multiple natural disasters (nationally and globally)

"Building a Strategic Investment
Plan" |
Do you have a Strategic Investment
Plan? Do you indeed know what is in one? Chances
are the answer is no but if the answer is yes,
do you revisit and revise it regularly?
The Strategic Investment Plan” has a starting
point at one end and an exit strategy at the other;
between these two points there is a task to regularly
mointor and revise the plan as time goes on.
If you don't have a Strategic investment Plan
- and a lot of investors don't, then you need
to come to Junes monthly meeting and see what
you need to do.. ......more

Tax Implications for
the Property Investor |
Like
death, tax is not a topic that most of us investors
hold close to our hearts! Perhaps we see it more
like a “necessary evil”. However,
this year in particular, we are being forced to
give the issue of tax more thought than we might
otherwise like to. Not only do we have the new
and more restrictive tainting rules to deal with,
but we are also heading towards changes that will
see a reduction to the taxation benefits offered
by property investment.
For those of you
who prefer to adapt and continue winning, we have
two specialists at our next meeting who can help
us come to terms with the changing landscape ....view

The Risks Of Property

and lots of us think property is a pretty good investment
vehicle. But there are risks with anything and everything,
including property. Many potential investors are
put off by these risks, and some never take the
all-important first steps on the journey of property
investment, for fear of what “might happen”.

Firstly, we hear from an esteemed
ANZ economist with an update picture of our economy
and the property markets in particular for the
coming months and years ahead. Have we stabilized
somewhat? Is this as bad as it gets?
Secondly, a topic of terrific
mystery to most of us… Council planning!
A Wellington City Council planner will paint a
picture of the council’s long-term vision
for our city, and the likely implications for
property investors. For more detail on this evenings

Steve Slater &
Dennis Wright: IRD Compliance Officer |
|
This time last
year, Finance Minister Michael Cullen said Inland
Revenue would get an extra $14.6 million over
the next three years to strengthen property transaction
audits. His rational was that speculative activity
was driving up house prices and household debt
levels; giving IRD more money would help it enforce
the law, recover monies owed and maybe take the
sting out of the market. The market has cooled
down somewhat (not because of Cullen) but for
investors looking to sell property, it is still
very relevant to understand whether or not you
have to pay tax when you sell. Some questions
you may ask yourself:. .....more
