Negative Gearing

What is negative gearing?

Gearing involves borrowing money to invest in resources that generate both income & good growth potential. Negative gearing is when you borrow to invest and the income you earn from your investments is less than the interest you pay on the loan, thus giving you a cash flow shortage. If your investment is negatively geared, you need to have income from other sources to pay your loan promises & asset costs.

Risks associated with negative gearing

When you negatively gear your asset you still record a loss though you are accepting the loss in the short term with the expectancy that your income will surpass your cost and more significantly that your investment will upsurge in value so you can sell it for a capital gain in future.

Reducing the risks of negative gearing

If you decide to invest in negatively geared property then, there are some ideas you can try to reduce the risks.
