Hi Ben
I have no argument regarding the information given in the posts above. However, when it comes to the “consumer marketplace” things become quite grey. Rulings in courts and tribunals seem to rely much less on what’s written in the legal paperwork, as against what is fair to the consumer.
For an indication on how various consumer advocate…[Read more]

Hi Robert
As you are leaning towards Victoria it may be best to utilise an Instalment (Terms) Contract for the on-selling of the property you buy/build. This is because VIC is unique in that it doesn’t charge Stamp Duty until the Contract of Sale “settles”. In other States, Stamp Duty is payable within a number of days after “exchange of…[Read more]

Hi All
If you are thinking of coming along don’t delay as there are only a few seats left. It’s looking like another sell out which shows just how many people are interested in bringing Vendor Finance into the mainstream.

Hi All
The Queensland Inaugural meeting for the Vendor Finance arm of the FBAA will be held on the 30th of April. We were lucky enough to get the registration link early but not early enough, half the seats have already sold. If you are in Queensland I would suggest you book in early as this event will sell out quicker than Melbourne and…[Read more]

Hi CW
I am currently a Responsible Manager for both our ACL’s and have recently resigned from another Responsible Manager position I was covering for a third party due to various concerns.

Hi Steve
Terry’s recommendation is spot on, i.e. Lewis O’Brien is, in my opinion, the ‘go to’ vendor finance solicitor in Vic.
However be very careful of Victorian state legislation regarding Lease/Options and Stamp Duty. Unlike most other States of Australia, Stamp Duty in Victoria is not normally payable until Title transfer occurs. In most…[Read more]

Hi weathjess
I like the ideas here regarding the retention of this property. As a number of people have mentioned, there does seem to be an opportunity to do something with the hospital.
However if that doesn’t work out, you may get some ideas regarding a long distance ‘negative2positive’ vendor finance sale at CLICK HERE.

Knowing Jason personally and knowing how long he’s been in the industry I’d suggest you take his advice to heart ;-)
Back in 2003 when we started in Vendor Finance (VF), marking up a property by 20% over market price was the standard. How things have changed! Our standard way of pricing a VF sale these days is to do an auto-valuation on…[Read more]

Hi Lejo
We write our Terms Contract (Instalment Contracts) to mimic traditional home loans, i.e. they have a 30 year term with a variable interest rate. Therefore, if you make your regular payments over 30 years the loan will be paid out.
If for some reason you could you cannot continue to pay a traditional home loan, the property is put up for…[Read more]
