Investment Signal

8% house yield = massively positive cashflow. Budget changes completely irrelevant. REIWA forecasts 10–15% price growth in 2026. Nickel volatility is the risk; gold price at multi-year highs.

Risk / Warning

Already 'Known' to institutional investors — hype penalty applied. Gold and nickel cycles can invert fast. Mid-cycle by classification. Price already +14% past year.

Budget Policy Impact

8% yield at $420k = ~$33.3k rent vs ~$21.8k interest = $11,500 STRONGLY POSITIVE cashflow. Budget changes have zero negative impact. CGT indexation suits long-hold mining cycle investors.
