In this episode of Property Investing Insights with Right Property Group, Victor and Reshmi Kumar join Phil Tarrant to unpack what “value” really means in property – and why it’s much more than just the purchase price.

The trio explores how value is shaped by finance, planning, taxation, and asset protection – and how smart investors use these pillars to design their decade ahead.

Victor explains that interest rates are only one part of the finance equation, urging investors to understand LVRs, loan structuring, and how to use debt strategically rather than fear it. Reshmi then challenges the idea that low debt equals success, instead making the case for smart leverage that fuels sustainable portfolio growth.

Planning is positioned as the strategic map for investors, helping avoid distractions and keep portfolios aligned with personal and financial goals.

On tax, Victor reframes it as an opportunity rather than a burden, urging listeners to think long-term and structure their affairs accordingly. Reshmi adds that fixating on tax minimisation can sometimes hinder wealth creation – and that a balanced, strategic approach is more powerful.

The pair also highlight the importance of asset protection and strong personal and professional relationships – often overlooked, but essential to portfolio longevity.
