On The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil Tarrant is joined by Eva Loisance and Costa Arvanitopoulos from Finni Mortgages to discuss the frantic rush into self-managed super fund (SMSF) property purchases, and why investors need to separate urgency from smart decision-making.
The trio reveal how the looming borrowing ban has triggered a surge in demand, creating fierce competition, inflated asking prices, and growing pressure on brokers, lenders, and buyer’s agents to settle deals before time runs out.
The discussion also exposes the risks emerging in the market, from overpriced properties and questionable buyer’s agent recommendations to valuations falling short and deals collapsing as investors scramble to secure finance.
Tarrant, Loisance, and Arvanitopoulos explain how recent lending changes and the loss of negative gearing benefits are reshaping borrowing power, forcing investors to rethink their finance strategy, property selection, and long-term investment plans.
