    After reading the thread at https://www.propertyinvesting.com/forum/topic/19186.html I’ve realised that I too should be looking at setting up the appropriate business structure before buying my first property.

    I’m currently saving the deposit (at 1k a month) toward a PPOR. We intend to buy a place we can improve and then rent out after 6 months or so.
    I have access to FHOG. My partner would have to be not on the paper work for us to get FHOG as she has previously bought (and sold) a house. Can I still have a trust structure set up to buy the PPOR house if the intention is for it to be an investment 6 months or more down the track.

    What kind of trust do I need and who can help me set it up (I live in Hobart). How do both my partner and I receive profits from the trust? Can I make use of FHOG if the house is bought by the trust?

    Yes, a trust can own it and you can rent it of the trust, then when you move out a new tenant moves in. I am unsure of FHOG though. Don’t think so.

    What kind of trust do I need and who can help me set it up (I live in Hobart).

    Depends on the return of property and personal circumstances which type, possibly discretionary trust or hybrid trust.

    How do both my partner and I receive profits from the trust?

    You become beneficiaries of the trust.

    E-mail me if you want to talk.

    Hope this helps

    I think it has to be bought in a ‘personal name’ for the FHOG..ne of the Mortgage Brokers on the Forum will know for sure…

    FHOG: Eligible applicants must be natural persons, who are Australian citizens or permanent residents, who are buying or building their first home in Australia

    I’ll get the first house as PPOR in my name and subsequent houses, I’ll look into the best trust structure.

    Cheers and thanks for all the info
