Hi all,
What are your thoughts on Portfolio Loans?
They are similar to LOC's where there is a maximum borrowing limit.
You are free to structure the loan as you please, and have sub-accounts with separate statements for Investment purposes.
I haven't seen many posts on here about portfolio loans.
And my broker suggested using a Portfolio loan for my situation.
Wanting to buy a PPOR next.
Have spare savings that I want to use to fund the deposit for IPs.
a. With a Portfolio Loan, I can borrow say $500k for my PPOR. So Max limit is $500k on the portfolio loan.
b. Dump my savings into the Portfolio Loan. Loan amount is lowered, so lower interest is paid.
c. Create a sub-account, and transfer (aka redraw) say $100k into a new sub account.
d. Withdraw the $100k from the sub account, and use the fund for a deposit on IP.
e. Repeat the process for the next IPs etc etc.
Sub-accounts, are considered a re-borrow, so the interest on the sub account is deductible.
This kind of acts identical to an Equity LOC loan.
Except if the borrowing is within your maximum borrow limit, you dont need Bank approvals.
Good, Bad? or very ugly?
