Investopoly is a twice-weekly podcast designed to help you make better financial decisions and build wealth with clarity and confidence. Hosted by Stuart (tax adviser, financial adviser, and mortgage broker) and Campbell (senior financial adviser), each episode delivers concise, practical insights grounded in real-world strategy, research, methodologies, and case studies.
You will get two episodes each week: a main episode that deep-dives into a single wealth-building topic, and a Q&A episode that answers listener questions and real scenarios. Send your questions to questions@investopoly.com.au
We also writes a weekly blog, and many podcast topics build on those ideas and frameworks. Stuart's forthcoming book, Wealth by Design, will be available in July 2026.

Eight Rules Revisited #7- Own property that everyone will always want
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Rule 7 in Investopoly was direct: only invest in investment-grade property. Eight years on, the core of that still holds, but Stuart has sharpened the method and genuinely changed his mind about one part of it.
In this episode, he explains why Wealth by Design reframes the rule from "invest in investment-grade property" to something more demanding: own property with enduring, scarce and growing demand. It's a shift from a label to a test—what makes an asset something people will always want, and keep wanting, decades from now.
Stuart is candid about the one 2018 position he's since reversed: the old line that it's "never a bad time to buy." He now believes price and cycle matter more than he once allowed, and explains why. He introduces the idea of buying for the future buyer rather than today's, choosing property whose appeal will still be scarce and sought-after when you eventually sell.
He closes with a simple forced-hold test you can run on any property this week, a quick way to pressure-test whether what you own or are about to buy truly has demand that endures.
