What is a Moity title

How does this differ from a strata and community title or is it just another term for one of these?

Thanks in advance.
 
You mean Moiety

Pretty much a SA thing.

In the Australian system of land title, the term is typically applied to maisonettes or attached cottages whereby the owner owns a share of the total land on the title and leases a certain portion of the land back for themselves from the other owner(s). Some finance institutions do not offer loans for properties on moiety titles as security.

They make great buying opportunities if you can finance one. You can make invest in making a title change, then you're good to go with refinance or sale in order to realise a gain.
Debbie Williams wrote an article in YIP mag a while ago on that strategy. Can't remember which issue, sorry.
It's one of those "R" things they often talk about as a way of making quick and easy money on a property deal eg.
Re-zone
ReTitle
Renovate
Rcan't remember the other ...
 
Thanks guys. The property with the Moity title I've spotted here in Adelaide may very well be the one 'bernly' was considering - it's cheap is in a very small complex and in a desirable suburb. It's also back on the market after contract failure.

I wonder how the tax implications would differ from this set up if at all?
