This year brought some of our most eye-opening and challenging conversations yet. In this Christmas-Eve episode, we’re pulling together the biggest insights from 2025. These aren’t highlights — they’re gold nuggets that could save you money, regret, and years of lost progress.
We revisit the truth about rentvesting, the episode that reshaped how we explain compounding growth, and the surprising risks uncovered through Title Insurance. You’ll also hear our breakdown of the Pain & Gain Report, showing why some properties boom while others stall. These lessons genuinely shifted how first home buyers should approach their decisions.
We unpack what hot markets taught us about buyer behaviour, offer strategy, and staying grounded under pressure. We also revisit powerful coaching moments from our Campfire sessions. These real conversations helped buyers get unstuck and apply the process with clarity.
Whether you’re planning to buy in early 2026 or trying to make sense of the market, this episode distils what truly matters. You’ll learn how to think long-term, reduce risk, and choose assets with confidence. If it saves you even one misstep, every conversation this year has been worth it.
