It was great to present at the McGrath Property Investment Seminar yesterday. There was a lot of relevant information covered relating to the income tax and financial planning aspects of property investment.

The main topics discussed were:

• Reviewing your financial position
• Reviewing your property value and capital gains
• Reviewing your income returns
• How to increase both your property value and income returns
• Repairs vs renovations and improvements
• The importance of having a depreciation schedule
• The impact of claiming depreciation on your capital gains and income returns
• Developing a property investment plan
• Record keeping

Neil Richardson outlined how he uses his quantity surveying skills and experience to generate depreciation schedules. 

Thank you Todd Brandon & Brooke Brandon and the McGrath Rockhampton and Capricorn Coast team for arranging this seminar.
