Eventus Financial Featured in Elite Agent: Negative Gearing Changes Could Cut Investor Borrowing by 20%
As Featured in Elite Agent | Expert Commentary by Alex Veljancevski
Eventus Financial Founder and Director Alex Veljancevski has been featured in Elite Agent, providing expert commentary on how proposed changes to negative gearing in the 2026–27 Federal Budget could significantly reduce property investors' borrowing capacity.
Alex highlighted that removing negative gearing tax benefits from lenders' servicing calculations could reduce borrowing power by as much as 20%. Using a practical example, he demonstrated how an investor earning $100,000 annually could see their borrowing capacity fall from $750,000 to $600,000, despite no changes to their income, expenses or interest rates.
The article also explores the potential impact of higher interest rates, reduced investor activity and the flow-on effects for Australia's rental housing supply.
Alex emphasised that these changes extend beyond tax deductions, potentially affecting loan approvals, purchasing power and long-term property investment strategies.
The feature reinforces Eventus Financial's expertise in investment property finance, borrowing capacity assessments and navigating Australia's evolving mortgage lending landscape.
