Capital gains tax on property in Australia now comes with a mandatory 30% minimum rate, replacing the old 50% discount with inflation-adjusted indexation. And for investors on a $150,000 salary? Your borrowing capacity just took a $350,000 hit.But here's what the headlines won't tell you: this budget doesn't kill Australian real estate investment, it reshapes it. Smart investors are already pivoting to units, infill developments, and the "accidental landlord" strategy that the budget accidentally made MORE powerful. Reece and Lachlan expose exactly where the opportunities are hiding, which markets are about to get smashed, and why the property market in Australia is about to split into two very different worlds, one for those who adapt, and one for those who don't.If you're a first-home buyer in Australia, a seasoned investor, or sitting on an existing portfolio, wondering what to do next, this is the most important 40 minutes you'll spend this year.In this episode, we’ll cover:✅ Why Labor's budget could slash your borrowing capacity by $200K-$700K✅ The END of negative gearing on established properties, what it really means✅ How the new 30% minimum capital gains tax rate targets retirees and self-funded investors00:00 The 3 Budget Changes That Hit Property Investors Hardest02:20 Grandfathering Rules Explained: Is Your Existing Property Safe?05:16 Who Are the Real Losers?
