Fearless and Chan$, for unrelated parties buying together the only trust I would use would be a unit trust. This keeps all entitlements in line with unit ownership. Any form of discretionary trust with unrelated parties is just asking for trouble.
Fearless, contact a mortgage broker regarding how to set it up. I’d say there are a couple of ways. One is to borrow the money individually, and buy units in the trust. This would probably leave the house unencumbered.
Another way is for the trustees (either individudals or company) to borrow/guarantee the loan with the house as security. This method is the one I am doing at the moment.

Good point Melbear. What I meant in the above posted was for those who some how related or both trustees or director of corporate trustee. Thanks for clarification.

Fair enough, the positive cash flow is what helps you live day to day, the capital gain makes you very easy money, infact, growing out of thin air (or with the birth of every new child) I totally agree with you chan, but what about the ease of these small town properties, no capital gain, some positive cash flow slightly possible, BUT you get the assurance that you will be able to handle rate hikes (very cheap propety) find them easily, avoid realestate costs (lots are sold privately)and even the worst tenants are good because they expect less of you and the house wasn’t that good to start with. Maybe its an idea for the ‘poor man’ of realestate, one with no capital, or very little to start with??? PLEASE leave your thoughts here, it seems to make good sense to me. Somebody tell me the bad things about it, with back up, not speculation. cheers.
Still not agreed because the way I think is that if the town die out then I lose everything.
I might gain for 15 years but I will the lot after all.
If you think it is good why not go for it and have a try for 15 years and let me know how you go.
