Thanks for all the feedback, especially you Steve.

I’m still a little confused as to why you just couldn’t register a ABN and run it like any business. This would be a lot cheaper than setting up a company or trust and would it be possible to claim all the renovations as expenses. Also you or your partner could become an employee of the business which would help in qualifying for finance with the banks. Am i on the right track here or have i missed something.

Thanks,

Dean
