Trust vs. Personal Name: The Ultimate Low Deposit Showdown!

Season 2, Ep. 45

Another insightful episode, where me and Cheryl Leong discuss one of the biggest challenges in property investment: Navigating Low Deposits.

It is important to know why waiting to save for a 20% deposit might lead to missed opportunities and explore creative strategies to overcome the serviceability trap. From leveraging trusts for better serviceability to utilizing self-managed super funds (SMSFs) as a complement to property portfolios, the whole episode is packed with actionable insights.

You cannot deny the importance of strategic planning—whether it’s understanding how banks assess trust versus personal properties, nurturing a trust to maximize wealth creation, or crafting effective exit strategies to manage investments successfully. We got it all covered with practical advice on avoiding common pitfalls and prioritizing wealth creation over serviceability lock-ins, this episode is a must-listen for property investors at any stage.

  • 1. S4,E1: Will RBA Rates Fall, Hold or Rise in 2026?

    25:55||Season 4, Ep. 1
    Welcome to the new season of Help Me Buy Property Podcast! Season 4 kicks off with an episode about one of the biggest questions dominating the Australian property market right now:RBA’s next rate announcement!!! Are interest rates going up, coming down, or staying exactly where they are?This episode goes beyond headlines and hype. In this episode of the Help Me Buy Property Podcast, host Moxin Reza is joined by Ali Nanji from Mortgage Scout.With economists, banks, and media all split on forecasts, this episode cuts through the noise to explain what the RBA is actually looking at, why rate cuts on their own mean very little, and how property investors and home buyers should position themselves regardless of what happens next.The episode further breaks down how the RBA sets interest rates based on inflation, employment, GDP, and economic stability and not property prices or mortgages. Also, a 0.25% rate rise typically impacts borrowing capacity by just 2–3%, meaning small rate moves alone shouldn’t drive major property decisions.So, what’s the verdict? Tune in to learn for yourself!Highlights:00:00 – Welcome to Help Me Buy Property Podcast02:24 – Rate rise impact on property prices09:12 – Paying off loans in 15 years16:18 – RBA’s rate hike strategy20:23 – Investor decisions & Rate hike23:22 – Final verdict on RBA rate announcement About the Guest:Ali Nanji is principal broker at Mortgage Scout, specialising in residential and investment lending.

  • 38. S3,Ep38: Different Asset Classes: Rethinking Wealth Outside Property Part 2

    23:36||Season 3, Ep. 38
    I dive into a topic most people avoid until it’s far too late: succession planning. Whether someone owns a business, has built wealth through Australian property, is watching trends shaping Australian property 2026, or is focused on protecting Australian wealth for the next generation, succession touches every part of life. It goes beyond the financial structures it hits the emotional, relational, and identity-driven layers that define intergenerational wealth and long-term legacy.What I’ve seen again and again is that founders and families delay planning not because they don’t value their business or their Australian wealth, but because the process is uncomfortable. Business owners worry about losing relevance or control. Parents feel the pressure of fairness, sibling dynamics, and whether the next generation can step up. And a lot of people simply hope things will “work themselves out.” They don’t. Instead, the fallout can be harsh unnecessary tax burdens, family disputes, rushed fire-sale exits, distressed sales of Australian property assets, and even businesses collapsing because a leader stepped away without a transition plan.In this episode, I talk openly about the emotional landmines that sit beneath wealth transfer and succession: the founder’s shadow, fairness versus equality, entitlement issues, and all the unspoken expectations that drive conflict. I share how early, structured conversations guided family meetings, values charters, and clear governance frameworks can prevent years of tension. I’ve seen families become stronger and more unified when they tackle succession early. And I’ve also witnessed families who waited too long and became cautionary examples of what happens when Australian wealth, business equity, and property assets aren’t protected with a thoughtful succession plan.Episode Highlights 00:00 Introduction to Wealth Diversification01:39 Understanding the Property Market05:32 The Importance of Succession Planning10:13 Advice for Young Entrepreneurs18:57 Building Generational Wealth📘 Grab your copy of A Millennial’s Guide to Property Investing: 👉 https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0CRF48GGR Resources 🔹 Join our FREE Facebook Group → https://www.facebook.com/groups/helpmebuyau 🔹 Connect with us on LinkedIn → https://www.linkedin.com/company/77080688
  • 37. S3, Ep37: Different Asset Classes: Rethinking Wealth Outside Property in Australia

    32:46||Season 3, Ep. 37
    In this episode, I sit down with Nilar Alom Ispahany, Founder and Principal Advisor at Zeteo Wealth Partners, to explore how Australian investors can think beyond property and build a more balanced approach to wealth.We discuss why property investing in Australia remains such a strong foundation but also why it’s no longer the only story. Together, we unpack alternative asset classes like private credit and private equity, and how they’re helping Australian business owners, high-net-worth families, and next-generation investors create lasting value, manage risk, and protect their legacies.As Australia’s economy evolves and credit markets tighten, understanding how to diversify across different asset classes has never been more important.We start with what every Australian investor knows best property. It’s trusted, tangible, and has built enormous wealth across generations. But how does it fit within a total asset management strategy?Nilar and I talk about how real assets like property and infrastructure play a role in long-term portfolios, what the outlook for the Australian property market looks like, and why it’s time to stack new “bricks” alongside property to diversify wealth and build financial resilience.If you understand mortgages and property loans, private credit might feel familiar but it’s changing the way investors generate income in Australia.Nilar breaks down private credit in simple terms and explains why it’s becoming such a powerful income engine in 2025. We compare private credit returns to property yields, explore its role in delivering consistent income streams, and look at how Zeteo clients use it to manage risk-adjusted returns while keeping portfolios stable in volatile credit conditions. Australian investors are increasingly looking for access to private equity opportunities, and the landscape is changing fast.Nilar and I discuss how private equity is evolving from being an exclusive institutional play to something more accessible to everyday investors. We explore how Australian business owners can use private equity to scale their companies, fund growth, or plan an exit strategy that aligns with long-term wealth goals.About the Guest: Nilar Alom Ispahany is the founder and family wealth advisor at Zeteo Wealth Partners, a boutique investment advisory firm dedicated to helping high-net-worth individuals and families achieve clarity and confidence in their financial future. Nilar is dedicated to helping high-net-worth families grow and preserve wealth across generations.
