Summary
In this episode of Fat Profits, Corey sits down with Arjun Paliwal, founder of InvestorKit, to unpack the SMSF data scandal that's rocked property investing, where government figures on self-managed super lending turned out to be four times higher than first reported. They dig into what that means for future policy, why self-managed super could be one of the best tools for avoiding the pension, and how young Australians can use property inside their super to build long-term wealth. Arjun also breaks down why crushing property transaction volume has ripple effects across the entire economy, not just real estate, and shares the story of his first investment property, a $970,000 purchase in Glenwood at age 22.
