Rick Otton Discusses Turning Negatively Geared Property into Cashflow Machines
(PRWEB) October 27, 2013 -- “Many Aussies keep negatively geared property because of the large tax exemptions it awards to investors, but all of that’s about to change if changes on negative gearing laws will be approved,” said Rick Otton, renowned property investment millionaire.
A recommendation from the Renovating Housing Policy report urges lawmakers to change existing rules on negative gearing and capital gains tax exemptions, the Australian Property Investor reported on 22 October 2013. If the proposals are approved than this means property investors could no longer subtract the losses of their rental properties from their annual income tax.
“The current rules on negative gearing has made it impossible for property investors to make a profit out of their investments, because they would have to lose money with their business first before they can qualify for the tax deductions. What’s more, the deductions will only be applied to investment property which will be sold in 10 years,” said Mr. Otton in an interview for this upcoming Newcastle property seminar.
“Rather than depending on future estimates and events to get profit, it’s better to focus on things which you can control right now like creating cash flow for your investment property,” Mr. Otton recommended.
Mr.Otton then discussed that the current property market has been so volatile and unpredictable after the global financial crisis, that’s why it’s better to focus on creating cash flow instead of future capital gains.
“Getting your cash now will always be the better and safer option, rather than, waiting and hoping for a higher return on your investment, which may not ever arrive in this kind of market. This type of system relies on the belief or hope that the value of investment property doubles every 8 or 9 years, but since it’s impossible to predict future market movements, waiting for capital gains is like throwing your money in the garbage now.” He shared.
