In this episode of the Follio Property Podcast, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down exactly which asset classes will thrive and which will burn your cash in a post-budget market where negative gearing benefits have been slashed and borrowing capacity has dropped by $200,000.If you're investing in Australian property in 2026, the rules have changed. The RBA has held rates at 4.35% with inflation still running too hot, and the recent Federal Budget has reshaped the playbook for property investors across Australia. Banks are already lowering fixed mortgage rates, signalling rate cuts ahead but the real story is how the budget's changes to negative gearing are transforming buyer behaviour across the Australian housing market.In this episode, Lachlan Delahunty and Reece Beddall analyse the asset classes that matter right now: houses versus units versus apartments, land banking strategies, regional property markets, and commercial property investing. Lachlan defines the critical distinction between units and apartments (high-rise airspace with no scarcity).What You'll Learn:✅ Why the 2026 Budget has made land banking strategies far less viable for Australian property investors ✅ The critical difference between units and apartments and why it determines your capital growth ✅ How negative gearing changes have reduced borrowing capacity by up to $200,000 ✅ Why regional and lifestyle property markets face the most pain post-budget ✅ The hidden traps in commercial property yields and how to verify advertised returns ✅ Which asset classes Lachlan Delahunty recommends in a high-rate, post-budget environment ✅ The replacement cost argument that makes units at $450K more attractive than building at $850K+Timestamps:00:00 Introduction02:14 RBA Holds at 4.35% & Investors Sentiment Shift05:32 Land Banking & Upgrade Sites: No Longer Viable07:34 $200K Borrowing Capacity Wipeout08:43 New Post-Budget Playbook: Location, Land, Asset Type10:49 Units vs Apartments Defined11:12 Why Units Are Outperforming Houses16:35 Regional & Lifestyle Markets Face the Most Pain22:52 Commercial Property Yield TrapsAbout The Follio Property PodcastEach week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

Australia's Government Is Quietly Engineering a Housing Collapse | Property Experts

The math doesn't work, and the result is the worst rental crisis in living memory. Leith Onselen joins the Follio Property Podcast to break down exactly why Labor's migration policy is crushing the Australian housing market, how the federal government's addiction to personal income tax revenue is driving the crisis, and the three policy changes that could turn it all around.In this episode, Leith Van Onselen delivers a comprehensive takedown of Australia's economic management. He argues that running migration "at just the most obscene rate into a supply restricted market" has crushed living standards and productivity, with per capita GDP going backwards in 10 of the last 15 quarters. The core problem is structural: 52% of federal revenue comes from personal income taxes, so Canberra has every incentive to pump population growth while the states carry the infrastructure bill. Onselen unpacks how the student visa system has become a backdoor migration channel, why parental visas cost taxpayers nearly $400,000 each, and how Australia's energy policy is accelerating deindustrialization at exactly the wrong time. For anyone invested in Australian property or simply trying to understand why rents keep climbing, this conversation connects the dots between immigration numbers, housing supply, and the political machinery that keeps the whole system running.In this episode, you’ll get to know:✅ The real numbers behind Australia's housing shortage: 478,000 arrivals vs 175,000 new homes✅ Why 10 of the last 15 quarters have seen negative per capita GDP growth despite overall economic growth✅ How the federal government's 52% income tax dependency fuels the migration machine✅ The student visa trade exposed: how it became a backdoor migration channelTimestamps:00:00 478,000 Migrants vs 175,000 Homes: Australia's Housing Crisis Equation05:41 Why the Australian Housing Market Is Trapped by 52% Income Tax Dependency12:30 Australia's Energy Policy Is Crashing Productivity and House Prices20:05 Why Under 130,000 Arrivals Could Save the Australian Property Market22:41 The Energy Overhaul That Could Reverse the Rental Crisis24:14 Norway vs Australia: How Sovereign Wealth Could End the Housing Shortage28:29 The Real Reason Rents Keep Rising: State vs Federal Cost-Shifting ExplainedFollow Leith Van Onselen:YouTube:  @Leithvo  [https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCi3WZlKputf4Kv6AFDiLYVg] Business: https://www.macrobusiness.com.au/About The Follio Property PodcastEach week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

Sydney's Best Buying Window in 15 Years Just Opened | Property Experts

Book Your FREE Investment Assessment 👉: https://follio.com.au/contact-us/?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=video&utm_id=Ep+77📊 National Investment Report: https://441711975.hs-sites-ap1.com/follio-property-podcast-content-subscriber?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_id=Ep+77🚨 Attention Aussie Property Investors: The 2026 Budget may create the biggest property opportunities in years. Grab your FREE report from Australia's leading property experts and discover what's coming next.Sydney house prices are falling at the fastest rate since 2018 and the government isn't trying to stop it. In this episode, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty along with Redom Syed expose why the Australian government is betting on a Sydney property market correction before 2026 and why the next 6–12 months could be the best buying window Sydney has seen in 15 years.The Sydney property market in 2026 is shifting faster than most buyers and investors realise. House prices now sit at $1.6 million, down 4% in the last quarter alone, with auction clearance rates falling below 50% for the first time in years. This isn't just another cycle. Three rate rises, a government clampdown on investor lending, and post-budget uncertainty have combined to trigger what could become an 8%-plus aggregate price decline for Sydney. Borrowing power has fallen 30–40% over five years, and consumer confidence sits at historic lows. For Australian property investors and first-home buyers sitting on the sidelines, the question isn't whether Sydney will fall further, it's whether you'll recognise the window when it's open. The underlying housing shortage hasn't disappeared. Migration rates remain high. And the affordability index, which peaked at 61.5% in mid-2024 and now sits in the low 50s, is approaching levels that historically precede market rebounds. In this episode, we will cover:✅ The budget created "a bigger impact than the policy measures" ✅ The $2M–$5M trap✅ Auction clearance rates ✅ The affordability index✅ Borrowing power: how a decline changes things✅ The tale of 2–3 cities inside Sydney✅ Why Sydney's 2018 15% decline is the template for what happens next Timestamps:00:00 - Sydney Enters Buyer's Territory02:25 - Budget Fallout: Uncertainty Is the Real Weapon05:24 - 85% of Sellers At A Loss 10:21 - Affordability Index: The Metric That Predicts the Bottom16:58 - The 2018 15% Decline 18:09 - The $1 Trillion Wealth Wipeout 21:18 - Consumer Confidence, RBA Policy & Rate Cuts29:21 - Auction Clearance Rates33:04 - Spring 26: The Best Buying Window in 15 Years41:41 - Where Smart Money MovesAbout The Follio Property PodcastEach week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.
