PROPERTY INVESTING INSIGHTS WITH RIGHT PROPERTY GROUP: Shrinking borrowing power to reshape the market faster than policy

Most property investors are panicking over tax changes, but the real shock could come when borrowing power starts collapsing faster than expected.

On Property Investing Insights, hosts Phil Tarrant and Victor Kumar from Right Property Group break down the growing fallout from the federal budget and why investors may need to rethink strategy, structure, and portfolio planning.

Kumar warns that while negative gearing changes have dominated headlines, the real pressure point could come from reduced lending capacity, with some banks already adjusting calculators and slashing borrowing power dramatically.

The episode explores how investors may need to adapt by reassessing portfolio structure, improving cash flow, and diversifying across different property types as the market adjusts to potential policy shifts.

Kumar also cautions against panic-driven decisions, arguing that strong portfolios are built on long-term fundamentals, not short-term political noise or speculation.

The duo also discusses how the changing landscape could reshape the buyer's agent sector, with increased pressure likely separating experienced operators from opportunistic entrants.
