    redraw from IP to IP

    This is what I have learnt from reading other threads on SS. How about if OP open an offset account against IP1. When he sells IP2 then the money parked to offset account of IP1. The money on offset account can be used for PPOR, and the loan amount of IP1 is never changed and that is still...
