For those seeking it, neutral or positive cashflow is a possibility, even in the capital cities, something we haven't seen for a long time.
The cashflow outcome is also a function of the type of loan (interest-only loans are often favoured by investors, where available), the size of the deposit, and the type of property being purchased (properties built later may attract more depreciation deductions, for example).
This shifting dynamic will likely see the return of property investors in 2021.
