You might want to read this article I adapted from something Steve McKnight previously wrote:https://www.propertyinvesting.com/negative-gearing. It’s fairly in depth.

The short answer… The only way to profit through a negative gearing strategy is for all homes in the same area to go up in value (generic growth). Because we can’t predict the future, it is a speculative approach.

Some people that I’ve mentored admit that they’ve gotten very lucky buying at the right place at the right time. Others not so lucky and are trying to unwind their mistakes. We try to teach people to be much more outcome focused and design a strategy that will take them to their goal. It’s a more active and intelligent approach.

Hope that makes sense :-)

Interesting article.
Would you please explain “..a negatively geared investor has little-to-no control over the investing outcome. This strategy amounts to little more than a gamble on the future direction of the market.” further?

I am not sure I understand it completely. Would be grateful if you’d elaborate, please.

Many thanks,
