    If there is a boom on, why sell? You will probably make more money negatively gearing than with a cashflow positive place (unless it too is in a booming place!).

    You could get a mortgage on the current property, using a no doc loan – no questions concerning income are asked. You could get $344,000 and use this as cash for the deposit for the second. You would then get another No Doc loan for the second one for 65% of the value, $475,000 = a total of $819,000 which should be enough to cover your expenses as well.

    I assume you would rent out one property to help with servicing until you could sell the original one. Anyway, it would be a temporary situation, so is not a major drama, but these things tend to take longer than expected.

    An option doesn’t have to have a fixed strike price. You could have, for example:
    a) market price, determined by 3 independent valuers, including one from an ANZ panel valuer, less 10%.
    b) market price, determined by 3 independent valuers, including one from an ANZ panel valuer, less 40% of all rent paid during the term.
    c) a fixed price (eg. 20% above current value) less 40% of all rent paid during the lease.

    etc.

    There are many possibiliets.

    And even if this costs you a few thousand to set up, if you can avoid CGT and stamp duty, then this could save ten times that.

    You haven’t factored in costs such as rates, repairs, agents fees, accounting etc.

    These would be claimable, as would borrowing costs (over 5 years) and depreciation on fixtures and fittings and building (depending on age).

    this would probably be negative cashflow even after tax breaks.

    Are the capital growth prospects high? If not, why buy?

    Talk to your accountant. I would suggest a trust of somesort.

    And watchout, you can’t just setup a LOC and use the money for the trust/company. Loan agreements need to be drawn up so that the interest can be claimed – as they will be different entitites.

    I think Steve and Dave setup trusts where both were directors or the trustee companies.

    Lucifer, Centrelink know all about trusts now. If you control one they will treat the trust assets as your own. They treat ‘control’ very broadly. So they generally do not work in this way anymore, even if you are a beneficiary, it will affetc your pension.

    Kez, Just give centrelink a call and they will be able to tell you. My grandfather is going thru this atm, and I know the thresholds are low, but not sure on the exact amounts.

    I think most people would find it pretty hard finding a second mortgage that exceeds 80% LVR.

    Rob, Yes for commercial second mortgages, but we’re talking vendor financing here. ie where the vendor lends the deposit to the purchaser and takes a second mortgage as security.

    Flipping is onselling before settlement. Of course, you can do that, no govt is going to stop you selling!

    There are various ways to deal with defaults, not all involving courts. You could just let them out of the contract, if no equity, or you could chase them for the rest. If there is equity, then they could sell, renegotiate the loan term, or you could offer them cash settlement etc.

    If they want to sell, that is ok. They just organsie a simultaneous settlement, settling with you and then immediately with the new purchaser. This happened to one of mine, and they made more money than I did.

    There is another recent post here about a dfaulting wrapper. I think it the the ‘SMH article on wrapper’ post.

    I think the major stumbling block would be the fee charged by the credit card company (2-3%), if the agency is prepared to wear this then it wouln’t be a probably – as long as they had the facility.

    Why do you want to get rid of this? Sounds like you won’t be making hardly any money on the wrap. maybe better to just sell?

    I was at the recent course in Sydney, and I think he said about 1/3 of his ‘dwellings’ were wrapped.

    You can purchase a booklet on the legal aspects at http://www.lawcentral.com.au

    And have a look at some of Brad Sugars’ books such as ‘Billionaire in training’.

    I beleive lenders could pull the loan. ie give you x days to repay the loan. This happend recently to a big ‘wrapper’ (allegedly for other reasons than non disclosure). Dig out some of those old mortgage agreements that you have and read through it.

    I have an old one here, from a bank i won’t name (start swith an A and ends in a Z – with a N in there somewhere).

    it states:

    I will not do ….. grant any rights of any kind over the property.

    And then, states the borrower will be in default if any of the provisions are breached. The bank can then do anything deemed necessary, including taking possession.
