South Melbourne Property Meeting Group – Thursday 1st August

Welcome to the South Melbourne Property Meeting Group.

My name is Tony Lambrianos and I facilitate the South Melbourne & Bulleen Property Meeting Groups. I am a full-time property investor, entrepreneur, educator and mentor. My role as facilitator is to organise monthly networking events, and invite great property experts and experienced property investors to share valuable property information with you as guest speakers. There is no selling at these meeting just great information sharing.

This can be a great way to expand your skills, gain introductions to high quality industry professionals (mortgage brokers, accountants, solicitors, property subdivision consultants, etc), and develop camaraderie with likeminded property investors who have pracical knowledge in implementing different strategies!

It doesn’t matter whether you are new to property investing or experienced, the meetings absolutely cater for everyone.

I invite you to come to our property meet up and EXPERIENCE our group for yourself – I guarantee you’ll LOVE it!

— TOPIC: Essential Tax Saving Secrets You MUST Know As A Property Investor —

This month we have chartered and property accountant Brent McCartney from DFK Benjamin King Money come and talk to us about ALL things accounting when it comes to property.

PLUS

AWESOME GIFT: We will be giving away an awesome property investing gift from our sponsors on the night valued $199 – but you need to be there to get it!

Brent will discuss all accounting issues when purchasing a property for investment including choosing the correct structure to hold a property.

This can be as simple as purchasing it in individuals’ names, to setting up a taxation structure like a Company or Trust for the property.

A number of factors that should be taken into account include:
• Tax Minimisation on the property’s eventual sale,
• Potential immediate Tax Benefits of the property’s gearing,
• the risk involved with the property and
• whether asset protection is an issue

Brent will also touch on the following related issues:
• Tax cuts: How tax rates are changing in the new financial year, and who stands to benefit the most;
• Depreciation: How new depreciation rules affect what you can claim on your investment properties;
• Capital Gains Tax: When the CGT discount will or won’t apply to the sale of a property;
• Goods and Services Tax: What determines when GST will apply to a property transaction;
• The new GST withholding rules that apply to developments (including the responsibilities of the buyer and the seller);
• Accounting and Taxation tips for investors and property developers

You do NOT want to miss this meetup!

Brent will also share some real life examples from his client base where the accounting and related structures worked and did not work, as well as answering any questions from the floor throughout the night.

Bring your questions and have them answered!
