KTG Property Podcast: 3 budgets, 3 ways to invest post-budget (what actually works), with Kev Tran

19 AUG 2026 By Robyn Tongol 1 min read Investor Strategy

Kev Tran digs into the three budget tiers KTG Property Advisory actually uses with clients’ budgets: $350,000 to $550,000, $600,000 to $900,000, and over $850,000, and unpacks what’s realistically achievable in each bracket right now.

Tran lays out the exact asset types still delivering solid yield and growth under $500,000, and why chasing a cheap house in a small regional town can be a costly mistake.

The conversation also tackles the elephant in the room: negative gearing changes and capital gains tax (CGT) reform have shifted the entry point for property investing, and a lot of buyers are stuck on the fence waiting for prices to “come back down”. Tran explains why that wait usually backfires, and what he’d actually invest in if he was starting fresh under today’s rules.

 
 

Whether you’re sitting on $100,000 in savings or just trying to figure out where your budget actually gets you, this episode gives you clear guidance on what’s still working and what to avoid.
