In this episode, Christian and Kevin revisit the hot topic of the government's proposed inheritance tax (IHT) changes affecting pensions from 2027. Following a surge in listener interest, they clarify what's changed, who's now responsible, and what practical steps listeners must take to protect their wealth and family.Key Discussion Points:Background:The government plans to tax pensions on death, a major shift from past policy.The responsibility for reporting and paying this tax will now fall on personal representatives (executors), not financial services companies.Why This Matters:Most executors are chosen for trust, not financial knowledge.Executors are now legally liable for getting it right – mistakes could mean personal financial penalties.Practical Risks:Many people don't know where all their pensions are or which are taxable.Appointing a professional executor (like a bank) could cost families a significant portion of their inheritance, sometimes unnecessarily.Action Steps:Review your will and your choice of executors.Ensure your executor is financially savvy or has access to professional advice.Consolidate pensions where sensible for simplicity and clarity.Avoid defaulting to professional institutions as executors without understanding the costs.WealthBuilders' Support:WealthBuilders is creating two practical guides:For those making a will (how to choose an executor)For executors (what their new responsibilities entail)Guides will be available soon at wealthbuilders.co.uk/IHT and wealthbuilders.co.uk/executorFinal Advice:Awareness is key: know your assets, your will, and your executor's readiness.Take action now—don't wait until it's too late.Call to Action:Sign up for the forthcoming guides at wealthbuilders.co.uk/IHTReview your will and executor choicesShare this episode with anyone who has a pension and a familyContact WealthBuilders with questions or to book a call via the websiteResources Mentioned:Download our free guide on inheritance tax changes for pensions: wealthbuilders.co.uk/IHT Be the first to access our upcoming Guide for Executors — register your interest here: wealthbuilders.co.uk/executorCatch up on WealthTalks episode on IHT changes: How to Protect Your Pension from Inheritance Tax Changes Coming in 2027Connect with Us:Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and all major platforms.For more inspiring stories and actionable tips, subscribe to Wealth Talk and leave us a review!Next Steps On Your WealthBuilding Journey: Join the WealthBuilders Facebook CommunitySchedule a 1:1 call with one of our teamBecome a member of WealthBuildersIf you have been enjoying listening to WealthTalk - Please Leave Us A Review!If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review WealthTalk on your favourite podcast platform

In this episode of Property Investing Insights with Right Property Group, Victor and Reshmi Kumar join Phil Tarrant to unpack what “value” really means in property – and why it's much more than just the purchase price. The trio explores how value is shaped by finance, planning, taxation, and asset protection – and how smart investors use these pillars to design their decade ahead. Victor explains that interest rates are only one part of the finance equation, urging investors to understand LVRs, loan structuring, and how to use debt strategically rather than fear it. Reshmi then challenges the idea that low debt equals success, instead making the case for smart leverage that fuels sustainable portfolio growth. Planning is positioned as the strategic map for investors, helping avoid distractions and keep portfolios aligned with personal and financial goals. On tax, Victor reframes it as an opportunity rather than a burden, urging listeners to think long-term and structure their affairs accordingly. Reshmi adds that fixating on tax minimisation can sometimes hinder wealth creation – and that a balanced, strategic approach is more powerful. The pair also highlight the importance of asset protection and strong personal and professional relationships – often overlooked, but essential to portfolio longevity.

Join Kev as he explores the question of quantity -vs- quality in property investing. He talks about the quality of house, tenants, refurbs and and reveals the most important things you need to weigh up when purchasing property. KEY TAKEAWAYS You have to think about mortgage -vs- cashflow but also growth. You can get good tenants in all income brackets in all areas of society, just because someone has money and can pay more, it doesn't mean they will be a higher quality tenant. Knowing your area is essential to finding quality tenants. They will be ‘areas within areas' and one street can make all the difference. The monthly rental profit isn't the only number to focus on, you also should look at the capital growth opportunities. A lower quality area means less capital growth but you probably will have a higher cash flow as your initial outlay is less. Whether you focus on quantity or quality, the most important thing is that you just get started and don't procrastinate! BEST MOMENTS "Are you sacrificing quality for quantity?” “You need to know your area” “Your return in the North looks better in the South” “What I am always focused on is cashflow, cus cashflow is the oxygen for the business” "It doesn't matter if you go for the quality or the quantity, what matters if you go for something" VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

In this episode of Property Investing Insights with Right Property Group, Victor and Reshmi Kumar sit down with Phil Tarrant to unpack property investment strategies, highlighting the power of long-term thinking and personalised approaches. The trio unpacks various strategies suited to different investor stages, from the foundational “buy and hold” to the more advanced “build and balance” and generational investing. Victor illustrates the build and balance strategy through a real example in Dapto, where adding a granny flat and studio significantly boosts rental yield and asset value. The team stresses that true wealth in property is rarely achieved quickly, advocating instead for strategic patience and informed decision-making. As investors mature, they may graduate to generational investing, though Victor warns against entering the commercial property space prematurely without a strong equity base. The hosts also discuss the importance of aligning investment strategies with individual circumstances such as age, goals, and financial capacity. While artificial intelligence offers useful insights, Victor argues it can't replace human judgement in understanding local markets and deal-making.

The Michael Yardney Podcast | Property Investment, Success & Money
When it comes to property investing, the noise from the financial media can be deafening. But how much of what they say is really worth your attention? There are many commonly held beliefs about property investing that aren't only questionable but are also utterly false. Sadly, some investors go through their entire property journey believing them. And that's a shame. They waste precious time buying the wrong property or using faulty strategies because they listened to bad advice. So in today's show Brett Warren and I discuss the myths perpetuated by financial media, and the role of property investors in the Australian economy. Takeaways The financial media often misrepresents property investment. Investors are typically everyday people, not greedy. Property investment requires a long-term perspective. Cash flow is important, but capital growth is essential. A strategic plan is crucial for successful investing. Fear-based media can hinder investment decisions. Independent advice is valuable and often necessary. Understanding market cycles is vital for investors. Experience in property investment is irreplaceable.
