    What is the most effective way to set up group ownership of property for superannuation/investment purposes. We have 3 couples interested in developing an investment properties portfolio, all of whom are in the highest tax brackets. Do we set up a Trust, Partnership, Company???
    All suggestions gratefully received!

    I would suggest yo uexamine a trust.

    Best to see an accountant specialising in this area. I can recommend one in Sydney if you email me. I get no kickback from him.

    Every partnership I deal with of more than 2 Directors or partners I find that sooner or later they have disagreements about which direction to take, usually resulting in a breakdown in the company or partnership.

    Make sure you all want to go in the same direction.

    That said, I would consider a Partnership of trusts. This way you could make a group decision while keeping each individual investment seperate.

    Not my area of speciality though as I like to keep away from large groups for reasons stated above.

    Good luck

    hi DBlackB
    post what state your in.
    If sydney I can give you a couple of accountants that can organise trust to do what you require.
    you will need a unit trust with multiple trusts under.
    This is not uncommon and gives flexibility for separate trusts investing in separate projects.
    work with speciatist accountants for this field.

    here to help
