With Cate away, Dave and Mike unpack the 2026 PIPA Annual Investor Sentiment Survey. Investor sales have risen for a fourth straight year to 18.3%, while only 27.8% plan to buy again, down from 41%. Just 12.4% of sellers sold to a first home buyer, 62.3% of portfolios are now negatively cash flowed, and 87% doubt future governments will keep tax settings stable. Melbourne tops the list of places to invest at 38.7%, despite Victoria ranking near the bottom for investor friendliness. If investors keep stepping back, what does that mean for renters and the rental pool?
