What is the 2% rule for an investment property?
The 2% rule, is a rule of thumb that is used as a general guideline for determining how much you should pay to buy an investment property. The main idea is to only buy properties that produce monthly rent of at least 2% of the purchase price, this would then be considered as a good investment. Anything below 2% would suggest the asset is not worth buying. The 2% rule is only a general guide, it cannot stand on its own as an indicator of how good an investment property actually is. It does not tell you anything about the property's condition, location, net rental income, cash on cash return, cap rate, or appreciation.

What is Negative gearing?
Negative gearing means that the cost of owing and maintaining your investment property outweighs the rental income it generates. The difference is therefore a loss that can be claimed as a tax deduction, which reduces tax on your salary or overall income.
What is Positive gearing?
Positive gearing means that the income from your investment property exceeds your interest expenses and other deductions. This means that you may need to pay additional tax on the income derived from your investment property.
What is the difference between negative and positive gearing?
Positive gearing means your property is positively geared if the income from your investment is more than your interest payments and outgoings like maintenance and repair costs. Negatively gearing is when your property is negatively geared if the income from your investment is less than your interest payments and outgoings.
Why invest in property instead of the stock market?
Property can be less volatile than other investments. To put simply, property is considered more stable and less risky. When you have an asset such as a share or stock, the value changes often, so this would be considered a riskier investment.
