    Trusts are out, companies are in – experts reveal how to sidestep the post-budget structure trap

    Too many investors hit their borrowing ceiling before they’ve built a portfolio. An accountant, broker and buyer’s agent expose the structure mistakes behind it, the tax traps the federal budget has created, and the structure tips you need before your next contract. On this episode of Built for Scale, hosts Liam Garman and Josh Crealy are joined by accountant Jeremy Iannuzzelli of Praedium Partners and broker Bill Childs of Limitless Lending Group to unpack how the budget has reshaped the way sophisticated investors structure their portfolios, and the traps many are walking into. Iannuzzelli explains why investors are now “forced” into companies, a structure he once avoided, and warns that a company is a long-term tool, not a quick way to cash out. He then breaks down the new capital gains tax treatment and what it means for the tax you pay on a sale. Childs reveals the costly mistake he made himself: buying six properties in his own name and hitting his borrowing limit early. He shares when personal names are fine, when to move into entities, and why lenders are loosening policy to win back volume.

    From 1 to 19 properties valued at $12m in less than 3 years

    Anyone can make money when property is booming, but building a portfolio that can keep performing through changing conditions takes a far more considered approach. Here is how to do it. On today’s Built for Scale podcast, Liam Garman and Josh Crealy explore what it really takes to scale a property portfolio, from understanding market cycles to choosing the right assets and structuring an investment strategy for the long term. Crealy shares how his own experience with high-risk development projects pushed him towards a strategy focused on market cycles, with investments in markets including Townsville and Darwin showing the potential of getting the timing and location right. The conversation also turns to asset selection, with Crealy establishing Melbourne as an undervalued opportunity, particularly for units offering strong rental yields and sitting below replacement cost. The pair also examine the importance of having a clear investment thesis and understanding what is driving the decision to build a portfolio, whether that is financial security, passive income, or creating a legacy.

    Is your property strategy built to last?

    Building a property portfolio is about more than finding the next hotspot, with asset selection, market cycles and hard-earned lessons all shaping what comes next. The inaugural episode of Built for Scale sees Liam Garman and Josh Crealy from LEVR Group discuss what it takes to build a property portfolio and a sustainable career in real estate. Crealy shares the investment mistakes that cost him dearly, including losses from chasing initial public offerings (IPO) and startups, and how those experiences changed his approach to building wealth. The pair explore asset selection, market cycles, and portfolio strategy, including why investors need to understand what they are buying rather than simply chasing the latest hotspot or market hype. The duo also discuss what separates sustainable property businesses from those built around marketing, and why genuine expertise, referrals, and repeat clients can matter more than noise in a tougher market.
