LANDLORD GUIDE
This APOA guide is general community education for landlords. It is not legal, financial, or tax advice. Please check current state rules and seek qualified advice for your own situation.
Negative gearing happens when the costs of holding an investment property exceed the rental income, and the loss may be used to reduce other taxable income.
It can reduce tax pressure while holding a property, but it should not be the reason for buying a property.
Long-term investment goals should still focus on asset quality, cash flow, risk, and growth potential.
