Realty Talk - Tenant trends revealed

What happens when the rules change after you’ve already bought the property?

In this practical follow-up to last week’s blockbuster Federal Budget deep dive, Bushy shifts from policy headlines to real-world investor decisions, unpacking what the new tax landscape could mean for the properties Australians already own, and the choices many investors may now be forced to confront.

From long-held portfolios and highly geared COVID-era purchases, to discretionary trusts, refinance pressure and the growing divide between strategic new builds and risky investor stock, Bushy maps out the new “fault lines” emerging beneath the market — using simple dollar examples and real-world scenarios to cut through the tax fog.

This isn’t a doom-and-gloom panic episode. It’s a strategic field guide for investors trying to answer one question: What should I do next?

Whether you’re considering holding, selling, restructuring, refinancing or simply reassessing your position, this episode helps you understand where you stand, what’s potentially changing, and how to avoid making emotional decisions based on headlines alone.

Bushy explains:
Why many existing investors are technically “protected” but still exposed
How the new post-2027 CGT framework could materially change after-tax outcomes
Why negative gearing grandfathering may not solve holding-cost pressure
The emerging risk of becoming a “mortgage captive”
Why some new builds may become strategically valuable, while others become marketing traps
The major sleeper issue facing discretionary trust investors
Why the right response now is not panic… but precision

If last week’s episode explained the Budget changes, this episode explains what they could mean for your portfolio, your freedom and your next move.

Get Invested: Hold, sell, value or panic?  What the Federal Budget means for your existing properties

UNPACKING THE BUDGET: The 2026 Federal Budget just changed the rules for Australian property investors, but not in the way most headlines suggest.

Note: Refer to the list of timecoded episode segments below

After a flood of listener feedback following last week’s emergency Budget preview episode, Australia’s leading property investment strategist Bushy Martin returns with a major post-Budget deep dive unpacking what the new property tax reforms actually mean for investors, homeowners, renters and the future of wealth creation in Australia.

In this special extended episode of the Get Invested podcast, Bushy cuts through the political spin, media noise and social media panic to break down the real-world implications of the 2026–27 Federal Budget, including the Government’s landmark changes to capital gains tax, negative gearing, discretionary trusts and future property investing incentives.

Importantly, Bushy explains why property investing is far from dead, but why the era of lazy, tax-led “set and forget” investing may now be over.

This is not a doom-and-gloom episode. It’s a strategic roadmap for navigating what could become one of the biggest structural shifts in Australian property investing in decades.

Bushy challenges the Government’s “intergenerational fairness” narrative, questions whether the reforms will meaningfully improve affordability or rents, and exposes the contradiction between Labor’s previous “supply-first” position and the sweeping tax changes now being introduced.

But more importantly, he explains where the opportunities are likely to emerge next.

From new-build incentives and shifting capital flows through to borrowing power, holding costs, trust structures and the emerging post-Budget investment sweet spot, this is a practical, strategic and highly actionable masterclass designed to help investors think clearly while others react emotionally.

Bushy also unpacks the broader economic and behavioural implications of the reforms, including the potential unintended consequences for supply, rents, development feasibility and investor participation.

Get Invested Special: The new post-budget property tax investor’s playbook

FEDERAL BUDGET 2026 PREVIEW: What if the biggest threat to Australian property investors isn’t the market, but Canberra rewriting the rules?

In this special Budget-week episode of the Get Invested podcast, Bushy Martin steps outside the normal Property W.E.A.L.T.H. Clock rollout to unpack the growing noise around potential Federal Budget changes to Capital Gains Tax, negative gearing, trusts and grandfathering, and what it could mean for investors, homeowners, renters and retirees alike.

With the 12 May Federal Budget looming, Bushy breaks down the difference between political headlines and practical reality, explains why grandfathering may become the “nuclear issue” for existing investors, and why the real danger isn’t necessarily reform itself, but investors continuing to rely on outdated, lazy, tax-driven property strategies.

This isn’t a technical tax lecture. It’s a calm and practical briefing designed to help Australians think strategically before the Budget lands.

In this episode, Bushy explores:
Why this Federal Budget could materially reshape the future of property investing
The growing conversation around CGT, negative gearing, trusts and entity structures
Why the “fairness” narrative may only be part of the story
How proposed changes could impact borrowing power, holding costs and long-term retirement plans
Why grandfathering protections matter so much for existing investors
The difference between strategic investing and “hit-and-hope” speculation
Why quality, scarcity, finance and holding power are becoming even more important
The likely shift toward investment-grade homes with strong owner-occupier appeal
Why experienced investors focus on strategy, structure and fundamentals — not just tax deductions
What aspiring and existing investors should prepare before Budget night
Why next week’s post-Budget breakdown episode could be one of the most important episodes of the year

Bushy also explains why property investing isn’t dead — but why the next phase of the market may heavily expose investors who relied purely on negative gearing, endless refinancing and rising markets to make poor-quality property decisions look smart.

Whether you’re an experienced investor, an aspiring buyer, a business owner using trusts, or someone simply wondering what all of this means for your future wealth and retirement plans, this episode will help you approach Budget week with far more clarity, calm and strategic perspective.

If you want Bushy to unpack the final Budget announcements in next week’s episode, or you’re concerned about how potential changes may affect your portfolio, structures or future plans, reach out directly through Bushy Martin.

With the 12 May Federal Budget looming, Bushy breaks down the difference between political headlines and practical reality, explains why grandfathering may become the &ldquo;nuclear issue&rdquo; for existing investors, and why the real danger isn&rsquo;t necessarily reform itself, but investors continuing to rely on outdated, lazy, tax-driven property strategies.
This isn&rsquo;t a technical tax lecture. It&rsquo;s a calm and practical briefing designed to help Australians think strategically before the Budget lands.
In this episode, Bushy explores:
<ul>
<li>Why this Federal Budget could materially reshape the future of property investing</li>
<li>The growing conversation around CGT, negative gearing, trusts and entity structures</li>
<li>Why the &ldquo;fairness&rdquo; narrative may only be part of the story</li>
<li>How proposed changes could impact borrowing power, holding costs and long-term retirement plans</li>
<li>Why grandfathering protections matter so much for existing investors</li>
<li>The difference between strategic investing and &ldquo;hit-and-hope&rdquo; speculation</li>
<li>Why quality, scarcity, finance and holding power are becoming even more important</li>
<li>The likely shift toward investment-grade homes with strong owner-occupier appeal</li>
<li>Why experienced investors focus on strategy, structure and fundamentals &mdash; not just tax deductions</li>
<li>What aspiring and existing investors should prepare before Budget night</li>
<li>Why next week&rsquo;s post-Budget breakdown episode could be one of the most important episodes of the year</li>
</ul>
Bushy also explains why property investing isn&rsquo;t dead &mdash; but why the next phase of the market may heavily expose investors who relied purely on negative gearing, endless refinancing and rising markets to make poor-quality property decisions look smart.
Whether you&rsquo;re an experienced investor, an aspiring buyer, a business owner using trusts, or someone simply wondering what all of this means for your future wealth and retirement plans, this episode will help you approach Budget week with far more clarity, calm and strategic perspective.
