Barefoot Investors Advice re Property

"My opinion on traditional Aussie housing hasn't changed one iota: I still firmly believe that most investment properties bought today are a trap. Their prices are too high and their returns too low to justify the dangerous debt burden needed to 'get in the property game'. That fact is backed up by the Australian Tax Office's latest figures, which show that, despite collecting $28 billion in rents last year, Australia's landlords still reported a $4.8 billion loss. Less than four in ten property investors made any money last year." Source: Barefoot Investor
