🚗 Using the visitor parking? It could cost you.

Visitor parking is exactly that — for visitors. Regularly using these spaces as your own could result in fines of up to $1,100, with repeat breaches attracting even higher penalties.

For landlords and tenants, it's another reminder that strata by-laws matter. Property managers should ensure tenants receive a copy of the building rules, and residents should respect shared spaces to help avoid unnecessary disputes.

After all, a parking spot isn't worth falling out with your neighbours. 🚙

🏡 More roadblocks. Fewer incentives.

This week’s property discussion centred on one big question:

If we want more homes, where are the incentives to build and invest?

With changes affecting residential property inside super, many everyday Australians may have fewer pathways into property investment. Add mortgage prison, rising costs and a lack of new housing supply, and it's easy to see why confidence is being tested.

The takeaway? Without meaningful incentives, creating more housing becomes even harder.

💬 Do you think Australia is doing enough to encourage housing investment and increase supply?

🏡 Thinking of upgrading your home? The current market might be working in your favour.

Many people focus on selling for less, but forget they're also buying for less.

📉 Example:
• Sell a $1M apartment after a 5% drop = $50k less
• Buy a $2M home after a 5% drop = $100k less
• Net gain = $50k in your favour

And it doesn't stop there. A smaller mortgage today could mean significant savings in interest over the life of the loan. 💰

The property cycle doesn't last forever. Sometimes the best opportunities come when everyone else is sitting on the sidelines.

📊 Don't let emotion drive the decision. Look at the numbers, understand the cycle, and make informed choices.
