- #44: All things property tax – how to understand your deductions at tax time
- One of the things about tax law, no one can read it all or understand it all. Most of the decisions have a tax overlay to them. Yet we can’t get specific written advice on all the little bits and pieces. The best advisors will help people understand the general tax implications and that’s why people yearn so much for information, because a lot of it is self-taught.
- #4: How to develop your own Property Plan – start with the end in mind!
- Explaining the basis of what we talk about. We’d encourage our listeners to go back and listen to the earlier ones, which were more foundational.
- Some of the wonderful feedback from our listeners
David Johnston- The Property Planner’s Golden nugget:
- Buy as soon and as often as you can afford to, whilst having your long-term home in mind so you don’t derail it and have to sell.
- Focus on where you would like to live long term, if your goal is to get married and have a family, it is likely you will, so think about where that would be in an ideal world and ensure each property decision is working towards that as this is a major cause of many people selling assets.
- Have a money management system, when your salary increases do not increase your expenditure by as much, when you get a long-term partner and combine spending, be sure you have already been discussing and educating on the system, re-visit it each time you take on a new mortgage or have a child or some other major change.
- Have a mortgage strategy that aligns with your long-term property planning so you can optimise buying and holding property so you don’t have to sell.
- Analyze what drives outperformance from a location and asset performance perspective – it’s not rocket science, if you get it 80% right, you’ve probably done well.
Cate Bakos – The Property Buyer’s Golden nugget: our attitude to taking action. You want to be somewhere in the middle you don’t want to be jumping in with limited planning and you don’t want to be a perfectionist either, spending years finessing but not actually taking action. Property is never perfect, you have to get in and get the property that is right for you. You want to get it reasonably right, but you don’t want to get it horribly wrong. Do your research, listen to the experts, plan when you’re going to be making your move and plan to take action. Don’t go shopping until finance is sorted.
Peter Koulizos – The Property Professor’s Golden nugget: if it was easy, everyone would be doing it. Property investing does require time, effort and research. You don’t need to be an expert though. If you have a full-time job, but you still want to invest in property, you have to find the time, it needs to be a priority.
