    Hi Friends,
    I was wondering if refinancing a property held in a trust is the same as for an individual?

    This is simply a hypothetical for my own knowledge.

    Thanks
    Michael

    More or less - extra documentation of course, and structure, but the process is the same.

    Yes, same situation - unless the trust deed prohibits it in some way.

    If there is a family trust involved. Then servicing may be affected because in most cases family trusts quarantine negative gearing
