Hi Matt, Remember when buying a property meant rushing through an inspection, competing against a dozen other buyers and making a decision before the weekend was over? Matt Sharp remembers it well. And he prefers the market we’re in now. While negative headlines have plenty of investors second-guessing their next move, Matt is still actively buying property. His approach? Stop chasing the next boom and start paying attention to the fundamentals that have always mattered. This week on Geared for Growth, I sit down with Matt Sharp, Founder of Sharp Property Buyers, to talk about where he’s finding opportunities after the Budget and how investors can make smarter decisions in a more uncertain market. We cover everything from the $450,000–$800,000 price bracket and the Victorian markets Matt is watching, to a surprisingly practical way to improve rental income without taking on an expensive renovation. And for investors who already have a portfolio, Matt explains why your next purchase shouldn't be a decision made in isolation. It's about understanding what you own, where you're exposed and what your next property needs to do for you. In this conversation, you’ll hear: Why affordable markets with strong fundamentals deserve a closer look. What Matt prioritises when choosing an investment property for long-term growth. How adding a bedroom for a few thousand dollars could improve rental returns. Why villas and smaller complexes may offer opportunities for cash-flow-conscious investors. How to think about diversification and liquidity when investing larger sums. Why Matt believes a quieter market can be a better time to buy than a booming one The market doesn't need to be booming for a good investment opportunity to exist. But it does pay to know what you're looking for. Listen to the latest episode of Geared for Growth and hear how Matt is approaching the market. I invite you to listen to it HERE. And while you’re at it, if you like it, it would be great if you can share and review it. Means the world to me when I see shares of my podcast. And reviews? Well they mean everything. Thanks!
