Australian Property Talk
Welcome to Australian Property Talk — I'm Redom, a property fanatic. I love sharing stories from the 1000's of investors i represent in my day job at one of Australia's biggest mortgage broking companies, Flint.
I have two brilliant co-hosts who bring a perfect blend of expertise on the economy, property trends and where to buy real estate!
One is a former Treasury economist, Curtis Stewart, who runs FlintInvest - an award winning mortgage broking company for property investors Australia-wide. His officially the smartest person i know, and full of golden nuggets!
My other co-host is Adi Chanda, a man everybody loves, a seasoned buyers agent with a giant property portfolio and fellow property nerd. Adi runs Alaya Property with me, adding in a unique economics driven property strategy that outperforms all the herd following data-driven agents dominating the buyers agency scene in 2025.

Most people look at Melbourne property and see a market going backwards.
They're looking at the wrong data.
In this episode, we go on the ground in western Melbourne — driving the streets, walking past the properties, and showing you exactly what we're buying for clients right now and why. Because while Melbourne's headline numbers are falling, one specific pocket has quietly delivered $400k to $600k in 12 months.
Together, we break down the Melton opportunity — the infrastructure, the land arbitrage, and why this is the western Sydney story playing out all over again.
We cover:
📌 Why Melbourne is actually 10 different markets — and which one is flying
📌 The $900M hospital that's about to change everything in the west
📌 How to get 800sqm of land for effectively $150k
📌 The one suburb away rule — and why it beats buying new every time
📌 Why the window to act is closing faster than most people realise
If you want to buy well in 2026 — not just buy — this is the episode that shows you how.
