    hello forumites, first time long time so please be kind ;P

    Would appreciate anyone's advice, I don't believe in bad or the wrong advice, after it will be up to me to make the final decision.

    Anyway, just wanting to know if it would be a good idea to buy my first property under my name (maybe live in it for 6 months to get the FHBG) and rent it out (negatively geared) to offset the income tax I'm paying. Then establishing a Hybrid Trust for my future investment properties (will be negatively geared as well)

    Has anyone ever done this before?

    Thanks in advance everyone

    hi Chris, a Hybrid Trust is a cross between a unit and a discretionary trust, thats my understanding of it. Please correct me if I am wrong anyone.

    regards,
    Tuansen
