    Split account with offset correct usage

    Thanks Terry, Jamie and Peter. Unfortunately the lender don't have LOC facility. With the limitations, I think the best is to move the offset credits to loan account and pay investment expenses from loan account? I will keep minimal cash in the offset account (fees for the additional loan) so...
