I have read the sites, looked up hybrid and discrtionary trusts and totally confused as to which is the right thing to do, may I just ask do all property investors have trusts or companies to protect their assets or are there investors out there that just purchase properties in their own names then claim the properties on their own taxes?

I do have lots more to learn.

Just thought that I would add to your comment on the CBA, the westpac is also cutting down on the number of points earned for every dollar as from 1st July you will only earn 1 point for every 2 dollars spent, and they are going to increase the annual charge for having the credit card.
So less points at more cost, time to look…[Read more]

My intensions are to build and hold for about 10 years after this time I am not sure, but if the worst came to the worst I could continue to pay for the negatively geared property.
I guess I will give it a go and if it doesn’t work then I could always sell.
Thanks again
