Ok i have had some sleep now, i was literaly still travelling back and 40 hour journey with little sleep makes one a bit cranky. Perth to Orlando are pretty much opposite sides of the globe.

And as I said I’m not here to debate tax matters. If you knew that was the case why not say it in your first post instead of trying to make yourself look all high and mighty now. You said nothing in your post except are you sure.

I guess it all depends on your individual situation. When you pay over $100k a year in tax you learn to love the words negative gearing.

The wife and I have been giving this a lot of thought over the last few days, condo v SFR. We have decided to go for just 1 condo close to the beach for our own future use and then the rest SFR.
