Converting IP to PPOR

[Mal P]

Hi folks,

After having done a search on these forums, just to make it clear in my mind...

If I had IP#1 that I drew down $100k from to fund the deposit for IP#2, and one day I make IP#2 my PPOR, am I still allowed to claim a tax deduction on the $100k I drew-down? I presume the answer is no, but is there a time-limit exemption such as for CGT and PPORs?

Thank you

no dedn for the 100

but if you get into a debt recycle strategy you may be able to kill it off much more quickly

Hi Rolf - Debt recycling? This is where you let the interest capitalise on IP#1, claim all the deductions etc (as long as its for the purposes of paying off the PPOR) and then pay all the rent and every spare bit of cash you have into the PPOR? Can you still put all these PPOR repayments into an off-set account in case I decide to make the PPOR the IP#2 again?
