Seller Finance Relevant Now More Than Ever With The Scrapping of FHSA, Says Rick Otton
(PRWEB) May 25, 2014 -- The 2014 Federal Budget scrapped the First Home Savers Account (FHSA), which provides first home buyers around the country with tax breaks and contributions from the government, News.com.au reported on 16 May 2014.
FHSA previously awarded people saving up for a home deposit with tax breaks and monetary subsidy.
“Government programs like the FHSA have helped alleviate some of the difficulty first-hombuyers faced when saving for a deposit. Therefore, the removal of the FHSA will be no doubt met with some level of frustration among first homebuyers who can never seem to come up with the cash to buy a home,” according to Rick Otton, host of the much awaited seminar tour Ready, Set, BOOM.
Mr. Otton then said in a recent interview that Aussies shouldn’t worry about their chances of becoming home owners even if financial assistance from the government has dwindled.
“The truth is you don’t really need government subsidy to buy houses for sale, since there are other ways Aussies can purchase property without paying a huge deposit or taking out a new bank loan. We’ve just been conditioned that we need a lot of cash to get a home, because that’s how things have been done for a very long time. However, with the changes in the economy and the cost of living, what was practical before is no longer practical today,” commented Mr. Otton.
“That is why it’s very important to come up with creative solutions to solve modern problems. An example of a creative real estate solution is through seller finance. Under this process, sellers and buyers can agree on flexible payment terms. Rather than take out a new loan, a buyer can assume the existing financing and pay the remaining equity in increments. In this way, the seller is able to relinquish unwanted debt and create an immediate cash flow stream. It’s a convenient solution which makes the process of buying and selling much quicker and much more efficient,” said Rick.
