Are we crazy to continue to have debt on your PPOR if you have equity in IP?

Hi Bundy,
excerpt from a previous post (similar to what you are saying )...
I guess another way to draw down on equity from an IP to pay down your PPOR is to refinance the IP, buy an annuity aka 'Steve Navara Cashbond' and deposit the annuity income onto the PPOR offset account. This may take a minimum of 1 year I believe because the minimum length of an annuity is 1 year.
This should work because buying an annuity/Cashbond returns interest + capital thus intrest can be claimed on the IP loan

- Cashbonds appear to be on solid legal ground.
- Given the above; cashbonds could be used to transfer equity from any IP's you have now since cashbond annuity payments could be used to paydown debt against your PPOR.
- I understand the interest rate differential between a cashbond and a LOC mortgage is 2%. Thus the cost to move equity from your IP to PPOR will be 2%. If you owe 200K on your PPOR and have $200K worth of spare equity in IP's, get a $200K LOC on your IP's, buy a one year cash bond paying $16.6K/month, use that $16.6K to pay down principle on the PPOR.
