    How are you all? I hope you are all doing well in health and investing![suave2]

    I am wondering if any of you would be able to give me a hand with structures!
    I am single and will be buying buy my self.

    I am looking through my books but they dont talk to much about structures, I am thinking about a family trust, any one knows whats best for tax, protection and for a single male (what structure)? or any one knows what book should I get so i can read it and learn?

    Thank you so much once again for your help.

    Have a serious look at Hybrid discretionary trusts. They are very good for holding property as they allow you the benefits of negative gearing plus a whole range of other benefits.

    There are a few newer books out there, but one of the best and easiest to understand is Dale Gatherum Goss’ “Trust Magic” http://www.gatherumgoss.com

    You will need your investment stratagie sorted out before you look at structuring.
    Will it be -ve gear or +ve gear?
    Buy and hold
    Develop

    You get the idea. This will steer your structuring in the right direction.
    There is plenty of good books out there that will give you a good understanding.

    A quick tip, Family trusts are limiting for income distributions if you are single.

    Everyone is in a different situation so it is best to talk to someone who knows structures well, but you will possibly get conflicting advice from different people.
    You will also need to think about how far you want your investing to go, how many IP’s.

    Look into a corporate trustee with either discretionary or hybrid discretionary trust.

    Hope this helps
