Regional Investments (Under$250) Pros v Cons?

if your goal.is flipping houses then it wont be treated as a capital gain
just treated as regular taxable income
for most the benefit of capital gains over regular income is the 50% discount you get if held for over 1 year
In terms of regional or metro-.as a hands on 'investor' i would definately go regional as it is much easier to put a tangible value on the work you are doing
In metro.areas its unlikely you will be able to buy something that you can turn a dollar on -particularly when you factor in the higher stamp duty costs and the fact you are competing with emotional first home.buyers for what is often the cheapest property in an area

 

Yes, I have heard Ballarat is great for that!
