NSW State Government has released a new tax for home buyers on top of stamp duty.

NSW State Government has released a new tax for home buyers on top of stamp duty.

This government is infamous for their impeccable timing when it comes to property (many will remember what the introduction of the Vendor Duty did to values in NSW a few years back). The new tax will apply to all property purchasers over $500,000 and will generate an estimated $90 million per year. To give you a idea of the impact of this tax, last year it would have been imposed on around 40,000 buyers. Let’s hope they spend this extra revenue wisely.

Real estate investment can happen for various reasons. You could invest in real estate because you need a house for yourself (that house of your dreams that you so badly want). You could use real estate as a means for supplementing your income either by buying at a lower price and selling at a higher price or by letting it out to tenants. Sometimes you might buy a property for the purpose of resale but might want to wait for a few years before you actually sell it. In such a case, again it would make sense to rent out the property and earn some money till you actually decide to sell it off.

Whatever the reason, letting out real estate demands Residential Tenancy Agreement Forms and various other tenancy forms, filling out residential tenancy agreement forms is not an easy job for everyone. In fact, a lot of people find it so much of a hassle that they prefer keeping their property vacant instead of letting it. Real estate management and tenancy forms demands time. Real estate management is not just about finding tenants and collecting rent from them. Real estate management is also about ensuring that you provide all the right tenancy forms, residential tenancy agreements, bond lodgement forms and do all the duties that a landlord/landlady is required to do.
