Friday thoughts: • Investors can’t buy existing housing stock using negative gearing • There is already a shortage of new builds and tradies • 42% of mortgages over the past 12 months were investor loans • Higher construction costs mean many new builds no longer stack up financially So where does that leave property investors and mortgages? 🤔


One cannot save for a house in cash and income, because your government inflates and taxes it away. Thus we must save in assets like shares and ETFs, which also helps grow Australian businesses. This budget effectively doubles the tax on those assets, which ironically makes it even harder for us to save for the home. Impressively, you've managed to pitch a solution which purports to help young people, but instead it literally kicks the rungs out of the ladder which is required to even get onto the first rung of the housing ladder. I wish I was surprised.









@OwenRask I listen to and enjoy your podcasts, Sunday Emails are great too! What’s your thoughts on shares/etfs being brought into the CGT reduction when a lot of the talk seems to be related to property?
