    Thanks for your kind reply Sunshine [:D]

    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.

    Hi Guys!

    Thanks for the responses. In regards to the example, its in this url

    https://www.propertyinvesting.com/strategies/renovations

    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 [:(!]

    What do you guys think??

    [:(]

    Aww, no replies..anyway, if anyone can answer these questions, it will surely be appreciated. [:)]

    1. Is there capital gains tax in Queensland? [B)]

    2. Would replacing the whole kitchen be under cosmetic renovations? [:D]

    3. Would renovation costs be deductible when calculating capital gains? [|)]

    4. In the renovation sample in this site, why do they disregard the tax?? (if they add tax, Bill & Sally would actually make a loss!!)

    Pls help this confused soon to be investor. [xx(]

    Many thanks,
    Glenn

    Thanks for the reply Powmow.

    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??
