Hi,
I've been asked a question by a friend (who reads the forum).
He is going to buy a new PPOR. He wants to sell his old PPOR (when the new one is built) and then buy a new Investment Property.
I've had a look at the thread http://www.somersoft.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=215 but was interested to try a few scenarios
I've suggested that he rent out his old PPOR when that happens. But he's concerned that if he did that, he would miss out on the tax advantages of a loan taken out for investment purposes.
I've put together a simple spreadsheet. But it's full of holes at the moment. But it's a starting point as to figure out whether one way is better than the other.
I don't know my friends situation, so this might help. Especially if people can plug holes.
Geoff
