• Capital gains tax in SMSF: Less than 10% (vs 50% discount in personal name)
• Two-property strategy: Diversify risk, maximize cashflow, create exit options
• Minimum entry: Can start with as little as $70-80K super balance
• Current hot markets: Regional Victoria, Regional NSW, Tasmania, select Melbourne areas
