Yeah, but with a good commercial propery rates would have to go higher than 10% before you even have to worry about being negatively geared, while the same isn't true for single family residential (which is what everyone is doing).. if you are really conservative put 30% down, and you won't be negative unless rates go above 12% or so. With 30% down you'll still make about 20%/yearly
