Negative Cash Flow Property
A negative cash flow property, or what is often called a negatively geared property, is when your income is less than the sum of all your expenses – or in other words, the rent does not cover all of your costs.
This structure can offer a number of tax benefits in the form of tax deductions and is popular among investors that are making the most of capital gains. Your investment strategy will depend on your income and it is very important to talk to your accountant about the right structure for you.
