Known as \"The 1% Accountant,\" he's built his reputation on challenging the status quo and creating asset protection structures that no other firm in Australia offers.\nIn this conversation, Peter shares the costly mistakes investors make by putting properties in the wrong names, why negative gearing should never be your primary strategy, and how testamentary trusts can protect generational wealth from divorce courts. He also reveals his thoughts on the ATO's upcoming changes, why Sydney's property dominance is a myth backed by 40 years of data, and his predictions for potential taxation on family homes.\nWhether you're buying your first investment property or building a multi-million dollar portfolio, Peter's insights on structures, tax minimisation and asset protection could save you more money than any property deal ever will."}
