Terryw, is there not some rule about moving back into a property and making it your PPR again before selling?

thanks for the tip, i did end up seeing an accountant(s) in early last year, spent over an 1hour talk through my plans as I also have a small dev going to.

i thought you can own a property as PPOR for 12months, rent it out of less then 6 years, move back in for 6months and sell it for PPOR?
scotts replied to the topic Sale of two properties, feedback required please in the forum Help Needed! 12 years, 7 months ago
Catalyst thanks for the info.I'm aware you can only claim 1 PPOR at anytime.What I'm wanting to know is what timeframe I would need to sell both properties in without paying CGT.I thought properties can go from PPOR to Non-PPOR and back again.

if there is room for a driveway at the side of the property there maybe an option to sell off the backyard, which may make staying in the property affordable or even may off the remaining loan.

solid info in the thread for newcomers… borrow 80% of the total purchase price, put whatever savings you have into an offset account linked to the loan.

Terryw your above posts about centrelink is actually a bit of a worry…so just buy holding a property in a DFT with myself as the primary beneficiary, all other beneficiaries (even without their name spelt out) will have issues with centrelink benefits?eg.the sister of the primary beneficiarythe sister's children of the primary beneficiaryso both…[Read more]

Terryw, Thank you, I'm happy to hear that my general understanding of what a trust can do is correct.Is there anyway for the trust to retain the profits after selling the properties and reinvest without distributing to beneficiaries or paying 45% (or whatever the highest tax rate is)?

scotts replied to the topic Should I take the commission only real estate job as a start? in the forum Help Needed! 13 years, 6 months ago
for a young person with no living expenses (eg living with parents, paying no rent/food bills) I think its fine to take a commission only job and see where it takes you, however if you have living expenses and debt it will be highly stressful for you..also is that the area of real estate you want to get into or are you only interested because its on offer?
