You should try it - instead of being on the sideline and passing judgement.

Just so that you guys really understand - when they say "you have a negative gearing claim of $10k on your property"....it means you have LOST $10k for that year on that property rental. And you are claiming a tax offset or refund of 45% of that - ie. $4,500 back.

So for that year, you lost $10k on your rental and you get a $4,500 back from the taxes you paid, from other sources of income.

Net wise, you have lost $5,500 for that year, for that rental property. Imagine asking an ordinary person if they have $5.5k to lose.

Well, I got 4 rental.

And those losses does not include additional expenses such as damages done by tenants or floods.

Few of you guys really understand that: You actually are losing $$$$$$ in the rental market; in most cases!!!

It is the Capital Gains over the long term that property investors seek - not the rental yield.

Investments - regardless of shares or property, it is much better to have a long term plan.

And there is no such thing as a Fixed rate of return. Every situation is different.

Only people who have Never done this, would assert such an arbitrary number as if its the natural law of things.

you lost money because your out goings are greater than your incoming…. That’s your fault, maybe jf the house prices weren’t so high the yields would be better
