June 2021: EOFY 2021 and the strongest financial year on record

CoreLogic's June 2021 read: combined capitals +13.5% FY, regional Australia +17.7% FY. Hobart was the strongest capital at +19.6%. Investors who had used EOFY 2020 for refinance and acquisition had compounded their position by ~30% net of costs.

The EOFY 2021 play was different: most investors couldn't add. The play was depreciation harvest — getting Quantity Surveyor reports lodged on every new-build acquisition before 30 June to maximise FY21 deductions against the strongest income year of their careers.
