I think you can go 100% offset on your NAB a/c provided the mortgage you have with them isn’t their base variable rate one. I don’t think it matters if it’s business, but if I’m wrong I’m sure someone will correct me.

I knew I’d have to find out all the ongoing costs, just wasn’t sure if I’d have enough deposit before I investigated more deeply. I might just stick to residential property I think, much easier.
