    The tax rules changed: Josh Goldsmith on structuring property before you buy

    Josh Goldsmith is a tax and legal adviser, and this is the conversation to have before you buy your next property rather than after.Henry Single and Damien Healey go through what has actually changed, why the old default answers no longer hold, and the structuring decisions that are very hard to undo once the contract is signed.In this episode: why a salary earner can't do what a business owner can, and the integrity rule Josh calls the anti-BS rule. A top tax bracket that came in back in 2008 and still hasn't moved. Why loading up on the family home is easy for a tax adviser to say and harder to pay for. The couple who flipped their own home and ended up on the ATO's radar. What happens to your cost base if the market falls before a valuation date. Whether the ATO can argue with a valuer. The 375,000 businesses that closed and why a tax debt behaves like a 15% loan. How debts used to get wiped over the phone, and why the answer now is almost always no. A client stopped at the airport. Why the family home has to be in your own name. Why company money isn't your money. Taking debt off your serviceability so you can keep buying. Why nobody will give you a day count for your main residence. And the one thing Josh says to sort out before you go looking.A note: Josh is the tax and legal expert here, not us. Henry and Damien are buyers agents. This is general information about how the rules work, not tax, legal or financial advice for your situation.Pivot to Profit - the numbers behind the headlines.

    Max Harris joins Henry to explain where the Australian economy is heading, using numbers rather than headlines.

    Max Harris joins Henry to explain where the Australian economy is heading, using numbers rather than headlines. We cover what the RBA can actually do with the one lever it has, how big the national debt is and the number underneath it that matters more, and the tax that takes a bit more from you every year without anyone announcing it. Then we get into property: what’s left of negative gearing when a bank assesses your loan, why investors choose a 40-year term on purpose, and what a borrower who could get $4 million in 2022 is looking at now. Max Harris on The Pivotal Moment with Henry Single.

    Harry Favetti: Your Equity Is Not Borrowing Power

    Harry Favetti is Associate Director at Azura Financial, an MPA Top 100 broker, and Henry's own broker of more than ten years. He explains what the banks are really testing when you apply: the 3% assessment buffer that has them stress-testing you at around 9%, why a pre-approval can shrink before you ever use it, what cross-collateralisation does to you the day you sell, and the biggest misunderstanding in property finance — that Lenders Mortgage Insurance protects the borrower. It doesn't. It protects the bank. Hosted by Henry Single and Damien Healey of Pivot Property Buyers. Not financial advice.

    Surviving the 2026 Budget: Negative Gearing, CGT Changes, and Your Property Strategy

    In this pivotal second episode of Pivot to Profit, Henry Single and Damian Healey break down the massive shifts following the 2026 Australian Budget. From the removal of negative gearing benefits to new capital gains tax (CGT) concessions, the landscape for property investors has changed overnight.23The hosts dive deep into how these policies affect borrowing capacity, why the sub-$1 million market remains a powerhouse, and why "time in the market" still beats "timing the market." Whether you are a novice or an experienced investor, this conversation offers a logical roadmap through the noise of fear-inducing headlines.45In this episode, we discuss:The 2026 Budget Impact: Analyzing the immediate 20–30% reduction in borrowing capacity for some investors due to the removal of negative gearing from serviceability calculations.- Strategy Recalibration: Why a lower borrowing limit doesn’t mean exiting the market—it means adjusting your target from $1.5M to $1.2M or $1M to $800k.- Market Resilience: Historical data showing that Australian property downturns since 1980 average only 14 months with a 9% price dip.- The "New Build" Loophole: Understanding how the government's push for new housing supply—and the "significant renovation" clause—could benefit savvy developers.- Corporate vs. Personal Names: Why the 2026 changes make purchasing through a company more attractive than ever to preserve borrowing capacity.- The Supply Problem: Why rising immigration and missed home-building targets suggest that underlying fundamentals will keep prices marching upward. Key Takeaways:Don't let policy changes out of your control dictate your long-term wealth goals.Negative gearing is a "nice-to-have," but cash-flow-neutral to positive properties in high-growth areas remain the core strategy.Seek professional advice from brokers, accountants, and buyer's agents to navigate new legislative structures.Subscribe for more insights into the Australian property market and upcoming interviews with industry experts!
