On top of that, the RBA has hit investors with three back-to-back rate rises. Borrowing power has been smashed, and the rules of the property game have flipped almost overnight.In this episode we go deep on the three major changes, the 1% capital-growth "break-even" rule between new and existing property, who the relative winners and losers are (hint: SMSFs and yield-focused assets just got more attractive), and why borrowing capacity is dropping by hundreds of thousands of dollars for many investors.But here's the big message: this is noise. Your individual plan still matters most and uncertainty like this is often a golden window of opportunity for decisive buyers.Chapters00:00 - 00:38 Introduction00:38 - 02:12 The Worst Budget for Investors02:12 - 03:54 Two Weeks to Digest It03:54 - 05:59 Negative Gearing Changes Explained05:59 - 08:24 Should You Buy New?08:24 - 10:42 Grandfathering & Transition Rules10:42 - 14:12 The New CGT Indexation Method14:12 - 18:03 The 30% Minimum Tax Trap18:03 - 20:08 Why SMSFs Just Won20:08 - 23:40 Borrowing Power Gets Smashed23:40 - 26:29 The Big Shift to Yield26:29 - 28:03 Sell-Down & PPOR Strategy28:03 - 30:54 They Smashed Your Home Value30:54 - 32:26 What You Should Do Now32:26 - 34:06 Final Takeaway#PropertyInvesting #NegativeGearing #AustralianProperty #RealEstateAustralia #PropertyMarketThis video is provided by Confidence Finance Pty Ltd (ACL 488313) & Flint Trademark Pty Ltd.
