Free guide · After the budget

Property investing just changed. For a generation.

This isn't another rate cycle. It's a seismic shift in the rules of property investing. Negative gearing. SMSF lending. Depreciation. The old playbook is being rewritten.

The opportunity hasn't disappeared. It's moved. See where.

The number that changed

Same $1m property. Two very different weeks.

Under the new rules, what you buy decides what you carry. The guide walks through the maths line by line.

−$713 /wk
Established · after tax

No negative gearing, no depreciation schedule. The full holding cost sits with you.

−$215 /wk
Brand-new · after tax

Full depreciation, deductions intact, stronger rent. The lane the rules deliberately left open.

Illustrative, top marginal tax rate. General information only — not tax or financial advice.

What the budget did

Four doors closed. One left open.

Closed
  • Negative gearing on established property
  • New mortgages inside an SMSF
  • Buying second-hand for a tax loss
  • Full borrowing power on established stock
Still open
Brand-new, cash-flow-positive property.

The one lane deliberately left open — and the entire subject of the guide. Including the vetting we apply before anything reaches a client: of hundreds of listings a week, 2–3 pass.

What's inside

Eleven pages. Every rule change covered.

Written plainly, with the numbers shown. About twenty minutes, cover to cover.

The Situation

The game that built a generation of portfolios is over. The budget ended it — here's exactly what changed, and from when.

II

The Honest Maths

Negative gearing was never the win. It was the cost of waiting for one — the numbers, side by side.

III

On Self-Managed Super

The SMSF door has closed. Why property in super was no big loss — and the three locks that always held it back.

IV

The Pivot

Buy brand-new. Buy for cash flow. Let the building pay you twice.

V

Depreciation, Used Properly

Same house price, $498 a week apart — the full weekly cost comparison, line by line.

VI

The Compounding Effect

Two or three of these, held together, and you are paying minimal tax — legally, on assets paying you rent.

VII

On Timing

Fewer buyers, less competition, a better price. The best windows never feel comfortable.

VIII

How We Find Them

80–120 properties cross the desk every week. One to five make it through — the five-part filter, in full.

A Note from Ron

29 years in the real estate trenches — and the one lesson that never changes with the cycle.
