Sally BlythNeutral or positive gearing is achievable in 2026, but it requires deliberate choices. With interest rates and costs higher than recent years, investors must use a combination of suburb selection, property type, finance structure and active management to improve cashflow.
Sally BlythThe Sunshine Coast remains a seller’s market with strong demand and limited supply. What $1M buys today varies dramatically by suburb and property type.

Sally BlythBuying property is rarely a one-and-done decision. Even if you settled last month, thinking ahead gives you leverage when markets shift, finance changes, or family needs evolve. There are three practical paths to consider now: buy to invest, buy to live later (side-step), and buy to upgrade. Each path has different priorities for cashflow, capital growth, tax and timing. Buy to invest prioritises rental yield and tenant demand. Look for suburbs with reliable long-term tenants, low vacancy and scope to add value. This path supports business cashflow and builds equity you can use later.

Here’s what that looks like: • Clean contracts • Pre approval • Clear communication • Fast decision making • Minimal conditions • Professional presentation Strategy matters just as much as price - sometimes more.
