    Hi,

    I am aware that many people would have asked the same question in the past but I am still not clear on this and will appreciate your opinion.

    In a nutshell, i am planning to refinance my PPOR and use the additional funds (i.e. cashout component) to buy another investment property.

    My existing homeloan: $250,000

    Current valuation of house: $425,000

    Refinance based on 80%: $340,000

    Ask the new lender to split the loan in two:

    First loan: $250,000 (principle and interest)

    second loan: $90,000 (interest only)

    Initially i will advise lender to park the cashout component (i.e. $90,000

    in second loan)

    In the next few months, I will buy an investment property and that is when, I will withdraw funds from second loan ($90,000) and use them to purchase the new property.

    I am thinking about doing this because then i can clearly show that $90,000 was used to generate income and hence I can claim tax deduction for interest paid on that amount.

    Thanks,

    How are you going to park the $90k?

    Sounds good – make sure you get the loans separate so you do not cross contaminate the deductible tax interest. Also keep your properties unlinked.

    Also use the increase in funds (albeit not huge amount) so negotiate a better rate.

    Also consider your longer term goals. If you're looking to purchase multiples properties in the future – you might want to spread those funds further than the first IP.

    Cheers

    Why not get a LOC for $90K then you can just draw on it as needed for deposits etc.  As you PPOR price rises or as you pay down your PPOR you can top up the LOC to buy more.

    Take out a new separate 80% loan for each new IP. That way they are not cross collaterised.
