    have an idea can i split my house into 400 shares to sell to new mums but put the shares into  their new babies  names – shares will be for long term until that child turns 18 then house will be sold and all monies divided–  also house will be rented out over the 18 yr period and all monies from that will also go to the share holders account  omit all expenses can it be done ? and how can i do this ?

    for something that complicated i'd seek legal advice in your state, aslo check any federal laws that may overlap and superceede them.

    Yes, could be done but would be very costly and you would probably need a prospectus lodged with ASIC.

    Also many tax issues.

    Forget the selling in portions bit – it just won't work.

    Recently it took me 14 months to sell a property – you may have to reduce the price further and change agents to get a result.

    Well as your account isn't setup for private messages / email i may as well ask, where is the property situated and what are you trying to get for it ?

    I recently sold in Melbourne. I had to drop to be the most competitive property on the market and it still took 8 months to sell. In total I had to drop the asking price by around $100k, but sold it.

    Anything will sell at the right price. Most markets in Australia are slow at the moment, many are concerned about job security and interest rates are really uncertain due to the actions of RBA and the banks. Also valuations are coming in low in many areas, was this why your sales fell through?
