11/3/2023
Join us on the She Renovates podcast as we delve into the world of property makeovers with Jo Vadillo, our sponsor and important Brains Trust member.
Jo, the professional property buyer, guides us from first-time purchasers to experienced investors, assisting you in outsourcing the brains and knowledge required to buy property.
Learn the ins and outs of the seller's advocate service, an essential but frequently overlooked step, and how to negotiate the real estate market. In addition, learn about Jo's latest work in Sydney and Brisbane.

“Seller's advocacy is, a service that we provide and we, seek out the right agent to sell your property through. And, it could be that, you're time poor, you don't want to interview agents, but you do want to know how successful they are, what their rating is, how many properties have they sold, what was their marketing expense.
We do fine tune that for our clients and we do interview like the top three to five agents in a particular area. So if you're based in Sydney, but you're selling an investment property, in Adelaide, you may not be on the ground and you don't know what to look out for we provide that service as well."

9/27/2023
Dive into a financial game-changer! Join us in this episode of She Renovates as we unravel the secret power of self-managed super funds (SMSFs) with Lina De Marco.
SMSFs, the ultimate wealth-building tool, offer complete control over your retirement investments.

The possibilities are endless! Discover how SMSFs can supercharge your financial future. Ready to seize control and amplify your wealth?

“A self managed super fund is essentially a superannuation fund which is established and managed by the members themselves. So with a self managed superfund you can invest in property, you can invest in bonds, you can invest in precious metals, you can buy gold bullion, you can have term deposits, you can have managed funds, you can get a share trading platform via Comsec or any of the banks. The opportunities increase.
The other reason is that a superfund can actually borrow money. So you are actually increasing the power of your super in terms of investing by being able to use the power of borrowing and leveraging."
