Good idea, but not all banks will allow this.

CBA are like that. They won’t tell you the figure, but will tell you what 80% is. Strange isn’t it!

Most people would have done it the other way around. Your most valuable asset is securing your investment property. But it should be pretty safe!

Yes you could restructure and get a loan secured against your investment property and access that equity for deposits for investment properties. You should be able to buy a fair few with that sort of…[Read more]

If you were going for a low doc loan, htey would not know wheter you are trading or not! No proof is needed.

Hi
I agree wiht that. I have used a buyers agent when buying interstate too and it has worked out well.

You can still pay off your mortgage and invest at the same time. Imagine if you got into a few positive cashflow properties, you could get a LOC secured on your house, so you ‘home loan’ would remain the same level, then buy cashflow property using IO loans, and pour the excess funds into your home loan-paying it off in now time.

this happens a fair bit with commerical and farm type deals. I haven’t see it yet for ordinary residential.

Of course. You would have to pay tax on your profits (income minus expenses), this would be added on top of your other income. If this figure is negative it reduces the amount of tax you pay, but if positive, then you will pay more tax.

If you can keep comming up with 20% deposits, then you can keep on buying property. There are many ways to get the deposit such as wraps, option fees, wages, capital growth, saving positve rental income, money partners etc.

Watch out for ASIC regulations if you are going to advertise for investors too!

Good post Rod.

Just a few more points. The family law court has wide reaching powers and is able to reach assets held within a trust and split them accordingly in some circumstances (so watch out!).

Centrelink also has recently become aware of people using trusts to lower their income and so if they deem you to control hte trust, they will…[Read more]

I’ve used eurofinance a few times and they are very good. There are no break costs on this product, they can even roll it over into their Adelaide bank low doc with no new application needed. I think it is 1.25% app fee and another 1% fee if the LVR goes over 80% (max 85%). Hpe this helps.

2 good low docs without LMi include Adelaide Bank and ING bank, both up to 76% without LMI.

Others include ANZ and St george at 65% LVR.

I think it is agood strategy to get as much money as you can early on when it is easy, ie 95% if possible. Keep you cash for future properties. Then reduce you LVR as you go forward. changing to 80%,…[Read more]

We have a 85% asset lend available. But the rates are very high and it is only for property in ‘cities’. 9.5%!

I would form a distretionary trust if I was in your situation. It would only cost about $1000, but could save you thousands.

I’ve been to his free seminars a few times (few years ago), and I got a lot of good info from it. I reckon if it is free, then worth going.

Absolutly nothing. No accounting is needed unless you trade. No Bas statements unless you register for the GST.

i don’t know what you mean by setup fees. Some of what you mention can only be depreciated. the setup cost of the trust (trust deed etc) cannot be claimed (I think) as it is not really an expense of the trust. If your trust owns a car and you use it for personal reasons, then you will have to pay FBT. So really there would be no…[Read more]
