They analyse the potential impact of changes to the capital gains tax (CGT) discount and discuss how investors can repivot and plan their portfolios strategically.

The hosts highlight how the proposed reforms could shift investor behaviour – encouraging longer-term holding rather than speculative buying and selling – which may increase rental pressure but is unlikely to improve overall housing affordability.

Tarrant’s recent acquisition in a growth market illustrates this strategy in action. By targeting an emerging area and positioning for long-term capital growth, he shows that research, timing, and a clear plan are key to navigating uncertainty.

Glossop and Tarrant emphasise that while tax changes may be politically appealing, they do little to solve Australia’s real housing challenge: a chronic shortage of new dwellings driven by slow approvals, strong migration, and shrinking household sizes.
