I am also in a similar situation. I have PPOR worth about $350K and I owe $150K. I have an offset account but I have transferred much of the amount in offset account to home loan account (I&P), about $100K. There is almost $120K redrawable amount. So, If I want to buy an IP and after 2 years make it PPOR and make current PPOR an IP,how should I structure?
I am trying to explian what I understand as below. Hope it makes sense.
Should I redraw all redrawable amount from current home loan account ( account to offset account (account A), make the current home loan IO (ac and then buy IP with 20% deposit with a new 80% IO investment loan(ac D) with an offset account(ac C). I will be claiming tax deductaible interest on ac D for 2 years.
And after 2 years (when I make IP my PPOR and my PPOR an IP), If I transfer all funds in ac A to ac C , Can I claim the interest on ac B as tax deductible ?
Thanks for your response and sorry for the late reply. I wanted to buy a display home for about $400K and wanted to borrow $360K + Stamp duty I called a few lenders but they don't lend more than 80% for Display Homes as Mortgage Insurers don't accept Display Homes.
