Rents were neither locked in nor guaranteed. They were reviewed according to the market, and on one occasion, I appealed and won a rise in rent.
Having had a great success with a negatively geared property with solid growth, I wouldn't have much patience with people poo pooing me on a strategy which has already done well, and one which, as a newbie investor at the time, was very secure and worry free.
Agreed.
Just listening to her lately and she bangs on about DHA/NRAS calling theme "schemes" and then lumps them with rental guarantees and then by association they are therefore bad.
Just frustrating.
