Helping people create a life of freedom, choice and abundance has always been our passion.  That's why when people come to us for help, we do our best to find the best property for each one. Naturally, however, something that sounds ‘too good to be true' (even though it is) is typically met with disbelief, and we tend to get asked this question a lot: “If you say you come across so many amazing deals, why don't you just buy them for yourselves?” And the answer is actually quite simple. In this episode, we answer this recurring question and share our insights on why property investing is not a zero-sum game. We unpack why we don't buy “all the great properties” and dive into the factor of scarcity versus abundance, while tackling other common questions people ask. We also cover the problem with having a scarcity mindset… Why capital and debt are both required to buy plenty of properties… The importance of operating your business with integrity… And lots more!

Why is it that most people avoid Capital Gains Tax (CGT) like the plague? Well, it's really all because of perspective. Capital Gains Tax is a concept people tend to have a lot of fear around because they want to avoid tax altogether when in fact, it's actually just a concept of business. If you sell a property you have to pay tax. Today, we dive deep into the topic of CGT from an angle that most people wouldn't take, that is, the belief that it shouldn't scare you to think about at all! We share how you can think about it strategically and how the benefits of your strategy actually outweigh the cons. We also tackle where CGT is and isn't applicable… What Capital Gains Tax really is… The benefits of holding property for 5 years versus selling it right away… And heaps more!
