Hey guys, got a couple of questions for you.
There has been a little bit of information in other posts, but have a few questions i'd like a firmer answer on.
I currently have 2 IP's and looking for a rental, but since the rental market in perth is REALLY tough atm, i'm considering other options.
If I moved into one of my IP's which is in quite a nice area, and rented out the other bedrooms (it's a 3 bedroom place) what are the tax implications? since It'll be income generating but also a PPOR the situation has confused me.
I will also be looking to make major renovations (adding a bedroom and ensuite) to maximise the downtime for the investment so it's not just wasted time, will that affect any outcome? Say if I kept it as a rental but had a planned vacany to do renovations.
If anyone has any experience renting out spare rooms I would love as much information as possible.
Also does anyone have experience with major renos? how much would an extra bathroom and bedroom cost (extremely rough estimates)?
Finally my IP that I want to do work on has a decent chunk of equity (loan 485k, valued 659k), what is the best strategy to release this equity for the renovations?
