Thanks for the comments guys.No centrelink payments were received.So if I did not receive any income for the tax year, I will be taxed 0% on the $50K? – So no tax?Or am I missing something….

Thanks for your response guys.I would have based my calculations on a 100% loan + ALL costs as well. It is quite challenging finding a property that is +CF when considering 100% loan + ALL costs.Just wasn't sure what people mean when they mention that they've found a "bargain" or +CF property, when in reality they've bought it on (using c…[Read more]
