The Location
Houses up 8.2% over the past year, driven by tight supply — just 0.26% of stock on market and around two months of inventory

Strong transport links into the CBD and Parramatta
Positioned within the broader Western Sydney growth corridor, offering both cashflow and long-term capital growth potential

The Property
Apartment layout designed for flexibility — generous joinery and storage suit a wide range of tenants over time, home office one year, growing family the next, which helps reduce vacancy risk
Considered architectural detailing and a quality material palette set the building above standard investor-grade stock, supporting stronger long-term tenant appeal and resale value

When it comes to property investing, the "right strategy" question matters more than ever.

Between Budget tax changes and a shifting market, here's where the five approaches we always talk about actually stand today:

1. Minimising tax
New builds keep the old rules. Negative gearing benefits are being removed from 1 July 2027 for established properties bought after 12 May 2026, with the CGT discount also being replaced by indexation.

New build → full negative gearing + CGT discount retained
Established property → tax treatment changes from mid-2027

2. Buying through an SMSF
You can still invest through your SMSF on residential property if you don't need to borrow money, so don't discount this option entirely.

Existing residential SMSF loans → grandfathered, no change
Buying residential property outright (no borrowing) → still possible, provided it complies with the fund's rules

3. Long-term wealth & legacy
Sydney and Melbourne values are down over the past year; Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth are still growing, just more slowly.

Historically, buying during a correction is when long-term investors get their best entry prices.

4. Cashflow-focused investing
Cash rate sits at 4.35%, with a hold expected at the RBA's 11 August decision and no cuts likely before 2027. Source

Rents up 5.9% over the past year, vacancy rates near record lows → yields improving even as prices cool. Source

5. Equity growth / value-add
The strongest growth right now isn't necessarily in the areas everyone assumes.
Western Sydney is leading Greater Sydney's growth, with Penrith up 9.8% annually and Richmond-Windsor, Campbelltown, St Marys and Parramatta-Merrylands close behind
Edmondson Park's growth is building on major infrastructure momentum, led by the Western Sydney Aerotropolis and its 20,000+ forecast jobs, which will drive substantial population growth through 2040 and beyond
Wollongong and the Illawarra remain a high-growth Sydney alternative, backed by infrastructure investment and tight rental supply

The bottom line: tax rules, SMSF borrowing and the market are all moving at once — so the right strategy this month may not be the one that worked two years ago, or even two months ago.

At Love Property Australia, we help you match the right property to the right strategy for right now.

There are some important updates to Self Managed Super Fund (SMSF) property investment rules that every investor needs to know.

What’s changed?

From 10 August 2026, new residential property purchases through Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangements (LRBAs) within SMSFs will be banned. This means SMSFs can no longer borrow to buy new residential properties. However, there are some key details to keep in mind:

* New residential LRBAs banned from 10 August 2026
You’ll need to have exchanged contracts before this date to secure existing rights to borrow for a residential property purchase. Existing LRBAs for residential properties and refinancing arrangements will be grandfathered.

* Commercial property borrowings unaffected
SMSFs can still use borrowing arrangements to buy commercial property without restrictions.

* Negative gearing rules don’t apply to SMSFs
Unlike individuals or trusts, SMSFs can continue to negatively gear residential properties, both new and established.

* No changes to capital gains tax discounts
SMSFs keep their current one-third CGT discount, meaning capital gains tax rates remain at 10% (accumulation phase) or 0% (pension phase) for assets held over 12 months.

These changes reshape the landscape for SMSF property investors. It’s essential to review your investment strategy now and plan accordingly.

If you’re thinking about investing through your SMSF, or want clarity on how these rules might affect your existing property portfolio, we’re here to help.

Most people don’t hesitate because they’re not interested in property. They hesitate because it feels like a really big move.

When we speak to investors, we hear the same three things come up again and again:

“It’s such a big decision, I’m worried I’ll stuff it up.”
Completely fair. Property feels high stakes when you’re doing it alone. Most people aren’t afraid of investing. They’re afraid of getting it wrong.

“I just don’t know where to start.”
Also common. The options, the timing, the finance, the strategy… it can feel like everything hits at once. The truth? You don’t need to know everything. You need a clear starting point and professionals who know what they are doing to help.

“I’m just waiting for things to settle down.”
We’ve heard this one for years. But “settled down” is rarely a thing in life. We’ve been through 9/11, the GFC, a global pandemic, interest rate uncertainty… and then someone drops a bomb. But life keeps moving and property prices keep rising.

Markets evolve. They don’t pause.

And doing nothing is also a risk. Sitting on the sidelines doesn't score a try. The concerns are real, but they're costing you money.

If you’re waiting for the perfect moment, you might be waiting for something that doesn't exist.

We can help you work through whatever is making you hit pause so that you can gain clarity and the confidence needed to take that step.

If you want to understand your position and what’s realistically possible, we’re here to talk it through. No pressure, just direction.

Here to help, whenever you need.

Following the 2026 Australian Federal Budget, residential property investing in Australia remains supported by strong fundamentals. The government’s focus continues to be on increasing housing supply and improving affordability, combined with the proposed major tax changes.

If you want just the top level highlights, here is a summary, followed by a more detailed outline below.

What Investors Need to Know

* New builds stay fully tax‑benefited — Proposed changes don’t affect existing investments or future new builds, which keep current negative gearing and capital gains tax settings.
* Government accelerating new housing supply — Targeting 1.2 million new homes, creating strong opportunities in growth corridors and supported development areas.
* Housing undersupply continues — Structural shortages underpin long‑term price resilience and rental stability.
* Rental demand remains high — Population growth and affordability pressures keep vacancy rates low and support rental growth.

*****

Here are the key benefits still in play in more detail:

1. Strong government focus on increasing housing supply (new builds opportunity)

The Budget reinforces a national push to increase housing supply, with targets of delivering around 1.2 million new homes over five years, supported by funding, infrastructure investment, and planning reforms.

Why this matters for investors:
This creates opportunities in new housing, including:
* no changes to tax for new builds
* negative gearing will remain at the current rate
* alignment with government-backed supply initiatives
* potential access to emerging development areas
* increased demand in growth corridors

2. Continued tax benefits (but more targeted, not gone)
Even though reforms reduce some advantages, property is still tax-effective compared to many asset classes of investments.

Negative gearing still exists for existing properties bought before the cutoff (grandfathered) and future new builds
Losses can still be used to offset certain property income or carried forward.

Why this matters:
Property remains one of the only mainstream assets where tax deductions can improve real cash flow, especially for leveraged investments.

3. Structural housing shortage supports long-term demand Australia continues to face a housing undersupply, particularly in major cities.

Why this matters:
* long-term price resilience
* ongoing rental demand
* supply constraints underpinning market stability

4. Rental demand remains strong
Key demand drivers remain in place:
* strong population growth and migration
* affordability pressures pushing more people into renting
* continued reliance on private investors to supply rental housing

Why this matters:
* low vacancy rates in many areas
* ongoing rental demand
* potential for rental growth in tight markets

Bottom line
Following the 2026 Budget, residential property in Australia remains an attractive long-term investment.

The key advantages centre around:
* strong population growth and housing demand
* government focus on increasing supply
* stable and unchanged tax settings for new builds
* resilient rental market fundamentals

It’s also imperative to note that these measures are still proposed and subject to legislation, further clarification is expected over coming months.

If you’d like a discuss how this impacts your situation and investing goals, whether you’re investing for growth, cash flow, or long-term wealth, I’m here to help.

Love Property Australia will happily continue to source new builds for our clients in line with our fundamental strategy and these proposed tax benefits.
