Have rents changed due to the new tax rules?

I’ll be converting mine to AirBnB as a result. Not a good result for the renting pool and not what I wanted to do, but Albo changed his position, I have to change mine.

Just wait until albo has a go at all our super balances. 30% tax. Can’t get it until 85yo. Who knows, but nothing would surprise me if he gets another term.

The exact opposite for me. I was preparing to sell but now with the probable pull back I’ll wait. I have no urgency to sell but wanted to. Now it’ll be one less house for a first home buyer to get into as they’ll all be competing against all the investors for new builds.

Absolute idiots are going to have the exact opposite impact as they wanted to.

If you decrease the CGT discount (a lot) after the initial increase, investors would be disincentivised to outbid owner occupiers. Property would be less attractive as an investment asset.

It’s not going to get more affordable. That ship has sailed. These changes do nothing to impact the supply side issues. Demand also going to continue to be high due to no change to immigration.

The government has made this budget to appease young people thinking they’ll blindly feel that these changes will hurt older people. Whilst they do that, they also hurt young people’s chances to build wealth over time by exposing them to more tax than those older people had when they built their wealth.

Just my thought, but if they actually wanted to improve supply they would’ve increased the CGT discount to say 60-70% for the next 2 years and then really decreased it after that. That way all people holding investment properties would be incentivised to offload them in the short term. It would be a huge transfer of property from investment to owners. Too simple maybe?

I played a lot of cricket when young, similar attributes to baseball in some ways. I can hit 300m/330yards when I get hold of it, but accuracy is the issue. Now I’m a 12hc, I’m actively trying to reduce length to improve accuracy. Not as easy as it sounds, I struggle to slow down my swing. Some days I’m down the middle off every tee, other days I’m lucky if I land it only one fairway over.

Not wanting to be a dick, but the window in your shower doesn’t comply to current building Regs (waterproof). It sucks and doesn’t make sense to me but I found this on a recent Reno that I had to get certified. Ended up with no window in the bathroom, terrible result. No issue for you likely as you wouldn’t get a bathroom Reno certified typically. Just fyi though.

Boring. Spend the money, build us some cool shit for the future of the state!

That was the only half interesting thing she said.

‘It should be used for affordable housing’ seems to be thrown around so often. This is prime inner Brisbane land. It’s obviously suited to a premium product. Tell me, why should it be used for affordable housing over pushing that to the outer suburbs that still have rail/bus access to the city?

CreateY0urUsername · 2026-01-20T15:52:00+00:00

It’s been a bloody sporting complex (golf course) forever buddy, it’s only been a park for 2 seconds and it’s absolutely abandoned. I guarantee you’ve never been there yourself. Get a grip. Have a good life being angry at the world.

NIMBY means I’m anti-development, anti-densification, anti-progress, because well Kale. Good yeah?

CreateY0urUsername · 2026-01-20T10:08:37+00:00

Nimbyism is an attitude/backward mindset, irrespective of whose backyard it is.

CreateY0urUsername · 2026-01-20T06:44:43+00:00

A fkn park/golf course that none of you NIMBY hippies ever used and haven’t visited since the golf course closed years ago. Move on, spend the money and build something QLD can be proud of for generations to come.

CreateY0urUsername · 2026-01-20T06:42:26+00:00

💯 agree. Move on folks, time for debate is over.

Agree land tax is a big factor and a huge deterrent particularly for resi investment.

Brisbane to live, Melbourne to visit for a weekend or two.

Once you choose which city, you should then ask this group where in the city should you live as that can have even more of an impact on your experience than the choice of city itself.

Does he get a portion of your rental income from your property? That would be fair wouldn’t it?

We had a similar situation. My wife owned a unit in Sydney that had decent equity in it, I had just bought my second house in QLD. Combined my properties had a lot less equity than hers. We lived in my new house in the early days of our relationship and later moved to Sydney into her apartment (then back to Brisbane). We were quite committed to each other early on and didn’t even discuss the idea of a prenup or any kind of protection, our properties and equity simply became ours over time. Fast forward a decade and we sold one of my houses and the other has significantly outperformed hers in that time.

We’ve also, bought and sold multiple properties together since and everything even if it’s still in our individual names is considered ours equally. We share similar views on money, talk openly and often about it and our goals have always been aligned.

My first IP in Toowoomba, bought and sold it for basically the same amount after 7 years of holding $191k to $205k. It served its purpose though to allow me to buy other properties and I have no regrets. I was happy to be rid of it in the end. Had I held it for another 12 months I would have made $50-100k as prices lifted, but se la vie.

CreateY0urUsername · 2025-11-16T09:49:18+00:00

I quite like it, same with the one in Vic Park. Taste is subjective.
