    Hi,

    I’m a property investor originally from the US but now based in Sydney. I have just recently bought few properties in Queensland with no money down and at the same time they have $30 positive cashflow every week. My question is in regards to structuring loan to finance my next few cashflow positive properties.

    Being originally from the US, I have managed to use creative financing to buy cashflow positive properties from day one. I have been taught that a good way to build up my property porfolio faster is to concentrate on buying properties with the help of owner financing example, 80% of the purchase price from bank or hardmoney lenders and 20% vendor financing. By using this type of creative financing allows me to buy my next properties without waiting for the other properties that I already have to appreciate before I could use the equity as collateral to fund my next investments.

    Is vendor financing common in Australia? Can I use this type of creative financing here to fund my investments? I have tried asking sellers here in Australia whether they would carry some of the mortgage for me but unfortunately, most or all the people I got in contact with are not familiar with the concept of vendor financing.

    Thanks.

    Kind regards,
    Allan

    It is not common here in residential investments. Having said that it is not unusual with farming properties and you may find rural people a little more receptive with the concepts along with their solicitors.

    I guess it is up to your negotiating skills.

    There are 100% lending products but they are a little more expensive and have some fairly rigid rules.

    Best of luck and I would love to hear how you go.

    Cheers,

    Thanks for the advice Simon. I’ll definitely give it a try.

    Actually, one of the deals that I have structured in the US using creative financing involved not just the seller but I got the realtor involved too, i asked her to leave some of her 6% commission on the deal and I’ll pay her 7%interest on her commision and luckily she agreed. I had to use multiple loans ie 4 loans to be exact to close on the deal and at the end it is still positive cashflow, it is only a few dollars positive income every week but hey cash is cash and it only took me 3 days to structure those loans.

    Got any advice on what kind of creative financing strategies I could use here in Australia?

    Thanks.

    Kind regards,
    Allan
