In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Liam Garman joins Simon Buckingham and Brendan Kelly of Results Mentoring to unpack their new AI investor “dating app” and bold strategies for the 2026 market shake-up.

Celebrating 20 years of guiding investors, Simon and Brendan share insights on their new Real Estate Success Community app, a free platform designed to connect and support property investors nationwide.

The innovative app utilises AI to match users with like-minded investors, fostering networking and knowledge sharing in what Simon describes as a “dating app for property investors”.

For investors accumulating assets, the advice is to act swiftly before competition intensifies, while those consolidating should consider timing sales to align with market peaks in 2026.

Alex remains optimistic about the market outlook for 2025, emphasising that there is never a bad time to buy, especially with recent rate cuts encouraging more sellers.

He also emphasises the importance of effective property management and encourages investors to proactively switch managers if the service is unsatisfactory, noting that technology can enhance transparency and communication.

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Liam Garman sits down with Jason Titus, director of Buyer’s Edge Property, to discuss how resilience, education, mentorship, and a data-driven approach help build a healthy portfolio.

The podcast begins by exploring Jason’s journey from corporate life to property investing, a story of resilience, reinvention, and strategic growth.

Originally a business development manager, Jason developed an interest in property during long hours on the road, listening to podcasts and immersing himself in the industry.

A bold move from Sydney to Melbourne with his wife to open a new office turned into a turning point when company lay-offs pushed him to pursue property investing more seriously through auctions and self-education.

As Jason’s confidence and portfolio grew, he prioritised blending data with real-world insight and building trust with agents to ensure smooth, effective transactions.

Today, he continues to grow Buyer’s Edge Property with a clear goal in mind – using property as a path to financial freedom and a better life for his family.
