Try spliting them into different Trusts. Go to several different banks, one for each Trust; each of them using you as a guarantor. As you do not (yet) have a liquidated debt, you can act as the guarantor.This will also allow you to borrow much more in the long run.

I assume you have not made contact with the selling agent?
As regards the agent getting his fees, that would also depend on when his contracct ceases (usually no more than 3 months).
A corner block 'usually' gets an additional 5% space allowance in regards to block size: ie: an 1,160 sm site with a min 400sm building size (just 2 x blocks) could get an additional 5% (+58sm) = 1,218 = (3 x 400+sm) allowing you to build the 3 you need.
Visit the town planning department and put your plan to them….they are usually forthright.
As for submitting a DA, the planning department does not 'usually' require detailed plans: you can do your best effort yourself; with detailed plans to follow.  All they need are a representation of the block and the boundaries plus the suggested building locations.
Do a title search yourself, estimated cost is about $70…this will have the address of the owner if its different to the street address.
Send a confidential letter to either the stree address and the discovered owners home address, seeking a private meeting with a view to buying.
You could also look at going into partneship with him to build the 3 units. It works like this;
1. You get an option to purchase at a set price (say $800K [as it will take several months-12+ to complete so an extra $50K/6.6%
and no 20% deposit required on your side plus no transfer taxes as its not 'yet' been sold/transfered.
2. You get a licence to occupy the land with authority to build.
3. Get a valuation set at the date of completion on all 3 units.
4. You fund the building of the units via a bank loan. NOTE: If you pre-sell just 2 of the units, the banks will usually fund the entire project.
5. Sell all 3 units by transfering the option to purchase to the end buyer; they pay the state stamp duty, not you.
6. You then slpit the profits (after deducting the $800K for the land and building costs, including interest, fees etc) or you take one unit [to hold, rent etc] as your profit.
By using an option, you will save yourself ~$40K in stamp duty/lost income/lost profits and not have to tie up at least $160K in a deposit~you can use that same money as your building fund/deposit with the banks covering the remainder [up to 100% if you manage to pre-sell at least 2 units during the months it will take to get council final approvals, find a builder etc.
As a base line, with a land content of $800K/3 = $266K each (1/3rd of the land+building valuation) plus 2/3rds in building valuation ($533K) = a selling price of ~$800K each x 3 = $2.4mil. Does $800K each for house and land seem right for this type of area on a ~400sm block?

You can write up your offer in the following term: …this offer is open until date/time OR a shorter period should I recieve acceptance for any other offer.
This allows you to submit several offers at the same time with the confidence that you will only be obliged to settle on the first offer accepted. Make sure that you also include the Date AND Time of acceptance in your written offer.
Just to make sure, you also withdraw all other offers via email before you recieve any other acptenaces: you do this at the same instance you get your first (and now only) acceptenace.
It also puts a 'little' pressure on the seller to make a decision.
Never be put off by any agent suggesting or refucing to immediately submit a written offer to the seller. They may 'suggest' that they will not be able to submit the offer until after normal work hours to the seller….thats BS in todays mobile phone/TXT/email world. If the agent does dont have immediate access to a seller I would be surprised.
You may also like to confirm with the agent as to how and when he will communicate with the seller.  You may suggest that he phone the seller in your presence.

Asking a silly question? Why do you want to rid yourself of a cash generator?
Are you looking to retire or to move onto other projects?
If you need cash for additional projects, why not borrow against the equity you have built up to 'x'ly your IP projects?
Failing that, if you still want to sell up and get out, why not borrow, use the equity while you wait for a buyer…it sounds like this will be a narrow market and will take some time to sell?

It is usual that owners only 'own' the inside of the property (excluding the roof space. IE They only won and control from the first layer of paint inwards.
If you are worried about unlimited liability, I suggest that you convert the BC to a company with limited liability with each unit owner having a licence or share with the right to exclusvely occupy a nominated unit (with they can transfer).

Are you looking to just value the property with the improvements or as a business as a going concern (with its attached cash flow)? This will have a major influence on the valuation.

Try the following:
Start the new job abd getthe $500 a week into her pocket.
Do NOT sign over the $70 loan or walk away from it.
See what the partnership agreement has to say about how to end the partnership.
Have the partnership valued; you may find that the value has already dropped.
Remind the remaining 40% + 20% partners that their share of profits will increase once she rrtires from the partnership.
Offer to sell your 40% to the guy with just 20% and give him the controling interest.
Apply to the District Court to wind up the partnership.

You will need o check to see if you own the property as 'Joint Tenanats (with a set %)' or as 'Tenants in Common' with a common interest, no matter what funds were included.
I am not sure if NSW will allow you to change from one to the other at a cost to you. If your moving from TinC to JT (with a stated %) this should be quire easy.
As you are not transfering the property to a 3rd party, I wuld suspect that you will not be charged, other than some admin costs.

Unless there is a specific clause in the BC rules, politely refuse.
I would also send the letter to the tenant asking the tenant to pay for the costs incurred. (Thing about including this in your next lease as a special clause).
As for the offending flatmate, does your tenant have your written permission to have flatemates within your lease? NEVER allow any person to stay in a rental unless they are rigistered on the lease, no matter what. This gives you more power of their behaviour and several sources of income if one defaults on rent. It also ensures that every person in the flat has had a rental check completed on them by the agent. It also ensures that every person in the flat has a committment to abiding by the rules and ensuring that the flat stays clean…as the other party will be left with the bills if one does not do the right thing.
If not, advise the tenant that the flatmate has to go within 7 days.
I would do this via registered letter with a breach notice a away of correcting the breach(s).
