    MAJOR WARNING: Australia's CGT & Negative Gearing Tax Changes Just Got Worse!

    Australia's property investors will face the biggest CGT and negative gearing reforms in decades! In this episode, Steve breaks down every Labor Budget proposal before May 12th. From CGT discount cuts (50% down to 30%) to negative gearing restrictions on established properties, Stephen explains exactly what these tax changes mean in dollar terms, who they impact, and how to protect your investment property portfolio now. He also unpacks why immigration, vacancy rates at record lows, and a chronic undersupply of housing mean these tax reforms are unlikely to cool the market — and may actually make things worse for renters. Whether you're a seasoned investor managing multiple properties or just starting out, this episode gives you a clear-headed framework to navigate uncertainty, review your portfolio structure, and spot real opportunities — including where smart money is quietly moving right now. 0:48 — The Housing Supply Crisis — Vacancy Rates, Immigration & 1.2M Homes Target 2:01 — Negative Gearing Restrictions Explained — Who It Actually Affects 3:52 — The CGT Discount Cut: From 50% to 30% — The Real Dollar Impact 6:11 — How to Protect Your Portfolio: Trusts, SMSFs & Purchasing Entities 7:51 — History Repeating: What Happened When Hawke & Keating Abolished Negative Gearing in 1985 9:04 — Victoria: The Contrarian Opportunity — Why Investor Lending Is Actually Rising 12:07 — Where the Real Opportunities Are Right Now — Affordable Markets & Two-Tiered Dynamics 14:29 — The Government's Muddled Housing Policy — And What Actually Needs to Change 16:11 — Final Takeaway: Be Strategic, Stay Calm, Control What You Can If you're ready to build a serious portfolio, remember to Subscribe!

    Best Melbourne Suburbs to Invest in 2026 (Under $800K Budget)

    In this episode of My Next Property, Steve breaks down the five Melbourne suburbs he’s currently recommending to clients, the data behind each pick, and the exact reasons these pockets are set up to outperform over the next property cycle. While most investors are piling into Perth and Brisbane, Steve makes the contrarian case for Melbourne — covering vacancy rates, yields, owner-occupier concentration, hold periods, school zones. He also calls out the Melbourne suburbs to avoid (including Rockbank and parts of the north), the three biggest mistakes investors are making in Melbourne right now, and why Melbourne is a more compelling value play than Perth or Brisbane at this point in the cycle. If you’re a value-focused investor looking for strong land-to-asset ratios, tightly held owner-occupier markets, and capital growth potential at the $800K mark, this is the Melbourne playbook. 0:33 Pick #1: Kilsyth – the land-to-asset ratio play 36km east of CBD 3:00 Pick #2: Moorabbin – the owner-occupier forever-home market 5:02 Pick #3: Noble Park – the gentrifying sleeper in Melbourne’s southeast 7:05 Pick #4: Seabrook – the tightly held southwest pocket near Point Cook 9:20 Pick #5: Berwick – premium schools, top socio score & price headroom 11:14 Melbourne suburbs to AVOID – Rockbank & the house & land trap 11:56 3 biggest mistakes investors are making in Melbourne right now 13:47 Melbourne vs Brisbane vs Perth – why Melbourne wins at this point in the cycle 16:18 The investor this strategy suits – holding long, extracting equity If you're ready to build a serious portfolio, remember to Subscribe!
