Do I Qualify?

See if a property strategy fits your situation

Answer four quick questions about your position. There are no wrong answers — this just helps us understand whether an investment property could work for you, and how.

Step 1 of 5 0%

How much equity do you have in your home?

Equity is the value of your home minus what's left on the mortgage.

How much is left on your mortgage?

What is your combined household income?

Almost there — where should we send your result?

We'll show your result on screen and our team will follow up to arrange your free session. We never pass your details to any third party.

We'll contact you shortly to arrange your complimentary, obligation-free strategy session.

The essentials

What you will learn

Pay the deposit without savings

Not everyone has a $100,000 surplus to invest. We'll show you how to build a deposit from equity, savings or a combination — even if you're starting from very little.

Structure finance to clear your home loan faster

The right investment structure and loan choice can be aligned with your goal of paying off your own mortgage sooner — not just adding debt.

Select the ideal investment property

With so many options, choosing the right property matters. Whether you're after capital growth, cash flow or a balance, we'll help you pick one that fits your strategy.

Use your tax to help fund the investment

Understanding the tax obligations and entitlements that come with an investment property is a vital part of a sound strategy.

Protect your investment property

Damage or a vacancy shouldn't derail you. We'll make sure the right protections are in place so unexpected events don't become a financial burden.

Know what to do if you need help

With a network of professionals behind you, you're never alone in a decision — and can always implement the right solution with expert guidance.

Why now

The 2026 Budget makes getting the strategy right more valuable, not less

In the May 2026 Federal Budget, the Government limited negative gearing on residential property to new builds, and replaced the 50% CGT discount with cost-base indexation and a 30% minimum tax on gains. Both changes take effect from 1 July 2027.

Our approach is built around newly built investment properties — the one residential type that keeps negative gearing, and where investors can still choose the 50% CGT discount or the new indexed method when they sell. In other words, a new-build strategy holds on to most of the tax benefits of the previous regime while established property, bought from here on, gets neither. Getting the structure right today matters more than it ever has — and it's exactly what we help you do.

2026 Federal Budget · from 1 July 2027

Why new builds come out ahead

The same reform that costs established-property investors works in favour of new-build investors:

New builds Keep negative gearing · choose the 50% CGT discount or the new indexed method
Established Negative gearing removed · CGT via indexation + 30% minimum tax on gains

Based on the 2026–27 Federal Budget negative-gearing & CGT measures (budget.gov.au / ATO), applying from 1 July 2027 and subject to the legislation as passed. Grandfathering applies to property held at 7:30pm AEST 12 May 2026. General information only — not tax advice; confirm your position with a registered tax adviser.
