When the cost of owning an investment property exceeds the income it earns, you can claim the loss against your other assessable income, which can make it a tax-efficient strategy.
Investing
For many people, investing in property is a good way to plan for their future. If you're new to the idea, there are a few things to consider.
Tax Benefits
The biggest amount you can deduct is usually the interest, although other costs can also be claimed such as repairs and management fees. The benefits of negative gearing only start when the property is available for rent.
To see if investing in property is right for you, talk to your financial adviser.
Capital Growth
The rental market can change over time, but in the long term, property is a reliable investment. Yes, when you sell an investment property, if it’s gone up in value you’ll pay capital gains tax based on your personal tax rate, but many people have enjoyed strong gains over recent years, making investing worth considering as part of your financial strategy.
Rental Income
Use the rental income to pay off your home loan
How can I use the equity in an existing property for investment?
Existing property you own can usually be used to help finance a new investment. Remember, if you’re looking to borrow over 80% of a property’s value, you may need to pay lenders mortgage insurance.
