  1. Number 1: The Tax Strategies Smart Investors Are Using Post-Budget | Property Experts

    Negative gearing is often framed as a tax break for the wealthy. Accountant Nathan Hood points to ATO data suggesting the opposite: around 70% of negative gearing claims come from people with a single property, and two-thirds of those earn under $80,000 a year.Access PropStac 👉: https://follio.com.au/propstac-waitlist?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode_100 Get In Touch 👉: https://follio.com.au/contact-us?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode_100Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty bring accountant Nathan Hood back to the podcast to work through what the budget changes actually mean for how you structure and hold property. Nathan explains who the changes hurt most, why the days of simple property investing are over, and why getting the right advice now matters more than it used to.They cover the property versus shares debate and why property has always been a debt game, where the real opportunities sit after the changes, across the main residence exemption, company structures and self-managed super, and why capital gains indexation replacing the 50% discount makes flipping property far less attractive. Nathan also explains why many investors will need a fresh valuation sooner rather than later, how a higher valuation can save tens of thousands in tax, and why the old buy-and-move-in strategy has given way to a retain-and-subdivide approach in blue chip suburbs.This is general information, not personal, tax or financial advice, and reflects the guest's and hosts' views. Everyone's situation is different, so speak to a qualified professional about yours.What we cover: ✅ Why the ATO data suggests negative gearing mostly benefits single-property owners ✅ Who the budget changes actually hurt most ✅ Property versus shares, the debt game, and how margin calls really work ✅ Where the opportunities are: main residence, company structures and super ✅ The new deductible versus non-deductible debt strategy ✅ Company and trust structures after the budget, and who they suit ✅ Why CGT indexation replacing the 50% discount makes flipping far less viable ✅ Why you may need a property valuation now, and how it saves tax ✅ The unintended SMSF shift the changes created ✅ The retain-and-subdivide strategy replacing the old approachTimestamps: 00:00 Intro: returning guest Nathan Hood 04:14 The negative gearing myth: who really claims it 07:14 Property versus shares: the debt game 10:53 Margin calls and why property debt works differently 12:26 Where the opportunities are: main residence, company, super 17:14 The new debt strategy: deductible versus non-deductible 20:08 Company and trust structures after the budget 23:52 CGT indexation versus the 50% discount: why flipping is dead 26:07 Why you need a valuation now, and how to get it right 31:30 SMSF and the retain-and-subdivide strategyFollow Nathan Hood:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathanhoodperth/Business: https://carbongroup.com.au/ About The Follio Property Podcast Each week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

  5. Number 5: Most Investors With Multiple Properties Are Making This One Debt Mistake

Our advice was the opposite: sell.Review your Portfolio on PropStac 👉: https://follio.com.au/propstac-waitlist/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode_96Speak to a Qualified Property Advisor 👉: https://follio.com.au/contact-us/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode_96 In this property investment strategy session, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty walk through two real client portfolios and the exact moves they would make. From slashing a dangerous debt to income ratio to turning a cash flow drain into a self-funded asset, this episode shows how sophisticated investors reposition for long-term capital growth. Lachlan breaks down the numbers behind two very different investors: a six-property portfolio bleeding cash on regional assets, and a young Sydney couple trying to upgrade their family home. He explains how to read a debt to income ratio, when negative gearing stops making sense, and why he would pull equity out of Brisbane and Adelaide blue-chip assets to reposition into the Melbourne property market. If you are weighing capital growth against cash flow, this is the framework to make the call. What you'll learn: ✅ Why a 3% cash buffer and a 5.8x debt to income ratio is a danger zone, and how to fix it✅ When to divest regional properties and which blue-chip assets to keep✅ How a Melbourne unit complex delivered a 6.5% yield and a $600k equity uplift on day one✅ The case for selling everything to upgrade a Sydney family home, and when to hold instead✅ How to push your portfolio harder with a bigger cash buffer and higher cash flow Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: a strategy episode for experienced investors 02:48 Scenario one: reviewing a $5.5 million portfolio 05:24 The warning signs: debt-to-income and cash buffers 08:20 Why the advice was to sell the regionals 13:34 The Melbourne unit complex: $600K equity from day one 16:39 Cash flow forecasting and retirement income 18:00 Scenario two: a young Sydney family's portfolio 19:23 Sell everything and upgrade in Sydney now 22:55 The alternative strategy if you're not upgrading 27:01 Is this portfolio enough to retire on?About The Follio Property Podcast Each week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.
