I have recently retired with four properties other than our home. In this situation I cannot offset property tax deductions against income other than rent and the properties are still cash flow negative. I am currently funding the shortfall using the account-based pension from my SMSF though my investment advisor has recommended selling one of the properties to reduce debt so that the three remaining properties become cash flow positive. Sounds sensible to me though we would forego the likely growth in equity over coming years. Is there any other strategy that is safe and sensible? The properties are all of high quality in inner Melbourne.
