    We deep dive into a groundbreaking new lending strategy for property investors — the ability to move personal property debt into a trust or company structure without changing ownership titles. We discuss what’s changed, who this strategy benefits and the crucial risks investors must understand before making the switch.

    We outline how this approach can unlock borrowing power, particularly for self-employed individuals or those with multiple income sources, while warning that it may not suit early investors or PAYG earners. Through real-life examples, the conversation breaks down when and why this structure makes sense — and when it can backfire.

    Main Takeaways:
    📌 New lending opportunity: refinancing personal property loans into a trust.
    📌 Who benefits: self-employed, high-income, multi-entity investors.
    📌 Risks: limited lender support, refinancing restrictions and tax complexity.
    📌 Real example: an investor unlocks $1M in borrowing power through trust structuring.
    📌 Key advice: strategy must align with clear investment goals and accountant guidance.
