## Resource

Interest Rate Rise! 0.25% Borrowing change… what does this mean for us? What happens when the Reserve Bank keeps raising interest rates before it even knows if the last rise worked? General manager, mortgage broker and financial planner, Max Phelps, joins Todd to break down the RBA's latest rate rise and why the data lag between policy decisions and real world impact means we could already be in overcorrection territory. They unpack how borrowing power has quietly collapsed over the past few years, what that means for Sydney's property market, and why savvy investors are shifting their focus towards high yield, affordable segments where competition is thinning and opportunity is quietly building. If you're trying to figure out whether now is still a smart time to buy and where this episode gives you the framework to think it through clearly. 🍕🏠 We want to hear your investor story!
