Moving interstate - what you need to consider when turning your home into an investment property
If you're moving away from Canberra, and wondering about the pros and cons of whether to sell or to keep your home and rent it out as an investment property, here is our advice on what you need to consider before making a decision.
One of the big factors is whether you plan to live in the same property on your return. Another key consideration in renting out the family home is that the minute you pull the door shut behind you it becomes an investment property. If you decide to go down this path, your long-term planning needs to consider the following factors:
- How to maximise your tax dollar
- Insurance must reflect market value of your property
- Budget for smart maintenance
- gardening - it is an expensive investment not to maintain
- Property depreciation schedule.
