Stronger together: Couples’ property investment tips
In this episode of the First Property Buyer Show, host Emilie Lauer sits down with founder and CEO of InvestorKit, Arjun Paliwal, to discuss how couples can successfully invest in their first property together.
The duo starts the episode by reflecting on Arjun’s journey, who bought his first property at 22 to build a $20 million portfolio with his wife, emphasising the need for the couple to work as a team and invest in building strong careers.
When investing as a couple, Arjun advises clear division of roles and mutual trust are essential to avoid conflict and streamline decisions, with both partners aligned on goals but focused on their respective strengths during the process.
Arjun also advises couples to have clear communication about finances with safeguards like buffers to help them manage risks and build confidence.
He suggests planning for worst-case scenarios to protect assets in the event of a relationship breakdown.
The duo also discusses investment strategy, with Arjun suggesting using data-driven tools, being aware of location, and rentvesting strategies to buy their first property.
