i have a question along similar lines
my partner and i live in my ppor in darwin(in my name and been here for i3+yrs)and wish to move into a unit for lifestyle reasons.
my plan is to purchase new place in her name only(first home buyer) then rent my place out and retain benefit of cgt exemption if and when we decide to sell.
my questions are
 can i load my ppor up with debt from the new place
can we buy a place with an existing lease and still claim the cgt exemption

thanks
