Ep 601 | Rules change, But the Fundamentals Don't - Chat with Lachlan Delahunty

The rules may be changing, but the fundamentals haven’t.As proposed negative gearing reforms dominate headlines, many investors are asking the same question:Should I rethink my strategy?To help answer that, Ben Kingsley welcomes Lachlan Delahunty, Founder of Follio and a property professional who has been involved in more than $2 billion worth of property acquisitions.Together, they explore what really drives long-term property performance and why some investors risk being distracted by tax outcomes rather than investment fundamentals.In this episode, you’ll learn:Why negative gearing was never the strategy — capital growth wasThe difference between commutable and non-commutable regional marketsWhy some regional locations thrive while others experience boom-bust cyclesThe investment-grade framework: Location, Land, AssetHow scarcity, agglomeration and demographic trends influence property valuesWhy guaranteed returns, social media hype and thinly traded regional markets can create significant risks for investorsAs Lachlan reminds listeners:“The rent keeps you in the market. Growth creates the wealth.”But perhaps the biggest message from this conversation is even simpler:Good property is still good property.Governments change.Policies change.Markets change.But the fundamentals that drive long-term wealth creation remain remarkably consistent.  FREE STUFF MENTIONED🎥 Property Prices After Tax Reform: Fact vs Fiction (Replay + Slide Deck)Ben’s webinar replay is now available on demand, along with the downloadable slide deck that explores:What really drives long-term property growthScarcity and land appreciationThe potential impacts of negative gearing and CGT changesWinners, losers and unintended consequences of the proposed reforms👉 Access the replay and download the slide deck: thepropertycouch.com.au/webinar📊 Negative Gearing Analysis Tool (Moorr)Compare property scenarios side-by-side and model the impact of:Negative gearingDeferred tax benefitsCash flow changesDifferent investment property scenarios👉 Explore the tool: moorr.com.au/negative-gearing-analysis-tool TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – Negative Gearing Is Not Gone: What Investors Need To Know03:48 – The Money Habits That Shaped A $2 Billion Property Career12:08 – Negative Gearing Was Never The Strategy19:19 – Regional Markets: Opportunity or Trap?23:26 – The Investment Grade Framework: Location, Land & Asset28:40 – Commutable vs Non-Commutable Regional Markets42:54 – Guaranteed Returns, Hype & Regional Risk53:16 – Why Fundamentals Still Matter58:49 – Lachlan’s Final Message To InvestorsLISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE >> MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform:  https://www.moorr.com.au/      FREE MASTERCLASS:- How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week >> FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple Again FIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube
