Hi there,

I'm looking into buying (and holding) my first residential investment property (with a friend) and was just wondering what the best vehicle would be to structure this under would be.

From what I can understand under a company you can expense the interest payments but would this make the property liable to a capital gains tax on sale (say after 5-10 years?)

Alternatively if keep the property under my personal name, from what I understand if I buy/hold for a reasonable period of time, I'm not subject to capital gains tax however will be paying 33% tax (my marginal tax rate) on the rental income, and won't be able to claim deductions for certain expenses.

Any advice would be welcome.
