On the How I Met My Broker podcast, hosts Hung Chuy and Liam Garman are joined by Property Strats founder Steve Ash to discuss the investment opportunities emerging after the federal budget changes and the looming self-managed super fund (SMSF) deadline. The trio discuss why Melbourne is back on investors' radar, pointing to discounted house prices, improving value and strong long-term fundamentals that could make the city one of Australia's most compelling markets over the coming years. The conversation also examines the SMSF frenzy ahead of the borrowing ban, with Chuy revealing demand has been so strong his brokerage has stopped taking on new SMSF clients, while Ash explains what investors should expect once the deadline passes. The trio then explore where investors could turn next, from commercial property and trusts to the potential emergence of a buyer's market, arguing that those with finance in place and a long-term strategy will be best positioned to capitalise on the next wave of opportunities. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/property-investment-podcast-network-48631/episodes/how-i-met-my-broker-how-to-invest-post-budget-with-steve-ash/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/property-investment-podcast-network-48631/how-i-met-my-broker-how-to-invest-post-budget-with-steve-ash.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
