I'll run it all by my accountant next week to be absolutely sure, but looks promising

So to the best of your knowledge, does the same high level principle hold true under newer tax law? (ie. repairs relating to income producing property that became necessary as a result of income production (eg. tenancy) can be claimed if undertaken in the same financial year, immediately after the property ceases to become income…[Read more]

Most of the items have been documented well (including photos) in inspection reports from the PM over the last year or more, so proving that they happed during income production shouldn't be too hard. I guess I just wondered whether…[Read more]

The property of interest (in the Adelaide metro area) is probably worth in the realm of 650k-700k. It's double story, built in 1950 (with some extensions), has 4 bedrooms,…[Read more]

Our present lender indicated they could do a stopped term deposit as a security, but I'd be happy to consider other options, such as just doing it at the time of the settlement of the new PPOR.I'm mildly confused about the scenario you have described above:If the original property was purchase for $100K and both…[Read more]

I had a look last night, and I found something about getting a stamp duty exemption if the marriage had "failed", but nothing to do with transferring between spouses in "happier times". If I have no joy, I'll ask my conveyancer, one would hope they know these sorts of things.Appreciate your a…[Read more]

The problem is more about the 120k odd of equity then still left in the current PPOR (soon to be IP). It seems a shame to have it sitting there saving me interest where I will be able to claim…[Read more]

I'd contemplated the trust concept, but wasn't sure if that would fly, and also wasn't sure if it made long term financial sense. There seem to be a few pros and cons.The suggestion of my wife transferring her interest to me, or visa versa, is a good one, that I had not fully contemplated.I'll have a hunt…[Read more]
