• HOW I MET MY BROKER: 134 properties before the age of 35 – a deep dive into the mindset of Sam Gordon

  In a recent episode of the How I Met My Broker podcast, hosts Liam Garman and Hung Chuy speak with property investment expert Sam Gordon about navigating Australia’s evolving property market. Gordon shares his journey from humble beginnings to managing a substantial property portfolio, highlighting how early challenges, including a negative experience with a buyer’s agent, shaped his investment approach. A key theme is the importance of strategic partnerships, with Gordon and Chuy emphasising the value of aligning with experienced advisors, including brokers and accountants, to navigate complex financial and market dynamics. The discussion also explores rentvesting, a strategy that allows investors to rent where they want to live while building income-generating property portfolios, helping them maintain lifestyle flexibility while growing wealth. Despite fluctuating market conditions, the experts stress that opportunities remain for strategic investors who research markets and adapt their strategies alongside ethical practices, strong partnerships, and continuous learning.

• THE THE PROPERTY NERDS: From $200k to millions – building a smart SMSF

  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.

• ‘Buy land – they’re not making any more’: Regional focus pays off

  In a recent episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Liam Garman speaks with investor Steve Kuper about his decade-long property journey and insights into the shifting Australian market. Since buying his first property in 2013, Kuper has focused on regional investments in areas like Bomaderry and Queanbeyan, chosen for their employment strength and infrastructure growth. His preference for positively geared properties sets him apart from investors relying on negative gearing, offering steady cash flow but fewer tax advantages. The duo then discusses the nation’s housing shortfall, noting that record migration and a lack of tradies are hindering the government’s 1.2 million home target, and argues that first home buyer incentives risk inflating prices. Guided by his father’s mantra to “buy land because they’re not making any more of it”, Kuper continues to focus on regions with solid economic fundamentals. Kuper concludes by warning against over-leveraging and urging investors to research carefully amid a volatile and supply-constrained property landscape.
