As much as possible, I want to pay pTax only on rental property.
If you buy a big house for own use, then make sure pTax Rate is low.
If your chosen city for your family home has a high pTax Rate, then make sure it is modest size.
Until you have enough capital, just stay rented, and enjoy the flexibility.
Reality — rent level in a given city is raised by pTax.
- If you occupy entire house then you enjoy no “offset”.
- If you rent out a single room (perhaps in the attic) then you get a small offset because part of the rent is effectively pTax.
- if you rent out entire floor you enjoy more offset
- If you use the 43R model, then you could enjoy 110% offset.
