Most Australians know their superannuation is growing in the background, but very few realise it can be used to purchase investment properties.

By your second or third investment property, it can start eating into your cash flow in a big way.

Here's what property investors need to understand about the proposed changes, the potential market impacts, and how to prepare for what's ahead.
