I am planning to change from R1 to R4 zoning.

The block of land meets all the requirements, just wondering if anyone knows or has experience in doing so.

Thanks,

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]

I am now looking to invest in the USA.

I was wondering if you would kindly please share any secrets/stragegies.

Am I also able to increase borrowing capacity by purchasing in trusts in the USA?

Please let me know.

Kind regards,

Charlie

I was just wondering if anyone knows any banks that do not require a directors guarantee for a property that is positively geared.

If someone could please name these banks (Steve says some banks offer this) and the requirements for lending, could you please let me know as I have the 20% deposit required but preferably do not want to…[Read more]

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]

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]

Thanks for our phone conversation today, was great speaking to you and absorbing your knowledge.

The link to email you does not seem to be working, do you mind providing me with your email address.

Thanks,

I will be in contact.

Hi Steve,

I hope you had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

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

Thanks,

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]

I am going to continue researching the town and gather the data you mentioned. I have also taken a hard look at the training centre articles, which as well were very useful.

I am concerned though as a lot of online articles mention climate change, and the transformation to a carbon neutral world, so I…[Read more]

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]

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.

So my…[Read more]

I re-read the book and now consolidated my understanding.

I look foreword to applying this knowledge.

Thanks for your help,

I was online researching the rates on the Australian Government Bonds for the 30 year period. The Bond has a yield of 3.722% (last update 13 Dec 2022 6:15 GMT+0).

This is where my question comes in. I am seeking to know if the Bond yield gives an indication of interest rates over the 30 year period. Does a correlation exist between…[Read more]

I want to know what the best possible structure for holding properties is and the strategies that the billionaire’s use.

Under a trust structure, the profits are able to be distributed to the beneficiaries.

However, I NEVER want to own anything in my personal name ever and do not want to receive distributions personally for me or…[Read more]

I received further advice and a second opinion from another lawyer, which did confirm that trusts split asset/control and provide protection from being sued.

I will be more careful in the future when asking these questions, taking chances is not worth it, especially since it could lead to r…[Read more]

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]

I am seeking to short sell properties that are being pressured for foreclosure.

Does anyone know where I can find properties that have a foreclosure notice?

I have tried contacting the family court, supreme court and federal court but cannot find any notices of foreclosures there?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Charlie.

I am having trouble understanding the technicalities around Purchasing a property using a trust.

I just wanted to confirm, as the trust is owned by the company, when I apply for a loan, do I take the loan out in the name of the company that holds the trust or the trust itself?

Any help understanding this is much…[Read more]

I have spent a lot of time researching properties in different locations around Australia, but after completing a cashflow analysis, have not been able to find any positively geared properties.

I am sure that they are out there, I would just like some guidance and any suggestions in where to look.

Any suggestions of areas you are c…[Read more]
