This is a short list of some of the advantages of Property Investing

• Banks will lend 80%, 90%, 95% for a residential property, some banks will lend up to 105%
• Worst case scenario, banks will lend 70% for residential property (Pure Asset Finance)
• In Australia you will receive a tax benefit for negative gearing to ‘buffer’ short term losses
• Potential to claim depreciation (paper losses) – this will increase your ‘buffer’
• Statistically, Australian property price doubles every 7-10 Years [ 1][ 2] – Could It Be Inflation?
• Everybody needs a place to live (one of the four basic necessity in life)
• Will the bubble last? – Maybe/Maybe Not
