Ask Noel

We bought our home in 2004 for $145,000 and have used it as our primary residence since then; an estate agent has valued the property at $240,000. We're about to relocate. We have thought about keeping our first home as a rental property but are not sure how capital gains tax will apply to our situation. Are we best to sell the property and cash in on the gain we have made or keep the property as an investment, as it is in a growth area and will most likely continue to appreciate in value?
