Maybe what i can do is to renovate a house, then increase the rent, then i can just wait for a year before i can sell it. So that way, tax wont be much of a pain. Although the down point is that i have to make payments to the bank for a year. This will only be good if it was positively geared.

I still have a long way to go. Im 22 years old and im still saving for a deposit. ($10k) Right now, im just surveying my options.. [^]
Now in that topic, they said they made a profit of $11,678 .
IT all sounds good until you actually deduct it off with the dreaded TAX [}]
So it looks like the couple actualy made a loss cause the stamp duty and CGT is 5% of the sale price Isnt it?? (which is more than the profit they made)
Correct me if im wrong, but this is a silly example to show to people who are getting ready to do renovations to make a quick profit as a starting strategy [!]
After a hard research, i found some potential suburbs to look into. The real trick for making a succesful renovation is when you buy the property after doing a lot of research.(it must be a great deal) Another thing is to KEEP TO YOUR BUDGET. So many people end up spending more which in return becomes over capitalised. So far i need to read more books in this while saving up for a deposit. Right now, im studying interior design so im sure this will help.
Are there anyone out there with experience with renovations??
