Victoria the ‘worst state’ to be a property investor

Sky News host Rita Panahi has slammed the Victoria Jacinta Allan government for sending a “clear message to property investors”.
“The Jacinta Allan government has a clear message to property investors; you’re not welcome here,” Ms Panahi said.
“Victoria is considered the worst state to be a property investor with one in four landlords selling a property last year.
“No wonder rents are skyrocketing in Melbourne.
"This is what happens when you have mad neo-Marxist activists who have never held a job outside of politics and the union movement fail their way up into senior roles within the state Labor government.”

[@liamconvey3549]

more property investors fleeing the market is a good thing. This means more people can buy these properties to live in while improving their own financial stability and reducing the need for rentals. This will reduce home values and in turn make rents more affordable.I don't see home values actually dropping though because neither party will want to do anything to improve affordability because it will be unpopular with voters who already own a house Both the Labor and liberal parties are equally useless.

STOP demonising property investors. Show some empathy. Help the property investors. These investments ARE good for the economy. One of the biggest reasons why 'tenants' struggle is not because of the property investor but because of these skyrocketing expectations. In all honesty, you pass 100% of the cost to the investor, and about 10-15% of it gets passed over to the tenant. The remaining the investor has to bear. Now, it has become a huge liability investing in property. A property investor goes through a lot of bad land developers, builders and tradies, at times bad property managers, then increased regulations and taxes. Please think holistically. A property investor gets demonised all the time. People who are jealous of the property investors really need to educate themselves. Stop being jealous. Start saving. You are not being driven out of the property market. The taxes are way too high. How do you think a property investor was able to 'save'? A property investor has had several sleepless nights, empty stomachs, extra shifts, to save and finally afford a property to secure a financial future. There are a few bad property investors but there are also a few bad tenants.

We don't use our on-suite bathroom any more due to the time it takes for the hot water to materialise. Washing up water the same. I end up boiling the jug. This is in a house only 3 years old. Have instantaneous gas hws, bloody useless as far as l am concerned. So if you want to save water, lessen the time it takes for the hot to come through from the hws. You would save thousands of litres of water per house hold per year.

The hot water pipe line maybe oversized, your control box in hwu setting too low or your tempering valve temperature set to low. Thanks Donny DCF Plumbing

greatest idea to reduce power bill - change gas HWS to electrical. 100% plan.

[@johnhoward8851]

You mean 100% plan to double your power bills ?

[@antontsau]

@@johnhoward8851 Yes. Reliable as Swiss watch.

I guess we’re all somehow trying to survive financially in this 🌍. I hope I can complete studies or find work after getting poisoned? I am still suffering from my poisoned symptoms since last year 2023! New Zealand is not a safe country anymore. I was born and raised in New Zealand 🇳🇿 and I got poisoned in Wellington and I’m back in Auckland now? Stay safe. && Take care. & God bless 🤎💛🤍🖤🙏

Victoria is a comedy sketch, the Victorian voters have voted for there own demise, hilarious

[@dominictucci6030]

Too many lefty socialist dickheads in Victoria.

[@johnhoward8851]

It is only hilarious if you don't live there. It is beyond tragic for people who live there and didn't vote labour.

[@rossalynsmith5253]

Why would you live in WOKE VICTORIA. You would be mad to do it.

Real estate has always been a second-rate asset class, compared to shares and now crypto. Everyone should aim to own their own home. But this should be achieved with proceeds from actual assets. Taking out a mortgage and paying it off with your salary is not intelligent. Edit: Just open up more land for housing. We don't all need or want to live in capital cities. Anyway, more housing brings down property prices in large cities, as a side-effect.

[@twowheelsandcroissant]

my rent literally increased 35% in 2 years

[@dominictucci6030]

You can thank the Labor government for that. Any extra taxes or financial implications to rental providers will inevitably be passed on to tenants.

[@anthonyszy7191]

You can thank Phillip Lowe for %30 and the vic Govt for the %5

[@womp6338]

Melbourne is now cheaper than Brisbane so I guess they are doing something right. Rita rent-seeker just wants more money.

[@henribuhagiar9445]

Yep

[@tomjones4451]

Good! then property price won’t go up in price…

[@keirenle]

Property prices still lower than q1 2022 in melbourne. Clearance rates below 60%, prices coming down. This has to happen in all states so the younger generations can buy a house. Government need to mass build build to rent high rise appartments to bring rents down on houses

[@KT-bb1tb]

That's because there are a Lot of People Leaving Victoria !

[@lukeread180]

​@KT-bb1tb good. Mark my words, each state will copy this land tax bill

Are you aware that the Govt Sector workforce, the public sector elite ruling class socio-economic group, the emerging Aust aristocracy our govts are fostering (slowly being introduced to the world in all of its snout trough gouging glory) are heavily heavily over-represented in rental property ownership? And indulging in the benefits of ABN & ACN's (in some responsible countries all of what Ive pointed out is Banned area of activity for public/civil servants)? On an earnings gearing against the private sector of 1:1.60 (govt sector not including military, average annual income)? Do ya think there's nothing wrong?
