This is Why Landlords Quitting Victoria, page-114

even the worst of tenants still pay and if they don't, as a good investor you would have landlords insurance which will cover you against loss of income if you do get one of those feral meth lab types

i am perplexed by the current debate and have consistently backed changes to negative gearing to 'increase' the actual NG aspect to encourage landlords to take on LT tenants

as you would know big repairs such as a hot water system are not an instant write off but must be amortised

i would argue that an 'instant write off' for real improvements that would actually attract a higher quality tenant and keep them under your roof paying a reasonable rent could make a massive difference

the issue is that the left see 'negative gearing' itself as the issue rather than saying 'what can we do to bring investors back to the table'

yeh it's a cluster****
