Real Estate in Australia

There is no hotter topic over a dinner or barbeque than real estate in Australia. Everyone has an oppinion and wants to share it.

And no wonder we all have a love relationship with property. It is one of the tools to build wealth.

People buy their first home, start paying the mortgage and build equity. When the value of the property increases many refinance and buy an investment property. Or two. Or as many as their income can service.

But investing in Australian real estate is not for the faint-hearted. The prices are high and in most cases the monthly rents do not cover the cost of the loan. This means the property is negatively geared.

How do people invest in property if the rents are lower than the interest they pay to the bank?

Because well chosen property increases its value over time and the profit at sale can be very nice.
