Task 2 — Prepare complex broking options
You are required to prepare a full report for Bill and John by outlining the application process and the risks (potential and real) of which they should be aware. This must be presented in a suitable format that would be sent to the client.
You will be required to outline to the directors the product options available to them and the process that will need to take place for them to complete the new property purchase and establish the loan.
In preparation of researching the product options, you will need to understand the client’s situation and what funds will be available between the purchase and the sale settlement as outlined in the case study.
The two (2) product options for the property purchase are as follows:
Option 1: A bridging loan with a term loan following bridging period (post sale settlement)
Option 2: A variable rate term loan (to effect the purchase in 90 days time).
In developing your report, you should cover the following:
1. Who are the parties to the loan, given the Trust involvement
2. Provide Bill and John with two (2) complex loan product options
– Option 1: Bridging loan with a term loan to follow the bridging period
– Option 2: Variable rate term loan.
3. What are your recommendations of the best loan structure option, including:
• the loan amount
• security/collateral including personal and company guarantees
• the loan term
• an explanation as to why the other option is not as suitable for the clients (include pros and cons and differences in fees and interest etc.)
4. Name three (3) lenders that offer the recommended product option required to facilitate this transaction. Advise the client of the product type, loan term, interest rate, ongoing fees and monthly repayment for each of the lenders.
5. What is the procedure to implement the loan, including the documentation Bill and John are required to provide and the security they need to provide?
6. Outline the risks of which Bill and John should be made aware. Information should cover risks associated with the selected loan products and required security, including guarantees and forms of security required in addition to property.
7. Provide the name of the borrower that will be on the loan contract. Also, what name will go on the Certificate of Title (given the Trust involvement) when it is registered with the Land Titles Office? (This varies from state to state so please advise which state you are from – refer to the Toolbox for assistance to conduct your research.)
8. Prepare a full funding description including a summary of fees and charges for the purchase of the property and also the setup costs (e.g. solicitors fees) and the lender’s fees and charges. If there is a shortfall of funds, how will this shortfall be covered?
9. The clients enquired about claiming back the GST that is included in the purchase price after settlement. In accordance with your qualification as a mortgage broker, what do you advise the clients to do regarding this question?
10. You request that the client informs you of any questions about the transaction and/or provide instructions for you to proceed.
11. Advise which relevant disclosures need to be made to the client regarding the broker remuneration.

Task 3 — Implement complex loan structures
Bill and John 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:

• an overview of the proposal — what the finance is for, the proposed structure and loan recommended, including:
– product type

– loan amount
– term
– interest rate
– loan repayments.
• a funds-to-complete table, including statutory costs and any relevant fees
