ATO Data on IP Ownership - The Truth

Correct. Often shown as a single property. We see this GFs, duplexes, townhouses/ villas and even multi units in a block. eg Units 1-3 24 Smith Street. And Airbnb income is another quandry that skews some data. Then throw in trusts, companies, SMSFs and even managed trusts like Domacom and its a curve ball.

ATO data isnt perfect. But when comapring on a timeline it can indicate some good data trends. The cause and effect issues may be misleading too eg - How much of the neg gearing was due to non-cashflow deductions ?? Is it rising or falling at the same rates as rents ?

 

but financial analyst believe in something called opportunity cost,
that's the whole argument for using current market value to calculate yield.

while in property u have stuff like stamp duty, other countries / assets do not have them.!
