56 | Q&A - Exiting a contract, crowdfunding, what's the impact of global events on Australia Property Market and more

It’s Q&A time! This week on The Property Couch, Bryce Holdaway and Ben Kingsley will be answering the questions below from our fellow listeners. Thanks again for submitting your questions!

• Exiting a contract question from Alex.
• Crowdfunding questions from Carol:  What is “crowdfunding” and how will it work?
• Ownership questions from Rob: What property ownership structure should investors use when buying an investment property? Individual, trust, company etc. Is there a need to balance tax advantages with long-term asset protection on this issue?
• Global events question from Cookie.
• Case study question from Chris: Brief Bio – 33 yrs old. Married with one child, live in Sydney, and work full time. Have three properties. Two in Townsville building one in Melbourne currently. Currently renting in Sydney as units where we want to live sell for $800k to $1 million. However, we can rent and invest. We put all our money into our offset and pay out the credit card at the end of the statement period. 
  • Question 1 – with the house I am building in Melbourne. Will I ever be able to claim back the GST I paid in the building contract?
  • Question 2 – With one of my properties in Townsville I am concerned that our body corporate fees are way too high. How do I compare if this is the going rate in our market?
