Episode Synopsis

Most buyers waste time focusing on the wrong things when purchasing a property — shiny kitchens, new bathrooms, trendy finishes — and completely ignore what actually drives long-term value. In this episode of the Own It Podcast, Dion breaks down the 80/20 Rule for Property Buying and explains why just 20% of a property determines 80% of its long-term performance.
You’ll learn:


What the non-negotiables are when buying property


Why location, land, asset type, and floorplan matter more than renovations


Which compromises are safe to make — and which ones can cost you hundreds of thousands


Why cosmetic features depreciate while fundamentals drive growth


How buyers get trapped chasing “perfect” properties that underperform


Why off-the-plan apartments are a classic example of focusing on the wrong 80%


This episode is essential listening for first-home buyers, upgraders, and anyone feeling stuck trying to choose between properties. If you want to buy with confidence — not emotion — this framework will change how you look at property forever.
