The May 2026 Federal Budget replaces the 50 per cent capital gains tax discount with cost base indexation and a 30 per cent minimum tax from 1 July 2027, and limits negative gearing to new builds. Gains accrued before that date keep the existing discount.

What determines your actual home loan borrowing capacity in Australia in 2026?
Lender assessments depend on four key mechanics:
APRA 3% Serviceability Buffer: Every loan application is stress-tested at your contract rate plus a mandatory 3.0% buffer (assessed at ~9.1%–9.5%), shaving 15%–20% off maximum borrowing capacity.
6× Debt-to-Income (DTI) Limit: APRA supervisory rules cap the volume of loans written above 6× gross annual household income.
HEM Living Expense Floors: Upward revisions in Household Expenditure Measure (HEM) benchmarks lower assessable monthly surplus.
Credit Limit Liabilities: Credit cards are assessed on full limits rather than balances—a $10,000 credit limit reduces borrowing power by ~$40,000–$50,000.

What actually constitutes a "good" rental yield in Australia?

The numbers break down into three distinct benchmarks:

Capital City Average (3.0% – 4.5%): Sydney (3.1%), Brisbane (3.3%), Adelaide (3.4%), and Perth (3.6%) offer lower yields, requiring investors to rely on long-term capital growth to offset net cash flow deficits.

Yield Leaders (5.5% – 7.0%+): Darwin leads capital cities at 6.0% gross yield, while major regional hubs sit between 5.0% and 8.0%, offering day-one positive gearing.

High-Yield Regional Markets (8.0% – 11.0%+): Resource and regional employment hubs (e.g., Tom Price, Dysart, Broken Hill) produce extreme gross yields driven by supply constraints, though with higher economic volatility.

Key takeaway: Gross yield ignores holding costs—rates, management fees, insurance, and loan interest rates. Financing structure is the single variable investors fully control to optimize net return.
