    #155 - The One Asset the Budget Forgot to Tax (And Why That Changes Everything)

    Negative gearing's been gutted. Capital gains tax is changing. And everyone's telling you property's golden run is over. It's not. It's just moved. In this episode, Tom Haigh breaks down why the home you already live in just became the last fully tax-exempt growth asset in Australia — and the practical levers owner-occupiers can pull right now: trading up, trading down, renovating for equity, and debt recycling into investment. You'll also hear the high-performance mindset Tom borrows from coach Bill Nelson (the man behind Michael Phelps, Kieran Perkins and current NRL players) — and why the fundamentals driving Aussie property growth haven't moved an inch, no matter what's happening in Canberra. If you're sick of waiting for "better conditions," this is the episode that gets you moving. Key takeaways The main residence CGT exemption survived the Budget untouched — making your home Australia's last fully tax-free growth asset.Growth isn't evenly spread. It clusters in "packaged-deal" locations: close to high-paying jobs, safe, status-driven, family-friendly — not the cheapest suburb on the map.Baby boomers sitting on high-value, low-debt homes have a built-in retirement lever: downsize and bank the difference.Debt recycling — using home equity to fund investment — is set to become far more popular now the family home carries the biggest tax advantage of any asset class.Owner-occupiers have more underused options than they think: renovate and trade up, refinance for life experiences, pivot into commercial, knock down and rebuild, or subdivide the backyard.The structural forces driving long-term growth — population growth, trade shortages, restrictive planning rules, red tape, NIMBY opposition — haven't changed at all, regardless of tax policy.High performers (and high-performing investors) don't wait for ideal conditions. They control what they can control and move now.Take Action Today: If you are serious about building wealth through property, but not yet fully clear on your next move, book a complimentary clarity call with our team via the link below.

    #154 - The Little-Known Negative Gearing x SMSF Property Strategy That Could Save Business Owners Thousands - with Tax Expert Dan Velich

    Most business owners spend years building wealth — but often buy property in the wrong structure. And that mistake can be expensive. In this episode, Tom sits down with accountant Daniel Velich to unpack one of the most underutilised commercial property strategies available to Australian business owners: transferring an existing commercial asset into a self-managed super fund. They break down how the strategy works, who it may suit, the potential tax concessions available, and why getting advice before you buy can be the difference between building wealth efficiently or paying unnecessary tax, stamp duty and exposing assets to trading risk. If you’re a tradie, business owner or commercial property investor, this episode will change the way you think about ownership structures, asset protection and long-term wealth planning. Key takeaways Why buying a commercial property in the wrong name can create costly tax and stamp duty consequences later.How an SMSF can provide stronger asset protection for business owners exposed to trading risk.The strategy of selling an existing commercial property into an SMSF — and when it may make sense.How concessional stamp duty and small business CGT concessions may reduce the cost of restructuring.Why many business owners underestimate how much wealth is tied up inside their business.The importance of building a team around you — accountant, broker, lawyer and financial planner — before making major property decisions.Why the biggest cost in property investing is often not the wrong asset, but the wrong advice at the wrong time.Want to know more about the strategies discussed?

    #153 - How to Assess Commercial Property Investments: Yield, Risk, Tenants and Long-Term Value - Part 2 of Ultimate Guide to Commercial Property Investing in Australia

    Commercial property can be one of the most powerful wealth-building tools available to Australian investors and business owners. But high yield is not free money. In part two of this commercial property series, Tom explains why yield should make investors curious, not careless. You’ll learn how to assess tenant risk, vacancy risk, lease quality, asset relevance and the hidden factors that can make or break a commercial investment. Tom also unpacks one of the most compelling strategies for business owners: buying the premises your business operates from. Done properly, owner-occupier commercial property can turn rent from an expense into a long-term wealth-building mechanism. This episode is for investors who want stronger income, more control and smarter property decisions — without walking blindly into avoidable risk. Key takeaways: Why high yield in commercial property can signal opportunity, risk or both.The difference between chasing cash flow and understanding what the market is pricing in.Why vacancy risk can hurt more in commercial property than residential property.How business owners can use owner-occupier commercial property to turn rent into a wealth-building tool.The five key ways commercial investors create value: income, income quality, certainty, alternate use and physical improvement.Why every improvement to a commercial property should connect back to a commercial outcome.The critical due diligence question: “If this tenant left, who would want it next?”Take Action Today: If you are serious about building wealth through property, but not yet fully clear on your next move, book a complimentary clarity call with our team via the link below.

