Step 2: Investment Structures

(Many thanks to Alison Tooley of Pincus Matz Marquard Attorneys for her assistance with this feature: e-mail alisont@pincus.co.za)

The most important aspect of making money out of property is preserving and protecting both the property and the wealth that is created.

Far too many property investors rush into buying properties without first getting the correct property investment structure in place. Without the correct property investment structure you are exposed and vulnerable to creditors who can ruthlessly take away everything you have gained.

South African law recognises two types of legal "persons" - natural persons and juristic persons. Natural persons are people who act and do business in their own name. Juristic persons are legal entities such as Close Corporations, Companies and Trusts.

There are different legal and tax implications that apply depending on the investment structure that you use. For a comprehensive read on the various tax implications of investing in property please refer to the tax chapter in the second edition of my book "Making Money out of Property in South Africa".

Set out below are the various investment options available to you. Please click onto "The Jason Lee property investment structure" to make use of the property investment structures that I utilise".
