    If you have an LOC on your PPOR and use the drawings soley for deposits, closing costs and other expenses for an IP is the LOC interest tax deductable? Is it advisable and does it link the PPOR to the IP?

    If the LOC has been set up and used purely for this purpose than yes, the interest will be deductible.

    If you have one LOC covering your PPOR and your deposits on investment properties, it's messy and dangerous because you will have a hard time trying to apportion your deductible debt from your non-deductible.

    Therefore, if setting up a LOC, it's ideal to have have it set-up as a second loan against your PPOR.

    Generally speaking, an interest only loan with offset will provide the same result as a LOC at a lower cost.

    Cheers
