Article is technically about the Gold Coast, but hopefully this will also apply to Brisbane.

A point of correction: the ABC's author said BCC last week announced a 50% increase in rates for short term accommodation. They announced that last year. Last week they announced they're increasing that from 50% to 65%.

"Landlord reveals he owns almost 300 properties in talkback radio call".

Can you imagine how this guy is feeling...

Owns, or has 300 mortgages?

If he's owned them for more than a couple of years then he's in the black regardless.

He never said. Websearch the quote.

He worked hard to buy his first house at 17 so I'm sure he owns at least one.
