    The SMSF Borrowing Ban Is Now In Effect

    The SMSF borrowing ban came into effect on August 12. Australians can no longer borrow inside a self-managed super fund to purchase property. In this episode of the Positive Property Show, George Markoski and super specialist Jeff Bennett from Super Strategies go through what that means in practice and what pathways still exist for investors wanting property exposure inside their super. George also covers the broader picture: the RBA holding rates at 4.35% while every major Western central bank has already cut, inflation not returning to target until 2028, and the quiet collapse of the high-end investment property market as negative gearing changes remove the tax advantage that made $3 to $4 million properties attractive to high-income earners. The message is consistent with every episode in this current cycle: the rules have changed, the opportunity has not, and the investors who adapt are the ones who come out ahead. In this episode: Why the SMSF borrowing ban is in effect from August 12 and what can still be done to hold property inside super. Superannuation has been progressively restricted for 20 years, and George outlines why the direction of travel is unlikely to reverse. The RBA is the last major Western central bank holding rates high, and building a strategy around rapid rate relief is not a plan. The luxury negative gearing market is repricing as the tax advantage that made high-value properties attractive to top earners disappears under the new rules.

    The Biggest Lie About Australia's Housing Crisis

    The official story on Australia's housing crisis is that approvals are recovering and the pipeline is filling. In this episode of the Positive Property Show, George Markoski and Adam Albrecht go through the actual numbers to show why that narrative is misleading and why the shortage is getting worse on every meaningful measure. Approvals are running 20% below the housing accord target. Completions are tracking 27% below. A record 243,900 homes are currently under construction while annual completion rates have barely changed since 2020. The pipeline is not flowing. It is clogging. Developers are paying 1% to 1.5% per month on project finance, trades are unavailable, and projects are not starting because previous ones are not finishing. Australia is adding 236,000 new residents a year and completing 174,000 homes. That gap does not close by itself. George also addresses the fear cycle building in the media and why long-term investors who stay in the market through periods of negative sentiment have consistently come out ahead of those who wait for clarity before acting. In this episode: A building approval is not a home. The gap between what is approved and what is completed has never been wider. Developer project finance at 1 to 1.5% per month is locking new projects out before they even start. Australia needs 236,000 new homes a year and is completing 174,000. That shortfall compounds every single year. George and Adam are both currently buying, and they explain why this moment in the cycle is when that decision makes the most sense.

    Falling Demand Will Not Close Australia's Housing Shortage

    Every capital city in Australia is now in correction. Clearance rates have been below 50% nationally for eight straight weeks. Buyer confidence is at its lowest in years. George Markoski's call in this episode of the Positive Property Show is simple: this is a pause, not a crash, and the housing shortage that drove prices higher has not gone anywhere. Australia is still falling 66,600 homes short of what it needs every single year. Nearly 300,000 dwellings are sitting in the approval pipeline, but approvals are not homes. The gap between what exists on paper and what is being built in reality has never been wider. Every month demand softens is a month the shortage compounds rather than closes. In this episode: Perth just became the last capital to enter negative territory, making this the first nationwide correction across all capitals simultaneously. Approvals do not solve a housing shortage. Only completed homes do, and Australia is running well behind on both counts. The two-tier market is widening: established investor-grade property continues to soften while new builds with full tax advantages hold their ground. Information is free. Implementation is what separates investors who build wealth from those who keep watching and waiting.

    Australia Is Running Out of Homes

    Australian property is no longer moving as one market. Since the federal budget, a clear divide has formed between new builds and established investment properties, and the gap is already having real consequences for investors who have not repositioned. George Markoski goes through the two-tier split in detail, explains why rent freezes fail everywhere they are tried, and connects the dots between government housing policy and why rents have risen faster since the reforms than they did before them. Supply and demand cannot be overridden by legislation, and the next four years of housing data already suggests the problem is getting worse, not better. In this episode: Established properties popular with investors are losing appeal fast as tax advantages disappear, while owner-occupier stock is holding. Rent freezes reduce maintenance and push landlords out of the market, which is exactly the opposite of what renters need. The best opportunities right now sit where supply is tightest and new build tax advantages are fully intact. How one couple turned a decade of property inaction into $252,300 profit by finally backing a process and following it through.   About Positive Property: Positive Property has been empowering Australians to build financial freedom through strategic property investment for over 20 years.

    Is a Rental Crisis Coming?

