bwahahahahaha.

so you have no idea what negative gearing is, or maybe your fucked up country hasnt got it.
in a nut shell,
you purchase an investment property,
then rent it out,
say the monthy payments of said investment property costs you
$1800, but you only collect $ 1600 in rent, so your investment costs you $200 per month.
you still with me?

at the end of the tax year, you can then claim $2400 (12x$200) as a loss on your investment, which the tax department pays you because your investment is negativly geared, meahwhile the property has increased in value, so the tenants and the tax department pay for the property, and in say 5-10 years you sell the property which has increased in value but has cost you nothing.
ffs its not rocket science :icon26:

my house has went up over $100k in 2 years.

Now, to sell the sumbitch and move north where it's a bit cheaper.

heh, i sold two blocks of land six months ago which i paid A$32k each three years ago, and made an after tax(12.5%) profit of A$275k

so youre the reason why housing is so damn expensive
greedy bastard

pretty sure we don't have that over here.

wish i could persuade the missus that we should sell ours (maybe if i actually tried that'd help ), damn thing's worth 3 times what it cost a few years back. doesn't matter if no-one buys it, just think it should be on the market on the offchance someone's dumb enough to pay the asking price.

My partner rents out a house she owns. Paid £90’000 two years ago, pays £460 a month repayments and takes £630 a month in rent. Owned.

innit, if you pay like 400 a month for the mortgage you charge higher for the rent

if you charge lower then your a duke

ffs it aint rocket science :icon22:

ffs it aint rocket science

Good game mate
I'll be crashin
See you on the 19th innit!

Yes mate, should do.

Damn, won't be around that weekend.

welcome to some of the most stressful few months of your life. I bought my first property this july, I've only just now "settled", furnishing and shit is a bitch, and loosing a big chunk of your wages a day after pay day is a bitch too.

still need a fucking coffee table actually...

lol. To be fair I sign off tonight and get the keys in a week or so. We’ve got a few hi-lux's with large trailers at our farm and I’m paying some of the hands to help with the move. I might even be away when the move takes place. lol.

Nothing better than owning your own place

lol

Jesus shaft, i must of really owned you, lol.

Keep it in R&R please kid

huh?

Might ban you from mric later. lol.

Sorted mate.
Might drop by for some lager on the 19th innit.

Man, my father spend 75000€ on brand new house with 6 bedrooms and 1 big living room.... :icon30:

houses in poland dont count, dude

I am not from Poland....but I am sure my house is not wooden like those in USA.... And it's actually very nice and big....middle high class.

yeah always wondered why people would build houses out of popsicle sticks in a hurricane prone area

we use wood type products around here.

on top of cement basements.

seems ok
