    Hi Terry,

    Thanks for the clarification.  I guess that rules out a SMSF for my purposes.

    What about this scenario, I can service a loan for a house but I want it in someone else's name, say a family member.

    I guess what I'm asking is, what can I buy thats small enough to fit in a box, but likely to retain its value in years to come?

    OK, thanks for the advice.

    On a slightly different topic, but related, what are some ways of owning a property 'at arms length'?  So owning a property that you can use, like the family home, but not appear to own on the surface?

    I'm thinking a family trust that is the property owner, with myself as beneficiary?  Is that the only…[Read more]

    I should say, I'm in Australia.
