    imo, negative gearing is a superstition

    eg. $125k pa gross wages @ $34k tax

    $25k loss on investment property

    tax becomes $25k

    $25k loss gets $9k back in tax

    net loss = $16k pa

    therefore the property must appreciate $16k pa to break even

    OK when buying property at the right time, such as those that bought pre-2001

    regards
