    564 | From FOMO to COMO: What Compromise Gets You Into the Property Market?

    FOMO is out. COMO is in. 🎯 For years, Aussie property headlines were all about fear of missing out: buyers rushing into the market at any cost. But today’s reality is very different. With affordability ceilings, tighter borrowing limits, and scarce supply, the real challenge is learning how to compromise… or miss out. In our latest episode, we revisit one of the pillars of knowledge: The Buyer’s Decision Quadrant, price, location, land size, dwelling quality, and explore the one question EVERY property investor needs to answer:  Which lever are you willing to compromise on? We’ll share eight creative strategies that Aussies are using right now, and you’ll hear Tim’s inspiring story of leaving Sydney and setting himself up to save $100K in a single year.

    TPC Gold | Capital Gains Tax: Commercial vs Residential Property

    In today’s bonus episode, we’re answering a question that’s on the minds of many property investors with business interests: How does Capital Gains Tax (CGT) work for commercial property, and how does it compare to residential? Mark has done what many business owners dream of: buying a commercial property to house his business.  But while commercial property can be an excellent wealth-building tool (especially when you're both the landlord and the tenant!), there are some important tax differences to note.
