Eventus Financial Featured in Australian Broker: Why Positive Cash Flow Properties Are Harder to Find in 2026
As Featured in Australian Broker | Expert Commentary by Alex Veljancevski
Eventus Financial Founder and Director Alex Veljancevski has been featured in Australian Broker, providing expert insights into the growing challenges facing property investors as rising borrowing costs and tighter lending policies make positive cash flow investment properties increasingly difficult to find.
The article highlights new Cotality research revealing that just 0.8% of Australian suburbs, equivalent to 38 locations nationwide, deliver positive cash flow after mortgage repayments and holding costs under standard investor financing conditions.
Alex highlighted how recent changes to negative gearing and lender servicing policies could reduce property investors' borrowing capacity by approximately 20%. Using a practical example, he demonstrated how an investor earning $100,000 annually with no existing debt could see their maximum borrowing capacity fall from $750,000 to $600,000.
The article also explores how higher interest rates, relatively low rental yields and reduced negative gearing benefits are reshaping property investment strategies, with investors increasingly focused on rental income and cash flow rather than capital growth alone.
Alex's contribution reinforces Eventus Financial's expertise in investment property lending, borrowing capacity assessments and helping Australians navigate changing lender policies and challenging property market conditions.
