John Smith,
Quote:

It is not up to landlords to subsidise for those that cannot afford ... that's govt.s job.

It's actually the landlords who have to increase rent to pay the tax on the income they get for rents.

The Federal Government's high taxes have caused rents to increase.

that must be it ..... not

most investment properties are negatively geared and you save more tax than what you pay ... good attempt though Bobby, keep trying.

how predictable... now you say the ABS are wrong because they disagree with YOU. It's a bit hard to take anything you say seriously with that approach.

so why aren't you buying when according to you, property prices always rise in australia ?

How come you always knock back a great opportunity to make some easy money flipping properties ?

How come ?

ah.. poor old deflecto-nail. couldnt address a topic if he life depended on it.

all because the ABS says so Grin

so why aren't you buying dickhead ?

surely you can't lose Grin

you dont beleive ANYONE other than your self.

probably explains your perpetual life failure.

says he who borrows against his own home and risks it on a hair brained business venture but won't take his own financial advice and buy property which apparently you can't lose on. Go figure !!

there is a difference between knowing a good deal, and being able to afford a good deal ..

this is one of the few times I agree with longy, but because of other commitments, I cannot buy either ... I wish I could . In fact, my wife and I were discussing just the other day whether we could refinance and restructure our business and private debts so as to be able to take advantage of the declining market ...

SOB

the figures showing prices going up are a natioanl average based on sales figures for the last month or two ... sure, in a country the size of australia it's not a uniform movement, and there are areas that are not going up .. but overall, average prices are going up.

Your assumption that they are making it up is based on the fact that you are unable to sell some derelict home in some hole in the middle of woop woop where no one wants to live ...

I know who's conclusions I'll believe

Well, Longy. You'll have to excuse me but I do have a personal axe to grind here.

In December 2008, my 80 year old aunt and I (I was 51 at the time) were private renting (at $215 a week).

We had a call from the landlord saying he was going to increase the rent to $300-$350 a week.

The reason? A scumbag real estate agent was trying to get him to sell (again) and when he said "no", the estate agent asked how much rent he was getting and when the landlord said "$215 a week" the agent said "Oh, you should be getting a lot more than that" (because every other landlord in the area was, apparently).

And, by the way... the place had been paid off for years.

We managed to get the landlord to settle for $300 a week but the message basically was: "If you can't pay it then you're out on the street". Nice. Especially for an 80 year old lady.

We applied for public housing the next day and, fortunately, we only had to wait two and a half years (got it in mid 2011). Fortunate because the landlord was about to sell the place anyway (because his 'financial advisor' advised him to). And, the rent was still $300 a week when we moved out but he was planning to increase it to $400+ if he hadn't sold.

Carl D , 10 posts and you're already calling him longy. please identify yourself Cheesy

hes one of those ALP-paid socks that were reported yesterday. its just another ID from the same small crowd.

Reply #36 - Feb 12^th, 2013 at 3:38pm I hope this is the case, I have decided to sell this year given I cannot see myself returning to Australia. I'd like to think I'll get at least $200k more than I paid.

just because your business venture failed doesnt mean everyone else's done. I take risks - measured risks - and like everyone else I need seed capital. At least I have a home still. You never have.

Bobby, you wondered why you come across as simple a lot of the time.

This is one of those examples as to why.

"they" do not determine anything.

When they say prices are going up or stabilising, it's being based on several quarters worth of sales results.

It's called reporting of market trends.

Seriously, do you have to question everything just because you don't understand it??

I know many people who own investment flats who have had to
put up their rents because they were being chased for tax.
