I would only buy something if there was good potential for capital growth. Rental yield is good, but won’t get you far without an increase in value.

As a guide, these non conforming lenders have a credit matrix whereby they rate the applicant in terms of risk. Each lender is different, but most have about 5 ratings. Each rating has a different interest rate to reflect the risk. Low Docs are also a bit higher in interest rates, and rates also rise as you go higher with the LVR. If someone is a recent bankrupt of less than one one year, they may save about 0.60% if they waited until after 12 months.

One of my wrappees rented out the property – without my permission. I didn’t know until after they settled on it. Had no problems at all.

The trouble with Financial Planners, is it is hard to find a good one that will recmoment property. Most earn high commissions from managed funds and annuities etc. So it may be best to find one that charges you upfront, rather than one that just gets a commission. This way, they should be less biased.

No. But some banks do take into account negative gearing benefits and depreciation – eg. Macquaire Bank.

I think it would only be deductible if the charity is registered in Australia with the ATO as a non profit organisation???
But if you had a trust, then the trust could probably distribute some money to the charity before tax.??

Hi Misty
Sorry, I can’t really understand your questions fully, but…
A trust is not a legal entity, so cannot be sued. It is the trustee that is the one that can be sued. Maybe even directors of the trustee company can be sued too, if they have made bad decisions.
If the trust property is used as security, and payments aren’t made then the property can be taken by the mortgagor.
If the trustee or director of the trustee company gives a personal guarrantee for loans or rent etc, then they will be personally liable and their non trust assets will be at risk. etc
ps. I am not a lawyer.

A trust is certainly very useful. As John mentioned, a discretionary would be ok if you are positively geared, but a hybrid may work out to be more effective tax wise, so check with you accountant. setup costs vary from $175 – $2500. I have even heard of one case where someone had a barrister prepare a trust deed whihc cost $10,000.

It is pretty hard to convince a valuer that the property has gone up so quickly. That will probably be the hardest part.
You will not be able to access the equity before settlement, but with some banks you could apply for a loan increase immediately after settlement, and get the place revalued and borrow up to 90% of this new value. But there would be extra fees invloved such as loan variation fees, and maybe valuation, LMI, Stamp duty on the increased protion of the loan etc.

I think it depends on the state you are in. eg. I have wrapped (installment contract) in VIC 3 times, with the wrappees getting access to the FHOG immediately at settlement (or soon after), even tho the property was in my name, and I had a loan on it. This was about 3 years ago now, so things may have changed.

Hi
13% sounds very high!
There are about 5 main lenders (non-conforming) that could help you. eg. Discharged bankrupts (more than 1 year) could get up to 90% at 9.99% with Bluestone. but having only recently started your business will make it harder. With Bluestone, if you have less than 12 months trading history, the LVR would be a max of 75% with an interest rate of 9.29%.

Acey
Unfortunately most good low doc loans require that the applicant be self employed for more than 2 years. Mot want an ABN or company registered longer than 2 years as proof.

As far as I know, there is only one company offering full disclosure loans. Don’t recall the name, but a guy called Peter Sollner is involved, and it is up near Newcastle somewhere.

I start with getting 95% loans with the LMI added on top, trying to use as little cash as posisble because I didn’t have much to spare. However, It is good to get 80% loans if you have hte equity.

I have seen a lot of clients recently where the values have come in less than the contract price a few years earlier.
