Property Investing - After the Budget 06/05/2026

Property Investing - After the Budget The proposed Federal Budget changes to Negative Gearing and Capital Gains Tax have created significant debate across Australia. But what do the numbers actually say? In this special episode of The Hotspotting Podcast, Tim Graham is joined by Joey D'Agata from Gameplans to move beyond the headlines and explore the real-world impact of the proposed reforms. Using live financial modelling, Joey walks through a series of investment scenarios comparing the current rules against the proposed changes. Together, they examine how these changes may affect cash flow, borrowing capacity, capital gains tax, and long-term wealth creation. More importantly, they explore whether the proposed reforms should actually change the way investors approach property investing moving forward. Topics covered include: ✅ What has actually changed with Negative Gearing and CGT ✅ The difference between new and established property under the proposed rules ✅ How deferred tax credits work ✅ Real-world portfolio modelling examples ✅ The impact on borrowing capacity and cash flow ✅ Why long-term capital growth remains critical ✅ Can investors still achieve their wealth and passive income goals? The conclusion may surprise you. While the rules may be changing, the modelling suggests the long-term outcomes for many investors may not be dramatically different from what the headlines imply. If you're a property investor, considering your next purchase, or simply trying to understand what these proposed changes could mean for your future, this is an episode you won't want to miss. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📞 Strategy Sessions with Terry Ryder & Tim Graham Throughout June, we're offering personalised one-on-one Strategy Sessions designed to help investors understand how these proposed changes may affect their portfolio, borrowing capacity, future acquisitions, and long-term wealth plans.

Australia’s Rental Crisis Explained | Supply, Policy & What Happens Next 04/24/2026

Australia’s Rental Crisis Explained | Supply, Policy & What Happens Next With vacancy rates at record lows and rents consuming more household income than ever… is Australia’s rental crisis getting worse? In this episode of The Property Playbook, host Tim Graham is joined by Terry Ryder, Founder of Hotspotting, to unpack the real drivers behind Australia’s housing shortage — and why the situation continues to deteriorate. With national vacancy rates sitting around 1%, well below the ~3% level considered a balanced market, and more than 3,400 people arriving in Australia every day, the pressure on rental supply is intensifying — and there are no quick fixes in sight. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: • Why Australia’s rental crisis is fundamentally a supply and demand issue • How vacancy rates have remained critically low for over two decades • Why rents have risen from ~25% to over 33% of household income • The role of government policy — and why it hasn’t solved the problem • Why changing tenant laws doesn’t fix the core issue of supply • The impact of taxes, fees and red tape on new housing development • Why construction costs are approaching $1 million per home in major cities • How regulation and compliance are driving up costs and delaying supply • The risks of reducing investor incentives like negative gearing • Why mum-and-dad investors supply over 90% of rental housing • The reality that many landlords are operating at a loss despite rising rents • Why rental caps and policy interventions could make the crisis worse Key Takeaway The rental crisis isn’t new — and it isn’t improving. As Terry explains, the core issue is simple: Australia doesn’t have enough homes — and we’re not building them fast enough. Until supply increases meaningfully, vacancy rates will remain tight and rents will continue to rise. And while policy debates continue, the real risk is that well-intentioned changes may actually make the situation worse.
