    Hi David

    It is very simple it is taken from the date of the Contract.

    Assume you see a property you want to buy, sign the contract on 1st January 2007 but settle at the end of March. You list the property for sale in December of that year.

    The discount would only apply if the Contract was dated after 2nd January 2008. I would allow a few extra days to be on the safe side.

    Cheers

    Think someone is having a lend on you.

    In a case like this any GST payable would be based on the margin scheme being 1/11 of the margin between the sale price and the purchase price. You would have claimed input credits along way.

    In saying this GST is not always payable on a residential property unless of course this a business for you and you are GST registered.

    CGT is also payable on the capital gain only (difference between the sale price and the original purchase less adjustments) If this is a business and you are doing this regularly it will be treated as trading income and not CGT.

    I think you have totally misunderstood the responses you have received.

    Whether you or the lender pays the LMI is neither here nor there it is as Terry mentions more important that the loan is actually insured and will effect your future borrowings.

    Why would you not go to lender who does not insure the loan at all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Dale Gothram-Goss is one of the leading experts on HDT’s certainly in Victoria.

    Not sure if he still taking on new clients but if you want a recommendation you could not go past my Accountant.

    Let me know if you need a recommendation Julie.

    Given yours and Daryl’s occupation a Trust might make sense as a way of protecting Assets.

    Hi Pizang

    Marc is accurate in assessment but every day new loan products get introduced to the market.

    One of the latest is a shared equity product whereby clients can live in an house where probably loan repayments would be higher than they could afford yet the are only required to make payments on 75% of the purchase price.

    There is no interest charged or repayments made during the loan term and the lender takes his money out of a share of the profit when the house is sold.

    This frees up monthly income to enable to buyer to invest more in IP’s yet still living in an attractive upmarket area.

    I had a client today who was unable on serviceability to purchase a waterfront property they wanted at Noosa but by only making payments on 75% of the purchase price could easily afford it.

    They have gone to contract and with the suplus funds are looking to get into 2 separate IP’s.

    It is not a matter of what a lender will lend you but more about what you feel confortable in paying back.

    Cheers

    No Dave you would stay put with the same lender so that exit fees didnt apply.

    Just remember it would depend on whether the valuer agreed with you that the property had gone up in value.

    I assure you i have no need to promote my business.
    I have slighly more than 40 properties as anyone who has read my posts over the last 8 years will know.

    Do you wanna bet your loans are not mortgage insured ?

    Why not tell us who the lender is and we can all benefit

    Hi CGG

    Rather than rent to buy or similar why not try a shared equity scheme.

    You repayments would stay the same but as you give up an element of the equity to a 3rd party you would be able to get into a more expensive property.

    With Vendor financing you are going to end up paying an increased interest rate and loaded purchase price as they vendor is waiting for her capital.

    Trust me i have done one or two wraps and LTO and we did not do them for nothing

    Hi VMD

    I guess you have 3 real options:

    1) Sell your PPOR and rent and then use the left over cash surplus to invest in IP’s. Trouble is you will have rental payments to make and if you ever want to get back into the market prices will have gone up.

    2) Retain the PPOR and look at refinancing using a shared equity scheme to release cash in your PPOR and this will fee up capital to enable you to invest in IP’s.

    3) Utilise the equity in your PPOR and borrow against the equity to invest.

    All 3 ways have benefits in their own right and I guess it is an individual decison as only you know what you and the famly could put up with.

    Feel free to express more thoughts on the forum and see what other ideas members come up with.

    Cheers

    Thankfully we still live in a democracy so yes you do have a right.

    All i say is dont cast everyone with your tainted brush until you get know them a little better.

    Yes hopefully ASIC and other Government related bodies do read such forums.

    Hopefully this will your first and only post with comments like that.

    Do you not think that members correspond with members off the forum or by email.

    How do you think i knew Tammy’s name.

    Does she mention it anywhere in any of the correspondance –
    NO i think not.

    Would it be that i am totally aware of her position financially and what she is trying to achieve her income, liabilites, what the funds were used for, her goals and aspirations both now and in the future – MAYBE YES.

    Just think about non constructive comments before you post them as most members here are here for the benefit of other.

    Just to quantify it is unlikely with the removal of the Super Fund Surcharge that your Trust will have any income as it will distribute this to the beneficiaries at the end of each year.

    Baldy

    Assuming you are the Trustee and beneficiary then both.

    Unikely the DT is going to have much income though so it more likely down to you.

    I hold the appropriate WA Credit License to assist WA clients – YES.

    Might even have 1 or two happy ones on the forum here who can give me a wrap.

    Hi V

    Firstly congratulations on your decision to make the move north to sunny Qld. The area is god garden but keep that to yourself as otherwise the rest of Victoria will be up here.

    If you sell the property you will realise the equity in the home and be able to use this as deposit on your new property. The problem being that the interest on the PPOR will be non tax deductible.

    You will have the sale costs including agents fees and commission etc etc.

    If you do not sell then the interest on your current home loan which will now be an IP will become tax deductible however i assume that you will now have to borrow 100% of the new purcahse price in Qld and the entire amount will be non tax deductible.

    An alternative if you believe that the current area has good growth prospect and also feel it will make a ideal rental home would be to consider selling the property to an HDT. You would borrow the full value of the property and then with the difference between the value and the loan outstanding would use this as deposit for your home in Qld. The purpose of these funds is to buy an IP and therefore will become fully Tax deductible.

    You will then only have to support a smaller loan on your new PPOR.

    Downside is that you will have to pay stamp duty on the sale of the property from you to your HDT and the property will loose its GCT Free status which will last for the next 6 years.

    In saying this you will have $330K of tax deductible interest and even having to pay duty on the purchase will not take long to recoup.Each year thereafter you will benefit that the inetrest on this amount is a a deductible expense.

    Cheers

    Hi Wayne

    Ok LOC maximum is normally 90% although i know of one lender that will go to 95%. Anything over 80% usually requires LMI which is of course Tax deductible if the funds are for investment / business.

    All interest from the LOC is tax deductible if the funds are to be used for funding deposits for IP purchases on anything that is used to generate a Taxable income.

    Interest rate wil vary but normally you maybe be looking at a 0.01% higher rate than a standard variable loan but given the flexibility and that it is tax deductible it is nothing.

    Make sure you dont X Collaralise those loans though as it is a lenders whim to suggest that course of action. .

    Cheers

    Linda

    Just amend the contract initial the change and post it back.
    Once the Vendor signs the Contract and the Selling Agents has received the deposit, he dates and executes the document.

    If buying Qld make sure that you do not terminate under the “Cooling Off” clause and check that your finance & building inspection clauses are realistic.

    Many Qld Vendors are now not extending these dates and placing the properties back on the market at a higher price.

    Spoke to clients last night from Victoria who were not aware of the Qld process. We are a little different to others.
