Ever feel like you’re navigating the property market blindfolded?
You’re not alone.
Claire Westra, our guest on Dashdot Insider, has been there.
She went all-in on a DIY approach, thinking she could handle it solo—until she found herself frustrated with a property in Toowoomba that sat stagnant for a whole year.
Her first property investment in Brisbane brought some early success, but when the stock market crash hit, it made her rethink everything. That’s when she realised the real cost of relying on emotions and outdated market data.
Claire found Dashdot, and suddenly, everything changed.
Using predictive data and a team of experts, she stopped guessing and started investing. Her goals shifted, too—from dreaming of a forever home to focusing on building a life that gave her freedom. She’s now well on track to early retirement with a thriving portfolio.
Claire’s advice? Don’t go it alone. Get yourself a team—solid professionals who can guide you through the ups and downs. And be open to new strategies, like rent-vesting or even Airbnb.
She’s learned that with the right support, those big, scary goals start to look a whole lot more achievable.

With property prices going crazy, it’s easy to feel like you’re being left behind.
But there’s still a way in.
In the latest episode of the Dashdot Insider Podcast, we’re sitting down with Sean Simpson, Head of Property at Dashdot.
He’s looked at thousands of properties and studied every corner of the market. And what’s he buying for himself?
Units.
If you’re one of those thinking that houses are where the money’s at… it might be time to shake off those old-school biases.
See, the price gap between houses and units is the largest it’s ever been, and units are starting to outpace houses in growth in major cities.
But why?
Let Sean tell you the details in this episode.

Ever feel like no matter how hard you try, your savings just don't seem to grow?
It's not just you—it's the system.
We live in a world where money is constantly losing its value.
Think about it: money should be a store of value, something you can save and rely on for the future.
But in today's debt-based monetary system, new money is created through debt, and this inflation makes your hard-earned cash worth less over time.
We'll unravel why your money isn't holding its value, why safe investments are becoming a myth, and what you can do about it.
If you’re wondering how to get your foot on the property ladder or secure your financial future, this episode is for you. From discussing liquidity and investment strategies to highlighting the flaws in our monetary system, we've got it all covered.
Whether it's about buying your first property or figuring out how to make your money work for you in an inflationary world, this episode offers insights you can't afford to miss.

Goose is BACK! And he’s not happy.
Why?
Well, if you’ve ever felt like the financial system is rigged against you, you’re not alone. And today we’re lifting the lid on just how broken the system is, and more importantly, what you need to do.
You see, now, more than ever, it’s simply impossible to save your way to wealth.
Imagine being able to save upwards of $60K a year and the properties in today's market are still running away from you. It's a crazy game where the rules keep changing, and the real problem? We're short on houses, and the money system is all out of whack!
The way banks lend money without sufficient reserves is a ticking time bomb.
In this episode of the Dashdot Insider, Goose pulls no punches in venting his frustration at our debt-based monetary system and its impact on property investing. Join us as Goose and Emil break down how this system creates an unfair scenario where the rich get richer simply by understanding and playing the game better.
And if you want strategies on how to secure your financial future in a system that’s set up to work against you, then keep watching ‘til the end.
Remember: in a world where the money game feels like a puzzle, being savvy about your investments is key to staying ahead.

Anyone can make rent and price forecasts. But the ability to predict growth and rental increases accurately is next to impossible.
So, how do we do it?
Well, for starters, we’ve got models all powered by machine-learning algorithms.
We're talking about crunching numbers and zapping them with AI magic to predict prices 15 months down the road. We're talking confidence intervals, and predictions so accurate they put weather forecasts to shame.
And did we mention the accuracy? Our models hit the bullseye within 1%, nearly 75% of the time. We're at 85% accuracy on predicting price shifts, and a whopping 98% on foreseeing the not-so-great ones.
But we're not just about numbers and data. We're talking innovation that's turning heads and getting awards.
So join us as Julian Mougenot wraps up with all this mind-bending data and insights for Part 3 of our Dashdot Tech series.
