Assignment - Diploma of Finance and Mortgage Broking Management
Case study A- Tom and Steve Broad
Background
Congratulations, you have just been appointed by George and Mildred as the new consultant to handle the extra work. Whilst your major focus is to build the strategic relationships you are also expected to build your own client base using your own connections and networks.
Two brothers, Tom and Steve Broad have approached you with their desire to jointly purchase two apartments in the same building. They want to purchase them as rental properties. The building has 12 apartments. The units have 80% permanent tenants in place and the remaining 20% are used for holiday rentals. The location is a highly sought after area and all holiday periods are fully booked.
The brothers have invested together before and have experience in buying and selling property. They have sold all their other investment properties and the units will be their only investment until they can identify another opportunity. The cash at bank is mostly from the sales of other investments.

Assignment tasks -
Task 1a - Identify the clients' complex broking needs
Prepare a list of questions that you would need to ask Tom and Steve about their history and experience, and the unit purchase.
In preparing your list of questions you should ensure that you cover the following:
The complex features of Tom's and Steve's situation and objectives.
Potential risks and Tom's and Steve's tolerance of risk. In considering risk you should consider:
- how you would identify the risks and the criteria you used to evaluate these risks
- how you would assess their current exposure, the tools you would use in terms of probability, impact and the consequences.
Task 2a -Develop complex broking options
You are required to prepare a full report for Tom and Steve by outlining the process and the risks (potential and real) of which Tom and Steve should be aware.
In a suitable format, document the process that is required for them to purchase the two units as their investment properties, establishing a joint loan in the brother's names. You should also include a selection of lenders that will consider this style of borrowing.
In developing your report you should cover the following:
1. The parties to the loan including any opportunities or constraints that could impact on their application
2. The different options available and your recommendation of the best loan structure with the lender - are they using their own property as cross security or the cash at bank as deposit?
3. What various forms of titles could an apartment be registered in
4. A list of the lenders that are able to lend
5. The procedure to commence a loan for a property like this
6. The steps that will need to be in place
7. The client responsibilities, so Tom and Steve fully understand the loan
8. An outline as to the process and what the client needs to arrange
9. The documentation needed to commence the borrowing
10. The name in which the client will sign the contract/purchase/offer and acceptance. If a Family trust is involved what name would the title of the property be registered in, and advise what state you are using to base your answer on
11. The state revenue requirements
12. Which lenders may also require a personal guarantee from Steve'sspouse
13. The maximum LVR to the consumer
14. A summary of all fees and charges - including those for setup and those of the lender.
Task 3a - Implement complex loan structures
Tom and Steve have accepted your recommendations and have given you authority to proceed with their application.
As part of implementing their loan application you are required to prepare a formal written loan submission to the lender for pre-approval. Your loan submission must include the following:
- serviceability calculations
- the proposed structure of the loan given there are two brothers and there is a variance in income
- the loan amount
- the property style, size, use
- any other information that is relevant to the lenders requirements.
In additional to these requirements you should also include:
- your obligations under the NCCP (if any)
- maximum loan amount
- maximum loan terms
- any ATO consideration to be made
- your state legislation and OSR requirements
- your general advice restrictions
- property purchase requirements.
Note: Any assumptions you make should be listed, and not be in conflict with the case study information already provided.
