Hi,
I know this question may seem so silly to some. Why would somenoe spend a large sum of money just for these benefits of 7k and SD exemption.
Ofcourse there is more reasons such as long term acquisition of several IP's and being comfortbale in the future. And that is ultimately my long term goal however;
This is the position i am in. I already own a IP. My fiance who i am marrying in september does not. We do not live together. Not untill we wed anyway. Therefore if she was to purchase a house now we would get the 7k grant and not have to pay SD ( house will be less than 500k). It will be in her name only.
I am currently looking for another IP so as to not waste this opportunity. Once we get married she will be my partner officially and she would not be entitled to this.
We currently have enough for a deposit on a IP. I am looking at something with 5% yield in outer sydney suburbs. The only question in my head is should we just continue saving for now and just purchase a property once i we hAVE A healthier deposit
The other side of the arguemnet is if there is a 5% home value drop as some agencies suggested late last week then the benefits of the FHO policies would be ruled out with this drop so i would have been better to continue saving.
I guess this is a tough one but what would you do?
