The Government Just Killed Killed Your Retirement Strategy (SMSF Property Ban) | Property Expert
SMSF property borrowing rules are changing, and 10 August 2026 could be the final deadline for Australians wanting to buy residential property inside super using an SMSF loan. In this episode, Michael breaks down the exact roadmap Pinnacle is using with clients to get SMSF property purchases done before the deadline without rushing into the wrong asset. He explains what is actually changing, why exchange matters more than settlement, why lender risk may become the real deadline, and the six phases investors need to follow, from deciding whether an SMSF property strategy suits them, to setting up the structure, locking in finance, building the right property brief and exchanging before the window closes. If you have money in super and have been thinking about using your SMSF to buy property, this episode gives you a clear framework for avoiding costly mistakes, poor asset selection, weak cash flow, and long-term regret. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Chapters: 1:21 — What Is Actually Changing — Borrowing vs Owning Explained 3:44 — The Six-Phase Roadmap — Work Backwards From Exchange 4:02 — Phase 1 & 2 — Decide If SMSF Property Fits, Then Build The Team 5:20 — Phase 3 & 4 — Set Up The SMSF And Lock In Pre-Approval 6:20 — Phase 5 — Build The Right Property Brief Before You Buy 7:11 — Phase 6 — Exchange Before 10 August, Settle After 10:39 — SMSF Rules That Trip People Up — Related Parties, Personal Use & Renovations 11:36 — The Bottom Line — Move Fast, But Don’t Buy The Wrong Asset –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Get in touch today: https://linktr.ee/pinnaclebuyersagents Watch more episodes: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLurnyIhu_VwV2KSGhiFNFhDjux2d0MWVc #PBA #PropertyBanter #MichaelLežaja #BorrowingCapacity #PropertyInvesting #BuyersAgent #RealEstateAustralia #WealthBuilding #EquityGrowth #InvestSmart Disclaimer: The information provided in this content is general in nature and should not be considered as personal financial advice.

Brisbane Property is Correcting Right Now: Move Before the Market
Brisbane property market correction is already happening on the ground, but most buyers are still waiting for the data to catch up. In this episode, Michael is joined by Sasa Peci breaking down falling buyer confidence, rising stock levels, investor hesitation, and why the next six months could become a major buying window. Sasa shares what he is seeing across Logan and wider Brisbane, from buyers moving back to Melbourne, investors pulling back, rents likely rising, and quality owner-occupier stock still getting strong results even while the broader market slows.

10 BIGGEST Property Mistakes Costing You $$$
Australian property investors are making the same portfolio mistakes over and over again, and many of them only realise when it becomes expensive to fix. In this episode of Property Banter, Michael is joined by Josh from Zapiio to unpack the top 10 most common mistakes they see after modelling over 10,000 Australian investor portfolios, from unrealistic expectations and poor cash flow planning to buying in the wrong structure and holding underperforming assets for too long. They break down why knowing your numbers matters, how the wrong mortgage broker or accountant can limit your borrowing capacity, when to sell a dud property, why property managers are more important than most investors think, and why going into commercial property too early can backfire.
