Structuring the purchase of your rental properties the wrong way

By Glynis Carter

Disclaimer: Nothing is this article is meant to constitute financial advice of any kind, and is the opinion of the author only. Seek professional advice before making any financial decision.

Understandably when you purchase your first rental property you are trying to save as many administration costs as you can and reduce any unnecessary outlay.

Often when doing this you forget to look at the long-term strategy.

Long term strategy for purchasing rental investment properties is one that leads to more than one property purchase and often several.

Having the correct structure in place when you start is not only sensible but in the long run can save you money.

The costs for putting this in place are worth the end result.

Let’s take a look at the four possible structures you may have heard of:

1. Purchasing a property in your own name. (Sole Trader)

2. Purchasing a property in your own and another...

Investor Mistakes: Treating it as a hobby, not a business

Property Investment is a business, not a hobby.

Or so I thought.

With property, we are dealing with big numbers and although I knew it was a business, in reality I never really treated it as such. As a result, in the early years I only got the results one would expect you would get by treating it as a hobby.

In my naïve way of thinking, getting a tax refund at the end of the financial year was a great thing. I remember being ecstatic that in some years my tax rate was in effect 0%. That meant that all the tax I had paid through the year was refunded to me. Why? Because I had a huge amount of losses to offset against my personal income. My properties were making a huge loss year on year and I was excited.

However, if we...

KEEPING YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME: Property Investment Success

assetlab auckland property coach auckland property investment mindset property flip property flipping property investment property mentor property tradining renovation Oct 10, 2019

What does mindset and personal development have to do with property investment and wealth creation?

Well…Everything.

AssetLab’s philosophy is to “Work harder on the INVESTOR than on the INVESTMENT”

Now I hear some people saying “Nope. We’re Kiwi’s. We don’t like flowery stuff mate; just give us the nuts and bolts and we’ll be ‘right”

If only that were true. It does seem that way on the face of it of course but the reality is far from it.

Let’s face it, most of the Property Education principles taught in NZ are not new. Most of the information can be found if you look hard enough; Books, Forums, Investor Associations, Good ol’ Google, it’s all out there. A lot of it for free.

AssetLab are in the business of Wealth Education so it may seem like we’re bias towards it. And you are right, we are.

But we encourage free...

Property Investment Mistakes: Overcapitalizing on your renovation project

By James Upton

One of the biggest mistakes I see investors make is overcapitalizing when renovating properties, both trading and within their buy-and-hold portfolio.

And yes, I am guilty of falling into this trap over the years as well.

It is funny because everyone is so objective when it is not their property, however, the minute they have ‘skin in the game’ the emotional attachment seems to set in. Suddenly, the matter-of-fact demeanour of sticking to the budget can morph into a splurge here and a splurge there when it is their own property.

It is not so much the extra $20 for a light shade that matters, but when you add up 10 of those throughout...
