Eventus Financial Featured in The Senior: Negative Gearing Changes Could Cut Investor Borrowing Power by 20%
As Featured in The Senior | Expert Commentary by Alex Veljancevski
Eventus Financial Founder and Director Alex Veljancevski has been featured in The Senior, discussing how changes to negative gearing announced in the 2026 Federal Budget could significantly impact property investors' borrowing capacity.
Alex highlighted that the removal of negative gearing tax benefits from lenders' servicing calculations could reduce investor borrowing power by up to 20%, potentially limiting purchasing opportunities for Australians looking to build wealth through property.
Using a practical example, Alex explained how an investor previously eligible to borrow $750,000 could see their borrowing capacity fall to $600,000, representing a $150,000 reduction without any changes to their financial circumstances.
The article examines the potential implications for property investors as banks adjust their lending policies in response to the reforms, creating additional challenges for borrowers navigating higher interest rates and changing credit requirements.
