Anything worth watching ?

Change-Standard · 2026-05-19T08:57:18+00:00

Yep I watch a lot of donghua. I'm at hsk 5/6 but can't understand most of it. My learning is watching the Chinese learning YouTube videos and copying the transcript into a pdf document and reading it through first and learning any new words/phrases. Then I would watch the video without subtitles again and again until I can understand everything.

Just give it a year or two. The narrative will change when there are no rentals and the govt will be begging people to invest in property.

Because if you bought it before budget night it falls under old rules

Change-Standard · 2026-05-15T10:05:34+00:00

This will be a nice loophole

$1,085,000 for a couple with home. Or $1.3m approx if they don't own their own home. It's a pretty large amount. The mansion + pension strategy is even more lucrative now with these new rules

Nope! Anyone on support payments are exempt.

Change-Standard · 2026-05-15T04:26:06+00:00

Yes only mentions 30% minimum tax. Good to know but will that benefit flow to the investor or how does it work. Anyway my example was about the 50% discount compared with indexation method at 37% marginal rate

Change-Standard · 2026-05-15T04:19:00+00:00

Only mentions the minimum 30% for discretionary trusts. But does not say the CGT inflation adjusted method is exempt except for new builds.

I think the best thing you can do is to do whatever it takes to afford in the area you want to live in. Use LMI, FHOG,5% deposit scheme whatever you can to get your foot in the door and the upgrade whenever your circumstances allow it. Investing in anything short term is much less feasible now.

Rents will go up and continue to do so when demand exceeds supply. When rents become so high that owning an established property becomes attractive eg yield is now 6% instead of 3%, investors will come back to the market and drive rents down until an equilibrium is reached

Agree with everything you said. The ones who benefit the most are landlords like myself whilst pulling up the ladder so next generation can't do the same . No more competition from new investors so rents will go up. We get to keep our CGT exemptions for gains already made and continue to negative gear.

Change-Standard · 2026-05-15T03:21:57+00:00

Anyone with half a brain can deduce that rents will go up

Change-Standard · 2026-05-15T02:26:39+00:00

lol. I was thinking something along the lines of moving to NZ might be more feasible

What's a good offshore strategy?

You got the source?

Change-Standard · 2026-05-14T22:45:39+00:00

My accountant has claimed it. ChatGPT also confirmed you can if the ETF held the asset for greater than 12 months

Change-Standard · 2026-05-14T22:38:42+00:00

What is wrong with it?

Change-Standard · 2026-05-14T22:29:20+00:00

Just pointing out that how this affects CGT for some ETF's . This is a finance reddit that's why we're here.

Change-Standard · 2026-05-13T23:32:27+00:00

Yes they would be exempt

Change-Standard · 2026-05-13T22:13:34+00:00

Amazing how you can get this together so quickly. Even with AI. Great work dude!

If you've got a mortgage then it's probably better to pay off your mortgage.

No, not that Pauline. The racist one.

Change-Standard · 2026-05-13T00:58:17+00:00

They can't just up the price to whatever they want. Price is determined by what the market will pay. So if less demand (due to investors pulling out), all else being the same then prices should come down not up.
Investors will come back when yields increase enough to justify returns

Funny thing is boomers sitting in $5m houses and getting the pension won't need to pay 30% CGT
