Thanks Jamie.
Hi Richard. Yes I am the sole owner.
Thanks Terry. Guess the decision whether to rent/sell has been made for me! I appreciate your time thank you.
Thanks Jamie for your comments. I appreciate sharing of your knowledge.
Hi Terry
Thanks for your comments. Do you think there is any way this situation is salvageable? I am trying to decide whether to sell/rent property one at the moment. Is it too late to structure things differently? I am not settling on property two until the 1/5 and am at a loss as to how to proceed to my benefit.
Thanks for your time.

Hi Benny
Just went to the library and also rang the tax department. It appears that because I parked my savings in the redraw account, I will only be able to claim interest on the balance that was left after deducting the money in the redraw account i.e about $4000. it looks for all intents and purposes like I had almost paid off the mortgage and then I withdrew all of the money. If it had been an offset account as opposed to a redraw account, I would have been able to deduct interest payments on the entire loan amount.
Am really disappointed that I was not well informed before I put my savings into the redraw account. I thought I was being clever parking the money there whilst I looked for a new property to move into. Silly me!!
If any experts out there have contradictory advice I would embrace it with open arms.
Thanks for your interest.

Thanks for responding Benny. I wish to move in to property 2 and turn property one into an investment property. Would you mind advising me how to get into contact with an advisor on this forum please?
