In Episode 23 of the Money Side Up Podcast, we’re diving deep into one of the most misunderstood yet powerful tools available to Australian property investors, depreciation.

Jarrad Brown, Senior Financial Planner for Australian expats in Singapore, is joined by co-host Will Cant, Senior Adviser with Ally Wealth Management in NSW. Together, they break down the latest from the RBA, insights into the current crackdown on private credit and what Australian expats need to know.

Then they sit down with Tyron Hyde, CEO of Washington Brown and one of Australia’s leading experts in quantity surveying. Tyron brings decades of experience to the table, offering clear, practical insights into how depreciation works, how to maximise claims, and why every investor, at home or abroad, should understand this tax benefit.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✅ What a quantity surveyor actually does, and why investors rely on them
✅ The biggest myths about property depreciation (and which ones need busting)
✅ How depreciation schedules work and how much they can save you
✅ Whether older properties still qualify for meaningful deductions
✅ Capital works vs. plant & equipment, and what investors often get wrong
✅ Recent legislative changes affecting depreciation claims
✅ What expats need to know about claiming depreciation from overseas

Tyron also shares his personal journey, the story behind Washington Brown, and what the future looks like for the quantity surveying profession as technology reshapes the industry.
