Built Different Podcast

The Federal Budget just changed the rules of Australian property investing overnight - negative gearing, CGT discounts, self-managed super funds and the ripple effects will hit every renter, buyer and investor in the country.
Sammy Gordon (Australian Property Scout) and Jeremy Iannuzzelli join the show for a post-budget deep dive: why disincentivising investors will trigger a rental super boom, how the new policies draw a permanent line between the haves and have-nots, what's really behind the government's push against SMSFs and payday super, and why sentiment is sitting at GFC lows while seasoned investors are quietly buying more aggressively than ever.
If you're wondering whether to sit on your hands or act, this episode is your sentiment check. You'll learn why the next 6-12 months may be the best buying window since COVID, the 12 locations tipped for extreme rental surges, and the mindset shift needed to build wealth when everyone else is frozen.

The government has ended SMSF residential property lending. You have until August 10 to sign a contract if you want to buy property with your super using borrowing.

In this episode, live from our team conference in Cairns: what the SMSF changes mean, who's affected, the week-by-week plan to beat the deadline (24-hour SMSF setups, 3-day rollovers, skipping pre-approval), the negative gearing and capital gains tax changes, and why commercial property lending remains open.

Australia's property market has changed again.
With the Federal Government announcing changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax concessions, investors across the country are asking the same question:
What happens next?
In this episode of Built Different, Aaron Christie-David sits down with Providence Property's Jay Pace to unpack the real-world impact of property policy changes, investor behaviour, and why headlines rarely tell the full story.
Filmed before the government's announcement, this conversation is a fascinating look at the arguments, data, and market forces that continue to shape Australian real estate today. Jay shares why he believes policy changes alone won't solve Australia's housing affordability challenges and why some investors could be missing the bigger picture.
You'll learn:
• What negative gearing changes could mean for investors
• Why affordability is a supply issue, not just a tax issue
• The lessons from Australia's previous negative gearing experiment
• Why Melbourne may be Australia's most underrated property market
• The opportunities emerging in Brisbane and Perth
• Why waiting for certainty can be a costly investing mistake
• The mindset differences between successful investors and everyone else
• How market sentiment creates opportunities for long-term wealth builders
Jay also breaks down the numbers behind Australia's strongest-performing property markets and explains why understanding long-term trends often matters more than reacting to short-term headlines.
Whether you're buying your first investment property, building a portfolio, or simply trying to make sense of Australia's housing market, this episode delivers a data-driven perspective on what comes next.
