💸 Did you know you can legally avoid capital gains tax on property in Australia? 👀

🏡 If a home is your primary residence, it's capital gains tax-free — even if you move out and rent it for up to 6 years! Move back in to reset the clock and potentially get another 6 years.

📈 One couple made $800K tax-free just by understanding this rule. 🔥 Builders do it too — it's a smart way to grow wealth with zero tax.

📲 Scan the QR code above or DM us if you want to know how to take advantage of this. Don’t miss out on the only tax-free profit in Australia!

🎉 Offer Accepted! Now comes the scary part… signing that contract 😬

We get it — when your agent slides that paperwork across the table, your hands start to shake! But don’t stress — we’re breaking down the do’s and don’ts of signing with your real estate agent so you can move forward confidently.

💡 Pro tip: The cooling-off period is your safety net — 5 days to get checks done, chat with your solicitor, and make sure everything feels right. Need more time? You can even request an extension (and no, it won’t cost you anything 💸).

The key? Stay in touch with your agent, keep communication clear, and don’t delay — delay it or miss it!
