    Sounds like you've made an offer already, was it subject to finance? I can't imagine the owner agreeing to that and the big discount etc if a quick settlement is what he wants

    I'm looking for 1,300,000
    Technically it can be considered commercial due to the number of units if I borrow it all together - But then I'm short on the LVR

    with the deal still available,the longer it goes on the better your chances from a vendor softening perspective (usually)

    So you have no equity and not enough income to service the debt?.

    Am I right in saying your putting nothing into the deal, cant afford to support it, and want someone else to pay for.

    About your only chance would be to purchase the property, with long settlement, then sell the individual units prior to settlement. The risk of doing this is well outside of my comfort zone though.

    Im all for 'the impossible means nothing' type of attitude, but this will be a very difficult deal to pull off.

    Yep....pipe dream.

    You can find less risky commercial deals like this every day of the week. Where the income outweighs the interest and outgoings - doesn't mean you can secure the property. Lenders want comfort you have skin in the game too.

    Sounds like a great Spruiker's deal!
    "its easy - buy under value, re-val, put nothing in - get everything out, use other peoples money, cash flow is king, yada yada yada".

    Note too selling individual units during settlement would mean double stamp duty and no cgt relief so not really much of an option.

    What he really needs is an investment partner to take a tiny profit share in exchange for putting their name, income and deposit on the line.

    Going for the 48hr record in September, which is just over 3x Everest (Actually, having just recently investigated, its actually taller than Olympus Mons - the tallest natural structure in the Solar System).

    Working on the minor details of bike/hill/sponsors/charity etc before fully announcing!
