    I would probably pay $50,000 off your home loan and then get a LOC on this property up to 80%.
    -Use this LOC (Line of Credit) to pay for the 20% deposit and costs of the new purchase and then get another 80% loan for the remainder.
    -New loan should be IO.
    -Home loan should have a 100% offset account attached where all salary and rents etc go.
    -Use a credit card with points to pay bills and leave the money in the offset as long as possible.
    -Borrow from the LOC to pay all expenses related to the new investment property such as rates, insurance etc. Keep the cash you would have used for this in your offset account.

    Talk to your accountant on borrowing any short fall from the interest repayments – rental income.

    Borrowing to fund investment expenses frees up money for the offset which saves non-deductible interest.

    I agree with Terry.

    You might like to have both loans as interest only with the offset account attached to the non deductible loan.

    What starts out as a PPOR could end easily end up as a IP and therefore flexibility is the key.

    Also make sure the loans are non cross collateralised.

    This day and age it doesnt really matter where your Broker  located as most applications are lodged electronically.

    Terry is only an email a way and with his knowledge and experience will serve you better than any more local mortgage broker.

    Just drop him a line he doesnt bite.
