Good News Property Investors : Why This Terrible Budget Is Actually Your Opportunity🤔

🎥ABOUT THIS VIDEO: In this episode, Lloyd Edge gives his unfiltered reaction to the budget changes hitting Australian property investors right now. Negative gearing on the chopping block. Capital gains tax discount being cut from 50% to 33%. A Prime Minister who promised before the election — on the record — that there would be no changes to negative gearing or CGT. Then changed his position entirely halfway through his term. Lloyd breaks down exactly what these changes mean in real dollar terms for investors, why the government's claim that this helps young Australians get into the market is completely backwards, and what actually happens to rents when investors are punished out of the market — because it already happened in Australia once before, in 1985, and the government had to reverse the policy two years later because rents went through the roof. The episode also covers what investors should actually be doing right now — adding value to existing properties, focusing on cash flow over negative gearing, considering company structures, and why a good property doesn't suddenly become a bad property overnight just because the tax rules changed. The episode wraps with Deal or No Deal — three "budget buy" properties pulled from realestate.com.au: a country mansion in the Coffs Harbour region on 3,000sqm, a three-bedroom house in Redlands Bay Queensland, and a 18sqm studio in Carlton Melbourne listed as a "one bedroom" at $175,000. This episode gives you straight answers — no spin, no fluff. --- ⏱️ *TIMESTAMPS:* 0:00 – Lloyd's instant reaction: "The worst budget of my lifetime" 1:56 – What the budget actually means for strategic property investors 2:40 – Negative gearing: why the government has always been too scared to touch it 2:57 – Albanese's pre-election promise — and how he broke it 3:36 – Why young Australians are angry (and it's not the reason the government thinks) 4:21 – What happened last time Australia scrapped negative gearing (1985–1987) 4:59 – Immigration vs housing supply: the real crisis the government won't admit 5:40 – CGT discount cut from 50% to 33% — what it actually costs you in dollars 6:26 – Business owners and startups: why the CGT change hits you hardest 7:14 – 10 million renters and 1.4 million on rental assistance — who's really being helped? 8:08 – Albanese's $4.5 million holiday home and the tax he pays on it (zero) 8:47 – Auction clearance rates: from 67% down to 31% — what's happening at the coalface 9:43 – 30% of properties being withdrawn from auction every week — and what that means for buyers 10:03 – Why Lloyd's team is busier than ever — and negotiating $250K under asking price 10:45 – Has the budget scared off investors and first home buyers? 11:24 – "A good property doesn't suddenly become a bad property overnight" 12:07 – Why now is actually a window of opportunity — and how to use it 12:55 – Rents will keep rising: good news for landlords, bad news for renters 13:47 – Why new estate properties on the urban fringe keep failing investors 14:55 – Adding value is more important than ever — what to focus on right now 15:48 – How much to spend on a renovation: the 5–7% rule explained 16:46 – Using renovation equity to fund your next property purchase 19:01 – First home buyer scheme danger: 5% deposits and the negative equity trap 20:08 – How the new policy has already devalued near-new properties 21:03 – What to tell your clients: stick to strategy, stay calm, keep buying well 23:19 – Deal or No Deal begins 23:39 – Deal 1: Bombay NSW — 4 bed, 3,000sqm, $1.1M near Coffs Harbour 25:34 – Deal 2: Redlands Bay QLD — 3 bed, 506sqm, offers above $550K 27:53 – Deal 3: Carlton Melbourne — 18sqm "one bedroom" studio at $175K 29:00 – Final verdicts: all three properties assessed --- 🚨 *Get Lloyd's new book *Set for Life — available now at all major bookshops, Kmart, and Amazon:** 👉 https://amzn.to/3VXfJTp 🚨 *Get *Positively Geared — Australia's #1 best-selling property investment book:** 👉 https://amzn.to/3VXfJTp 🥇 *Book a discovery call with Aus Property Professionals:* 👉 https://www.auspropertyprofessionals.... --- ✅ *CONNECT WITH LLOYD:* Website: https://www.auspropertyprofessionals....
