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.

Buying a Melbourne apartment without doing proper due diligence is one of the most expensive mistakes you can make in property. In this episode, Redom sits down with Adi to walk through the exact 49-point checklist they use before recommending any apartment to a client.
This isn't theory. This is the live process a team actively buying Melbourne apartments runs on every single property that comes through their doors - and the reason they reject 9 out of 10.
We unpack:
📌 Why building size and density is the number one filter
📌 The owner-occupier mix rule every apartment investor needs to know
📌 What the strata report actually tells you - and what to look for
📌 Why natural light and layout affect resale more than most investors realise
📌 The mixed-use and student accommodation traps to avoid
📌 How to read a sinking fund and why it matters
📌 The street-level checks that no desktop DD can replace
📌 Real examples of apartments that failed the checklist - and why
If you're buying a Melbourne apartment in 2026 - or thinking about it - this episode gives you the exact framework to make sure you get it right.
Whether you're a first-time investor, an experienced buyer or someone trying to understand what separates a great Melbourne apartment from a liability - this one is essential viewing.
