    This is a fair assumption but the other possibility is that you don’t just put a house into a trust, you sell it to the trust from your name into the trustees name. This triggers a stamp duty and CGT event(and no you can’t sell for $1, it has to be fair market value).

    Also if you have shares and want to put them into the trust sell them when the share price goes below your purchase price, that way you don’t pay CGT and you can carry a loss.

    TP

    We have a standard business practice of faxing our offer through were practical so no money is required until the offer is accepted. Then we only pay $1000 deposit. With the exception of an angent asking politely for a bit more. And no more money is required until settlement which the bank takes care of from my LOC.

    Hi Tom

    I used the search function on this forum and found your post within one minute.

    Given the recent changes to the site you might want to keep the search function in mind for any further misplaced posts.

    Hi Dennis

    Hang in there, concentrate on the POSITIVE[;)] and keep on posting your comments about property. Things will settle down again, you can’t change personalities so sometimes they clash, it happens here from time to time and is unsettling but all we can do is keep the forum moving in a constructive way.

    Cheers

    Gosh mine is pretty bland but it is the very first time I bought any real estate our PPOR, it was at auction and the agent said at the begining the house will be sold today as this is a non referal auction. I said to my husband “whats a non referal auction” he said “don’t know”. At this point you would expect we would have asked the uestion of the agent – but we didn’t, we just assumed it ment he wouldn’t be going inside to see the vendor. So we get to the end of the auction $3k under our budget we were wrapped, just as he was suposed to say sold he said “I’ll jsut wait for my instructions” – so we figure it mustn’t have ment that. He came back out and restarted the auction which got a further $4k out of us (oh well). Years later we found out it does mean that and we should have called him on it.

    You live and learn.

    Your first PPOR isn’t goging to be your last, so don’t get caught in the dream too much, use common sense even inthe purchase of your PPOR it is a good testing ground for keeping the emotions in check when buying a house.

    Personally my vote is buy your PPOR first leverage from it to buy many investment properties and work up to the next PPOR from there. Well that is what path we are on, the sale of our house (hopeful sale) will pay out our line of credit giving us better equity in our porerties and allow us to buy up to the next one. Our progress will be slower than Del or others buy that is our plan.

    BTW, get a plan and stick to it.

    Funny how people don’t have a problem with buying and reselling immediately for a higher price, but doing the same thing only on selling through an installment contract makes us evil [}:)].

    Don’t know if I fully agree with needing a seperate forum board for it but definately a “DaleGG” moderator for such topics would be good.

    Hi RAC28H

    When I was starting out I would email agents from the links on realestate.com and found the same response. I was approaching them this way because I was afraid to call them in person.

    But now I ring and prefer the mobile number because I want my answer NOW! Not after the message has been vetted by an assistant and then finally handed to a sales rep maybe a couple of days later.

    Get in there, call them up … I quickly learnt they are just people like me wanting to make a deal. And always be honest with them … don’t talk s**t.

    Cheers
