I dont know enough about trusts at this stage to say wether I can or cant use them for it. At the moment I am just exploring every possibility finding out how I can expand it to buy more property
I’ve written hundreds of posts on trusts. There is also thousands of pages of good information out there – written by lawyers. Keep in mind there is also thousands of pages of misinformation out there.
Thanks terry. I’m just starting out, going for my second property at the moment and pretty soon I am going to max out my borrowing power and come to a screaming halt. To quote steve mcknight when buying into a trust and not in your name “garenteing to pay a loan is not the same as borrowing the money yourself” essentially you can borrow alot more by buying into the trust and gaurenteing to pay the loan for the trust if it was to default. Is there any truth to this? Or completely wrong which seems to be the case.
Giving a personal guarantee generally means the lenders will assess you as if you had borrowed the money yourself. However it will come down to the lender and how deep the dig.
