GST on IP costs

My husband has an ABN and would like to know if it is possible to claim the GST on agents fees, insurance etc. on our investment properties.

Residential rent is described as input taxed. That means:
- No GST on the rental income
- GST cant be claimed on costs

The ABN is in respect of an ENTERPRISE eg a carpentry sole trader business. If you then also commence to plan, produce and sell a TV show like the Block your existing ABN might not cover it. You may need a new ABN for that enterprise. The practical way the ATO do that is to add a further branch number to the ABN....ie the first one is 001...(Most people ignore it)
So the existing ABN has nothing to do with IPs.
