What a week! Apologies for the podcast’s downtown earlier this week and thank you to those of you who wrote in to us. We had a system update and things didn’t quite work out as we wanted them to be. That aside, the 2017 Federal Budget has been released just a couple of days ago. So let’s talk about that.

There were a few proposals relating to the affordability issue and a couple more that aims at the property investors pool. But overall, this was not an overly exciting budget. It was a conservative one. Nonetheless, what impact will if have on property owners and the Australian Property Market in general. Some of the issues that Bryce and Ben discussed in today’s episode are:

• The proposed changes to depreciation deductions for plant and equipment
• Capital Gains Tax exemption for foreign and temporary tax residents
• Investors’ travel expenses claims
• The implementation of First Home Super Saver Scheme and is it a good idea
• The expanded audit on overseas investors

If you would like to understand more about the 2017 Federal Budget, please check out this link.

Following on from Part One, the second part with Brad Teal focused on Victoria’s new underquoting laws that came into effect on the 1st of May 2017. For those new to the real estate industry, underquoting as defined by the Consumer Affairs of Victoria is: Underquoting can occur when a property is advertised at a price that is less than the estimated selling price, the seller’s asking price, or at a price already rejected by the seller. You can learn more about this new regulation here.

So for this part, the three of them discussed:

• How was this new underquoting law introduced and the logic behind it?
• What changes will the new regulation impose on the real estate industry and will it be introduced to the other states?
• Traits of a good selling agent and the research that a vendor can conduct.
• The different demands on certain property types in different markets.
• What does he think about the buy-and-hold strategy?
• What does success mean to him?

Housing Affordability. APRA. Investor’s Lending. Super Property Deposit Debate.

These are headline news for the last few weeks which have been monopolising the business section of most press for some time now. So, we don’t think we can wait any longer either!

Now, what did they chat about today? You would be expecting conversation around the long-term sustainability of the Australian Property Market, an upcoming correction and who will be affected; APRA’s move on investment lending; changes on interest-only loans and how it will affect some borrowers out there; implementing Money SMARTS during these times; the relationship between migration and the economy; the Superannuation Property Deposit Debate and more.

Let us forewarn you that this Bonusisode is not as light as our usual episodes. This time, Bryce and Ben discuss some critical housing and political issues and as usual, the commentary in this show is general in nature and is an opinion comment by both of them. It does not take into account the particular investment objectives or financial situation of any potential listeners, and you should always consult a qualified professional advisor before making any investment decisions.

• Ep 57 | The Headwinds Are Coming – Listen here
