Ok, it may be a small tax, but it's just more red tape. Why not just increase the stamp duty amount a little instead if they are that desperate for more money? It's not necessarily a tax on investors either, because it is paid up front. Therefore, if your investment ends up being no good, you make a loss on your investment and still have paid the tax! Is this only a NSW state tax? This is just ridiculous, to add another tax on purchasing property!

I also see the 'renter-investors' using this strategy as also a way to maintain flexibility in living locations and lifestyles. Instead of being tied to the one home and one lifestyle, renting allows people to chase various lifestyles(beach,city etc) or, perhaps job opportunities in other countries or, other locations. The 'renter-investor' strategy provides people peace-of-mind that they do have a home in need and that one day they can enjoy the equity that the apartment hopefully brings.
