The Budget Just Changed the Rules for Property Investors. What It Really Means | Dr Andrew Wilson

Something happened over the last week that I've genuinely never seen in my five decades of property investing - the Federal Government reached into the pockets of every property investor in Australia and changed the rules of the game overnight. Negative gearing for new purchases, gone. The 50% capital gains tax discount, gone. Two of the most fundamental tax structures underpinning Australian property investment were dismantled in a single Budget announcement on May 12. And I want to be very clear - this is not just noise. This is a structural shift that every investor in this country needs to understand properly before making any decision about buying, holding, or selling property. Now I could just react to the headlines, but that's not what we do here. Every week on Property Insiders, I sit down with Dr Andrew Wilson, and we go behind the headlines to look at what the data is actually telling us, so you can make smarter decisions. This week, we break down exactly what these Budget tax changes mean for you as an investor, including some exemptions that are worth knowing about. We're also look at the latest home lending data from the March quarter, because buried inside those numbers is a story about investor confidence that most commentators have completely missed. And we'll cover the latest auction results from across the capital cities, where clearance rates are now being squeezed from two directions at once. -- You can also read the full article on Property Update: https://propertyupdate.com.au/propert...
