    I am just about to rent out my townhouse which will make a return of around 10% so I will be making a small amount of profit each week. I am going to be renting a house for next to nothing so what should I do with my extra money that I will be making, put it into my investment propety or will this lower the amount I get back at tax time or have a morgage offset account?? I would like to buy another investment propety by the end of the year. Also should I take out the excess money out of my homeloan (which will be my investment propety soon) and put that towards an ip or just borrow 100% to cover my ip??? I would then have to pay Morgage insurance which I don’t know to much about???

    I think I need alot of advice, please help!!

    Thanks

    Consider putting the money into an offset account if you have that facility.

    You can borrow 100% without paying LMI if there is only 80% against the new property. The other 20% can come from your offset or from your townhouse loan.

    I’m sorry but I don’t quite follow, very new to this.

    I owe about 80% on my townhouse at the moment so you say I shouldn’t have to pay LMI??

    That changes it a little. If you can keep both loans below 80% then no LMI payable.

    If you have had the townhouse long enough then a reval should unlock some more equity.

    So can you tell me why it is not a good idea to put my extra money into my ip if I can withdraw it from my account at any time???

    Thanks for your help!
