16 Months ago we bought a property Via Metropole, once the purchase has been done. We attended an auction a week later after our purchase, in the same street same size property. It was sold for $95,000 more than what we paid for.

Thanks Ethan.

Company is acting as a trustee and I am director of the company and the beneficiary to the trust. Profits gets distributed to the beneficiaries.

We have all the financials ready. Just wondering if Salary sacrifice and trust distribution will be added.

Elena,

I recommend Metropole located in Brighton. I have used them in the past. They are very good.

They dont have properties to sell. They are true buyers agency.

Terryw,

The trust is my own company. We are small size businees with 100 or more employees. The profit gets distributed end of the year.

Thank you.

Metropole is a good buyers agent. I have used them before. They have 40 years experience in property. They have bought and sold 2 billion worth of property. They are the best of all the buyers agents I have met.

You dont need to buy a new property to get negative gearing benefits. Well located properties in Capital cities. Close to City and near good schools are better place to buy. You can negatively gear them and reap the tax benefits.
