Property Investors

Property investment is a tried-and-true investment option that’s historically proven to be more stable and more predictable than many other investments. Overall property values rarely fluctuate like the stock market can, and most often increase, so you’ll likely benefit from a good return on your investment and stable cash flow from incoming rent payments.  

Australian citizens and Permanent Residents can buy investment properties, but international visa holders may need to follow a different process. Please read the FAQs on the Australian Government Foreign Investment Review Board website.

Yes. Using the equity from a home that you already own may mean that you won’t need a deposit to fund the purchase of your investment property. Instead, your existing home’s equity may be used.

Your equity – the difference between your home’s market value and the balance of your mortgage – is likely to have increased over the years you’ve owned your home.

Negative gearing is when the cost of owning your rental property is more than the income it generates each year. This means your property becomes a taxable loss, which can then often be offset against your other income streams, like your salary. This can mean significant tax savings for you.

Conversely, positive gearing means your property generates income that exceeds the costs of your property and other possible deductions. This means you may need to pay additional tax on your investment property.
