Investment Property Advisory

For many, purchasing an investment property can be a difficult process that many buyers only undertake a few times in their lives.

Buying properties with subdivision potential

Property development is becoming an increasingly lucrative way to capitalise on an investment. Whether you intend to subdivide land you currently own, or purchase a parcel with the intention to develop, it is important to plan ahead and recognise the key stages throughout the process. The following information has been prepared to help you recognise each stage and make informed decisions to assist your property intentions to turn into a reality.

Renovating property for profit

There are many ways to add value to a property. One of the most effective ways to do it is by renovating. A new renovation can rejuvenate the look and feel of a property. A new room, flooring, or even backyard features can help make a home more appealing to potential buyers.

Buying an apartment in melbourne

Buying an apartment in Melbourne is a risky task with many factors that must be considered to avoid a real estate money pit.

Problems like negative equity, a small floor plan, high body corporate fees, poor capital growth and low rental yields.

Are the fees of a buyer’s advocate, tax deductible?

The following question can be broken down into yes and no.

If a buyer’s agent has decided to help you purchase your dream house that you wish to live in, then the fee is not tax deductible. The entire process of the agent purchasing the property and negotiating a contract will not be included.

On the other hand, if a buyer’s advocate has helped you purchase an investment property, then their fees can be created as a part of a cost base for capital gains reasons.
