    Hey guys.

    I recently sold 1 of my 2 properties, i live in 2nd one. Looking at buying another place and renting out the one im living in. My question is if i pay out my loan for the house im in, in the mean time, then i cannot re loan that and get tax benefits later on when i re buy can i ?

    I got a offset account and put full amount of loan into it but still pay principle….. basically i dont want to pay any $$ to bank in the time between buying next place…….. is there a way to do it ?

    Hi Tommy,

    Some of our Mortgage Brokers onboard could likely come up with a more complete scenario for you.  I would think you will be able to find a way that works best for you.  Meantime, do have a look at this post :-

    https://www.propertyinvesting.com/topic/5037642-investment-property-finance-tax/#post-5037653

    It was written for those who are contemplating moving out of their PPOR and making it into a rental.   Terryw mentions 11 separate strategies that may (or may not) apply to you.   Check out some of his later ideas (in particular, Strategies 7 thru 11) as there are some VERY useful thoughts right there.

    No because there will be no interest.

    If a loan is fully offset there will be no interest to pay, but if you remove the offset the interest will start again and this interest could be deductible if the loan related to the purchase of that property and that property then becomes available for rent.
