Property Investment Podcast Network

Welcome to Pathway to Property, a podcast to help everyday Australians on their property investment journey through education, real-life stories, and firsthand investing experiences. In this episode, co-hosts Atlas Property Group director Lachlan Vidler and Luke Clifford discuss key aspects of due diligence in property investment, from both street and asset levels. At the street level, the duo emphasises the importance of understanding housing commission concentrations, infrastructure impacts, and environmental overlays. For asset-level due diligence, they discuss key considerations such as tenant relationships, cash flow, development potential, and building inspections. They also share the importance of accurate property valuations, highlighting how these factors affect investment success.

In this episode of The Property Nerds, co-hosts Arjun Paliwal, founder and CEO of InvestorKit, and Jack Fouracre, partnership manager at Fouracre Financial, explore the growing role of self-managed super funds (SMSF) in property investment in Australia. The duo discuss the increasing popularity of SMSF, which they believe is driven by investors reaching borrowing limits outside superannuation and seeking new avenues for property investment. Jack explains how SMSF borrowing differs from traditional loans, focusing on super contributions and rental income instead of personal income, which creates a separate borrowing capacity for property purchases. The co-host also shares how younger investors can benefit from going through SMSF to build their portfolio, starting with residential properties before transitioning to commercial properties. Additionally, they delve into the diversification that SMSF offers, including shares, cash, or business premises, supporting both retirement savings and business needs.

Following a CoreLogic survey revealing the gender investment gap, co-hosts Phil Tarrant and Eva Loisance from Finni Mortgages discuss the societal and cultural barriers that deter women from investing. In the latest episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil and Eva discuss the underrepresentation of women in property investment, which they link to traditional cultural gender roles and expectations. Through her experience as a mortgage broker, Eva noted that women often exhibit financial discipline and risk aversion, which can be both beneficial and limiting. She shares her journey, highlighting how self-education and resilience can empower women to enter the property market. The co-hosts emphasise the importance of education and mentorship in helping women overcome these barriers, and the need for a mindset shift for women to build confidence and take action in investing. The episode concludes with a call for more female voices in property investment, encouraging them to share their experiences and take control of their financial futures.
