Hey Toby,
I also had this issue surrounding borrowing capacity of trusts where I received conflicting views, with everyone saying it can’t be done.
I eventually got to the bottom of it, it can be done. You just need to find a broker that understands what they are doing. My broker even sent me screenshots of Bank Policy and emails from CBA and…[Read more]

Hi Steve,
I find this strange as I spoke to the business bankers of all Big4 banks. I also asked for there managers, which confirmed policy’s that a directors guarantee is a personal liability even for a positive cashflow property.
All banks had similar reasoning, and when I explained to them that I do not have any loans (since the company that…[Read more]

Hey everyone,
I was wondering if someone could please provide a list of banks and lending institutions that do not consider a directors guarantee as a personal liability.
All Big4 banks do not allow income to be recycled multiple times, because the directors guarantee is considered a personal liability.
If someone could provide a list, it…[Read more]

I will definitely have to look into the specifics to get a figure for borrowing capacity.

Thanks Benny for the reply,
My question was a bit broader, I should have included more detail.
Basically, if a business has acquired assets with its revenue and incurred debt to expand business operations, will the banks still be in the position to lend money, based on the revenue or net worth of assets. So for example, would the business…[Read more]

Hi everyone,
I’m in the process of acquiring a cashflow business. In Steve McKnight’s book he talks about using income from a job and becoming a guarantor for the loan. I am wondering if this is the same process with business income.
So the question I am asking is, can the revenue of a business be recycled using trusts? And also will the banks…[Read more]

Hi all,
I have found a few properties that meet Steve McKnight’s “The 11-Second Rule”.
These positive cashflow properties are located in Emerald and Mackay, where vacancy rates are low and there is great positive cashflow.
However, although these towns are well diversified, they a good amount of there revenue is brought in from mining.

Thanks for the reply Steve,
I have sought external advice again and the assets are actually protected in a trust. I am unsure of what the lawyer’s view of trusts is, but I am going to take it that it is wrong, especially since so many people buy properties in trusts specifically for that purpose.
Charlie.

I am receiving conflicting views from my lawyers and accountants and it is making it very difficult for me to understand things.
One of the things I have been told by my lawyer is that holding property in a trust won’t protect your assets from creditors if I ‘benefit from’ the property.
Therefore, I have been told that it does not…[Read more]
