Steve goes through the process in a very easy and understandable manner. Wraps are one of the many different strategies which you can use when it comes to positvely geared properties. If you have any further questions after taking a look at the above URL there are plenty of people here who would be happy to help you. []
I did a lot of research into vendor financing and even spoke to a property lawyer who send it can’t be done with WA’s Consumer Credit laws. Have you been able to get around this problem?
I’m still in the process of doing my research but the question of wrapping in WA was raised in a previous thread in this forum, regarding wether or not you needed a Credit Provider’s License to do it..
quote:
Your exact question was raised in the first WA Vendor Finance Association Meeting held last week.
The answer is ambiguous in that the govt department that issues the Credit Providers License advises that a license is only required if “you are carrying on a business”. They give no real definition of carrying on a business, however I guess if you have formed a company, trust or put more than 1 WRAP together you would be probably seen as carrying on a business.
For your info, there were a couple of people at the meeting who had applied for, and and received the license who said that it was a process that takes about 2-3 months.
I guess the thing you have to remember is that you shouldn’t let a hurdle like this stand between you and your dreams!
Hey guys,
I am not in Perth but I know Rick Otton was over there recently and was talking to Govt. etc about possibillity to Wrap in your lovely state. You may want to track him down and or contact him through the vendor finance association. http://www.financewraps.asn.au

Hi all,
I too am also in Perth and would like to talk with like minded people regarding wraps and property investing. Any discussions on any topic would be great.
I went to Ricks talk about 3 weeks ago and he mentioned that the way to get around a credit license is to include the interest in the selling price. ie if you onsell to the purchaser for 130k then add say 15k for interest so sell at 145k and dont charge them interest for the loan. So you still collect the interest and avoid getting a license. However if you are in this game for the long-term just get a license for around $250 and accept the waiting period. Also if you try the above, get your lawyer to look it over.
