Is Rentvesting Still Worth It After the Tax Changes?

**Many first home buyers have been told rentvesting is one of the smartest ways to get into the property market. But with the Federal Government proposing major changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax, does that strategy still stack up?** In this episode, Veronica and Meighan unpack what the proposed tax reforms could mean for first home buyers, whether rentvesting is still worth considering, and why buying the right property matters more than ever. They explain why tax benefits should never be the main reason to invest, the risks of chasing new builds purely for incentives, and how to identify investment-grade properties that can support long-term wealth. Whether you're planning to buy your first home, considering rentvesting, or trying to understand how the changing tax landscape could affect your decisions, this episode will help you separate headlines from practical strategy. ## Episode Highlights 01:33 – The Tax Changes Reshaping Property Investment 02:31 – Rentvesting Explained: Does It Still Work? 06:28 – What Losing the CGT Discount Means for Investors 08:42 – Is Rentvesting Still a Smart Strategy? 10:51 – The Hidden Risks of Buying New Builds 16:42 – How to Adapt Your Property Strategy 20:24 – Build the Right Team Before You Invest 25:14 – Who Wins and Loses Under the New Rules? 27:21 – Your Next Steps After the Tax Changes ## Course Details: - **THE First Home Buyer Course is our Step-By-Step, No BS Guide to Every Stage of The Home Buying Process –** It’s the next best thing to having your own buyer’s agent.
