Invest In Properties

Australia’s proposed negative gearing and CGT changes have created major fear across the property market.

But are the headlines exaggerating the reality?

Many investors are asking:
• Will property prices fall?
• Will rents rise?
• Is property still worth investing in?
• What actually changes under the new rules?

In my latest article, I break down:
✔ What the proposed reforms actually mean
✔ How negative gearing really works
✔ Why tax benefits should never be the main investment strategy
✔ Which investors may be impacted the most
✔ Why quality assets still outperform over the long term

One of the biggest mistakes investors make is confusing tax benefits with investment performance.

A property should work because it is a strong asset — not because of temporary tax bonuses.

Long-term wealth is still built through:
• buying quality properties
• managing risk
• strong locations
• cash flow discipline
• and long-term capital growth

Recent market insights suggest the Melbourne property market in 2026 is shifting from stagnation to early recovery.

We’re seeing:
• Modest price growth returning
• Rental markets tightening
• Yields improving
• Investors slowly coming back

But here’s the real question:
👉 Is this a true opportunity or just another marketing narrative?

From what I’m seeing, there is definitely opportunity…
but only if you understand what to buy, not just where.
Right now:
✔ Units are outperforming in rental growth
✔ Older, boutique apartments are standing out
✔ Melbourne still offers relative value vs other capitals
But…
There are still risks:
Oversupply in certain pockets
Holding costs increasing
Growth likely to be gradual, not explosive
👉 The key is not “buy Melbourne”
👉 The key is buy the right asset

I’ve broken this down in a short article with practical insights and examples. https://investinproperties.com.au/melbourne-property-market-2026-insights/
And if you want to go deeper, I’ve created a step-by-step investment guide to help you assess deals with clear fundamentals and risk, not hype. (See investment Guide - Shop tab )
Because at the end of the day:
The biggest risk is not the market, it’s buying the wrong property.

Melbourne property market 2026 is showing a shift from stagnation to early recovery, based on recent insights across Melbourne and Victoria.   But is this a true opportunity or just another marketing narrative?   We are seeing: Modest price growth returning (Melbourne ~4–5%, regional stronger)

There’s no shortage of property investment companies in Australia right now — and if you’ve spent any time on Facebook, you’ve probably seen plenty of them.
From buyer’s agents and educators to off-the-plan projects, developers, and even overseas groups marketing locally… it’s endless.
So instead of trying to filter it out, I mapped it.
I’ve put together a market overview showing how different companies position themselves — not to compare, but to help you understand the landscape.
Because the real question isn’t “who’s best?”
👉 It’s “what approach actually suits your strategy?”

🚨 The biggest myth in property investing?
That someone can predict your capital growth.

Every day I see ads promising:
❌ Pay off your mortgage fast
❌ Achieve financial freedom young
❌ “Set and forget” property success

Let’s be clear.

Nobody and I mean nobody can guarantee what your property will do in 5, 10 or 20 years.
Yet the sale still gets justified.
👉 “Property is long term.”
👉 “Just be patient.”
👉 “It will move eventually.”
Maybe.
But you are the one carrying the mortgage, not the salesperson.

Sydney looks bullish; the median is pushing toward ~$1.3m. Great, but remember: median ≠ every market. Bullish headlines can sell a lot of average stock.

Stay in the game, smartly:

Check rules, liveability, and risk signals

Build conviction before you buy

If you want a step-by-step, my Must-Have Investment Guide lays out the exact checks, no fluff, just practical due diligence so you can buy with evidence, not adrenaline.

Sydney has officially stepped into a new, bullish stage. Recent data puts the median dwelling value heading toward ~$1.3m, and it doesn’t look like a ceiling , more like a starting point. Naturally, investors (and a new wave of buyers) are asking: “Did I miss the boat? Is 2026–2027

I’m tired of the daily hype cycle in property. So many ads spin a story: “rates down → prices jumping → 10 suburbs about to surge → $10M in 4 years, new tax strategy and the best investment App to set you free” Sounds inspiring. It also sells stock.
And even in the rental market, where it should be simpler to just find a home within budget, it’s the same game. “3-bed with garden” turns out to be one decent bedroom, two tiny “studies,” and a “private courtyard” that’s actually common space. Photography can hide a lot.

I’m not anti-agent or anti-developer/marketer. I’m anti-bullsh*t. Before you sign anything, check the boring stuff: floor plans, room sizes, strata/body corp rules, actual land use, vacancy and supply, cash flow, and property risk.

Don’t hand your future to a slogan or a cherry-picked case study.
Buy with evidence, not adrenaline.
Buy with knowledge, not with hope that gurus and tactics will save your future.

Wishing you a sweeter year ahead.
Like property investing, life requires careful due diligence — you want the honey on the apple, not the poison. The same goes for global events: it’s better to rely on facts and truth than fall for propaganda or false promises.
Whether it’s your next investment or the news you follow, always look deeper. ✅
Choose the sweet apple, avoid the poison.

Dear Investors Community,

Over the years I’ve built up thousands of contacts, and every time I send a campaign I see the same pattern. Less than half open the email / Social post (understandable — we’re all busy and flooded with marketing), but only a tiny percentage click through.
On paper, that’s considered “okay.” But in reality, it feels like a lot of noise and very little action. It made me stop and think: maybe there’s a bigger message here.

Because the truth is, today it’s extremely hard to know who to trust in property investing. Everywhere you turn, sellers make big promises:

- $150,000 positive cash flow from one property — and with 5, you’ll earn three-quarters of a million a year.
- Financial freedom in just 7 years with the “right” money-saving structure.
- A free book revealing “hot spots,” which really just pushes you to finalise a deal.
- Tax tricks that magically fix cash flow
- Follow a “clever” group, buy anything, just build a portfolio.
- Professional pressure — “I’m a yoga teacher or kayaking expert, so follow me.” Lifestyle photos, yoga poses, kayaking shots — all designed to appeal to your emotions, not the facts.
- And many more, wrapped in brand names and marketing slogans, each saying: “Come to us if you’re a smart investor.”

It all sounds convincing — and that’s the problem. These strategies may give some people the push to buy a first property, but what then?
Will it grow in value?
Will it stay cash flow positive?
Will banks keep lending as life gets more expensive?
Or will it leave you with a huge shortfall and risk of loss?

You don’t have to believe me — or even investinproperties — as we’ve been part of this industry too.
The only real path is making better informed decisions, doing proper research, and asking the tough questions.

That’s why I wrote the Must-Have Investment Guide — not as a gimmick, but because it contains the fundamentals every investor needs to know.
Sincerely yours,

The $8M Property Portfolio Pitch: Dream or Delusion?
Buy 4 properties at $500K...
Hold 20 years...
Earn $200K a year in passive income...
We’ve all heard the pitch. But does it hold up?
To make $50K net per property, you’d need $960/week AFTER expenses. That’s a 10.4% net yield 😬. And that’s before we talk mortgages, vacancy, and other special holding costs.
📌 In my latest article, we unpack the numbers, the assumptions, and what most sellers don’t tell you.
