it is possible, you just have to keep coming up with the deposits. If you are positively geared overall, you should be able to keep on going.

I’ve ran some figures and assumed a 5% rental yield on the rentals. It seems she wouldn’t be able to get a ‘normal’ loan based on serviceability. There is a lot of equity available there and she has done well.

Depending on her circumstances, it may pay to consider selling the property with the highest equity and paying down her PPOR loan,…[Read more]

I didn’t end up going to the seminar, as I suspected they would cancl a few speakers etc and it would be a waste of time. I bet it was John McGrath that was cancelled?

Get one of the mortgage broker magazines such as MPA- Mortgage Professionals Australia and go thru all the ads in there. We use FAST, who only take a flat fee per deal.

One thing you have to watch out for is the safetly of your trails.

Terry,
What do the banks you mention need to approve a loan when there is money left in the deal. Will they still do 80%LVR of the TOTAL sale price?

Hi LifeX.

Sorry for the late reply – been away.

I have put a scenario to these lenders, but never…[Read more]

short term loans secured by caveats on this and/or other property is available for about 6% to 10% per month. They can usually settle in about 5 days. These are far from ideal, but you may not have an option.

Do you mean the one that involves taxing trusts as companies? If so, this will have virtually no effect on the effectiveness of trusts!

30 days is not much time. Beware, banks are slow!!!! Some lenders can settle in as little as 5 days, but others would be pushing to settle on time for a 42 day settlement.

I have put a few clients with Hybrids thru BankWest and they had no problems.

Another option would have been to offer the agent a % of the money saved. eg 50% of every dollar saved under a purchase price of $250,000. If the agent negotiated it down to $240,000 they would get $5000.

yes, I think it owuld be hard to wrap as the purchaser could not build unless they have the funds themselves (ie they could not borrow).

Maybe you could vendor finance the purchasers deposit?

I personally would not touch retirement homes. You may be able to get higher rental yields, but the growth would possibly be not as high as standard residential, they are also harder to resell and, as already stated, hard to finance.

Hi Cajun

I would be wary of setting up a Hybrid trust online. It would be best to go to an accountant at first.

If you are looking for a property, you could get a loan approval in your name only and latter provide the copy of the deed. Make sure yu tell them up front that is what you are doing as some banks won’t lend for trusts.

But whatout,…[Read more]

If you can keep coming up with deposits you can keep getting loans.

Maybe you mean change you existing discretionary trust deed to a hybrid one – before you actually buy anything?

If so, some of my clients have done this and it nearly costs them as much as the original deed. It might be better to just keep the old one and get a new additional hybrid trust made up.

Yes, it will be hard to do with LMI approval, especially if there are more than 4 in the block (=more risk). tell us a bit more…

Forgot. Another option would be to use an ‘option’ as this would limit your risk to the price of the option fee. When done, you could just assign your option for a fee. If done correct, there would be no stamp duty involved.

To resell a property you need to own it first. Theoretically you could get a long settlment and then do your renos and then find a buyer who will settle at the same time as yourself. If you could do this, you would not need a loan.

If not, you will need to settle on the property to resell = getting a loan unless you have cash.
