Depreciation might not sound exciting until you realise how much money it’s leaving on the table for everyday investors. In this episode, we’re joined by Scott Brunsdon, co-founder of Depreciator and one of the first in Australia to specialise solely in tax depreciation schedules.

We dive into what depreciation actually is, why so many investors and even accountants overlook it, and how one schedule can mean thousands in extra cash flow year after year. Scott breaks down how to claim on renovations, when a schedule is worth doing, and why not all providers are created equal.

Whether you own one property or ten, this episode is packed with simple, actionable insights that could seriously improve your return.

Episode Takeaways:

✅ Depreciation isn’t just for new builds. Renovations, even those done by previous owners, can unlock thousands in tax savings.
✅ Most investors are leaving money on the table. A simple depreciation schedule could improve cash flow by $2,000 or more each year.
✅ Cheap isn’t always smart. Using an experienced provider matters because if your schedule is wrong, you’re the one the ATO holds accountable.
