I need someone to help me crunch some numbers...

A convayencer will be helpful for some of the charges associated with things too.... Like I believe there is a discount on stamp duty or another charge for "primary residence", so if you are selling the place you have and are purchasing a new primary place of residence, you get about $1000 discount.

Some states offer this - I know queensland has a PPR stamp duty rate and an investor rate.

Land is calculated on the investor rate - which is higher - because there is no house on it yet, regardless of whether or not there is a house going to be built on it.

Thats how it works in Queensland anyway.

In tassie everyone is charged a high rate - no matter if its land, PPR or investment purposes.

Yeah I'm not sure about this either, but when I went onto the calculator I put in WA and primary residence, so I guess it worked out any discounts for that state if there are any

But it wouldn't be a primary residence if there is no house on it yet - ITMS?

In NSW there is no stamp duty on land that costs less than 400k. No idea about WA.

Yeah, good point... I have no idea what happens in that situation, how they determine if it's a primary residence yet. I cam't say it's just land in the calculator for some reason
