Australian property investors are facing major changes after the latest budget, negative gearing updates, tighter borrowing power, and a shifting 2026 property market.

In this episode of My Next Property, Steve breaks down the 5 next steps investors should take now to protect their strategy, spot opportunity, and avoid making costly mistakes in a changing market. He also gives a strong warning about buying off-the-plan or house-and-land packages purely for tax benefits, and why tax strategy should never replace investment strategy.
