Unregistered MIS — Industrial Warehouse Portfolio

The Scenario

A property syndicate structured as an unregistered managed investment scheme sought finance to acquire a portfolio of large industrial warehouses in regional Victoria.

The Challenge

The syndicate required non-recourse lending with no directors guarantees — a structure many lenders are unfamiliar with. Loan documentation needed to reflect the MIS trust structure correctly, requiring coordination between the client, their solicitor, and the bank's solicitor.

The Solution

We identified a major bank willing to provide a lease-doc facility on a non-recourse basis. We then worked closely with all parties — the client, their legal counsel, and the bank's solicitors — to ensure the loan contracts correctly reflected the trust structure and that no personal guarantees were required.

The Outcome

The facility was successfully arranged with a major bank. The syndicate acquired the warehouse portfolio with no directors guarantees, and all loan documentation was executed correctly on the first pass.

First Position, Fast Decisions

A private first mortgage puts a non-bank lender in first position on your property in exchange for speed and flexibility a bank cannot offer: indicative terms in days, low-doc income assessment, prior credit events considered in context, and settlements timed to your deadline rather than a credit queue.

Typical uses include auction purchases the bank cannot settle in time, refinancing away from a lender that has issued a demand, clearing ATO debt to open a path back to bank finance, and equity release for business investment. Residential, commercial, industrial, and retail security is all considered.

Straight Answers on Cost and Fit

Private first mortgages cost more than bank debt — that is the trade for speed and flexibility, and it only makes sense with a defined exit measured in months. We put every cost in writing before you commit and tell you honestly when waiting for a bank would serve you better.

Our minimum is $250,000 in net funds and all lending is for business or investment purposes. Because we broker across bank, non-bank, and private panels, the deal other brokers could not place is often one we can — including low-doc, regional security, and credit-impaired scenarios on certain loans, subject to lender criteria.

Frequently Asked Questions

Important — Private Lending Risk Disclosure

Private lending and short-term secured finance involves risks that differ from standard bank lending. Please read this notice carefully before proceeding.

Fees: Brokerage fees become payable upon your signing of the letter of offer. At our discretion, we may allow deferral of payment until settlement — but this does not waive or reduce the obligation to pay. Commitment fees, valuation fees, legal fees, and other costs may be incurred from engagement and are payable regardless of whether the facility proceeds to settlement.

Security interests: Lenders will register a mortgage or caveat over the secured property as a condition of approval. Andorra Private, as your broker, may also hold a registered security interest over the property for unpaid broker fees. These interests remain registered until the loan is settled or all outstanding fees are paid.

We strongly recommend you obtain independent legal and financial advice before signing any loan or fee documents.
