The HECS 20% discount has the whole community buzzing, and we’ve been getting so many DMs asking whether you need to wait to lodge your tax return because of it.

We’ve got all the tea on what you need to do, and where the government’s actually at with rolling it out. Then things get very spicy when a community memeber drops into our DMs with the ultimate workplace dilemma: she accidentally found her colleague’s payslip... and he’s making 25% more for the same role. What would you actually do? Do you go to your boss, pretend you never saw it, or start job hunting with a vengeance?

With special guest: Jai Hobbs… in conversation with Bill Kable Covid 19 is just one more hurdle for our young people coming out of school. They already have to face up to serious competition to progress in a chosen career. If they can get through University they face a HECS debt and what about the housing market. Our guest today Jai Hobbs decided to do something practical to help the young people get on top of all that. With his wife Marlies, Jai has written a manual called FLY which stands for financially literate youth. This is what he is striving for. Unfortunately financial literacy is not taught at school and surveys have shown that the level of financial literacy in our youth is appallingly low. So first of all we ask Jai what does he mean by the term financial literacy, what are the essentials? Jai tells us that financial literacy is a skill and like other skills it can be learned. It can be learned from a very young age when kids of say 9 or 10 can become good money managers and then they retain that skill for the rest of their lives. Podcast (mp3)

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil Tarrant sits down with Eva Loisance from Finni Mortgages and Gizem Ergel, a savvy investor, to discuss the importance of strategic planning and the growing role of property in achieving long-term financial independence. Gizem, a migrant investor from Turkey, shares her journey from Istanbul to Sydney, and how she began building a property portfolio after settling in Australia in 2015, highlighting the unique perspectives migrants and women bring to real estate investment. Her first purchase was a duplex in the Shire in 2019, made after navigating the challenges of Sydney's competitive market. With a cautious but strategic approach, she and her husband expanded their portfolio into regional Queensland and Melbourne. The conversation also covers financial strategies like refinancing and changes to borrowing conditions, including new assessments of HECS debts. Gizem's journey reflects the broader migrant experience, showcasing how strategic property investment can pave the way to financial independence and early freedom through long-term planning.

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman dive into what lies ahead in the property market as the federal election approaches. Liam and Phil discuss Australia's current political landscape, the upcoming federal election on 3 May, and the federal budget which has disappointed many in the property sector due to its lack of substantial initiatives and its potential impact on the market. Despite the government's target to build 1.2 million homes by 2029, progress remains behind schedule, and the budget's policies, such as the controversial 20 per cent cut on HECS debt, have sparked significant debate. The show also delves into the broader economic context, examining rising interest rates, inflation, and the Reserve Bank's cautious stance, all of which further complicate the landscape for property investors.
