Smart Property Investment Podcast Network

In this live episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, hosts Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman unpack the forces shaping Australia's property market: from global geopolitical tensions to tax reform, interest rate pressures, and new proposals from the Victorian government. They discuss how real estate underpins the nation's economy and examine how events in the Middle East could ripple through supply chains, fuel security, and inflation – before exploring what this means for investment portfolios if interest rates rise further. Tarrant and Garman also tackle proposed changes to capital gains tax and negative gearing, including suggestions from the member for Wentworth, Allegra Spender, highlighting the need for policy certainty and the protection of existing investments to maintain trust in the financial system. Finally, they turn to industry reforms, including Victoria's proposed build and pest report requirements, and the potential impact on buyers as sellers could selectively present favourable reports. If
