Some property investors like to go in with an aggressive acquisition strategy, while for others, patience is a virtue. On this episode, co-hosts Paul Glossop and Phil Tarrant take a deep dive into what pragmatic property investing looks like for investors who like time to measure their decisions and gravitate to a slow and steady approach. To illustrate the strategy, the duo delve into a case study of a couple who have amassed an impressive portfolio over years of investing. Their story is a testament to the fact that successful property investment doesn’t always require hyper-aggressive activity. Instead, it often involves making consistent, well-considered choices over time, adapting to life’s changes, and planning for contingencies.

Deciding how to use a dwelling over the new year period and beyond may have tax implications down the road. In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Grace Ormsby speaks with Australian Taxation Office assistant commissioner Robert Thomson to shed some light on the tax obligations that property owners need to know about to ensure their investment strategy is sound. The holidays are a time to relax and unwind, but for property investors, figuring out how to use that time productively may lead some to consider leveraging their assets on the short-term market. According to Mr Thomson, investors should ensure they understand the difference between a holiday home and a rental property from a tax perspective when calculating the benefit of making that move. The duo also discuss how the government agency is using data matching to ensure that investors – and all Australians – are getting their returns right, and share helpful resources, such as the ATO’s investor toolkit, to help out at tax time.
