PIT 147: The Australian Government Could Flag You as HIGH RISK

Welcome to Property Investor Tales, Stories From The Front Yard, where I talk to property investors and industry experts from around Australia about the world of property investing. My name is Tabitha Bright and I’m Head of Coaching here at Positive Real Estate, where we help people build wealth through property.

In this episode, I sit down with Lila Ghani, Head of Contracts here at Positive Real Estate, to unpack the new anti-money laundering reforms and what they actually mean for Australian property buyers.

From increased ID checks and proving where your funds came from, to potentially being flagged as a “high-risk” buyer, Lila breaks down what investors can expect and why these new requirements are now becoming part of the property purchasing process.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone planning to buy property and wanting to understand the new rules before they’re caught off guard.
