## Resource

In Episode 18 of Fat Profits, Corey and Ben sit down with award-winning buyer's agent and property investor Kev Tran to discuss the current state of Australia's economy, property market and tax system. The conversation explores whether Australia is still rewarding hard work and entrepreneurship, the impact of proposed tax policies including Capital Gains Tax (CGT) and negative gearing, the future of property investing, SMSF lending, and what the next decade could look like for Australian investors. Kev also shares his journey to building one of Australia's leading buyer's agencies, why buyer's agents continue to grow in popularity, and the principles he believes every investor should understand before buying property. Whether you're a property investor, business owner, first home buyer or simply interested in Australia's economic future, this episode offers an honest discussion about the policies, challenges and opportunities shaping Australia's next decade.
