If you talk to a lot of investors, as co-hosts Phil Tarrant and Scott O'Neill do, you'll hear them often say they're not building portfolios so much for their own benefit as that of the next generation — their kids. Joined by Rethink Investing's Michael McIntosh, Phil and Scott delve into the topic of leveraging your existing assets to create a fair and equitable succession plan for your next of kin. Michael, who specialises in helping rural families invest in commercial real estate, explains the unique position that many Australian farmers occupy when it comes to equity. The land they sit on is valuable but not very liquid. In considering how to pass on their assets to their family, it can become complicated when everything is tied up in a single entity, and they have some children who want to continue in the family business and some who don't. The trio also look at how diversifying a portfolio can bring stability to assets such as farms that are often at the mercy of elements out of human control.

Unlocking property ownership may be challenging for couples with a partner with visa restrictions, but according to this mortgage expert, there are several doors to help them secure the financing they need.

Determined to continue expanding his portfolio with his partner, Kithmini unpacks the limitations they encountered due to temporary visa limitations, including strict borrowing requirements and limited access to mainstream lenders. Finally, Eva delves into the diverse range of alternative financing options they explored and the process of creating a customised strategy that suited Kithmini and his partner's unique situation.

In this episode of the Smart Property Investment Show, Phil Tarrant sits down with Arjun Paliwal, director and head of research at InvestorKit, following the firm's win in the category of Buyer's Agent of the Year at the 2023 REB Awards. The duo discuss the myopia of current conversations around house prices and why the recovery of the market rests less on interest rates than you might think. Arjun explains why you can already see a national turnaround from the downward trajectory of mid-2022. He credits the complex combination of a number of factors for kicking off a return of buyers, including: undersupply in properties for rent, rate rises mostly in the rear view, policy changes, population uptick and the perception of prices still being depressed. Of course, the pair discuss why it's also imperative to look at the micro-trends in any market you're investing in and why for better or worse, the national trajectory may have little impact in your corner of the country.
