566 | Could $800 Really Be Worth Thousands? The Untapped Shortcut to Bigger Cash Flow – Chat with Brad Beer

The Property Couch

Most investors don’t realise they’re sitting on thousands in extra deductions...and the ATO isn’t in a hurry to remind them.

This week, we’re joined by Bradley Beer, CEO of BMT Tax Depreciation, to unpack how a depreciation schedule can turn dead money into real cash flow.

You’ll discover:

• Why old properties can still deliver big deductions
• The truth about cheap online depreciation reports
• How renovations and scrapping can supercharge returns
• The average deductions most investors miss (hint: it’s thousands)

This is the depreciation masterclass you can’t afford to skip.
