Hi group, I don't post a lot, but I read everything. Thanks for all the great info & discussion.
We have our own house and 1 IP, both highly geared. I changed jobs 5 months ago and now work on the other side of Sydney to where we live. We'd like to move closer to my work, but couldn't afford a house in the area. However we can afford to rent a small flat.
Rental wouldn’t cover costs if we hold our own house, as the interest is not tax deductible, so it would cost an extra $100/week to keep it. I don’t want to sell it, but believe that we will have to, and buy another IP somewhere.
Does anyone know any ways around this – ie basically making the interest payments on out house deductible.
Your help would be much appreciated
