Perhaps the property will grow in value, perhaps it won’t. If it does then in theory if you need to sell it one day you could crystalize your gain by selling it and live off the cash pile till it…[Read more]

As the others said. It’s a capital cost. And you cannot claim any “claimable immediately” items till it is available for rent anyway.

Hi MsTrump

There are people on these forums with experience in the field you refer to, but what is your question?
