Julie Crockett revisits recent investor anxiety about proposed capital gains tax and negative gearing changes, advising buyer's agents to stay visible, keep marketing, and expect clients to return once there's more certainty.

She unpacks buying property via self-managed super funds (SMSFs) as a potential alternative, stressing it is highly compliant and buyer's agents must "stay in their lane" by directing clients to licensed SMSF advisers.

She notes SMSFs suit more cashflow-positive properties and limit renovations or major improvements. Tax benefits include an effective 10% CGT rate after 12 months and potentially tax-free income and gains in pension phase, provided the right strategy, finance, and fund documentation are in place.
