    Hi Amateur,

    Welcome to property investing and enjoy your stay here.

    To answer your questoin,

    Positivly Geared – The property has enough rental income to look after itself, by this it can pay all expenses, and payments due and put money in your pocket at the same time.

    Negativly Geared – The rental income is not enough to cover all cost, so you have to subsidse out of pocket expenses at your own cost.

    cheers

    First thing I would do, and have done is read Steve McKnight’s book. Also read another angle with maybe Jan Somers. This way you can choose your investment strategy.

    These books should answer many of your questions. Or you can pick through these posts although I think the posts are much more valuable after a little education. That’s what i have done anyway.

    Good Luck
