- Negative Gearing, Depreciation & Cash Flow - Using Tax Settings Without Getting Burned (with Bodie Simpson)
Negative gearing gets a lot of headlines - but how does it actually work, who benefits, and where can investors come unstuck?
In this episode of The Buy-In, Trent and Simon welcome back Bodie Simpson, Director of Accounting at Your Future Strategy, to demystify negative gearing and its close cousins: depreciation schedules, PAYG variations, and interest deductibility on new builds. They dig into strategy first (growth and cash flow), tax second - so you’re not chasing refunds at the expense of returns.
Topics Covered:
What negative gearing is (and isn’t) - and why it generally suits higher-income earners
Cash flow pitfalls, PAYG variations, and discipline vs. big tax-time cheques
New builds: claiming construction interest (and when to amend past returns)

Welcome to The Buy-In, where we unpack everything property - from strategy to lending and everything in between.
In this episode, Sevenfold Property Group’s Director of Property Strategy Trent Cripps and Director of Lending at Your Future Strategy Simon Podger tackle a common investor question: is it smarter to buy one higher-value property, or two mid-priced assets?

They also cover land-tax considerations, tenant profiles, and how time horizon and risk tolerance should shape the call.
Whether you’re early in your journey or optimising a growing portfolio, this episode helps you align asset selection with strategy - not headlines.

Diversification vs concentration: risk, yield and vacancy dynamics
Lending structure, LMI, equity access and serviceability
