    I have a investment property that a rent to my parent . As I have 2 new children time has come to either buy another investment or sell that one. Is buying 2 properties under Interest only loans viable ?
    The first house is worth around 450k but I only charge my mum $240 / week to help her out.  True rent should be around $350+
    I keep it as my Main Resident so CGT should be taken care of
    I prefer to buy another house to live in and make that our our PPOR 
    I am thinking of Changing the loan (100k) to a Interest only loan then redrawing another 100k for deposit on new house (Total 200k)
    Buy 2nd house around 430k interest only (360k loan)
    Loan repayments should be equivelent to rent I pay now
    I wish to build a buffer of around 50k as a redraw to be placed back into loan (emergency buffer)
    Bank has given ok if I want

    How is the best way to structure the loans to maximise tax deductions
    Is this the smartest way to go    I am open to sugestions
    Thanks laughingoat

    All loans should be interest only. A separate loan should be added on the first one to access any equity. Not so efficient to use redraws. try to borrow the 20% deposit and costs from the 2nd loan an then get a stand alone loan for the remaining 80%.
