Hi all, I enjoy reading on this forum and have found it to be a valuable source of information. I have question which I think is relevant to other property investors, but never asked.
When I started on my property investment journey, living off equity growth was the harvesting strategy anticipated to be employed. This strategy advised never sell and simply pass property to children. In particular the FAQ my investment club (company/marketer) provided, was the question "won't your children be burdened by the mortgage debt?"
Answer "yes, but they will love the assets associated with the debt".
Thus it was stated children could continue the strategy of owning bequeathed property assets and harvesting the equity growth.
The amazing thing is at the club presentations, no queries on how do you pass from one person to another a mortgage debt. How do you manage this with your mortgagee? What happens when property of say $400,000 value and variable rate mortgage debt of maybe $300,000 is inherited by a relative of the deceased?
Thanks for your anticipated replies.
