    Hi Terryw,
    wow, that all went over my head!….how I can find out about trustee’s and discretionary trust and the relationships you mentioned with a company name..?…is that something that information I can get from the company you work for (Discover Home Loans) or is it something from legal advice….?

    Hi Melbear and Simon,
    I was just reading Steve’s reply to the question posted by “Damajoo” and he stated as follows:

    ” Hi Anita,

    Thanks for your post and welcome to the community!

    quote:1. In whose name did you buy the properties?

    In the name of the entity which we set up to contropl our property investments. I believe that owning assets in your own name is not the best idea as you can be sued and the lot is on the line. Instead Dave and I created a structure where we control our wealth without owning it in our own names.”


    When Steve refers to the ‘entity’ is he referring to a company name which he has set up to be the ‘owner’ of all of his investments..? If so, how is he position at sale time in regards to the 30% tax you have mentioned..? In anycase, I was under the impression that you had to live in a property as the owner for at least the first 12months of ownership to avoid CGT…..I hope I have not spoken out of turn here….!?[:I]

    Hi Melbear, thanks for the reply and the welcome.
    So if one week the variable rate is 7% (in the Mrs G scenario) then the passed on rate will be 9% and if the following week the variable rate is 8% the passed on rate will be 10% and the weekly amount to be paid by Mrs G will vary week to week..?? It sounded like (in the book) that the amount was fixed and so was the weekly amount hence the encouragement to have an auto-debit arrangement with Mrs G….??
    As for the 2nd part of my question, like you I am still a little confused, I am sure it is just the way I am interpreting the table as the post acuisition/settlement amount obtained from Mrs G is incorporated into the equation which I am interpreting as being the “initial” acquisition numbers, hence the 602 surplus…..I guess this is just rolled into the mortgage as a repayment..?
