The Property Couch
Australia’s top property podcast for everyday investors who want real results, not hype.
Originally shaped by long-time hosts Ben Kingsley and Bryce Holdaway, The Property Couch has evolved into a new chapter led by Ben alongside the expanded Couch Crew. The foundations remain the same: practical frameworks, clear thinking, and real stories that help Australians make smarter decisions.
Backed by data, banter, and proudly anti-spruiker since 2015!

546 | The Frankenstein Portfolio That Lost $159K—And How to Avoid It
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In Ep 546, Bryce is joined by returning guest Dave Robertson—Head of Property Wealth Planning at Empower Wealth—to dive deep into one of the scariest (and most common) traps in property investing:
The Frankenstein Portfolio.
These portfolios are stitched together from forums, free seminars, and flashy Finfluencer advice…
but lack one crucial ingredient: a plan.
👉 If you missed our intro to the concept, check out Ep 543: What Is a Frankenstein Portfolio?
In this follow-up episode, we’re going one step further and revealing how to fix it — with 3 real-life investor case studies.
