Property Ownership Structures for tax benefits and asset protection
Once you have decided to purchase a property for investment it is important to explore what the most suitable ownership structure will be. Most people, particularly first time investors, will simply purchase a property in their own name or in joint names with their life partner, when often there would have been more suitable ownership structures.
Getting the ownership structure correct at the start can set you up for various benefits long into the future, whereas getting it wrong can be absolutely disastrous.
Each and every property investor will have a unique set of circumstances, which is why it is critical to seek expert advice in relation to the most suitable ownership structure prior to purchasing your investment property.
