    Hi all,

    I'm a newbie to this site but already enjoy reading from this forum.I have a BIG favour to ask. Does anyone know of a good property accountant in Melbourne? 

    I have started my investment portfolio few years ago but only start reading books on Property Investment recently. I have a family accountant who doesn't like giving advice and who hates the idea of setting up trust. 

    Here are my current situation and I really need help to get the structure right before is too late

    1. I have a PROP value at $500K (owe 360K) and IP value at $320 (owe 250K) under my own name

    2. Started family partnership 6 years ago. We only buy CF+ commercial properties. I only have small portion in this portfolio but nevertheless is a starting point for me.

    The problem is I do not have any asset protection strategy in place and from my reading I don't think I should have done everything via my own name.

    I've been asking my family accountant for advice and he reckons setting up and maintaining a trust is very expensive and will eat up my return in long run. Anyway, took me a good 12 months to convince my family to stop using him (he's a close friend of my uncle)

    Now I desperately need to find a good property accountant. I'm 27 so I guess I still have time to reverse and learn from my mistakes.

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Hi Panda

    I would support Hutch's recommendation.  This forum directed me to Mark at MJ Unwin a little while back, and I have found him to be excellent!!  Knows his stuff and has great customer service too

    Hi all,

    Could any one recommend a good property investment accountant out near Frankston, VIC?  I'm just starting out and need some good advice on how to set up.

    Anyone know of a good accountant on the west side of Melbourne ?
    Even somewhere around the city is good too.

    Kew, Mt Waverley, etc is kind of far. Thanks !

    Hi All,

    I used an amazing accountant located in Richmond.  David Brandi and Brandi & Co.  They knew their stuff especially when it came to my property investments and how to minimise my tax.  I reckon give him a try.
