Property Management & Investment Guide

Your guide to purchasing and managing investment property. Property represents a very secure and sound, long term form of wealth creation. And as such, Australians are increasingly turning to property investment to secure their future. A well managed investment can offer many advantages including income and capital growth. Many investors may also be able to use their investment to reduce tax payable on their assessable income.

Property is also a good option as part of an investment portfolio, particularly with people who do not need immediate access to their money and wish to protect themselves against inflation over the long term. It is important to be aware however, of the responsibilities of managing your property investment and assuring proper care and responsibility. As considerable money is at stake, you need to take the time to get good advice before you act - and remember, consideration of any investment presents wide and varied alternatives and there are always plenty of experts ready to pass on their opinion.

It is wise, therefore, to always seek appropriate advice from a qualified financial advisor or your accountant. This booklet is the first step in this process and is designed to provide an overview of the considerations required for any owner of an investment property.
