Ep 121: What the 2026 budget’s tax changes actually mean for property investors

The federal budget has delivered the most significant changes to property investment tax settings in a generation. Negative gearing for established property is being wound back. The capital gains tax discount is being replaced. And the spruikers are already circling with off-the-plan offers.

So what does this actually mean – and what should investors do?

In this episode, Jarrod and Jordan cut through the noise to give Wakelin’s practical read on the changes, the risks and the opportunities that aren’t getting enough attention.

  • Why current investors in established property should hold their nerve
  • The new-build incentive trap – and why the tax benefits won’t transfer to your next buyer
  • Carry-forward losses, lower leverage and the family home as overlooked opportunities
  • Why Melbourne may be less affected than the rest of the country
