Financial Planner Luke Smith joined 2CC Talking Canberra 1206AM in Money Matters, which aired on Friday 7 July 2023. The topic this week for the show is: Investing in property – What do you need to think about before you make a decision to buy one?
Key topics covered include:
- Why are you investing in property? A tax deduction is not the primary reason to purchase an investment property. Many people make this mistake, not thinking about the long-term factors or how it fits with their other assets.
- There’s been a generational change in the way property works
- Who will own the property? Will it held by an individual, a couple, a structure or a self managed super fund? There’s tax issues to consider too here!
- Where are you going to buy it? Different states and territories have different rules.
- What are you going to buy? Residential or commercial property?
- Do your own real estate research – don’t rely on an agent to tell you everything you need to know.
- Do you homework with strata if you’re buying into an apartment situation
- Of course, think about rising interest rates and how will you pay the loan back too!
- Finally, Luke shares his top tips to think about before investing in property
