Quick Question – what would be the best structure to use if I were to team up with another person to build a property empire?
Would we both create our own discretionary trusts and then form a unit trust? With our disc. trusts owning 50% each of the unit trust? With the unit trust having a corporate trustee in which we are directors of??
Ultimately you will need a good accountant. I would find someone familiar with property investing and such – maybe a phone call to your own accountant or one recommended would be a start.
Im Agreeing with Annaw2, you definetly need a good accountant, the rest is easy from there.
Find property and getting finance, is the easy part but if you have an accounting background you be laughing, this makes it, all the easier.

Save on a regular basis
“People forget that by saving just $3 per day and investing it sensibly over a working life, you’ll end up with around $1 million.”
I would recommend as a first point of call visiting http://www.gatherumgoss.com and purchasing both the ‘Tax Battles’ and ‘Trust Magic’ manuals written by Dale Gatherum Goss. I rec’d them on Friday, and read them in two sittings.
Absolute must read for those wishing to use a trust structure, and also wishing to invest with other people also using trust structure.
