Yes if you wish to utilise that structure.
You cannot simply transfer your existing property into Trust without incuring additional Stamp Duty and other related costs.
In addition you would loose the FHOG benefit i assume you obtained and also the concessional Stamp duty which you have paid.Maybe start again for the next one.
Your Mortgage Broker should have advised you of the options available on the first deal.

i think you are re read Terry's post and you will see some of the pitfalls with the strategy you have adopted.
Richard Taylor | Australia's leading private lender
Away from Terry's comments which i totally agree with i think you may have a potential security issue.
I assume from your original post these properties will tend to be smaller style units as they are aimed at the single person / student. Just make sure the internal floor area is not too small and that they are not in a high rise where the mortgage insurers may want to limit their risk and not provide cover over 80%.
Also most lenders will want to see a separate bedroom, bathroom and kitchen and although some lenders will lend against studio units might want to see a separate laundry.

What sort of LVR would you be looking for and is there any real loan features you are seeking.
Richard Taylor | Australia's leading private lender
Firstly welcome aboard and I hope the Country is good to you on arrival.
Difficult one to answer as there are so many variables which include loan to valuation (most lenders limited to 90% at the moment), do you have clean credit, is serviceability a problem, are you looking for variable or fixed rate loan, what features do you require with the loan.
In a nutshell more information about your own personal position would be required to offer a constructive answer.

No the strategy is sound and as long as the loans are separate i cant see a problem.

Hi Don
The lender will want evidence of where the funds to complete will come from and a vendor loan will not be accpetable.
Secondly if i was the Vendor then i certainly would not take a PG without security. I am sure his Solicitor will advise him to take a 2nd mortgage to protect his interest.

I assure you in the present climate the Banks do not want the loan and are more risk adverse than you are.
Richard Taylor | Australia's leading private lender
I think your valuation will reveal that but i doubt it was referring to the property value more likely the land value.

Quick question for you. What lender will allow a Contract where you are borrowing 25% from the Vendor.
I appreciate the inventiveness but it is not as easy as that these days.
Banks require full disclosure and as soon as they see you are securing a 2nd mortgage over the property from the Vendor think you will find they will run a mile.

Sorry but that is one of the issues of X collateralising loans you just cant do it
If my IP lender does not want to remove the second mortgage on my PPOR I will just refinance them out of the equation.Assume that the Investment property has increased in value but your PPOR has fallen in value or has remained stagnant.
Sure you maybe able to refinance the IP loan but your existing lender may also ask you to pay down some of the debt on your PPOR mortgage.The whole concept of refinancing is usually to raise funds for further deposits but it is not that easy.
I have had 101 clients approach me over the years asking us to unravel the mess they have got into with X collateralising securities and you are at the prayer and whim of the existing lender.

Jack sorry slightly confused as to what you mean when you refer to "Capital Value" are you relating to the unimproved value of the land ?
With a little more information i am sure you get other responses.

Love your enthusiam and well done for wanting to start so young but regretfully you are bang on in saying that youare unable to purchase a property or enter into a mortgage before the age of 18. The same goes if you look to buy in Trust.
Remember even when you are old enough lenders will want to see sufficient income to service the loan as they only take a percentage of the rent into consideration and will be looking to rely on your income. The fact that the property is CF+ makes no difference at all at $9000 pa you would not even be able to show sufficient income to cover your living expenses (Under the Henderson Poverty Index a single person allowance is around $800 – $1000 / month).
Also away from the deposit 10% with most lenders you will need to cover your acqusition costs which could easily be another 6-8% so my suggestion would be to save as much as you can so that when you are legally able to enter into a Contract you have a good sized deposit.
Read, learn and talk to as many property investors as you can as 2 years will fly by.

Welcome to the forum and I hope you enjoy your time with us.
Agree with your sentiment but hate to say it is not all that easy depending on numerous factors
I intend to remove the second mortgage on my PPOR given to my IP lender as soon as my IP gives me a LVR of 80%, this will take a few years.

Varies from location to location.

Depends on the Council.

May not show on the Contract as if there is no rate shown the default rate will normally apply.
This will vary from State to State.

Been a few years since i did mine so subjects may have changed but from memory all of the above are covered (admitedly not in depth). All in all a broad brush really.
Advanced Dip you cover a fewer more subjects i slightly greater depth and then you have to specialise if you wish.
