Ep. 170 - Rate Rise RECKONING
Tue Feb 03 2026
Australia’s inflation problem is back in the spotlight — and the RBA’s next move could shape the property market for months to come.
In this episode of The Weekly Investor News, Owen Davis is joined by Nick Bendel to unpack three of the most important stories affecting property investors right now. With inflation ticking up again, all four major banks are tipping an imminent rate rise — but is it necessary, and what would it mean for investors, renters, and the broader economy?
They also dive into the rise of Build-to-Rent housing and whether institutional investment is reshaping Australia’s rental market, before exploring why more investors are looking beyond capital cities and into high-quality regional locations.
If you’re a property investor, landlord, or market watcher, this is a must-listen episode packed with insights, opinions, and expert analysis.
