The rules may be changing, but the fundamentals haven’t.

As proposed negative gearing reforms dominate headlines, many investors are asking the same question:

Should I rethink my strategy?

To help answer that, Ben Kingsley welcomes Lachlan Delahunty, Founder of Follio and a property professional who has been involved in more than $2 billion worth of property acquisitions.

Together, they explore what really drives long-term property performance and why some investors risk being distracted by tax outcomes rather than investment fundamentals.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why negative gearing was never the strategy — capital growth was
• The difference between commutable and non-commutable regional markets
• Why some regional locations thrive while others experience boom-bust cycles
• The investment-grade framework: Location, Land, Asset
• How scarcity, agglomeration and demographic trends influence property values
• Why guaranteed returns, social media hype and thinly traded regional markets can create significant risks for investors

As Lachlan reminds listeners:

“The rent keeps you in the market. Growth creates the wealth.”

But perhaps the biggest message from this conversation is even simpler:

Good property is still good property.

Governments change.

Policies change.

Markets change.

But the fundamentals that drive long-term wealth creation remain remarkably consistent.
