Governments of all stripes have tried to solve the housing
affordability challenge through demand-side measures, supply-side tinkering,
and tax policy adjustments.
None of it has worked particularly well, because the
underlying problem - we simply haven't built enough homes in the right places
for a long time - remains stubbornly in place.
What tends to work, over time, is owning good assets in
locations with genuine long-term demand, holding through the cycles, and making
decisions based on fundamentals rather than political headlines.
That approach hasn't changed. And despite what this budget
does to the tax landscape around property, it's still the most reliable path to
financial independence I know of.
So, yes, the budget has made property investing
harder.But for serious investors, that may not be bad news.
Because when the easy money leaves, the strategic money has
less competition.
