Okay, I've asked a related question before and I had some good responses then (thanks), but now the premise has changed a little and I'm relying on your advice once more.
My parents have got some cash available from selling a property (around $500k) and my parents were originally going to lend it to me to buy a property, then I'd refinance and give them the money back so that they could buy an IP themselves.
But my parents have now decided that they don't want to have to deal with tenants and asked me if I would be interested in borrowing the money at bank rates and just pay them the interest.
At the same time, my girlfriend and I have decided that we want to purchase a PPOR for around $800k.
Now, my question is what the best way to go about this is. Since I've got the $500k available now, I'd like to buy a couple of IPs as well. How do I go about this to maximise my tax deductibility and not negatively affecting my borrowing capacity.
My parents have also offered to guarantee for up to $200k on the PPOR to ensure that we can avoid paying LMI.
It's all a bit complicated, so I hope my explanation makes some sense.
