  • Ep 372: How to navigate rising land tax
    Read Full Blog HereIn this episode, Campbell explores one of the biggest creeping costs for property investors today, land tax, and why its rising impact should prompt a serious rethink of long-term investment strategies. He breaks down how land tax thresholds and rates have shifted over the last 20 years in Victoria, NSW, and Queensland, and highlights how frozen indexation and bracket creep are quietly eroding net rental yields. Using projections over 15 and 30 years, Campbell reveals how even investment-grade properties could see their net yields drop below 0.2% if land tax rates remain unchanged, reinforcing the message that residential property is not an income strategy, it’s a capital growth play.He also answers listener questions, including Erik’s query on the best ownership structure for purchasing a forever home to preserve intergenerational wealth, and Justin’s detailed questions around the 6-year CGT rule and whether a temporary move-in could provide a valuable tax exemption down the track.Campbell wraps up by stressing the importance of diversification, particularly into shares, which offer more consistent yields and liquidity, and why investors should work with advisors who are independent and experienced across multiple asset classes. A must-listen for anyone navigating today’s changing property tax landscape.Do you have a question?

    Read full blog here.In this episode, Stuart sounds the alarm on property spruikers and how to spot the latest fads that can lead unsuspecting investors astray. Drawing from decades of experience, he explains how to distinguish genuine investment advice from cleverly packaged sales pitches designed to serve the seller, not the buyer.
