In The News
“Indian immigrant with 62 properties plans to buy more despite tax changes.”

The headline wanted you angry.
But I can't be mad at him.
You have seen the photo and read the caption. What it leaves out is how he got there — by reading the same numbers I read every week, and acting on them while everyone else argued.
So no, I can't be mad at him. He did the work. Here is the work.
Australia is short somewhere between 150,000 and 380,000 homes over the next five years. New dwelling production is forecast to fall another 11% in 2026. Approvals are running about 30% below the national target.
The rental vacancy rate is 1%. A balanced market sits at 2.5% to 3.5%. Below 2.5%, rents rise. At 1%, there is nothing left to rent.
None of that gets fixed by a tax change.
The media frames this as a reason to wait. I read it as a setup. Fewer buyers in the room means a cleaner entry for the ones who stay in.
I am not buying the fear. I am buying the fundamentals.

One roof. Five incomes.
Most of us start the same way. You buy a house, rent it to one family, and hope nothing goes wrong. One lease. One income. One thing standing between you and a vacant month.
A rooming house gives you more room to breathe. Five self-contained studios under one roof, each on its own agreement. When one room turns over, the other four keep paying — you are never leaning on a single tenant to carry the whole property.
That steadiness is the real story, more than the headline yield. And the people who need these homes — singles, students, workers, older Australians — are exactly who a tight market leaves behind. You house them, and you are paid fairly for doing it.
Done well, with the right location and the right management, a rooming house can be the quiet engine that lifts your whole portfolio. If that is a conversation worth having, I am here for it.
