    CGT, negative gearing, SMSF – everything on the chopping block in the upcoming budget

    With the federal budget days away, Australian property investors are on edge, watching for potential shifts to taxes, interest rates, and housing policy that could reshape the cycle. On Property Buzz, hosts Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman cut through the noise ahead of budget week and break down what it all means for investors. Tarrant flags a cautious mood in the market, with all eyes turning to Canberra as critical policy decisions draw near, while Garman ties current pressure to inflation, rising rates, and labour demand, with ongoing geopolitical tensions only adding to the uncertainty. The pair dig into rising inflation expectations, housing supply constraints, and the government's response through deposit schemes and heated tax debates. Despite widespread talk of investors heading for the exit, stable listings and lending data tell a different story: most are holding firm. The duo wraps with a sharp warning on policy risk, SME impacts, and the dangers of unregulated advice, urging investors to stay sharp heading into the budget.

    Market uncertainty? Just go back to the basics

    With policy uncertainty mounting, the property market is on edge. Could looming tax changes reshape the investment landscape, or will investors return to basics with fixer-uppers and disciplined acquisition strategies? On the Property Buzz podcast, Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman cut through the chatter around potential changes to capital gains tax and negative gearing, and what it could mean for investors, home owners, and broader market confidence. They unpack why, despite the headlines, property prices are still rising, as home owners hold onto their properties for longer, resulting in tighter listings. Garman and Tarrant then return to fundamentals. With ongoing uncertainty, is it time to get back to the basics of property investing: flipping, renovations, cosmetic upgrades, and granny flats, supported by disciplined spending to drive growth? They wrap up by taking aim at risky property advice circulating online from so-called "experts" and some of the common mistakes investors continue to make.

    Behind the headlines – inside the buyer's agent industry

    With tighter scrutiny on the property market, traditional buyer's agent strategies could be turned upside down. Will the sector keep booming, or is a brutal consolidation now underway? On this week's episode of Property Buzz, Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman unpack the inaugural Australian Buyers Agent Awards, a landmark event that brought together nearly 500 of the nation's top buyer's agents and set a new benchmark for credibility, structure, and accountability. The hosts also dig into the growing consolidation wave, with smaller agencies struggling to survive and many now being absorbed into larger, corporatised networks, shifting the sector nationwide. And finally, the big question: should buyer's agents be required to have real property investment experience before advising clients? In an increasingly complex market, credibility may no longer be optional – it could be the difference between trust and risk.

    Is Australia pushing property investors too far? Experts warn of fallout

    From investor confidence erosion to a class war between landlords and tenants, Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman break down all the news coming out of Australia's property market. In this episode of Property Buzz, Tarrant and Garman examine the forces reshaping the market – from investor fatigue in Victoria to the broader economic risks tied to housing affordability. The pair highlight growing concern among investors, particularly in Victoria, where tightening compliance and policy settings are dampening confidence. Tarrant pushes back against what he sees as a "class war" narrative between tenants and landlords, arguing the two are fundamentally linked and that this framing risks distorting policy decisions. The co-host also introduces the idea of a "property investment clock", arguing that cumulative changes – tax, compliance, and rising costs – are steadily eroding the viability of investing, saying that if conditions worsen, the market could face an investor exodus, reducing rental stock and intensifying Australia's housing shortage.

    Tax grabs, rogue agents, and TikTok misinformation: The threats facing every Australian property investor right now

    Capital gains discounts and negative gearing under attack. Trust account theft from dodgy agents off the charts. TikTok stars attacking property investors. Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman break it all down and share critical data on how investors can continue to grow their portfolios. On this week's Property Buzz live, Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman cut through the noise on what's making headlines in property: tax reform, dodgy agents, boom suburbs, and common financial misinformation. The federal budget is looming, and with it the very real prospect of the capital gains tax discount dropping from 50 per cent to 33 per cent and negative gearing being capped at two properties. Phil and Liam unpack what that means for investors, and why the full picture is still far from clear. They also dig into the FAST 50 report, highlighting why investors across Australia are tipping regional Victoria and Queensland as boom locations, before turning to the industry's darker side: trust account fraud, agent misconduct, and the quiet danger of incentive kicker schemes that leave vendors thousands of dollars worse off. Finally, the pair take aim at a viral TikTok video claiming corporate investors are deliberately engineering Australia's housing crisis, and deliver a timely reminder that in the age of financial influencers, separating fact from noise isn't optional. It's essential.

    Buyer's agents in trouble, economic pressure, and a looming property supply crunch: The experts speak

    Fuel costs rising, the economy wobbling, buyer's agents under scrutiny, and negative gearing sparking debate. There's a lot shaking the market. In the latest episode of Property Buzz, Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman dive into the issues shaping Australia's property market right now, from dodgy financial advice to a teetering building industry. They examine the growing scrutiny on buyer's agents, highlighting cases where unqualified advice crosses into financial guidance. Phil and Liam stress that proper expertise isn't optional, it's increasingly under the regulator's microscope. The discussion also turns to housing supply, sparked by comments from Jim Penman suggesting negative gearing should be scrapped to encourage more builds. Phil and Liam argue that cutting investor incentives while construction is slowing could worsen affordability rather than improve it.
