💰📉 With the Negative Gearing Changes in the Federal Budget, many are wondering how this will impact property investors and the broader Australian Property Market, here's what we're seeing on the front line;
✅Existing Properties Less Attractive for investors
Already Investors are changing their investment strategies and existing properties have lost their desirability due to cashflow impacts. Some are adapting by looking to purchase a new property as their owner occupied residence to move in to and negatively gear their current home turned investment which was purchased prior to the new rules taking place. Others are looking at new construction properties for investment.
✅Lenders Changing Investment Lending Policy
1 Major lender has already adjusted their servicing calculator to strip out the negative gearing benefits with other lenders on standby to follow. This has created a little bit of a rush for some to get the required loan approved before any further policy changes.
✅Shrinking Borrowing Capactiy
The lending policy change drastically decreases the borrowing capacity for property investors looking to purchase an exsiting property for investment. Additional lending strategy discussions are neccessary in order to maximise borrowing capacity and get closer to the targeted purchase prices.
