If you own a business and pay rent every month, that money is going toward someone else's asset.

But if you buy the premises through your SMSF and lease it back, the rent goes toward something you own at retirement instead.

Alan breaks down who this actually suits, and the advice you need to get first, in the my latest video.

The residential borrowing route inside super closes on the 10th of August, and a lot of people think that shuts the door on property altogether.

Commercial is still on the table, and there are ways to buy without any leverage at all. Alan and I walk through what is left and who it still works for in my latest video.

Buying property through an SMSF involves up to five professionals, and the order you bring them in changes how long the whole thing takes.

In my latest video, I go through who does what, and where the broker fits in the sequence.

The setup is the hardest part of SMSF property investing, and it's where most people quit, right before the curve flattens out.

In the full video, I map the whole thing: the five professionals, the trust structure in plain language, and the one timing assumption that turns a few weeks into three to five months.

Most people compare SMSF property to an industry fund and see the same 7% return.

So they think, why bother?

They're asking the wrong question.

It's not about the rate.

It's about what that rate is compounding on.

$200K in super vs $200K as a deposit on a $1M property.

Same growth rate. Same timeframe.

Very different outcome.

Your bank says you can't borrow any more. Your SMSF says otherwise. $200K in an industry fund at 7% and $200K as a deposit on a $1M property at 7% look the same on paper.

They are not the same outcome. I ran both scenarios over 30 years in this video.

Running out of space? Or paying for too much?
Your next move matters more than you think.

Life changes fast.
Yesterday’s home might not fit today’s needs.

Whether you’re:
- Squeezed and have outgrown where you currently live
- Paying for empty space, and thinking of downsizing
- Just dreaming, but not sure where to start

Every move is different.
Your loan should fit your life—not the other way around.

I can help us discover:
• Costs to expect
• Loans that fit
• Timing that works

If you're thinking about a change.
Let’s find your right-fit.

A few months from now… you could be holding your own house keys.

Feeling lost in the saving, the paperwork, and the endless “what ifs”?
You defs don’t have to figure it all out today. You just need to start the conversation.

Because in a few months you might be stepping into:
• Your home, not your landlord’s
• Your front door, not your parents’
• A brand‑new chapter that’s all your own

I’ll guide your every step - no waffle, no judgment.
Just clear support, a solid strategy, and solutions that fit your life, as it is right now.

It's time to turn “maybe someday” into “right now”!

11:00 - record a couple of looms to break down proposals and review loan docs
1:00 - lunch? must be nice...
3:30 - get pinged about an approval, before I could pump my fists, get pinged for a couple of MIRs
5:00 - tidy up a file lodgement, a couple of catch up calls returned from earlier, triple check to make sure the settled loans, actually settled
9:30 – trying to log off…
