Treasurer Jim Chalmers said ‘there are too many properties empty around Australia’ as tight supply leaves many renters struggling to find somewhere to live.
I’m aware of who but not why. Are they just letting them sit there until the prices rise ( I know that doesn’t take too long)? Or is there another reason?
yes ,becuase the house prices in Australia rise so fast it’s actully profitable to buy one outright (if you can afford it) and literally let it sit empty for 5 years ,sell it again and make hundreds of thousands and sometimes millions of dollars.
The when system (of capitalism) is ethically bankrupt and downright disgusting. Houses should be for homes, not profits.

That’s usually the reason and the possibility of getting a citizenship (depending on what country the property is in it can help).
Money. The reason is always money.
