthand what unfolded — a 13-month ordeal involving unpaid rent, repeated tribunal delays, and a property left in devastating condition.

But this isn’t just about one story. It raises bigger questions about the system, the unintended consequences of legislation, and what needs to change moving forward.

With a key petition closing next week, this episode is a call to understand the issue — and take action if you feel strongly about it.
