About this listen

 This episode unpacks the myth of “unlimited borrowing” through multiple trust structures. Cate, Dave, and Mike explain why lenders look through trusts to the borrower, meaning all debts are still counted. They cover higher costs, tougher lending policies, and land tax pitfalls. Trusts offer asset protection, not extra borrowing capacity....So investors must seek proper legal, tax, and lending advice.
