ABOUT THE PODCAST
Property & Other Bad Habits is a straight-talking, slightly irreverent podcast about the real world of real estate. Hosted by Jo Vadillo — one of Australia’s first female buyer’s agents and a self-confessed property tragic — the show dives into deals, dollars, mistakes, wins, and the questionable decisions people make along the way (including Jo’s own). Equal parts educational and entertaining, this is where property chat meets honesty, humour, and a touch of chaos.
When “Expert” Advice Costs You (And How to Avoid It)
In the first episode of Property & Other Bad Habits, we share the story behind the name and unpack a Melbourne investment gone wrong, highlighting the dangers of poor advice and rushed strategy.
It’s an honest look at why long-term thinking, strong property management, and the right team are essential for smart investing.
The Open Home Manifest
Open homes can be overwhelming, so in this episode of Property & Other Bad Habits we break down exactly what to look for when inspecting a property — from layout and light to structural red flags and future risks.
If you’ve ever left an inspection unsure whether it was a smart buy or just good styling, this episode gives you the clarity and checklist you need to decide with confidence.
Ignoring the Skeletons in the Closet
In this episode of Property & Other Bad Habits, we share the wild, unpredictable (and sometimes bizarre) realities of open homes — and the serious lessons hidden beneath the chaos.
Tune in to learn how to look past the clutter and distractions so you can assess a property strategically and spot opportunity with confidence.
Property The Long Game
When life throws a curveball, whether it’s health, career uncertainty, relationship changes, or financial pressure, it can feel like your property journey has come to a complete standstill. In this episode of Property & Other Bad Habits, we unpack what to do when you can’t make a move, and how to use that in-between season to your advantage instead of losing momentum.
