I believe if the Govt. Cancelled Neg Gearing Benefits, they would send most mum and dad investors to the wall. They would also increase the costs of Private Housing astronomically. This would in turn lead to an increased number of homeless etc.

Could be an interesting experiment though…

Horses for Courses is the best answer I think anyone can give you in relation to this. Now I have to ask – Are the people who are knocking these trusts actually investing or are they working up the courage to think about it?

Personally I am looking at setting up a trust in order to protect my assets. Any potential Taxation benefits which arise…[Read more]

Oops. Thanks for that Richard. I did indeed mean that, and my apologies for any confusion I may have caused in that regard…

I saw a Rate chart for one of the trans tasman lenders yesterday out of interest. Their rates were ok and they will let you fund your Deposit anyway you like. They also allow you the simplicity of keeping your Australian Bank Account and NOT having to open one in N.Z.

Good Luck…

ABN for 1 day prior to purchasing the Property = BAS statement = $$$Refund.

Personally I wouldn’t look at anything below 7.8% gross yield, although now I’m having to recalculate with the rate rise. As previously stated it all comes back to you and your strategy.

What do you want your investments to do for you?

I removed my earlier post as I spoke too soon…

Yes they still exist. All you need to do is look, Speak with agents and educate them as to what you are looking for – They will call you as soon as they find it generally. They do this because they get the same commission for the sale if they list and sell it to you in a day or they sell it to joe blow at the third open house. Saves them time…[Read more]

Perhaps you could buy as many as is possible between yourself and your family and friends. Then all you really need to do is compile the infrastructure required for the shops, daycare etc; and build it. Or attract some investment to the area.

My first thought was the office/study concept although that is mentioned as was the medie room thought I had as well. What about a sewing room? or a hobby room?

hrb – Depends on where you are in relation to what can be done. Perhaps seeking legal advice would be an option. Generally speaking though if the agent has mis-represented the Property, you MAY (if I could underline that I would) have some recourse against them. Then again you could find yourself having to prove what was said. That may be an…[Read more]

LMAO. 13 Days is tight but not unattainable time wise. Then again given the turn around times with the majority of Lenders atm it could be a slight push.

Although I’d go as far as to suggest with the 105% and some of the 100% funders it may happen.

Terry, I unfortunately don’t know enough about Trusts and the way they are operated or structured to know if there is any recourse they can take. I posted it more as a warning then to see if anyone knew, but it would also be good if anyone had any ideas on what if any action they could potentially take to retrieve their asset?

Originally posted by Terryw:
A way around this may be to leave as is, and to gear these properties up by having a trust take a mortgage over them. So if attacked, there will be no equity left for anyone to grab.

you can guarantee his property using your own property ,but, not someone elses as Terry stated.

There are other ways to structure the loan though so not even a full half is used for the I.P. Purchase which may assist him with obtaining the finance without using the full 50%. This may assist him with selling the concept to his in-laws as the…[Read more]

Jules depending on which state you are in. It varies accordingly. In Qld YOU the landlord pay for normal water supply. EXCESS WATER is billed to the tenants. Sewerage is paid for by you.
