What is positively geared? 

A positively geared property is an investment that brings in more income than the expenses associated with owning it. In other words, the rent you receive from tenants is higher than the mortgage repayments, maintenance costs, and other expenses related to the property. This means you make a profit each month. 

What tax implications are there with positively geared properties? 

As an income generating asset, you will need to pay taxes on the profits made on your positively geared investment property. With this said, you can deduct certain expenses related to the property, such as mortgage interest and maintenance costs when calculating the taxable income. 

How is a positively geared property different from a negatively geared property? 

Put simply, a positively geared property earns more rental income than the expenses of owning it, so you make a profit each month. On the other hand, a negatively geared property earns less rental income than the expenses, so you make a loss each month.
