INVESTORS TAKE NOTE - THE RULES HAVE CHANGED. LAND MAY BECOME THE SMART PLAY.
20 Longview Drive, River Heads QLD 4655
Offers Over $399,000
With the Federal Government's changes to negative gearing now drawing a clear line between new builds and established properties, opportunities like this are starting to look increasingly strategic for forward-thinking buyers.
Under the changes:
New Builds Remain Exempt
Investors purchasing newly built properties will still retain full negative gearing benefits, allowing rental losses to offset personal taxable income.
Established Homes Face Restrictions
Established residential properties purchased after Budget night may no longer provide the same tax advantages, with losses restricted to future rental income or capital gains only.
Existing Owners Protected
Current investment property owners prior to 12 May 2026 remain grandfathered under existing arrangements.
What does that mean moving forward?
It means vacant residential land in growth locations - where buyers can construct a brand-new investment property - could become one of the most attractive sectors of the market.
And that's exactly where 20 Longview Drive, River Heads positions itself.
