    Simons analogy of the different motor vehicles is so true.

    For each persons individual circumstances the answer would be different.

    Certainly Superannuation has the most attractive Tax strructure and even if you buy and sell an IP within Super the CGT is less than it would be held personally is you hold for more than 1 year.

    In saying this there are limited gearing opportunities and therefore many people prefer to purchase assets outside of Super as they cannot borrow in the traditional way.

    Like Simon I am in my early 40’s and am lucky enough to have retired and work when i want so for me i look to maximise my Super contributions in order to both protect assets but also enjoy the Tax haven it brings.

    Surely the maximum you will save is the cost of the conveyance ?

    As i say for $350 or so then well i have better things to spend my time that are more profitable. Leave it to the experts and use your skills to generate more income.

    In Qld you are unlikely to find any agent allow that as the deposit is usually an amount to cover the agents commission.

    Sure Ownit can sort it out though.

    Avanti

    That is actually not quiet correct.

    The Trustees formulate the investment decisions not the Auditor and they are the who are responsible for the day to day management.

    The Auditor is only requesired to sign off at year to confirm the compliance of the fund.

    Sue

    If any Accountant suggest a strategy then i would be giving them a wide birth.

    Such a transaction will breach the in house Assets Test under Section 71A SISA. The transition rules for assets purchased prior to 11 Aug 1999 have until 1 July 2009 to unwound.

    Hi,

    I do know of another was to get into property using your super.

    If you are seriously interested send me an email [email protected]

    Regards
    Andrew

    Andrew, why not post it for all to read and comment unless of course as your first post this is an ad for some form of business.

    SMSF can certainly purchase property and i have several properties within my SMSF as well as decent portfolio of shares and the odd instalment warrant.

    Regretfully as has been stated a SMSF cannot purchase units in a UT or indeed purchase a property with a any related party where there is any form of borrowing secured against the Asset.

    Trustee breaches within your SMSF are severe and can carry significant penalties both monetary and criminal.

    Check with a Professional Adviser prior to taking such a course of action.

    Cheers

    I am sure that Bennett & Phillips know what they are talking about but Installment Contracts are a specialised area and we have found over the last 10 year of being involved in providing Vendor FInance that not all Solicitors understand the mechanics.

    Ask them to provide you with a full cost of preparing such a contract as having done over 200 know we find that the costs vary considerably.

    You say advertise, will you be a co-purchaser or are you looking to pool together investors and then find them property.

    The reason is you need to be aware of the Managed Investment Act which deals precisely with this issue.

    Post more information and we might be able to assist you further.

    Try Steve Hodgkinson who is a good friend, business partner and has been my accountant for 12 years.

    He is a partner at the Gold Group in Southport and knows property inside out.

    He can be contacted on 5532 2855 tell him i sent you so you can get past the receiptionist. Most decent Accountants aren’t taking on new clients.

    Might like to do a forum search on the Investors Club as they have appeared in many a previous post.

    I promise you that Kevin & Kathy Young whatever they tell you are not doing it for charity.

    I would use Ownit.

    Ownit are the conveyancing arm of Melville McGregor Solicitors and Leonnie and half of the staff walked out 2 weeks ago to join CSM.

    Neither of the original partners who are both personal friends are there and have sold the business. They are cheap but now so is the service levels.

    Scotty

    What a load of rubbish – i would be ditching him NOW.

    Without knowing all of your details I would suggest that you consider an interest only loan and link it to a 100% offset account.

    If you decide to move and want to retain the property and rent it out you will be able to claim the full interest on the original loan as a deduction and have the flexibility of switching the offset account to the next PPOR.

    Many lenders limit the initial interest only period to 5 / 10 years and then review it subject to the conduct of the account.

    I guess 1 downside would be that if the loan is > than 80% LVR then the LMI premium maybe more expensive under an IO loan rather than P & I.

    Shop around and see what you can find.

    Cheers

    Hi there

    No sure exactly what you mean “claim back settlement fees etc”.

    If however you are referring to the general costs of purchasing i.e Contract stamp duty etc then you can add these to the cost base as well as any improvements when you are calculating CGT on an IP.

    If i am way off the track please redefine your question and we will try and assist further.

    Cheers

    Hi Sandra

    Before you jump down my throat i had nothing to do with amending your post. I didn not even notice it had been amended until recently.

    Ok 2 things.

    1) The loan you mention is available to a range of brokers throughout the Country and is nothing special. Many other lenders offer a capitalised product and the lender certainly does not have a patent pending on it – You might like to check that directly from the source.

    2) If it is general product why not post the entire information so other investors can read about it rather than keep it secret. Post all the information you have and then it can be left open to discussion.

    When you first post happens to be an advert for services the forumites get a little suspicious.

    Cheers
