You could also do this, release some equity to purchase a +ve cashflow property or properties on the full purchase prices and use the “Offset Gearing Principle” to have your Negative geared property, offsetted against another property’s passive income.
This way, you have 2 properties, but can further benefit more in taxation wise, and have less money or no money coming from your pocket to fund either properties.
You mention, you are going to improve your properites, an improvement, which gives your property more capital… in turn more equity.
Though if you do improve your property capital value, remember you cant claim this as a tax deduction, as this is a capital cost.
What you would have to do is take the improvement expenses(cost) and deduct it from your selling price (of your property, when you decide to sell) to get a net capital gain, which will then be taxed.
Just remember, theres a difference between “Improvement(capital cost)” and “Repairing and Fixing”
Celivia’s idea is very approcable and is addressed in the best manner, for accessing more cash, but also increase your equity and property value further more.
In this senario, i would redraw the new equity of $25,000…. As this money is tax free…. and then further reinvest, spend it, or improve your property, with depreciable items, (were again you can claim more tax deductions, but also increase your property value even futher and the odd possilbity of extra rent).
Best part too is…. presuming your property, stills stays +ve cashflow on the new mortgage. You’ve just acquired some “Tax Free Dollars for you own Pleasure or Leisure”
Wish you best of luck in this new year, good luck, with your spotters service, you have the support from all us Bear-o-philes, and many property investing forum members.
I think the idea is great, but your in market were there is too much competition already. Maybe you would be better off, doing a dvd about Wraps, im not into wraps, but i know, many people out their dont know what it is, but would be curious to know.
Not much help here, but you are in a very competitve market right now.
So lets say i become a trader, how would i prove this to the ATO, or do i need to get some kind of forms from the ATO, to show proof, that i buy and sell property as a trader?
Or do i need to not have a job, to be a property trader?
Thats fine, just message me, when your up for a game. And be careful playing Matt, he whooped me and cleaned me up, i was left with mortgages everywhere and then, in the end, left bankrupt.
grrrr……
Well ill see you guys on, Online Monoply later on, but if anyone else is interested, come on and play.
This is not a good idea, well personally i think its not, but some of the Inner Sydney Studios, do give +ve cashflow returns, though, they are tiny i mean really tinnie and the servicability of the loans, maybe just a tad little harder as the studios are about 20 square metres big.
But these really tinnie studios, do offer some large Rental Yield Returns. Though again, many of them are neutrally geared.
My brothers gf lives that way, being so, had the opportunity of having a look at many properties in that area, was cheap long ago, but the prices of The Gap in some areas are still in the mid $300k’s though in some other parts of The Gap, you will find property well over the $1 million dollar mark.
Seems to be an alright place to invest, though if you are after +ve cash flow properties, a much harder chance to come by them. Great for Capital Gain Returns.
Dam those guys at Harvey Norman are expensive and dont budge much with price. Well done on your bartering. Have you gone and tried Good Guys, always find them great for negotiating, and best thing too that works with them ive found is, that after you negotiate the price down, tell them your a student and they even knock the price down further more.
Other thing too is, if you have a good guys near by, sign up and take the privliege of being a card holder member, which offers you further more discounts but free delivery on items, and next time your at harvey normans or another large retailer, flash your Good Guys VIP card, and tell them to match the great benefits or do better.
Well done though… “A dollar Saved, is a Dollar Earnt”
Commerical loans are a little harder to service, as most lenders, will only lend 70% of the intial purchase amount. Other thing to is, the loans are roughly about 2% higher too, and you have to pay alot of service fees and other related bank charges, that normally a residential property can be exempted, due to what type of loan package taken.
Best not to collateral any properties to a large investment, unless you like risk or are prepared to take on. Other than that, the bank like to review the loans every 6 months as well… so that is another thing to, to consider.
Not sure on this, but im sure that commercial/business have a maxed period of 15 years. Though, im not sure on this again.
Though im sure, one of the Mortgage Brokers on the forum, would have better knowledge and would be able to give better advice and help in this area.
I havent really shopped around, but as for insurance, im with CommInsure.
Very Simple to setup and new insurance policies can be quickly created, normally takes no longer than 5 mins.
Price – well its different for every property.
If you are after Mortgage Protection Insurance, Commonwealth Bank offer that again, but only up to $400k
though
if you exceed this amount, they do offer CMP though you be better off to get their “Total Care Plan” which covers the following:
Trauma Cover
Total & Permanent Disability Cover
Life Care
Though this aint cheap, but their are some incentives and this is also tax deductible, though there is some other insurance policy you have to take out, and i just cant remember its name and find were i put those documents.
