Alright listen up because the 2026 Federal Budget is giving us one of the most significant structural changes to property investing in years.

From 1 July 2027, negative gearing benefits are gonna be limited to new builds only for anything bought after Budget night.

Established homes are out. New supply is in.

So basically every investor in Australia who wants to offset their income tax with property losses now has to buy new. That's not small by any means. It's a massive pool of demand. And it's being pointed directly at new developments.

This is huge stuff for anyone in property investing.

It won’t change the fundamentals. Location, pricing, and ex*****on, all that still matters. But it’s going to change the conversation with buyers.

Here’s what I’m keeping an eye on now:
– How lenders are responding to valuations
– Which markets absorb the demand most efficiently
– How this is going to impact construction & build timelines

So yes, the rules have changed. But it’s going to push us into something that’s going to be huge for property & it’s worth understanding exactly how.

In-person is making a comeback, and it makes sense because there's only so much you can get from an online course or a PDF template. At some point you need to be in a room, asking real questions, working through real scenarios with people who are actually in the market...

We've been doing smaller versions of this with VIVA members for a while now. In July we're taking it further, a full seminar on the Gold Coast. Real content, detailed, hands-on. It's the sort of thing our members are saying they're really keen for, and I think we'll start seeing more of it. Bring on the learning!

We've got a project planned for this site in Armadale, but it's still working through the pipeline. Which means right now it's vacant.

Instead of leaving it empty, we've been listing it as a pop-up commercial space through it’s generating income while we wait, keeping the space activated AND it won’t complicate our timeline because with only short-term tenants we can move on as soon as we’re ready.

Now obviously this won't work in every situation. But this is definitely a move that puts us in a good position, and it’s one I’d do again rather than letting an asset sit idle.

What would you do with a space like this?

I came across this article recently and one part stood out: the government's housing target isn't expected to be met, but even if it was, affordability improvements would take decades to flow through.

That's a bloody long time. And it tells you the issue isn't just short-term market conditions, it's also structural. Supply isn't keeping up and it's not likely to any time soon. We're seeing longer days on market, more negotiation with buyers, and even plenty of deals falling over...

But zoom out, and the underlying pressure is still there.

This is where a lot of people get caught trying to time things perfectly. When in reality, the better questions are what are you buying, how are you structuring, and does it hold up long term. Ask those three things and you're already ahead.

There's a lot of noise in the market right now. Properties sitting longer. Deals falling over. Agents pushing harder than usual.

And it's making people hesitate, but this isn't a market to fear. It's one we need to understand. Because when things slow down, the dynamics change:
Buyers get more negotiating power
Less competition creates better entry points
And the right strategy starts to matter more than timing

The people who do well in property aren't the ones who wait for certainty, they're actually the people who are structured and confident enough to know how to move within uncertainty.

If you're trying to figure out your next step, focus less on headlines… and more on the structure behind your decision.

It’s been a while, but I thought I’d share with you what we’ve been up to…. And it’s called Maybloom.

It’s a new concept. A collection of health & wellbeing services all located in one place. A true holistic health hub.

The first one’s going up in Clyde North and I recently shot a video update for you to view.

I've put the link in the comments section.

It’s my first one and it’s a bit rough around the edges.
But I’ll get better at them – I promise.
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts.

Overlooking the glistening Black Rock waterfront, Bask presents a trio of townhomes defined by uncompromised luxury and natural beauty.

Sublimely positioned on Beach Road, here, days are replete with breathtaking bay views, and the unmistakeable scent of the sea breeze. There is an inimitable sense of calm that occurs when one lives by the sea, one that is granted wholly to residents of Bask.

With the coveted Adele Bates at the helm of interiors, these three beautifully spaced townhomes depict an amalgamation of considered floor plans, bespoke detailing and immaculate finishes.

Black Rock is renowned far and wide for its picturesque beaches, majestic cliff faces and scenic promenades. Bask’s residents are lucky enough to live within the clutches of all of this, the bay quite literally on their doorstep.

Just up the road from Bask, the shopping village presents a hub of vibrant bars, trendy cafes and plentiful food stores, alongside high-end boutiques. The pristine Black Rock Beach delivers an idyllic backdrop to all this festivity, with Half Moon Bay also just a stone’s throw away.

Next step – Contact Lachlan / Ben to arrange a private tour of the onsite display and viewing platform or alternately to request further details on Bask.

A new perspective. An inspired way of life. This could be yours.
