Speaks your language

Native terminology, not translated.

Stackhold uses the terms you actually use — no US-tool-in-translation friction.

LVRDTIBright-line testCouncil ratesBody corporate
  • Bright-line test → automatic tax-on-gain modelling if you sell inside the window.
  • Negative gearing → offset losses against other income where rules allow.
  • New-build DTI exemption → the engine applies the correct rule per property.
  • Body corporate → per-property annual fee plus any special levies.
  • Council rates, not property tax — stored and escalated separately.
  • Interest-only (IO) vs principal-and-interest (P&I) per property with proper amortisation.
