About Your Investment Property Magazine

Your Investment Property Magazine

Overview

Your Investment Property Magazine — widely known by its initials, YIP — is an Australian magazine and website devoted entirely to residential and commercial property investing. Published in Brisbane by the InfoChoice Group, it serves Australians who own, or aspire to own, investment properties, combining a bi-monthly digital magazine with a high-volume news and advice website.

The editorial formula mixes expert commentary, in-depth suburb profiles, market forecasts and practical investment strategies. Recurring subject matter includes financing and loan structuring, tax planning, legal considerations, self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF) property strategies, capital gains and rental yield analysis, tenant management and renovation strategy. Alongside the instructional material, the magazine profiles experienced investors and tells their stories, positioning itself as a guide for readers at every stage, from buying a first rental property to managing an established portfolio.

YIP operates inside Australia's regulated financial-services environment. Its website is operated by Savings.com.au Pty Ltd, an authorised and credit representative of InfoChoice Pty Ltd, which holds Australian Financial Services Licence and Australian Credit Licence 349445. The content is general information only, and the publisher maintains published editorial guidelines describing a separation between its editorial and commercial teams.

History

Your Investment Property spent most of its life as a print magazine published by Key Media, the business-media company whose other Australian titles included Australian Broker and Your Mortgage. Sold through newsagencies and Coles supermarkets, it was a monthly print title through the 2010s. The magazine was an early mover among Australian property titles into digital editions: in 2011 it launched an iPad app offering the print content with added interactivity, a step Key Media's publishing director Justin Kennedy publicly described at the time as part of the company's expansion into digital media.

Journalist Sarah Megginson became editor of the magazine in 2016 and later also took over as managing editor of YourMortgage.com.au in 2018. Under her editorship the title marked a significant milestone when it celebrated its 150th issue with the January 2019 edition, a bumper issue built around 150 suburbs tipped for investment, passive-income strategies and renovation case studies.

The print era ended in 2020. Amid the property-market uncertainty and falling media revenues of the COVID-19 pandemic, Key Media ceased the monthly print magazine and YIP became a digital-only publication, according to industry reporting at the time. The brand subsequently came under the InfoChoice Group, the Brisbane-based financial comparison business whose stable includes InfoChoice.com.au, Savings.com.au and Your Mortgage. Under InfoChoice, the magazine continues as a digital publication — its About page describes bi-monthly issues available by subscription — while the website has grown into the brand's primary daily channel.

Content and Coverage

The website publishes daily news updates, thought-leadership columns and expert question-and-answer pieces. Coverage in October 2026 illustrates the range: analysis of how the 2026 federal budget's changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax — including the quarantining of losses on established properties and the replacement of the 50 per cent CGT discount with indexation from 1 July 2027 — affect new-build versus established purchases; reporting on Cotality's quarterly rental data showing national gross rental yields at a seven-year high; guidance on using trusts and companies as investment structures after the budget; and explainers on commercial property finance and SMSF borrowing following the government's June 2026 ban on new SMSF borrowing for residential property.

Regular contributors include property market analyst John Lindeman, whose research columns on housing-market dynamics have been a fixture of Australian property publishing for years, and commentators drawn from the investing industry, such as Rethink Group founder Scott O'Neill writing on commercial property. The site's author roster also includes staff finance journalists such as Brooke Cooper, who joined the magazine in 2023 after writing for The Motley Fool on share prices and companies, and its finance Q&A pages answer reader questions on loans and investing. The site is organised around the practical questions investors ask — buying and selling, finance, tax strategy, SMSF rules, insurance and property management — supported by comparison tools and calculators inherited from its parent group's comparison-site model.

The magazine issues themselves, delivered digitally to subscribers, retain the traditional YIP mix described by the publisher: suburb profiles, market forecasts, financing and tax features, SMSF strategy and investor success stories.

Audience and Reach

YIP addresses Australian property investors and would-be investors nationally, rather than any single state market: its suburb research and market reporting range across capital cities and regional markets, and its 2026 coverage has encompassed growth-market reports spanning Hobart, Perth, Adelaide, regional Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. The audience spans first-time investors taking a step onto the property ladder and experienced portfolio holders, a breadth the publisher explicitly designs for.

The title does not publish an independently audited circulation for its current digital form. Its parent, the InfoChoice Group, states that millions of Australians visit its websites each year to compare products, read news and use its tools; that is a group-level figure covering all of the group's sites, not a YIP-specific audience measure, and it is presented here as the publisher's own claim. In its print years the magazine was distributed nationally through newsagencies and Coles supermarkets, as recorded in its own 150th-issue coverage.

Digital Presence

The brand's digital presence is centred on yourinvestmentpropertymag.com.au, which carries daily news, expert columns, guides and comparison content, and through which readers subscribe for full digital access to the magazine. A free e-newsletter delivers weekly insights, and the title maintains Facebook and LinkedIn profiles for real-time updates, as listed on its own About page.

The website's operation by Savings.com.au Pty Ltd is disclosed in its footer and editorial guidelines: Savings.com.au Pty Ltd (ABN 25 161 358 363) is an authorised representative and credit representative of InfoChoice Pty Ltd. The site also publishes pages explaining how it is paid, how it manages conflicts of interest, and its editorial guidelines — disclosures that reflect the compliance framework of the Australian financial-services licensing regime under which the group operates. The guidelines note, for example, that products from the associated Firstmac Group are assessed by the same journalistic methods as those of any other provider.

Ownership and Organisation

Your Investment Property is published by the InfoChoice Group, and its website is operated by Savings.com.au Pty Ltd as a representative of InfoChoice Pty Ltd (ABN 93 061 105 735). The InfoChoice Group encompasses InfoChoice.com.au, Savings.com.au, Your Mortgage and Performance Drive alongside YIP, and is associated with the Firstmac Group, the Brisbane-based non-bank lender behind loans.com.au; the publisher states that Firstmac-associated brands are treated like any other commercial partner in its editorial processes.

Editorially, the magazine is led by editor Bernadette Lunas, an experienced property and finance journalist within the group, with Dominic Beattie serving as Group Editor of the InfoChoice Group, directing editorial activity across the group's websites. Beattie, a finance journalist whose commentary has appeared across Australian television, news and radio outlets, is also the group's nominated media contact. Contributors include staff finance journalists and external property specialists.
