new2invest replied to the topic Stamp duty on mortgage vs Stamp duty on the purchase in the forum General Property 10 years, 2 months ago
Thank you all for the quick replies
So to sum up.
– Stamp duty charged by the state is NOT deductible
– Stamp duty charged on mortgage or LMI is deductible over 5 years.
new2invest started the topic Stamp duty on mortgage vs Stamp duty on the purchase in the forum General Property 10 years, 2 months ago
What is the difference between Stamp Duty on Mortgage and Stamp Duty on Purchase?
Scenario:
IP – 400K
Stamp Duty – 20K
LMI – 10K
conveyancing $1k
In the above scenario, can I claim Stamp duty + LMI + Conveyancing?

Thank You all.
Loan has now been Split.
Got depreciation report done as well and came at 14700.
Loan structured to claim 100%.

new2invest replied to the topic Financing 2nd IP – how does it work? in the forum Creative Investing 13 years, 1 month ago
I heard from people at work
According to the ATO, if you can provide proof of any cost you incur towards your investment property, should be fine to claim.
In otherwords i should be able to claim 100% even if I have deposited 10% (redraw from PPOR) and bank lend me 90%
Investment loan + deposit = 100% clamaible for as long as you can provide…[Read more]

Hi Guys
Interestingly the same day I posted this post i was considering 90% or even 95% cause I didnt want to use my PPOR as security, I call my mobile lender to work out on some figures/options that I had. Settlement is still 3 weeks away. I have already put down my 10% deposit ($51700) and decided to go 95% and not use PPOR as security.

I have been reading about PIT (Property Investment Trust) from Ed Chan book.
Any thoughts on that? Anyone using such a trust.
I rang them yesterday and i gotta book 3 weeks in advance to talk to someone and the cost is $300/hr.
So before I pay that $300 would be good to hear more from people who’s using PIT.
Thank You all for your thoughts so far.

@Shape and @Terryw thanx for the valuable info.
I read about Trust etc….but dont really want to get into that right now considering it’s my first IP.
I’ll just make an appointment with a property accountant to go over this.
I also look in the contract for the “Tenants in common’ can’t find it.
My next step is visit an accountant and see what…[Read more]

Hi All
Just wondering if Phillip Island would be a good investment for the long term.
Properties have gone up in prices over the last 6 years and thinking what it would be like in the next 10 years.
Your thoughts?
