Property investors facing challenges amid policy changes

Jun 2025PIPA Admin

Australia’s property investment sector faces scrutiny over rental caps and taxes, raising concerns for homebuyers and housing supply.

Nicola Mcdougall, the outgoing chair of the Property Investment Professionals of Australia (PIPA), emphasised the importance of fair treatment for property investors: the individuals who provide a crucial supply of rental housing in Australia.

Despite negative perceptions in the media, the narrative around property investors appears to be shifting, with increased recognition of their contribution to the rental market.

Current statistics highlight that a significant portion of rental properties are owned by everyday Australians, often referred to as “mum and dad” investors.
