The Double Shot
WHO ARE WE? ”Cousins, Real Estate Investors, Educators, Podcasts and one‘s even an Author!” Cousins Alex and James Fitzgerald, hosts of The Double Shot Podcast, are under 35yr property professionals who’ve collectively transacted over $500M of real estate and are investors themselves. Each week they digest the key headlines relevant to business and investing with a lean toward the millennial perspective and a focus on how Australians can most affectively use real estate as their key investment strategy. They also both work for Custodian, a company founded by CEO and Author John Fitzgerald (Yes! they are related) – who also wrote best seller “7 Steps to Wealth”. At Custodian, we have been helping Australians from all walks of life on how to utilise their equity and savings and the power of compound growth, to secure their financial future, and repay their mortgage much faster in the process. Custodian was founded by author of best seller “7 Steps to Wealth”, to help thousands apply the strategy highlighted in the book. When it comes to Real Estate, you couldn’t pick a better channel.

- We have 3 investment properties originally set up as 80/20 ownership between my wife and myself. 80% me as I am/was the higher income earner. My wife has now retired from the workforce and is on an allocated pension. How difficult would it be to transfer ownership 100% to my name to continue to reap the tax advantages or would the legal costs outweigh the tax benefits?
- Are there still properties in the market that are positive geared to help with serviceability?
- I am wondering with the world tech changes to robotics/AI is property going to be declining in value due to mortgage fire sales? I think property in Sydney is starting to decrease in value (Taren Point prices have dropped, $100,000-200,000 in 6 weeks)
