There are many thigns you can do

1. Refinance your current home and use the equity to buy more houses – thus all interest will be tax deductable

2. Rent it our and use the rent as passive income

3. Sell it and then use the cash to buy more houses – although CGT may be payable.

These are just a few, as AD said it comes down to your goals etc.…[Read more]

1. Steve’s and similar books are priceless. If you get one idea that will save you the cost, by informing you on something that could have cost you, its worth the investment.

2. You have to work out your goals and aims. If you want passive income (and not continue to work for $$$) then WRAPS or Lease/Options my be the way to go. However if you…[Read more]

Sorry to say but any NETT income from property adds to your personal income for tax purposes.

So from what you have said, it looks like you are now in the top bracket…

Well, I attended the seminar Sat (which was sensational, as usual). I picked up the book, and finished it in 3 days! Such an easy and informative read. Its a great ‘get the toes wet’ style book, I found it very reinforcing in that most of the issues I have heard before, but being told the info in a new format was really refreshing.

I had a huge…[Read more]

It will also be available from bookstores from approximately the 4th August. They might be a little hard to find though as the publisher has only done a print run (despite what I told them!) for bookstores of 6,000.

What is your aim here? To see if the property is cashflow positive?

If so you shouldn’t need a country specific calulator. All you simply need to do is make sure your (incoming )rents are greater then your outgoings (mortgage,rates etc) Its really that simple….

I hope I have answered your query – if not please expand….

You are going to have to pay CGT as it is not currently your PPOR..

However if its held in your own name you are entitled to a 50% CGT discount, should provide a bit of a buffer….

A good base is to apply the 11 second solution Steve has developed..

Also try searching sites such a realestate.com.au they are a good start to get an idea of areas and relative rents/prices etc…

A good place to start when trying to learn about minimising tax is the book shop. There are quite a few resources/books on tax and tax/truct structures.

Try Steve’s Wealth Guardian cd and book. Good Start/Product.

There are some possibilities in that you can convert a company into a trust (as far as i am aware). Its hard to see if this can apply here, but talk to a tax accountant on this one….could have potential..

Firstly – entelechy welcome to the forum

I have to agree with your “Baby Boomer Product” comment. The average baby boomer investor has been hooked on the concept.
I was having a conversation the other day with a 40 something woman about Positive Cashflow Investing and its virtues.
She loved the concept but kept repeating the statement “but if…[Read more]

I agree…

It seems you are relatively happy with either outcome, so why not offer the vendor a multi-choice offer and then let them decided what’s best for them.

Good Luck

Let us all know when you are through the trainning and I am sure you will get some networks/business via this forum…

I agree with AD, you have to first set your goals etc.

In regard to pitfalls, they are all situation specific – i.e. if you WRAP the potential ‘down-side’ is completely different to a ‘buy/hold’

First step would be to post your goals & outcomes and let the magic of the forum go to work!!!
