    The 40% taken from capital profit sounds like the new shared equity loans that Adelaide bank has introduced where they invest 20% and take 40% of your capital gain when you sell. These are for first home buyers and there is a limited amont of money being released.

    Some lenders do not like HDT so double check with any lenders if HDT is ok with them.

    Tass . Check with your existing bank if you will be charged a fee for refinancing your mortgage away from them.
    Ask the broker what fees the lender is going to charge you to set up a loan. Are the establishment fees deferred or upfront. What time frame is there for the deferred fees to not be charged if you break the loan.
    Is the broker a member of the MFAA, COSL (odbudsman) and do they have professional indemnity insurance will the broker disclose to you what commissions he/she will get paid from the lenders. Tell your existing bank you want to know what it will cost to refinance away from them as a mortgage broker just rang you up and ask the mortgage broker what is the best interest rate and is it an introductory interest rate for one year or two years or three years. Ask what monthly bank fees are you going to pay. Ask the broker is he/she going to offer you an offset account and ask them how it works.

    In Victoria the landlord pays for the water rates and the tenant only pays the excess water component. I would think the excess water component would be impossible to measure in this situation.
    I would think that the body corporate would have to get permission from the water company if it wanted to install seperate meters.
    As the meter reader would have to read each individual meter.
    I know of a strata title lot of units that has one main meter and then has individual meters for each unit.

    You could go to the troyandbec property investor meetings they cost $5 and learn about property investing and see some presentations from time to time from results participants. There will be another meeting in April or buy their filmed meetings.
    I think it was on the 16th lookout for the next posting for April about a week before actual meetings. You could get added to their mailing list.
    Look for the address from this months posting https://www.propertyinvesting.com/forum/topic/27503.html
    about the march meeting that has already occurred.

    look into doing a family pledge on part of your equity. Look into if lenders will be ok with you gifting her part of the money and will see it as geniune savings for her home loan.

    If the income from the investment property is less than the expenses incurred for the investment property you are making a loss or breaking even. This loss can be negatively geared against other income (rent from other properties or a wage) thus reducing your tax assessable income. If breaking even you won’t pay income tax on the rental income.
    If the investment rental income is more than the expenses incurred you will pay tax and might be expected to fill in an individual activity Statement with the ATO.
    The marginal tax rate will determine if negative gearing is worth doing.
    You should talk to an accountant to get specific advice based on your situation and whether it is worth doing.

    A Drawback is when you sell you will be liable on the investment property for capital gains tax if you make a capital gain.

    Do not Borrow money for a house you will live in and then rent your old home out and try and claim a tax deduction it is not tax deductible and this will be picked up by the ATO

    When I was dong my commerce degree I had to do a business plan for an uni assignment. The most important feature in a business plan is easy to read graphs. So you need to project your expected earnings over a number of years based on an assumption that you will grow your business by xx% per year. You can get a good idea of what needs to go into a business plan by searching the net for business plans to get ideas of what has to go
    into a business plan.

    Also mention to the lender what you expect the rental income for the investment property will be as lenders will add a portion of this into the servicability calculations. If you have large credit limits on your credit cards that are not being used you will reduce your servicability. Also any amount owed on other loans will affect servicability.

    There is a risk of receiving an Audit if your low doc income declaration varies from your business income declared to the ATO.
    The ATO has a computer system called AUSTRAC that cross checks the data so there is an element of risk that they may ask the bank for a copy of your income declaration information. By law your lender would have to provide this information if the ATO asked for it.
    Also what year are you looking at as the ATO can go back several years after the event now or into the future.

    You can read all about the audit on the ATO web site
