In the media

The thinking, tested in public since 2021.

Rasti Vaibhav is asked for independent comment on property decisions by Australia's finance and property press. Every appearance on this page links to the original, so you can read what was said rather than what we say about it.

Journalists and producers: the media kit, headshots and the topics Rasti speaks to are further down the page.

What the press keeps writing about

Three stories, told by other people.

Press coverage is only useful as proof if a reader can see the pattern. Across five years the same three stories recur, and each one is checkable against the original article.

Story one

The founder who did it first

Fifteen properties in ten years, then 18 homes, bought with his own money before he bought for anyone else.

The portfolio today: 22 properties, and the method behind them.

Story two

Clients the press chose to profile

Two client families whose portfolios were written up by news.com.au. Both stories are told in full, with the numbers, on our results pages.

Read Shailesh and Sweta and Raphael and Kate on the results pages.

Story three

The method, not the market call

Risk, buffers, sequencing and discipline. The press asks Rasti what to check, not what to buy.

The frameworks behind the quotes: how we work and the sequencing guide.

Short bio (50 words)

Rasti Vaibhav is the founder of Get RARE Properties, an independent strategic buyer's agency licensed in NSW, VIC and QLD. A CFA charterholder with more than nine years in institutional investing at Westpac and AMP Capital, he owns 22 properties himself and is the author of The Property Wealth Blueprint.

Longer bio (120 words)

Rasti Vaibhav founded Get RARE Properties in 2019 after more than nine years managing institutional portfolios at Westpac and AMP Capital, within a corporate career that began in 1999. He is a CFA charterholder, a licensed buyer's agent, and the author of The Property Wealth Blueprint, now in its second edition. He has been investing in property personally for more than fifteen years and owns 22 properties. The firm has guided more than 550 client families and bought more than $300 million of property for them, 70 to 90 per cent of it off-market. Rasti writes and speaks about sequencing, buffers and the order of decisions rather than suburb tips, and he does not give lending, tax or super advice. He is based in Sydney, with a second office in Melbourne, and buys for clients Australia-wide.

Topics Rasti speaks to

Buy, wait or sell in a falling market

What has changed, what has not, and the four questions that decide it for one household.

Sequencing and buffers

Why portfolios fail on order and cash, not on suburb choice.

The 2026 Budget and investment property

What the measures that commence and apply from 2027-28 change for the order of decisions. General mechanics only; the tax answer belongs to the reader's accountant.

Rentvesting

When living in one city and investing in another works, and the trade-offs people miss.

Commercial property for residential investors

What a good small industrial asset looks like and what to avoid. Business real property in super, use not zoning.

Buyer's agents, explained

What the licence covers, how fees work, and the nine questions to ask any buyer's agent, including us.

What Rasti will not do on air: name a suburb to buy, call a price, or answer a lending, tax or super question for a named person. He will explain how a mechanism works and send the reader to their own adviser for the number.
