Edward
Lukac, South Australia's Archicentre spokesman said the cut in land tax,
which will see the threshold rise from $100,000 to $300,000 before land
tax is struck, is estimated to impact on some 75,000 current property
investors.
"We believe
this will provide a stimulus for existing investors to invest in renovations
to lift the value of their properties and rent returns, and more people
entering the market as property investors by purchasing properties needing
renovation."
Mr Lukac
said the land tax cut would also be of assistance to many people looking
to fund their own retirement outside the superannuation maze of constant
rule changes by investing in property.
"Many
home owners are building up the equity in their own home by paying off
the mortgage and renovating to lift the value of the home which can be
sold to downsize, freeing up capital to invest in a rental property and
create an income stream in retirement."
Mr Lukac
said the foundation of successfully creating retirement wealth comes at
the beginning when choosing the property to purchase or making the right
decision on the renovation design to maximise the return for retirement
savings.
