Most Kiwis think property should “pay for itself”… but what if it doesn’t?
In this episode, Ed and Andrew break down what negative gearing actually means, why many properties cost you money each week, and whether that still makes them a good investment.
You’ll learn:
- What negative gearing really is – and why most investors misunderstand it
- The 6 key reasons your rent might not cover your costs (even if the deal looks good)
- How you can still make money from a property that loses cash each week
