Maybe the banks aren't lending.
And so I think the only thing you can control is when you enter and when you exit.
So if you take a long-term view and you can get the money and it suits your risk profile now, that's why you just go ahead and do it.
Or at least be realistic with yourself about what it would take for you to take action.
Because again, otherwise you sit on the sideline.
Yeah.
In fact, I don't feel bad for me because it doesn't really bother me that much.
But I do feel bad for the mum and dad investor who, like you said before, they're probably topping up that property.
They probably don't have a whole lot of cash.
They're probably stressing because the value's gone down.
And they are subsidising people's rent because they're topping up.
And they're putting their assets on the line to be able to get ahead.
And then you get some politicians will come out and basically say landlords are the root of all evil.
And I just don't think that that's true, particularly because the reason they're doing it is because they don't want to rely on the government to provide a superannuation in the future.
And so they're taking matters into their own hand.
there are very good reasons why someone would want to rent.
It's not like if all of a sudden there was no private landlords, everyone would go out and buy a house.
That's just not going to be the case.
And I honestly think part of it is just the way we've framed things politically.
Because if you go back in the past, it wasn't that long ago that the government was actually encouraging people to go and be private landlords because they didn't want to own state houses anymore.
