(a) Buy an investment property with low expected future capital gains and high rental income, funded using a low proportion of debt (mortgage loan);

(b) Rent the investment property to a tenant;

(c) Negative gearing is achieved when the property investment’s annual taxable profit is negative, due to the loan’s interest expense being greater than the net rent (rental revenue less the renting expenses such as maintenance);
