Wraps in WA

[Glenn]

From: Glenn Mott


At the first Perth Freestyler meeting last week, one of the topics mentioned was wrapping properties in WA and the challenges surrounding them.

I would be interested in speaking to anyone who has attempted or completed any of these deals.

Glenn,

I came across a site about a year ago with an investors club in WA talking about wraps. I haven't got the reference but I found it searching for wraps and Australia.

cheers,

Bob

Bob/Glen,

I believe there is such a site, I too cannot remember its name, but a few key words in a search engine should produce results.

go to the association site www.financewraps.asn.au but you can do lease options like some guys do in Qld and S.A. or you can pay 1% fee of retail sale price to have a license or skip all the govt legislation and sell your houses principal payments only therefore not charging interest and therefore being outside the credit code.

I'm trying to understand clearly what you are saying here.
Do you mean set up an adjusted interest-free mortgage for a larger amount, and receive regular principal payments?
And this bypasses the credit code?

If this is so, the adjusted amount could be a scary figure - even though having the same PV. And you'd need to to take into account interest rate variation too.
Intriguing idea.

cheers, Tony

Hi,

Find a good spreadsheet amortization table and play with the figures.

Basically you work out your profits and thus your weekly/monthly payments, then recalculate it without interest keeping the same repayment figure.

As for variable interest problems, well one solution is to get a 10yr fixed 1st mortgage or something and have a 10yr wrap. that way your insured against a change in rates.

Or have a 1-5 year fixed rate with a ballon period at the end (ie lump sum payment) meaning they have to cash you out in 1-5 years as part of the contract (ie refinance you out of deal).

nothing I have done, only read about.
