Parents sometimes buy investment property to build long-term wealth or help their adult children get into the property market. This video covers the first considerations when parents are buying an investment property: structuring the purchase and loan options.

First steps for parents buying investment property:

• Whether to buy in your own name, a trust, or company structure

• How investment property loans differ from home loans

• Tax implications of investment property ownership

• Whether helping an adult child through property investment makes sense

Investment property decisions affect your finances for decades, so thinking through the structure and strategy upfront matters. Whether you're buying your first investment property or expanding an existing portfolio, getting the structure right saves you money on tax and maximises your flexibility.
