- The most commonly missed depreciation claims and their hidden capital gains impacts
- New builds vs. existing homes: what really stacks up from a depreciation standpoint
- The real story behind rising construction costs, insurance headaches, and the government’s 1.2 million homes target
- The Insta Buyers Agent explosion—why some might be leading you astray
- Post-election policy impacts and what they mean for your next property move
Mike also gives his insider’s view as a PIPA board member and shares his predictions for the biggest property opportunities (and red flags) investors need to be aware of in the coming years.
