My acc. recommended that as I am a sole trader,I need to set up a trust for the PPOR and a company for the IPs. He said that you have to decide weather to do investment properties or developments. If you want to do both he suggests you form another company so that the Ips don’t get “tainted” by the developments, therefore…[Read more]

I’m new at this too, but my understanding is that it is better to have all IP’s in the company name.Later you can transfer 1 at a time into a trust.
If IP’s are in the company, you are paying the company tax rate and also if something goes wrong the bank can’t take your PPOR.
I am seeing my accountant next wk to get a structure in…[Read more]

He holds the cheque until the offer is accepted or goes unconditional.
That’s what I do, then there is no arguments if it falls over.

Sounds like a good investment to me. I think you have allowed too much for maintenance in you cals though, especially as it is a brick building. Usually allow 5% of rent per yr.which would be $450. Also if you did up the units you may be able to increase the rent.

I find this site useful to get current population and employment prospects. Especially helpful if buying in out of the main stream areas.
Good luck

Great advise. Yes I bought it in dec 2003 as a private sale, so the price would have been 640,000 to offset agents fees and he would have got it too as there was a lot of interest.
I think I will keep it as I only have to pay 350.00 per month to top up the mortgage, and then i can use it as equity in another positive cash flow…[Read more]
