• Cash Flow Positive

 

You have a cash flow positive investment if the incomings

are more than your outgoings after tax-deductible items 

have been claimed. 

You receive more rent than your mortgage payments,

plus you are still ahead after taking into account items

such as interest on the loan, maintenance, insurance,

land tax, rates etc.

 

• Negatively Geared

 

This is where the incomings are less than your outgoings

after all tax deductions have been claimed.

 

• Positively Geared

 

This occurs when the investment income exceeds your

interest expense (and other possible deductions).
