Hi all. I have been learning this thread with gread interest, since I have been using just one saving account to service both PPOR and IP loans
. I do have logistic problems in separating tax-deductibles from non-deductibles, as well as in having access to large cash reserve for deposit for new IP (I used redraw on PPOR loan
).
While I still owe money on the PPOR, is this the most optimal setup?
(1) PPOR and personal non-tax-deductible affairs
- Have an offset account linked to the PPOR loan
- All salaries goes to this offset
- Personal bills, personal purchases and loan repayment are paid from this offset
- Credit card linked to offset
(2) Investment (IP, shares, etc.)
- Set up a LOC
- All rental and dividents are paid into this LOC
- IP interest, IP bills and capital for share trading are paid from this LOC
- Should I have a separate credit card for IP bill payment linked to this LOC or can I use the credit card linked to offset?
As I can pay off the PPOR within next year, how should I structure the accounts thereafter?
- Keep or get rid of the offset?
- Where does the salary go to?
- How to get large money for personal use, such as changing car?
