This is a great question to ask your accountant, but if youre in a relationship, its possible for the title of the property to be in both names. A joint tenant, where both your names will appear on the property title, is a good option if you are in a similar tax bracket. The income and expenses will be recorded individually on each of your tax returns in equal parts. If your spouse/partner is on a lower tax bracket, then its a good option to place a positively geared property in his/her name. A negatively geared property should be placed in the name of the partner with the higher income as it creates a larger return that aids cashflow.
