What is wrong with you, I just showed you how people can buy a property for the tax advantage.

Obviously you have to buy it to rent it out. But that doesn't actually answer the question, does it? Let me demonstrate how to give a straight answer:

This is my answer:

If I owned a rental property, I would not deliberately forgo the rental income because I am not an idiot.

Would you like to have a go?

What arrogance.

My wife and I worked our butts off to be in a position we could have spare money and back up if required. We have done our work and do not wish to keep trying to get every penny we can. We are happy to just have our money parked somewhere and not have to worry anymore.

And you think you can call me an idiot for doing that, well bugger you pal.

Yes - I know 2 landlords who both had to pay out around $22,000
to fix up their places after they rented them out.
They actually made a loss on their rentals.
In one case there were dog turds imbedded in the carpet and considerable damage.
All the carpets had to be replaced in both and a lot more than that.

One sold his place after fixing it up and the other is still holding on to it without renting it out
as it wasn't worth allowing it to be wrecked again by tenants.
Now the Victorian Govt wants land tax for unoccupied houses so he might sell it now.

I stand corrected. You should vote Green, so they can tax you for choosing not to rent out your property.

People who can't distinguish between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I cannot put into words.

Call it whatever you want:
communism, socialism, Marxism -

under those principles you don't really own any property -
the state owns it -
under Stalin - the communists actually stole your entire property
and gave it to "deserving" communist party officials.
The highest officials would live in the largest mansions while their real owners were sent to the Gulags.

It's been watered down now so that you pay rent to live on your "own" property.
A farmer friend of mine was charged $3,500 for water landing on his own property by a rural council
during a drought in 2007 when there was no water.
People in large waterfront properties pay enormous rates
and so does any business in a prime area - St Kilda waterfront etc.
Many councilors get very rich out of it - you know "party" officials.
