The duo starts by debunking the myth of quick wealth in property investment, as most investors won’t retire on cash flow alone, emphasising the importance of equity and long-term strategic planning.

According to Lachlan and Phil, the current market conditions have reignited the market, creating a sense of urgency among investors, with Lachlan stressing that equity, rather than cash flow, is key for long-term property investment success.

The duo discusses the challenges of scaling a portfolio even on a $250,000 income due to serviceability limits, highlighting that using trust structures to bypass these limits is not as straightforward as it may seem.
