    Hey Experts,
    As per topic I'm curious if there is an ideal structure for this type of strategy in regards to tax minimization.

    As some of you know I am just completing one now but this was done on PPOR so a bit different.

    The next one I plan on doing will be buy a property and rent out immediately. I would then spend the next say 1 year subdividing. Once completed I would then renovate the existing home and sell both the home and vacant land seperately.

    If successful likely rinse and repeat a few times over in the next few years.

    That's like walking into a pharmacy and asking for the pill that fixes everything.

    Things that should be considered will include how its financed, can you split incomes, who else is in the family, what their incomes are, who is a risk, etc....Its very dangerous to apply a photocopier to any strategy.

    Some general rules that apply pretty muxh for all I would think would be to hold for >12 months for all Reno & Flips for 50% CGT discount (unless claiming as PPOR whilst renoing and avoid CGT altogether) and time your sales for different financial years (pre June/ post July) if it means you'll be in a lower tax bracket by doing so.
