## Resource

ATO just dropped a major tax bombshell for holiday home owners: if your property is available for rent more than half the year, it’s now considered income-generating—even if it’s mostly empty. That means big cuts to deductions like mortgage interest and repairs, unless you actually rent it during peak times like Christmas and Easter. With negative gearing rules tightening too, this could slash the appeal of holiday homes as investments, pushing many owners to sell—and possibly creating opportunities for first-time buyers. If you own a second home, now’s the time to act. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
