Arjun Paliwal | The Government Got SMSF Lending Wrong by 400% | Fat Profits Podcast Ep. 24 Part 1

from Fat Profits Podcast - Finance, Property & More

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.Timestamps 00:00 Intro – Inflation Predictions & Arjun Paliwal Joins the Podcast02:36 The SMSF Data Scandal — Government Figures 4x Higher Than Reported05:04 Why Rushed Policy Change Hurts First Home Buyers06:14 Self-Managed Super as a Path to Avoiding the Pension15:01 The Interconnected Economy — How Property Transactions Ripple Through Every Industry 41:52 Advice for the Next Generation of Investors46:21 Arjun's First Investment — $970K in Glenwood at Age 2246:39 Building Wealth as a Family — Living Together & Combining Resources 48:10 Rent-Vesting & Scaling Into Brisbane Property48:42 Final Thoughts & Sponsor SegmentWork with mortgage brokers who invest themselves and have a proven track record of helping Australians build property portfolios.
