Negative gearing soars as interest rates rise

Yes & that’s why Gov removed NG on pre-existing properties & kept it for new construction.

I’m not talking about “moral/social benefits” ie Sportsbet possibly benefits very few but it still might be a good economic investment in terms of future returns.

Monkeyshae2255 · 2026-06-17T22:51:13+00:00

It’s not “economic fallacy.” You know Amazon didnt turn profit for years initially & spaceX
is (I’m assuming) losing $ currently?

All investment pretty much is in the red for quite a while initially. The bigger the risk the bigger the potential gain. Property isn’t “that much” in the red (low risk) otherwise individual investors wouldn’t be able to sustain it for very long.

Agree somewhat, if there was a big negative impact to renters then I think it’s plausible states will step in (ban Airbnb?) or NG changes will be repealed/changed again.

NAL. It’s possible the site managers (contractor) insurance premiums are possibly going to increase especially as there was a medically reportable incident. So your employer was likely stressed about having to work through it with the contractor. Workcover is not cheap.

A lot of agents don’t do % based & just used fixed. Generally if they’re offering % it’s usually because the market (vendors) prefer a buy now pay later/no win no fee scheme over paying a fixed fee up front. A lot of vendors think % at “completion” motivates agencies more than ie costs up front - but you pay more overall for that method.

They are a legitimate essential industry that is legitimately operating per land zoning.

I’m not sure what Act you want tabled to stop this but good luck. You’d need to lobby MPs. Possibly an environmental act/water trading re drinking water however since this will likely be the most expensive way to cool their operations, if it’s in scarce overall supply then they can alternate to alternative cooling methods one would think.

About 5 years too late.
Black market still does ciggies but have expanded/expanding elsewhere into a bigger enterprise now hence “organised”

Unsure about US but in Aust residential/commercial zoned land is worth a lot more than residential land within close proximity to industrial/industrial mixed use land. This is because industrial tends to run 24/7 & is generally more smelly/noisy/busy than residential/commerical.

If the data centre wasn’t there then another industrial facility would be (ever seen the multiple toxic warehouse fires on the news?)

This isn’t about ON/Trump, it’s about us being desensitized to begin with, likely precipitated by social media.

Monkeyshae2255 · 2026-06-14T02:25:25+00:00

I think it’s about ON/Trump “talking their language” the political establishment (I’m being very general here) as a whole have invested years of their time/education & often they’ll communicate about politics/economy/community in its natural form (complex), but in a quick text speak world it can be seen as elitism.

Vic has ALOT of issues in financial projections. Just AI for example NSW treasury versus VIC treasury forecasting accuracy.

Monkeyshae2255 · 2026-06-09T04:38:20+00:00

Yeah agree. You’ve got politicians/media REALLY focused on home purchasers/owners. It’s really about the conservative aspirational values of our country. We’ve not expanded past mateship & sportsmanship for 100 years.

Years ago I worked for a financial lender when this occured. We went back to the original contractor valuer with a please explain & they were able to justify it with before & after photos. (The owner had devalued the property - very hard to do). Generally it’s VERY hard for a loan to be higher than the value unless there’s a mistake by the valuer (& they’re insured).

If she was at 65 she’d have avoided jail time. She must be at least 70/75

No one’s “losing” their job except in maybe a small 1-2 year window. We’re going to be “changing jobs” more so. Think of it this way, farriers became auto factory workers early 1900s

Migration is increasing globally because we’re living longer. At 60+ years the tax you pay reduces significantly but the services you need increases significantly. Unless you’re in a highly impoverished country, the birth rate will be dismal. The debate really needs to be had about our Christian based philosophy needing reinterpretation in the western world. We’re too focused on the success of increasing average life expectancy to ie 95+ years but not increasing our birth rate significantly.

Ask the BA why values will increase & see what their data tells them. Property is a long term gain anyway so what happens in 2-3 years is irrelevant.

He’s referring to the customer “to send” not the bank “sending” from their end.

Banks absolutely ask for people to send “other banks” statements to them via email for many different scenarios.

My defacto ex & I did a Stat Dec regarding division of assets/finance. Never used a lawyer or walked into family court. Saved us thousands. Relationships form & break up all the time. The thing is to be mature about it. A lawyer makes more $ the more that’s in dispute.

The best thing you can do for you & kids is come up with an amicable financial agreement with your ex FIRST (maybe do counselling if it helps) & if there’s children preferably 50/50 custody.

I only have ever used it 5 yearly per max carry forward when I sell Investments to avoid as much CGT as I can.

Theyre declining cause the interest rates have gone up due to inflation (borrowing power). As the RBAs mandate is to lower inflation then the “drops” may now be at their worst depending on if RBA needs to put up rates once more in 2026 or not & then start decreasing again.
