Is the Real Estate Agent part of this 'Team' ? How does the receipt for a $56K deposit get generated?

Regards,


Duncan.

Sound's like it would hold water ;-)

But wait; isn't this the "Property Investor Forum", not the Alan B..d creative accountancy and asset stripping forum?
<p>
<cite>
My broker tells me he can get finance without a valuation on properties in this bracket.
</cite>
If this is true, I have a house of cards I want to flip. I could buy up some 20K houses in Burnie in Tas, then flip them to person B for 120K who can get finance without a valuation, I can walk away with 100K a pop!
<p>
And I am not even remotely imaginative, I am sure someone could come up with a much more profitable ways of extracting money from lenders who don't do the most fundamental form of due diligence. That must be one hell of a low doc's product.
<p>
So if this works and you are not breaking any fraud/deception laws, maybe this is right for you! I think it is possible to build wealth via much more moral and reasonable methods.
<p>
Michael Yardney's latest Property Investment Update, gives an example of a very reasonable plan of one of his customers, to buy, redevelop ( 2 units in Richmond Vic), and refinance giving a profit of 200K which allows the developer to hold via finance only. How about that! a moral, legal and legitimate way to build wealth which offers better results!
<p>
Imagine I posted an message recommended that everyone could get free petrol, via siphoning it out of bankers BMW's whilst they were out on a long boozy lunch? Some would say they deserve it, but it doesn't make it right.
<p>
This is forum is about capitalism; building wealth, not siphoning it off! Come over to Japan to see the legacy upon one of the worlds greatest economies when siphoning get's out of hand!

Dear Annon

Good stuff. This is what I like to hear, creative thinking.

Yes, I believe some banks don't require a valuation to be done if the property is in a capital city, the LVR is below 80% and the property is purchased thru a real estate agent. Some also stipulate it must not be a related entity, ie you selling it to your company etc. But the limit that I am aware of with the bank I am thinking of (Macquarie Bank) is anything under $200,000. Anything over needs a valuation. But there are hundreds of lenders out there.

There is also extra costs in capital gains and stamp duty.

But this method can, and does, work.

Member B has the ability to obtain a receipt from an agent as testament to the fact that a 20% deposit has been received (56K)

</cite>

As Ducan alluded too, assuming that this is a licensed realestate agent I would assume that either:

<ol>

<li> This is against the law ie. creating of bogus receipts or certifying such exist!

<li> This is against the real-estate agents code-of-conduct regulations. (OK given my experiences with agents, this is more a flexible set of guidelines)

</ol>

<p>

At the very minimum this is a very slick practice. If it works and it is legal and this is OK with you and you accept the inherent risks involved then go for it! I just think there are better ways.
