Thanks heaps for your time Rikky.

Having said that…[Read more]

I fairly inexperienced myself, so regard my advice accordingly.

Having the land in your name will incur costs. Make sure you get these back from your father-in-law.

I’d see an accountant, (who invests in property), and ask him about the renting implications under these circumstances.

It sounds like a good idea to me, but when you…[Read more]
