Download free: https://441711975.hs-sites-ap1.com/fo... 🚨 Budget 2026 just changed EVERYTHING for Australian property investors. Rents are about to surge 30%... and prices are about to explode. Negative gearing is gone. CGT is restructured. And if history repeats and the data says it will, the Australian property market is entering its most volatile period since 1985. In this episode, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty cut through the political noise with hard data and zero opinion. Drawing on $687M+ in real property transactions and two of the most powerful historical case studies in Australian real estate, the 1985 Hawke-Keating era and New Zealand's 2021 experiment, they reveal exactly who wins, who loses, and the only property investment strategy that survives Budget 2026. This isn't commentary. This is the data most property experts won't show you. The last time Australia scrapped negative gearing, rents surged 30% in capital cities within 2 years. Sydney and Brisbane prices jumped 60%. Perth hit 100%. New Zealand did the same in 2021, and rents rose 30% before the policy was reversed in 2023. The pattern is undeniable. For mum-and-dad investors relying on the old "buy, hold and hope" model, this budget is a wakeup call. The gap between sophisticated investors and passive ones just got significantly wider. The question is: which side are you on?