    The rental crisis is already here. The real question is how much worse it gets. In this episode of the Positive Property Show, George Markoski makes the case that it will continue well into the 2030s, driven by a housing pipeline that keeps falling further behind, migration that keeps outpacing supply, and policy changes that are redirecting investor demand rather than creating new homes. Rent growth has accelerated every quarter since early 2025. Australia is building significantly fewer homes than the government's own target requires. And the move to restrict negative gearing to new builds is concentrating investor demand on a limited pool of stock that cannot absorb it. For renters, that means continued pressure. For investors in the right assets, it means the fundamentals are stronger than ever. In this episode: Why the $11,300 rent increase costs renters closer to $20,000 in pre-tax earnings. The policy change designed to help renters that is pushing rents even higher. How new build investors are now borrowing more than established property investors. The rental crisis has no near-term political solution, and that is not changing soon.

    Your Property Isn't Working Hard Enough

    _*]:min-w-0 gap-3 [&_>_*:last-child]:mb-0 font-claude-response"> Most Australians are still approaching wealth the old way: work harder, save more, pay cash. In this episode of the Positive Property Show, George Markoski explains why that approach almost never produces financial freedom and what actually separates those who get ahead from those who stay stuck year after year. In this episode: How the wealthy use leverage to multiply results rather than trade time for money. Why the discomfort of investing now is always smaller than the cost of not investing later. The migration reality: Australia's net overseas migration is now running at the highest per capita rate in the developed world outside Portugal, and even halving that intake would still rank among the top globally The one change taking effect mid-August that will remove one of the last remaining tools for middle-income Australians to hold tangible assets inside their super Why a chronic housing undersupply, rents at historic highs, and a rental market at breaking point is precisely the environment where a well-positioned new build portfolio does its best work.   About Positive Property: Positive Property has been empowering Australians to build financial freedom through strategic property investment for over 20 years.

    How to Give Your Kids a Head Start in Property Investing

    The property ladder is not just getting harder to climb. It is being pulled up behind the people already on it. First-home buyers are getting older, deposits now take more than a decade to save, and more young Australians need help from their families just to get a foothold. In this episode of the Positive Property Show, George Markoski and Adam Albrecht explain how parents can begin building that foundation from childhood, then use family equity and the right lending structures to help an adult child enter the property market without simply handing them everything. George also breaks down why this is becoming more urgent. Rental supply is at historic lows, construction is falling further behind demand, replacement costs continue to rise, and population growth is keeping pressure on housing. The longer families wait to put a strategy in place, the higher the first rung of the ladder becomes. In this episode: Why property education is a greater legacy than simply giving your child money. The legacy ladder: savings from birth, earned pocket money, first-job budgeting, property inspections and education before equity. How a limited family guarantee can help a child buy without cash leaving the parents' account, and the safeguards every family needs to understand. The other ways parents can help, including matched savings, a documented gift, a family loan or co-buying, while ensuring the child still has skin in the game. Why the right property, price and genuine-demand location matter more than whether you buy a house, townhouse or apartment. Positive Property member win: how a couple used equity to secure a Caboolture property that gained $165,000 in value within six months.

    Is Your Super Actually Safe? The Truth Nobody Is Telling You

    Fresh developments have put the spotlight back on the collapse of First Guardian and Shield Super, two Australian super funds that left approximately $1.2 billion in member funds at risk. Twelve thousand Australians who did what they were told, contributed to professionally managed super funds and trusted the system, are still facing the prospect of significant retirement losses. Meanwhile, the government's compensation fund holds just $170 million for the entire country, highlighting the limited protection available when failures occur at this scale. In this episode of the Positive Property Show, George Markoski and Adam Albrecht unpack the latest developments surrounding the collapse and what they mean for Australians planning for retirement. George explains why he has always believed property, held in your own name with a title you control, offers a fundamentally different level of certainty compared with relying on managed investment funds. The discussion also explores the government's proposed SMSF borrowing ban. As policymakers move to restrict Australians from using their own super to invest in residential property, the renewed attention on large managed fund failures raises important questions about whether limiting access to tangible, directly owned assets is the right direction. In this episode: The latest developments surrounding the First Guardian and Shield Super collapse and what they mean for Australian retirement savings. Why direct property ownership offers a fundamentally different level of control than managed super funds. Why the proposed SMSF borrowing ban is attracting renewed scrutiny following the super fund developments. How new tax rules have created an estimated $290,000 advantage for new build investment properties over comparable secondhand homes. Why experienced investors are repositioning into new builds before increased demand reshapes the market.
