Thanks for the clarification.  I guess that rules out a SMSF for my purposes.

What about this scenario, I can service a loan for a house but I want it in someone else's name, say a family member. 

How can i get the loan set up, but house not in my name?  So where I service the loan for someone else.  I could probably service it easily…[Read more]

Regarding the SMSF, i was told by my accountant that you cant legally gain any benefit from a SMSF investment, aside from the obvious return on the investment itself.  So if the SMSF invested in a property, you can gain from its capital increase but not the gain from living in the dwelling.

The other idea I had was gold, I have no idea if its a good investment, but I assume meets the…[Read more]

On a slightly different topic, but related, what are some ways of owning a property 'at arms length'?  So owning a property that you can use, like the family home, but not appear to own on the surface?

I'm thinking a family trust that is the property owner, with myself as beneficiary?  Is that the only…[Read more]
