  • TheB replied to the topic Lease Options to retain Rent Assistance in the forum Hotch Potch 20 years, 7 months ago

    Hi All

    you can do a lease option to a client and they can claim rent asistance for themsleves by taking their lease to the appropriate govt department.

    However, this may open you (and your client) up to attack by the authorities if they make a decision that the rental assistance monies were to be only for rent and not to assist in purchase.

    Hi Celivia

    we use excel to do all of our property analysis and day to day running (40-ish dwellings in all). We even use it to calculate P&I accounts for houses that are under Vendor Terms saoes (WRAP) contracts.

    There are no real limitations to what Excel can be used for, but some of the more exotic things that you may wish to automate may…[Read more]

    MI = Mortgage Insurance
    a.k.a. (also known as) LMI, or Lenders Mortgage Insurance.

    It is the premium that you pay to insure your lender against you defaulting on the mortgage. If you default the mortage insurer pays your lender and then come after you!

    Hi Phu

    You are correct on all assumptions.

    It is great to be able to get access to the spare equity in your investments as their capital value rises, but you must consider the increased loan repayments as you described.

    However, if you are putting equity into another investment / deal that generates even more interest than the cost of your…[Read more]

    Hi Everybody

    Wow am I tired !…..

    What an awesome weekend. It was really great to put faces to names and talk with so many of you.

    It is just great that so many people have already taken action too.

  • TheB replied to the topic Time taken for banks to do valuation in the forum No Subject 21 years, 7 months ago

    Peter

    why not find out who the banks panel valuer is and strike a deal where you get them to value the property? If purchase goes ahead they are paid by the bank through the normal channels, if it does not then YOU pay them.

    The way you control the process.

    It has worked for us many times….

    We will soon have settled 40 properties and have recently employed an admin manager who is just awesomely organised.

    With her help we are now cruising pretty nicely. It was a bit of a stretch getting to the appropriate size to make it happen, but given the chance to start from fresh I guess we would have looked for someone much much sooner…[Read more]

    Kirsty

    “Why divide by 2?” well I didn’t make up the rule but that is certainly a very easy number to remember (and do math in your head with !), so I think that simplicity was the driving force.

    This rule is so you can very very quickly filter out properties taht are unlikely to give tyou the result that you need.

    do a search on ‘structure’, ‘trust’, etc on the forum and read the posts.

    There has been quite a discussion on the relative merits of different structuring formats over the last couple of months.

    Whatever you read, AD’s advice is good. You must seek individual advice form your accountant and solicitor to determine the correct method for…[Read more]

    Gavan

    just a bit more info for you…

    The rationale behind having the loan on the PPOR paid off and making the payments on the investment properties minimal (even convert loans to Interest only if feasable) is that you can not claim a tax deduction for cost of finance on your PPOR.

    As this comes from the angle of a negatively geared portfolio…[Read more]

    I think that you know it is a low ball offer if for a similar house / location / tenancy in the existing market you are comparatively very low in price.

    However, irrespective of how low it is; if you have researched accurately the Vendor’s requirements, then a combination of price and terms that seems ‘low’ in comparison to other…[Read more]
