    Adco,
    If you are just starting out, best thing to do is research, research and more research. Do a search on this site for all the things you mentioned, go through the Legal section on this site. pick up books on property investing – Jan Somers, Peter Spann, Steve Mc Knight, etc . The more homework you do, the more you will save on the potential pitfalls.
    Good Luck.

    I think as individuals. As partners you will have joint liability and run out of serviceability faster.

    Once you have some runs on the board consider a trust.

    There is prob little benefit in a Pty Ltd entity.

    hi adco
    From your post this is going to be a business.
    The first thing in making a good business is getting the right people involved.
    With your business look thru the posts.
    I did read a very good list of people you need.
    From accountant thru to finacial advicer I think I posted two.
    next after reading that you need to decide how you are going to run your business and what structure.
    You will then know if trust or company I won’t recommend either as I’m not allowed to.
    I run three companies and 5 trusts all for different reasons.
    I would not recommend either individuals or partnerships unless this is your primary residence
    and your are reno and sell complete.

    here to help

    Hi Simon,

    Why do you run out of serviceability when you go with another partner?
