I have a couple of questions regarding whether I would be entitled to any stamp duty reductions for the purchase of my next property.

My situation: currently own 1 property in Vic which has been an IP since day 1 so no stamp duty concessions were received. I still live with the folks in the family home.

I’m looking at hopefully…[Read more]

Was $2.5k the cost of the cabinets etc and you installed it yourself or were there professional installation costs on top of this? I might be looking at doing a kitchen reno myself in the near future so curious to know approximate numbers

Thanks for explaining that guys!

Richard Taylor – do you deal in Melbourne too or only Queensland?

If you don’t mind me asking, how is your current property performing in terms of growth?
That’s exactly what I’ve been finding recently too. Especially in Melbourne recently there has been very good capital growth but rents have not kept up and as a result yields have decreased.

I have been looking at Metro areas and yields seem to be much lower than that. Or am I just looking at the wrong areas? haha

Just to clarify in the above example am I right in saying that the OP will effectively take out a loan of $350k for the second property ($200k + $150k equity he already has)?
So he is ultimately obtaining 100% finance for…[Read more]

If it is simply taking average rental income less interest expense (at 80% lvr and current market interest rates) the property could very well end up actually being negatively geared.

If it is not being accounted for above you may need to consider other holding costs such as…[Read more]

If I bought a house for $400k, spent the first 2 months renovating it (while the house is vacant) which cost me $20k and then immediately got it revalued for say $460k, then got tenants in and then sold it 2 years later for say $500k, what would be my…[Read more]

Terry: are you suggesting that if I employed strategy #1 the proceeds may be classified as assessable income even though the property may be CGT exempt?

In the case of being audited, how do people generally prove they lived there in that time? Would being able to reproduce bills showing electricity/gas/water being used along with having mail redirected to that property be considered sufficient evidence or do the ATO require some sort of other evidence?

While I had considered some of those entry/holding/exit costs, I hadn’t considered other such as mortgage early exit fees and some legal fees. I might need to do a bit more research into how much these are likely to cost while analysing potential properties. Would you happen to know roughly how much these costs are as…[Read more]
