About these quizzes

Spot the Dud is a pattern-recognition drill: 4 listings, 3 we'd shortlist and 1 we'd reject, and you tap the trap. Rounds cover off-the-plan towers, single-industry yields, hotspot headlines, main-road discounts and flipped renovations.

True or false walks through the 2027 tax reform, negative gearing grandfathering, CGT indexation and the SMSF rules most articles get wrong. How well do you actually know property is a 3-level multiple-choice test - Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced - drawing 5 questions at random from a larger pool each play.

A lender's serviceability assessment adds a buffer of roughly 3 per cent on top of your actual rate. What is that buffer designed to test?

The listings in Spot the Dud are illustrative composites, not real properties. The tax and super quiz reflects Alaya's interpretation of announced measures and long-standing rules - not final law, and not financial or tax advice.
