In yesterday’s Q&A podcast episode, Stuart answered a wide range of listener questions about property investing, tax strategies, and long-term financial planning. He explained options for investors whose interest-only loan terms are ending, covering whether refinancing or switching to principal and interest repayments makes more sense depending on personal strategy. He also discussed the timing of paying down investment loans and different exit strategies for property investors.

Another listener sought advice on structuring future ETF investments and whether it is worthwhile to transfer an existing portfolio into a family trust. Stuart broke down the key factors to consider, including capital gains tax implications and long-term flexibility.

For those planning education funding, Stuart addressed whether education bonds are an efficient way to save for private school fees compared to a regular share portfolio, and the pros and cons of setting up one bond per child versus one combined bond.

The episode also covered the nuances of land value growth for units versus houses, and how to think about the land-to-asset ratio when assessing long-term investment prospects.

Finally, Stuart reviewed a detailed family financial plan involving superannuation consolidation, wrap platforms, education bonds, and SMSF management, offering broad principles to help guide listeners facing similar decisions.
