Maverick (noun) - “Someone who exhibits great independence in thought and action” .
BY NEALE PETERSEN

Involved in the real estate industry since 1972, Lew Geffen is undoubtedly one of the doyens in the business. Today, he is considered as one of South Africa’s leading experts in real estate. As chairman of Lew Geffen Sotheby’s International Realty, Lew also holds directorships in other associated property and industry-related companies. It was, therefore, a pleasant surprise to discover that he is not only an avid REIM reader and follower, he’s had REIM delivered directly to his home for a number of years.

Money Grows On Trees "Promises to Pay"!
BY MONIQUE TERRAZAS

The banking and financial system globally is under scrutiny as scandal after scandal rocks what we had always assumed was a trustworthy industry, solid as rock. But things have changed. There is little doubt that the irresponsible practice of securitisation and inter-bank lending brought about the global credit crunch.

Image The Truth About Trusts.
What benefits lie behind the tax?
BY KOOS DU TOIT

Once investors understand how simple and cost-effective a trust can be, it becomes one of the greatest tools in their wealth creation armoury. Why use a trust? Of particular importance to property investors, a trust is a structure through which you can obtain more mortgage bonds than you would be able to in your personal name. Trusts, as separate legal entities, are not subject to the provisions of the National Credit Act.

Should foreign property owners be worried?
BY RUI MARTO

Last month the Minister of Rural Development and Land Reform, Gugile Nkwinti, announced that foreign nationals will no longer be able to own land in South Africa once the Government’s new Land Policy is finalised and promulgated into law. The news has sent shockwaves amongst foreign nationals who already own property in South Africa, foreign investors and the property industry. These were not the only restrictions announced by the Minister which are sought to be introduced. In this article, I examine what these proposed Land Reforms will be and more specifically, the extent to which they will affect the foreign nationals’ ownership of property in South Africa.
