In this episode of The Property Nerds, hosts Arjun Paliwal, Adrian Lee, and Jack Fouracre explore the complex financial roadblocks experienced investors face and how strategic planning can unlock new avenues for growth. The hosts start the conversation by reframing tax as a sign of financial progress, not a burden, by spotlighting a standout client case in which a maxed-out investor unlocked additional borrowing capacity by moving a commercial property into a self-managed super fund (SMSF). The shift freed up debt and transformed a stalled $3 million portfolio into one capable of adding a further $2 million commercial asset. The hosts also tackle the psychological hurdles many investors face, especially the reluctance to sell assets without understanding their true after-tax position. Another scenario reveals how transitioning from a large residential base into commercial assets can better support long-term passive income goals. They further highlight the limitations of relying solely on banks, arguing that brokers and strategic advisers can restructure portfolios through tools like trusts and SMSFs to unlock opportunities that traditional lending channels overlook.

In this episode of The Money Mentor, Amy and Rhett share their financial and personal journey into property investment which began after selling their home and deciding to rent. This decision allowed them to pay off personal debts, including a significant mortgage, and invest in multiple properties.

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Phil Tarrant is joined by Costa Arvanitopoulos from Finni Mortgages to unpack Macquarie Bank's retreat from trust and company lending and the rising role of self-managed super funds (SMSFs) in property investment. They explain that Macquarie's move, driven by tighter anti-money laundering (AML) scrutiny and concerns over spruikers using trusts to dodge serviceability rules, signals a broader shift in how lenders view complex structures. While this may disrupt investors who use trusts for tax and asset protection, borrowing in personal names remains available, and other lenders are expected to fill the gap. Against this backdrop, Tarrant and Arvanitopoulos highlight SMSFs as a more mainstream and increasingly popular vehicle for property investment. Arvanitopoulos notes that SMSFs let investors use their super to buy property without impacting personal borrowing capacity, which is particularly useful for those already maxed out in their own names. He explains that SMSF lending focuses on fund contributions, rental income and, for business owners, company financials to prove serviceability. The duo also flag the limitations and tax settings around SMSFs, including no equity release, no major renovations, and higher tax rates on very large balances.

Before joining Infinity, Nathan & Leanne were comfortable but uncertain about their next steps. They had a $280K home loan, a $480K combined super balance, a $40K novated car lease, and no clear financial plan. Their budget was unstructured, and they weren't sure how to move forward or make their money work harder for them. After finding Infinity and joining the program, everything changed. With Infinity's guidance, they created a clear strategy, paid off their home and car loans completely, and built a portfolio of three investment properties (including one in their SMSF) worth over $4.18 million. They also sold off unnecessary assets like their jet ski and trailer, streamlined their finances and now live with total confidence in their plan. Today Nathan & Leanne feel empowered. They're building a legacy for their two kids and inspiring others to take control of their finances with purpose and discipline.This episode dives into:- What it's like to have a Relationship Manager by your side- How they learned to budget, save, and still enjoy life- Investing while managing a mortgage and how it's possible- Growing their investment portfolio and financial confidence- Their experience with the Infinity community and family- What's next — dream home goals, future investments, and well-earned holidays

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Liam Garman speaks with self-managed super fund (SMSF) specialist Natalia Clack, unpacking the growing appeal and complexities of SMSFs. SMSFs are gaining traction among investors seeking greater control over their retirement savings, offering broader investment choices and attractive tax advantages. Clack highlights the importance of education when navigating the intricate rules that govern these funds. Many misconceptions persist, including the belief that SMSFs are too complex or require extensive expertise, but Clack stresses that specialist guidance can make them both manageable and rewarding. With the ability to invest in property, gold, cryptocurrency, and other asset classes, SMSFs offer greater flexibility than traditional super funds. However, compliance and independent auditing remain crucial to ensure funds operate within legal boundaries and meet regulatory obligations. As the landscape evolves, illustrated by proposals such as the Division 296 tax, Clack says staying informed about legislative changes is essential.

In this episode of The Property Nerds, co-hosts Arjun Paliwal and Adrian Lee from InvestorKit and Jack Fouracre from Fouracre Financial are joined by Ronesh Hargovind from the Incentum Group to discuss how understanding equity loans and trusts can shape successful property investment strategies. Self-managed super funds (SMSFs) have become an increasingly popular vehicle for Australians looking to grow their retirement savings through property, though they come with a level of complexity that requires careful planning. Hargovind explains that SMSFs have gained traction over the past 15 years as a way to leverage tax advantages and build wealth, but managing them properly requires distinguishing between personal and fund-related expenses. He suggests starting an SMSF with a balance of $200,000 to $300,000 to cover set-up and compliance costs, noting that while smaller or larger balances are possible, they bring different considerations. One of the key benefits is favourable tax treatment, with contributions and gains taxed at low rates during accumulation and tax-free benefits during the pension phase. However, trustees must be vigilant about record keeping and compliance to avoid penalties from the Australian Taxation Office, and ongoing discussions about unrealised capital gains tax add further complexity for large funds.

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Phil Tarrant is joined by Eva Loisance from Finni Mortgages to discuss how shifting lender strategies and policies are creating opportunities for both self-employed and conventional property investors. Eva highlights that lenders are increasingly offering lower fixed and variable rates outside of the Reserve Bank of Australia's cycle to attract and retain customers, creating opportunities for borrowers to negotiate better terms. Fixed-rate mortgages, while attractive, require careful consideration, with strategic timing essential for switching between fixed and variable options. Innovations in the SMSF lending space, including 90 per cent loans without lender's mortgage insurance, reflect a competitive environment benefiting borrowers, particularly those with limited superannuation funds. Eva points out that changes in serviceability assessments, such as using rolling 12-month bonus averages and simplified borrowing criteria for self-employed individuals, have expanded access to finance. Additionally, the co-host expects the government's First Home Guarantee scheme to drive demand for properties within its price caps, raising concerns about potential price inflation and affordability challenges for future buyers.

The duo starts by highlighting the importance of strategic planning for investors rather than focusing solely on accumulation. Benjamin notes the increasing popularity of SMSFs, citing over 650,000 funds and 1.2 million trustees, and explains how they provide flexibility, leverage, and the ability to pool family resources for larger investments. For SMSF investors, Benjamin stresses that strategic asset selection, market timing, sector focus, leveraging borrowed funds, and utilising concessional tax advantages are essential for maximising long-term returns. The discussion also addresses challenges, including compliance, tax implications, and the need for informed decision-making to avoid pitfalls. Finally, the duo underscores the importance of professional guidance, advising investors to build a team of accountants, brokers, and advisers to navigate the SMSF landscape effectively and achieve retirement goals.
