How do I finance a property I technically own?
A secured loan may be the option for you.
Q: My father bought a property some years ago with the title deed in my name. He receives the rental income from this property and provides the necessary taxable amount to pay to Sars [South African Revenue Service]. I’ve been saving over the past couple years and have enough saved – R100,000 – for a decent deposit. My father has suggested that I could take out a home loan for the remainder of the amount and ‘purchase’ the property from him at the current fair market value of R500 000. The property is already tenanted so I think this is a good deal.
