I never bought a negative geared property.
I follow kiyosakis and deroos ideas:
You make money when you buy, not buy and pray that value goes up!
All the people who have negative geared properties actually gamble and hope prices go up! That is not investing to me, no offence to anyone.

I am a german who lives in victoria.
Have 2 houses in usa and 3 houses in victoria.
I strongly agree with you! Why invest in australia when you struggle to get 6or7% return and hope and pray that the market goes up (btw market in victoria is too high, just my opinion).
In usa I am getting 20 and 25% return and capital growth.
Just my 2 cents

We are in need of a good broker.
I did interview a few.
Who knows a broker who really knows their stuff?
We need a broker who knows that rent income from usa properties will count in australia as income!
Thanks

Unfortunately if you never been to the usa it is very difficult to make decisions.
I bought 2 houses in vegas in 2011.
Costs 70000 and 80000 dollars after renovations.
Today they both return approx $25000/year.
Return is great.
in 2011 1au $ = 1.10 $ us
Houses worth today…[Read more]
