Welcome back to Friday Fundamentals on The Property Couch.
In this episode, Shane and Luke tackle a question that’s suddenly everywhere:
Would you still buy an established property today if the negative gearing benefit is deferred?
Their answer? Yes — but it depends on your goals, your timeline, and the quality of the asset.
This conversation unpacks why negative gearing is only a moment in time, why growth still does the heavy lifting over the long term, and why chasing a tax outcome can be a dangerous way to build an investment strategy.
They also break down why established property still has a strong case, especially when land, location and asset quality are front and centre.
If you’ve been wondering whether the recent changes mean you need to completely rethink your property approach, this is a great place to start.
