Property Buzz: Tax grabs, rogue agents, and TikTok misinformation: The threats facing every Australian property investor right now

Capital gains discounts and negative gearing under attack. Trust account theft from dodgy agents off the charts. TikTok stars attacking property investors. Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman break it all down and share critical data on how investors can continue to grow their portfolios. On this week's Property Buzz live, Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman cut through the noise on what's making headlines in property: tax reform, dodgy agents, boom suburbs, and common financial misinformation. The federal budget is looming, and with it the very real prospect of the capital gains tax discount dropping from 50 per cent to 33 per cent and negative gearing being capped at two properties. Phil and Liam unpack what that means for investors, and why the full picture is still far from clear. They also dig into the FAST 50 report, highlighting why investors across Australia are tipping regional Victoria and Queensland as boom locations, before turning to the industry's darker side: trust account fraud, agent misconduct, and the quiet danger of incentive kicker schemes that leave vendors thousands of dollars worse off. Finally, the pair take aim at a viral TikTok video claiming corporate investors are deliberately engineering Australia's housing crisis, and deliver a timely reminder that in the age of financial influencers, separating fact from noise isn't optional. It's essential.
