In this important snippet from Episode 114 of the Propertybuyer Podcast, Rich Harvey - Buyers' Advocate , CEO & Founder at Propertybuyer and John Kalachian, Partner and co-founder of Fortis Accounting Partners break down the Federal Budget 2026 changes to negative gearing and what the new grandfathering rules could mean for Australian property investors.

✔️ Negative gearing may only apply to newly built properties
✔️ Established property losses may no longer offset salary income
✔️ Investors could face major strategy and cash flow changes
✔️ Portfolio structuring becomes more important than ever

This episode explains the practical impact of the proposed reforms and how investors may need to adapt in the changing Australian property market.
