Invest…. Or Reduce Debt?

This is a question I get asked a lot. And I mean a lot. In fact, recently I was asked the same question by one of my own team members. They are in flux. Use cash and borrow to buy an investment property or just pay off the home loan and not have to worry..

Director Loans …..A Timebomb!

If you would like to listen to this blog post in audio format, please click here. I hate it when my medical clients take loans from their medical company to be given to a director. They are, in technical terms, called Div 7A loans. It is likely you have been told to use a bucket..
