The Property Couch

Is the government about to pull the rug out from under the rental market? 🚨
With housing affordability dominating the headlines, Federal Labor and the Treasury are officially modeling potential changes to Capital Gains Tax (CGT) and Negative Gearing. 
Note: This deep-dive presentation was originally produced by Ben Kingsley for the Property Investors Council of Australia (PICA). Given the gravity of these potential tax reforms and how much they impact our community, we knew we had to share it here on The Property Couch. Watch the full video on PICA Here >
Ben cuts through the political spin to analyze the real-world impact of the policies currently on the table. He puts the proposals from Labor, the Greens, the Grattan Institute, and the recent Treasury news on AFR under the microscope to see who passes—and who fails—the ultimate "Supply Test."
In this episode, we cover:
The #1 Capital Gains Tax Misinformation: What most people are saying wrong?
The "Crowding Out" Myth: Do investors actually lock out First Home Buyers? (The data says otherwise).
The 90% Factor: Who is actually building Australia’s new housing stock?
The Policy Scorecard: Grading the current CGT proposals against the Government’s own objectives.
The 1999 Fact Check: The real (and forgotten) reason the 50% CGT discount was created.
The PICA Solution: A balanced, tiered CGT policy that satisfies investors, renters, and the Government.
This is a masterclass in policy and "Economic Darwinism." If you are one of the 2.3 million property investors in Australia, you cannot afford to miss this.

Folks, this could be shaping up to be the biggest risk of 2026...  
Yep. We’re back with one of our MOST popular episodes of the year, our 2026 Property Market Outlook!  
The economy has run hotter than the RBA expected, but higher rates and rising living costs are starting to bite. At the same time, tight supply, strong population growth and government incentives (like the 5% deposit scheme) are continuing to support demand. 
So which force wins? 
In this deep-dive outlook episode, Ben takes the reins to break down the macro forces shaping the year and what it all means for you. 
Then it’s state by state: 
Why Perth’s supply imbalance still underpins growth 
Why Brisbane and Adelaide are more sensitive to investor activity 
Why Darwin is booming...but timing matters 
Why Canberra remains structurally challenging 
Why Hobart runs steady, but population is constrained 
And why Melbourne may be the counter-cyclical opportunity for long-term investors 
Understand the signal and ignore the noise. Tune in now!

There is no perfect property plan.
Only the one that fits your life. 
In the final chapter of How to Retire on $3,000 a Week, Bryce and Ben walk through real-life case studies that show how different Australians apply the same framework in very different ways.
Young families. Singles. Rentvesters. Empty nesters. Career-focused couples. Each starting from a different place, but all work toward the same outcome: Financial peace.
This chapter is not about copying someone else’s strategy; it’s about seeing what is possible when you design a plan that fits your life because the most powerful plan is the one you actually follow.
 
🎁 FREE for a limited time only as Bryce’s farewell gift. Two chapters daily from 6–12 February. Listen now.
