The Inconvenient Truth About Property Investing In Australia!

Whilst Property investing in Australia can deliver long‑term gains, investing does carry real, measurable costs and risks. In addition, taxpayer‑borne tax concessions are worth billions annually, rising with interest rates and rising borrowing costs have pushed hundreds of thousands into mortgage stress. And returns are uncertain, for example when strata levies rise on units, or sudden price corrections can erase expected returns. Last week I ran a live show with bRight Agents founder Aaron Scott, and I included analysis on net investment yield across the country, which rattled a few cages, as I showed that according to my analysis many property investors are going backwards in cash flow terms. As one comment after the show said – why is not one talking about this? So today I wanted to unpack this a little more and talk about some of the inconvenient truths relating to property. The TLDR summary, is this: Despite the myth that Property is a safe, passive asset. Reality: Ongoing active management, cash‑flow buffers for rates/levies, and local market risk are essential. Not all investments work, and many are indeed underwater. And the other point is that while many believe Negative gearing a smart strategy and represents a small giveaway. Reality: It costs taxpayers billions annually and the benefits are concentrated among higher‑income owners. If you are buying your home in Sydney’s contentious market, you do not need to stand alone.
