<p><p>Very few analysts/experts, are reminding people that NOT all landlords are multi-national/mega investors. The majority of us are Mum &amp; Dad investors, who have been hit from ALL sides as to providing ourselves with income during these very difficult times/days. Of the 4 investments that we hold, 3 have been reduced by 1/4 - 1/3, and the other is producing NO income whatsoever. We are not alone, and Mr Morrison hasn&#39;t made life any easier for the likes of us.</p></p><p><a href="">Reply to article</a></p><p>For original story, <a href="">Click Here.</a></p>

<p><p>It&#39;s difficult to feel sorry for someone who owns 4 properties and hasn&#39;t planned for the possibility of as t least half of them being vacant. If you can&#39;t afford to keep those properties, then quit hoarding them and sell 1.</p></p><p><a href="">Reply to article</a></p><p>For original story, <a href="">Click Here.</a></p>

<p><p>I agree with Dan. Barry, I think it&#39;s worth mentioning that NO tenant is a multi-national/mega investor. It&#39;s because we cannot afford to invest in property that there was an available pool of tenants to allow you to float 4 properties in the past. The tenants you have retained are still paying 3/4 - 2/3 of pre-pandemic rental prices, most likely with NO income. If they are receiving govt aid, the majority of it goes towards paying that 3/4-2/3, so it still get into the hands of landlords eventually!</p></p><p><a href="">Reply to article</a></p><p>For original story, <a href="">Click Here.</a></p>

<p><p>RE &quot; ... NO tenant is a multi-national/mega investor ...&quot; You do not know that. Tenants can own investment properties or have large investments in other assets such as shares etc or even super. Id classify governemtn aid as income.</p></p><p><a href="">Reply to article</a></p><p>For original story, <a href="">Click Here.</a></p>
