The end of the old property playbook? Taxes, rates, and Sam Gordon’s latest investing strategy

The budget has landed. Investors are reacting. But do the old rules of property investing still apply, or is Australia entering a new era of wealth creation through real estate? In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Liam Garman sits down with Australian Property Scouts’ Sam Gordon to unpack whether we’re witnessing a reset of Australia’s property market in real time, and what investors need to do to stay ahead of it. Gordon breaks down which suburbs and regions are best positioned to thrive in the years ahead, and which areas risk being left behind as the market evolves. He also discusses the findings of the newly released APS Whitepaper, challenging the federal government’s prediction that rents will rise by just $2 a week. Gordon argues the impact could be far more significant, with rental increases of up to 40 per cent in some markets. You can view the whitepaper here. Despite the doom and gloom dominating headlines, Gordon says the latest tax changes are unlikely to derail sophisticated investors, estimating they will pay around 6.5 per cent more in tax under the new settings. So, are we witnessing the end of the old property playbook, or simply the start of a smarter one?
