After months of development, iteration, and real-world modelling, we’re excited to announce that Property Assistant is officially entering Open Testing.
This is a major milestone for us at B&E Media — and for investors who want more transparency and clarity in their property decisions.

What Is Property Assistant?
Property Assistant is a powerful Australian-focused investment modelling tool designed to give you:
📊 Accurate rental yield calculations
🏦 Multi-loan structuring (P&I, Interest Only, dual loans)
📈 5-year capital growth and rent forecasting
💰 Full tax-deductible modelling (interest, depreciation, operating costs)
🧮 State-specific stamp duty and land tax calculations
⚠️ Timeline stress analysis (rate rises, IO rollover impacts)
🔍 LMI (Lender’s Mortgage Insurance) modelling
🔄 Refinance timing projections
And most importantly — clarity.
No fluff. No guesswork. Just structured numbers.
Why Open Testing?
Property modelling is complex. Real-world finance is complex. Tax law is complex.
Before full public release, we want:
🔍 Real-world scenario testing
🧪 Edge case validation
📈 Stress-testing across different investor profiles
🧠 Feedback from actual users
Open testing allows us to refine the product under real conditions while maintaining stability and transparency.
What Makes Property Assistant Different?
Most property calculators are simplified.
They:
Assume single loans
Ignore IO rollover risk
Over-simplify tax deductions
Don’t account for reassessments
Skip LMI amortisation nuances
Don’t show timeline payment transitions
Property Assistant models:
IO → P&I transitions
Dual-loan structures
LVR thresholds and LMI triggers
State-specific land tax marginal structures
Reassessment protection logic
Negative gearing tax impact
Post-tax cashflow clarity
The engine is structured to behave like a financial model — not a marketing tool.
Built for Australian Investors
The current release supports:
NSW
VIC
QLD
SA
WA
TAS
ACT
NT
With state-based tax logic and ownership normalisation.
Future roadmap includes:
Multi-property portfolio support
Advanced scenario comparison
PDF Report printout support
Multi-region support
Transparency Matters
Every calculation response includes:
Engine watermark version
Override flags
Warning validation
Structured outputs
If something is unusual (for example, IO period exceeds loan term), the system models the scenario but clearly warns the user.
We believe investors deserve clarity — not silent assumptions.
What We’re Testing
During open testing we are validating:
Edge-case loan structures
Zero or extreme rent values
LVR thresholds around 80%
Negative growth scenarios
Tax rate variations
Dual loan stress transitions
Depreciation overrides
Override gating protections
If it can break — we want it to break now, not later.
Important Disclaimer
Property Assistant is an analytical modelling tool. It does not provide financial advice.
All outputs are based on user input and structured assumptions.Users should consult a qualified accountant, broker, or financial advisor before making decisions.

This is just the beginning.
Thank You
Building Property Assistant has been one of the most technically demanding projects we’ve undertaken in house to date.
To everyone who has helped test, break, refine, and question assumptions — thank you.
We’re building something serious.
And this is only version one.