    #152 - Ultimate Guide to Commercial Property Investing in Australia: How Smart Investors Create Value Beyond Residential Property - Part 1

    Most investors understand how to add value to a house. Buy well, renovate, improve the presentation and hope the market rewards you. Commercial property works differently. In this episode, Tom explains how commercial property is really valued, why income drives price, and how smart investors create uplift by improving rent, lease quality, tenant demand, usability and future optionality. You’ll learn why high yield is not always a bargain, why a strong lease can be worth more than a cosmetic renovation, and how business owners can use commercial property as a powerful second engine for wealth creation. If you are a residential investor thinking about commercial, a business owner paying rent to someone else, or a wealth builder looking for stronger income and more control, this episode will help you understand the commercial property game before you make an expensive mistake. Key takeaways Why commercial property is valued more like a business than a residential home.How a small increase in net income can create a significant uplift in property value.Why yield is not free money — and what a high yield may really be telling you.The difference between improving the look of a property and improving the economics of the asset.How leases, tenant quality, vacancy risk and uncertainty affect commercial property value.

    #151 - The Market Has Changed. Here’s Why That Could Be Your Biggest Opportunity

    What separates people who build wealth from those who stay stuck? In this episode, Tom Haigh explores one of the biggest drivers of long-term success in property and life: action. While headlines, policy changes and market uncertainty continue to dominate conversations across Australia, the investors creating extraordinary outcomes are rarely the ones waiting for perfect conditions. They’re the people who keep learning, surround themselves with the right experts and recognise opportunity while others freeze. Tom shares lessons from some of the best property purchases of his career, reflects on the extraordinary mindset of the late Neil Daniher, and explains why your “why” matters more than any market cycle. This is not a technical property episode. It’s a reminder that wealth is rarely created by following the herd. And why the people who ultimately create freedom in life are usually the ones willing to move when others won’t. Key takeaways Why negative market sentiment often creates the best buying opportunitiesThe common mindset trait shared by many wealthy AustraliansHow surrounding yourself with the right people changes the opportunities you seeWhy action — not perfect timing — drives long-term wealth creationThe importance of having a strong “why” during uncertain periodsLessons property investors can learn from Neil Daniher’s purpose-driven mindsetWhy the biggest financial opportunities are often hidden in conversations and networks most people never accessVale Neil Daniher - Neil's inspirational speech Take Action Today: If you are serious about building wealth through property, but not yet fully clear on your next move, book a complimentary clarity call with our team via the link below.

    #150 - The Multi-Million Dollar Property Opportunity Most Investors Are Completely Overlooking Right Now

    For years, Australians were taught that building wealth through property meant buying investment properties, claiming negative gearing, and waiting for capital growth. But what happens when the rules change? In this episode, Tom explores why the next decade of property wealth creation may look completely different — and why some Australians could make more money from renovating their own home than from owning traditional investment properties. With construction costs exploding across Australia, replacement costs climbing rapidly, and proposed changes to investor tax concessions creating uncertainty, a new opportunity is emerging for people willing to think strategically. Tom breaks down: Why rising construction costs are reshaping the property marketThe growing gap between replacement cost and existing home valuesWhy strategic renovations may become one of the best ways to manufacture equityThe power of the principal place of residence CGT exemptionHow smart Australians are “trading up” their family home to build long-term wealthThe renovation mistakes that destroy valueWhy passive investing alone may no longer be enough for newer investors This episode is not about hype or speculation. It’s about adapting to changing conditions, understanding the rules of the game, and finding strategic ways to continue moving forward in property. If you’re a business owner, investor, or wealth builder wondering what comes next for Australian property, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

    The 2026 Federal Budget has triggered a wave of fear across the Australian property market. Negative gearing changes. Capital gains tax reforms. Investor uncertainty. But what if the biggest opportunities are being overlooked? In this episode of The Australian Property Show, Tom Haigh sits down with Andrew Beattie to unpack what the proposed Budget changes could really mean for property investors, business owners and wealth builders.

If you want to understand where smart investors may still create long-term wealth despite changing policy settings, this episode is essential listening. Key takeaways The government is attempting to improve affordability, but the proposed policies may create unintended supply-side consequencesReduced investor participation could mean less competition for high-quality assetsFewer rental properties may place upward pressure on rents and rental yieldsCommercial and industrial property may become increasingly attractive under the proposed tax changesSMSF property investing remains a major strategic opportunity for long-term wealth creationStructuring advice is becoming more important as CGT and ownership rules potentially changeInvestors who stay proactive, evidence-based and strategy-focused may benefit most from the uncertainty aheadTake Action Today: If you are serious about building wealth through property, but not yet fully clear on your next move, book a complimentary clarity call with our team via the link below.
